Oregon Cannabis 2026: Legislative Forecast And Report

Oregon's 2026 legislative session began last week on February 2. The biennial "short session" will last but 35 days, and focus on budget shortfalls, transportation and housing—which is to say that cannabis is not a priority. That said, of the 300 or so introduced bills, there are four cannabis-related submissions. That's where I come in.

Each bill is linked below, with explanation and editorial.

House Bill 4139

This is the annual omnibus cannabis bill. My source tells me it collapsed a few weeks ago when marijuana and hemp folks couldn't agree on core items around intoxicating hemp products, or on how to implement the new federal hemp laws and rules. That's unfortunate, because time is of the essence in any short session.
