Last October, Oregon officially legalized the sale of recreational cannabis after a successful 56 percent "yes" vote on Measure 91.
However, the law allowed counties and cities to opt out of legalization. And some have: 87 cities and 19 counties chose not to legalize.
A year after sales began, we decided to map out the areas of Oregon still living under prohibition. And, as a service to all those who find themselves in one, the nearest dispensaries from those red zones.

A. Scappoose; B. Forest Grove; C. Cornelius; D. Fairview;
