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.

Statutes that bite

Citation	Subject
ORS 475C	Cannabis Regulation Act — primary statute
OAR 845-025-1230	Licensed premises restrictions and requirements — applies across all licence types
OAR 845-025-2800	Retailer privileges and prohibitions — what may be sold, to whom, and purchase limits
OAR 845-025-1410	Recreational marijuana retailer security requirements
OAR 845-025-7500	Cannabis Tracking System (CTS/METRC) seed-to-sale reporting
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+ adult-use; an 18+ registry identification cardholder may be sold to ONLY by a retailer registered under ORS 475C.149 (ORS 475C.213 exception); for an under-18 cardholder the custodial parent or legal guardian is the designated primary caregiver and controls the acquisition (ORS 475C.783(3)). 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 CannAgent is built toward 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

Coverage here — honestly

Oregon coverage is written against OLCC rules: the bulletins, the rec and medical retention rules, the seven per-category daily purchase limits, and the OMMP exemption. We keep it current as the OLCC moves, and where something isn’t built for OR yet we say so before you sign.
