Flora shipping policy
Flora Distro does not currently ship to Oregon. We apologize for the inconvenience. This company policy is separate from the legal posture summarized below.
Current state posture
Intoxicating hemp effectively banned at general retail: HB3000 (2021)/ORS475C prohibits artificially-derived cannabinoids (~all d8), high-THCA flower dispensary-only via OLCC. Possession not criminalized; retail sale outside licensed system prohibited.
Recent movement
No material change; ban in effect since HB3000 + OLCC rules.
Litigation and court posture
None active/current on the ban.

Next date to watch
Federal cap 11/12 largely confirmatory; OR already bans at general retail.
Federal change scheduled for November 12, 2026
State rules are only one layer. Unless Congress changes the enacted provision, Section 781 changes the federal hemp definition to total THC—Delta-9 THC plus 0.877 times THCA—and adds a 0.4 milligram total-THC-per-container cap beginning November 12, 2026. That federal change is separate from the Oregon posture above.
