Oregon became the third U.S. state on Thursday to allow the sale of marijuana for recreational use.
Oregon, along with Washington and Colorado, will now allow the sale of the drug, though it remains illegal under U.S. federal law. Residents in Oregon aged 21 years and older can now buy up to a quarter-ounce of dried flowers at the roughy 200 medical-use marijuana dispensaries around the state. They can also have up to one ounce of marijuana outside their homes, eight ounces of marijuana inside their homes and four marijuana plants.
The Portland Police Bureau put together a visual guide showing how much marijuana Oregonians can carry on them.
“You can get all the best strains from Oregon, which can make this into a top tourist spot,” said Sue Vorenberg, a former cannabis industry worker and editor of the Cannabis Daily Record, according to Reuters.
Oregon voted last year to approve marijuana use and possession, with it becoming legal to possess and grow in July. In January, the state will likely start accepting applications for retail marijuana businesses. Other states have legalization on the ballot this year, and in 2016.
Twenty-three states currently allow marijuana use for medical purposes.
