Portland, OR The Oregon Liquor Control Commission has conducted the first of its statewide minor decoy operations to determine if marijuana license retailers are complying with state laws and OLCC regulations ensuring minors arent able to enter the business to purchase marijuana products.

On December 19, 2017 OLCC marijuana inspectors visited 20 marijuana retailers in central Oregon, and all of the 20 businesses visited in Bend and La Pine passed a check for prohibiting sales to a minor volunteer.

That our licensed retailers in central Oregon scored 100 percent on refusal to sell marijuana to a minor is a sign that this segment of our regulated industry understands the importance of compliance, said Steve Marks, Executive Director of the OLCC. As we continue these checks I hope that these results will be reflected across the state.

Sale of marijuana products to anyone under the age of 21 is a violation that for a first offense could result in a 10 to 30 day license suspension, or a fine of $1650, depending on whether or not the sale is intentional. Failure by a marijuana licensee, or its employee, to check a customers identification before the attempted purchase of a marijuana product is a violation that could result in a seven (7) day license suspension or a fine more than $1100.

During the sales checks, a minor volunteer attempts to enter a licensed marijuana retailer and/or purchase marijuana products from a licensed business to see if staff are checking IDs correctly and refusing entry to anyone under 21. Commission inspectors supervise the minor volunteers. The volunteers carry their own legal ID that identifies them as under 21 and do not disguise their age or lie to encourage the sale of marijuana.

The Oregon Driver license for a minor carries a red border around the picture with the words Minor Until followed by the date of his/her 21st birthday.

The OLCC tests licensed marijuana businesses throughout the year, with each licensed retailer receiving a minimum of one visit per year. The OLCC offers a free training course on how to check IDs and identify false identification.

This is part of our stepped up compliance and enforcement activity, said Marks. Were working to make sure that all segments of our regulated market are living up to the requirements of their license, and the expectations Oregonians have that they will act responsibly and follow the law.

What kind of idiot minor wouldn't have a friend that's of age that would be willing to make the purchase for them?

I bought plenty of weed as a minor, every where you go there is at least 2 people that can get you weed. It was easier to get than beer and cigs.

It's a stupid law and it's stupid that they wasted money on these stings. If they can't get it from stores they'll just get it from their older friends, what's the point of this?

Not surprising. Most, if not all, of the recreational shops I went to in WA had a guy standing by the door to check IDs. You couldn't even approach the counters or look around before having it checked.

Is it weird that I kind of enjoy denying alcohol sales to people without ID's? They throw a shit fit about it, but I don't give a fuck. No ID, no sale. Period. Leaves my judgment of "looks over 35" out of it. I'm not risking the $500+ personal fine because your ass is too lazy to get your ID out of the car.

You're right

If I wasn't all messed up right now, lmao, I would pull up data about how often Oregon sells alcohol to a minor, and I 100% can say that it's less than 100% like it it's been with weed

The goal of a sting isn't whether or not individual kids get it as it is about making sure stores are doing as much as possible to keep children from using. Ofc you can always get someone older to buy the weed but that route is at least a bit less viable then stores not checking ID's and letting anyone purchase.

It's the same with me. I don't get IDed at the liquor store, but always get IDed when buying from dispensaries

Is 100% an A+ meaning they followed the law or more like a 0% and means theyre failing to follow the law?
