Who regulates cannabis retail in Oregon?

Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission (OLCC) is the state cannabis regulator for Oregon. Official site: https://www.oregon.gov/olcc/marijuana.

What seed-to-sale track-and-trace system does Oregon use?

Oregon uses METRC (Franwell) for seed-to-sale traceability — the de-facto standard across most regulated states. CannAgent maps its inventory and transfer events to METRC's required fields.

Is CannAgent available for Oregon dispensaries?

Statutes that bite

Citation	Subject
ORS 475C	Cannabis Regulation Act — primary statute
OAR 845-025-1230	Recreational marijuana retailer privileges + duties
OAR 845-025-1410	Recreational marijuana retailer security requirements

ORS 475C.674	Imposition of 17% state retail tax on marijuana items

Tax stack

Excise

Producer/processor pricing already includes upstream cost — no separate excise at retail.

Sales / Use

Oregon has no general sales tax. 17% state cannabis tax applied at retail.

Local option

Up to 3% local option add-on — voter-approved per municipality. Rates come from our per-jurisdiction table and are confirmed with you at onboarding; a locality we don’t have on file requires explicit confirmation, never a silent default.

Compliance topics surfaced in-platform

Age 21+ ID verification with audit trail (matches OAR 845-025-1230 retention)
Per-category, per-day purchase limits — OAR 845-025-2800 enforces 7 distinct daily counters, not one combined cap: 2 oz usable flower, 10 g extracts/concentrates, 10 g inhalable, 16 oz solid edible, 72 fl oz liquid, 4 immature plants, 10 seeds
METRC tag → POS line item handoff with manifest reconciliation
Packaging + labeling rule prompts at receiving (OAR 845-025-7000 series)
Daily 17% state cannabis tax remit summary (Oregon DOR-shaped)
Inventory adjustment categories aligned to OLCC reason-codes

What ships on day-1 for OR

17% state cannabis tax + the ≤3% local option from our per-jurisdiction table, confirmed with you at onboarding — an unlisted locality requires explicit confirmation (the register never silently defaults to state-only)
OMMP medical exemption — a valid OMMP cardholder zeroes the entire cannabis-tax stack (17% state + up to 3% local) at the register; the exemption is applied automatically, not as a manager override
Per-category daily purchase-limit counters (OAR 845-025-2800) — flower, extracts/concentrates, inhalables, solid edibles, liquids, immature plants, and seeds each tracked against their own daily cap
METRC-shaped inventory + sale receipt mirror
OLCC retention defaults pre-set for transactions, surveillance, and employee records
Manager write-up assistant configurable to OR labor + OLCC rule taxonomy

We serve here — honestly

We don’t operate stores in Oregon. We do read OLCC bulletins and the rec/medical retention rules, and we’ve built OR support against the same compliance discipline we use in WA. If you’re an OR operator who wants a partner who treats OLCC with the same weight as WSLCB, we’d like to talk.
