How to read the Oregon numbers
- What does Oregon count as cannabis sales?
- The Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission publishes sales entered in its Metrc tracking system by OLCC-licensed retailers. The chart combines in-store and home-delivery sales. Adult-use comes from the source’s Consumer category. Medical comes from the Patient category, which covers purchases made by Oregon Medical Marijuana Program patients at those licensed retailers.
- Which months are available?
- The explorer covers January 2024 through October 2026. OLCC’s data was updated November 2, 2026. The year-over-year comparison uses matching calendar months and excludes the partial November entry. The table rounds to whole dollars, and the CSV retains cents.
- What does the Multnomah County view cover?
- It uses records reported under Multnomah County in the OLCC dataset. The Oregon view includes that county. The tax estimate applies to purchases inside Portland city limits.
- How is Portland checkout tax calculated?
- Multiply the adult-use subtotal by 1.20 to estimate the price after marijuana taxes. An eligible medical purchase stays at the pre-tax subtotal when the buyer provides the required proof.
