Oregon Cannabis Cafes Measure Gains Momentum
PORTLAND, Ore. — A renewed effort to bring cannabis cafes to Oregon is gaining momentum, with advocates hoping to create Amsterdam-style marijuana lounges where adults can legally consume cannabis in social settings. Spearheaded by the Oregon Cannabis Cafe Coalition, the campaign recently reached a major milestone by collecting nearly 1,500 signatures—well above the 1,000 required to move their initiative forward.
The initiative was first submitted in February, and with the threshold of initial signatures surpassed, the next step is official signature verification by the Oregon Elections Division. If all signatures are confirmed valid, the state will begin the ballot titling process, allowing the measure to appear before voters in the 2026 election cycle.
Coalition founder and chief petitioner Justyce Seith is optimistic about the potential for cannabis cafes to make a meaningful impact on both social culture and the state's struggling cannabis economy. In a statement to KOIN 6 News, Seith said she will soon travel to Salem to submit the collected signatures for review.
