Oregon Measure 91 (2014) allows adults 21+ to grow up to 4 cannabis plants per household for personal use. Multnomah County does not add local restrictions. Portland requires plants to be out of public view under PCC 14B.70. Landlords may prohibit growing in rental leases. OLCC licenses commercial growing separately.
Oregon's Measure 91 (2014) legalized recreational cannabis and allows adults 21 and older to grow up to 4 plants per household - not per adult - for personal use. The 4-plant household limit applies statewide under ORS 475C.305, and cities/counties cannot raise or lower it for personal cultivation. Multnomah County has not adopted additional local restrictions beyond state law. Portland City Code 14B.70 requires home grows to be in a private, enclosed space not visible from public property, public rights-of-way, or adjacent properties - meaning plants in a front yard are prohibited, but a fenced back yard or indoor grow is compliant. Landlords may prohibit cultivation in rental leases (and most do). Smoking cannabis is prohibited in public places under ORS 475C.301 (Class B violation, $250). Commercial cultivation requires an OLCC (Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission) license regardless of size - growing more than 4 plants or any cultivation for sale without OLCC license is a Class C felony (up to 5 years, $125,000). HOAs can restrict or ban home cultivation in common-interest communities. Medical marijuana cardholders may grow more plants per OMMP rules (up to 6 mature plants for one patient at a residential site).
Exceeding 4-plant household limit (adult-use): Class B misdemeanor ORS 475C.301, up to $2,500 and/or 6 months. Visible-from-street grows (Portland): PCC 14B.70 violation $100 to $500. Commercial cultivation without OLCC license: Class C felony. Medical overage beyond OMMP: felony charges. Public consumption: Class B violation $250.
