When did recreational marijuana become legalized in Oregon?

Recreational marijuana became legalized in Oregon following the passing of Measure 91, which was approved by voters in November of 2014. This measure allowed for the legal possession, use, and sale of recreational marijuana for adults aged 21 and older. The law officially went into effect on July 1, 2015, allowing licensed retailers to sell recreational marijuana to the public. The movement towards legalization was significant in Oregon’s cannabis history, paving the way for regulatory frameworks and industry development in subsequent years.

The other options refer to different events in Oregon’s cannabis timeline, such as the introduction of earlier medical marijuana laws or the eventual implementation of recreational sales, but none coincide with the actual passage of Measure 91, making November 2014 the pivotal moment for recreational legalization.
