PORTLAND, OR (KPTV) -
In one of the most hotly debated measures on the ballot in Oregon, voters made a decision on the legalization of marijuana.
Measure 91 has passed, according to Fox 12 political analyst Tim Hibbitts.
Oregonians voted down a similar measure two years ago. However, since that time, voters approved legalizing marijuana in Washington and Colorado.
Measure 91 calls for the legalization of marijuana in Oregon by July 1.
The passage of Measure 91 means adults over 21 years old will be able to possess up to 8 ounces of marijuana at home, according to the Oregon Voter's Guide, but only one ounce away from home.
A household can grow up to four marijuana plants.
The use of marijuana will be prohibited while driving on a public road or while in a public place.
The OLCC will tax and regulate sales of marijuana, with revenue slated to go toward schools, drug treatment and police agencies.
