Oregon continues its early roll out of recreational marijuana sales next month by allowing people to buy pot-infused edibles and extracts.

Since October, anyone 21 and older can buy a limited amount of marijuana flowers, starter plants and seeds.

Starting June 2, marijuana-infused edibles, extracts and non-psychoactive topical products join the list. The Legislature earlier this year approved the expanded sales.

The Oregon Health Authority this week issued a bulletin detailing what's allowed:

Retail customers can buy one low-dose marijuana infused edible per day at medical marijuana dispensaries that sell to recreational customers. "Low dose" means an edible with no more than 15 milligrams of THC.

They also can buy:

-- Non-psychoactive marijuana-based topical products, like lotions and balms, that contain no more than 6 percent of THC.

-- One pre-filled catridge or container of marijuana extract per day. This type of product is typically consumed using a portable vaporizer device. The container may not contain more than 1,000 milligrams of THC.

Gov. Kate Brown signed Senate Bill 1511, the law allowing the expanded recreational sales, on March 29.

A separate state law passed earlier this year removed the original 2-year residency requirement for recreational marijuana licensees. The Oregon Liquor Control Commission will begin issuing licenses under this law starting June 2.

Agency officials said Wednesday that residency would no longer be a factor for people who own a marijuana company under proposed rules the commission will take up next month.
