With Oregon’s new recreational marijuana law taking effect Wednesday, The Oregonian has put together a package of stories detailing how it works. Truthfully, all of the details aren’t set yet, and pot consumers won’t be able to walk into a store and buy legal weed until sometime next year. But until then it breaks down like this: It’s legal for those over 21 to grow four plants at home, and to possess eight ounces and other marijuana products like brownies. “Away from home, they can stash up to an ounce of pot – roughly 28 joints – in their pocket, purse or briefcase.” The Oregonian offers gardening tips, suggestions on staying within the law, and speculation on how legal weed will affect crime.
