Yes, Delta 9 THC is legal in Oregon under state law, provided products comply with Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission (OLCC) regulations. Hemp-derived Delta 9 THC (≤0.3% by dry weight) is permitted, while cannabis-derived Delta 9 THC remains regulated under the OLCC’s adult-use program. Local jurisdictions may impose additional restrictions, and 2026 compliance shifts require stricter testing for potency and contaminants.
