Final supporters
We, the undersigned supporters of all people working or participating in the Oregon cannabis industry, respectfully submit this open letter to the Oregon Liquor Control Commission to expand the purchase limits for home delivery orders to a maximum of up to two ounces, in the hope that we can further reduce the frequency of cannabis purchases – and in turn, help reduce the risk of coronavirus transmission for all frontline employees of cannabis businesses and the public at large.
This would be permitted under Oregon law; for example, while ORS 475B.337 only allows possession of one ounce of usable marijuana in a public place, it also allows possession of less than eight ounces of usable marijuana in a non-public place, such as one’s home. The latter limit would apply to home deliveries, and thus home delivery of, for example, two ounces of usable marijuana by a retail licensee, would be lawful, if the current rules were changed to accommodate it.
Because temporary rule changes to allow larger delivery quantities would be both lawful and would promote the goals of Governor Brown’s social distancing order, we humbly request that the Commission consider evaluating and adopting such temporary rule changes. Again, thank you for your service in this difficult time, and for your consideration of the foregoing.

Medical needs to be considered in this ruling. We need more meds. Conserve resources by increasing maximum purchases.
It makes sense and saves a lot of driving around for people during this time of physical distancing.
As far as I have to travel and with the virus it would be better if I didn't have to go as often. Increasing amount limits would help reduce exposure.
Increasing home delivery quantities advocates the governor's initiatives re: social distancing and further advocates the governor's position that MJ dispensaries are providing an essential services and advocates for small business owners of dispensaries across the state that are contributing hundreds of millions of dollars in sales tax to schools across Oregon. Therefore this proposal is a WIN-WIN-WIN-WIN!
Hello there. I am a store manager of a retail dispensary in Eugene, Oregon. I believe that the proposed idea of allowing the limit to be expanded to two ounces of cannabis for home deliveries makes sense given the pandemic crisis. Reducing the contact between frontline workers and customers should be of paramount importance to the OLCC, and actions should and can be taken by our state government to rearrange requirements when they would show a positive impact to those deemed as essential workers. Thank you. Thank you for your consideration.
Thankful for this.
Please consider revising the home delivery limits so that the cannabis community can continue to do its part to reduce the spread of COVID-19. A large part of our community uses this plant for medicinal reasons. When we can't stock up in a single purchase, we are forced to frequent dispensaries or order delivery more frequently. This increases contact and therefore transmission of COVID-19 in a highly sensitive population. Many consumers of cannabis (with or without an OMMP card) use it for ailments that also come with an immunodeficiency. Please help keep our community safe AND ensure the continued economic viability of one of our state's biggest producers of tax dollars. Our industry brought in over $84 million in March alone, equating roughly $17 million in tax dollars. We continue to provide Oregon with much-needed funds during a time of national economic stress and industry shutdowns. Please consider providing this much-needed change for our community.

Increasing the daily limit during this emergency will help reduce the frequency of contact between individuals. The temporary change can always be rescinded once the emergency changes, and comes at no cost to the state.
