Overview
Oregon’s 2026 short session (35 days) includes HB 4139, which would impose a 17% retail sales tax on industrial hemp-derived cannabinoid products—matching the marijuana tax rate. The bill also defines ‘container’ and ‘industrial hemp-derived cannabinoid product,’ requires individually packaged edibles capped at 10mg per piece, and mandates criminal background checks for hemp handlers. Oregon continues leading states in tightening hemp-cannabis regulatory alignment.
