Oregon runs a licensed adult-use market alongside its medical program, and the practical legal issues are licensing, ownership, advertising limits and the enforcement that follows any lapse in compliance. The Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission administers the state program. Oregon stands out as one of the oldest regulated markets, where much of the current work involves consolidation, license transfers and market saturation rules.
