Budtenders vs. Bartenders: Oregon Couple Offers Open Weed Tent Rather Than Open Bar

Congratulations John & Whitney Alexander-Elledge, on both your wedding and your choice of providing your guests with some of Oregon’s finest marijuana strains at your recent wedding reception. Rather than offering a traditional open bar, where loved ones turn obnoxious (at least in my experience) and head down the highway a boozy mess. You opted to make the most of Oregon’s recent legalization of recreational marijuana – and provided your guests with a significantly safer option to the traditional libations. And for that, I say thanks.
When John Elledge and Whitney Alexander exchanged nuptials this summer on a Christmas tree farm, Oregon had just fully implemented Measure 91. The landmark implementation occurred on July 1, 2015. Which meant it was perfectly legal for the groom and his bride to possess up to 8 ounces of recreational marijuana for the pleasure of themselves and their guests.
“We were shocked by how much people loved it,” noted the room of his recent wedding reception. “I’m still getting a couple of texts a day from guests who enjoyed the weed tent.”
According to USA Today, this millennial trend may be cultivating a following in the great Northwest.
“The legalization of pot in Oregon has couples considering weed bars at their weddings.”
And while that may be upsetting for the few antidrug zealots that resided in the behavioral sinkhole of the Nixon era, Per Mark Pettinger with the Oregon Liquor Control Commission, weddings with receptions featuring free pot is perfectly fine.
“On private property where no liquor license is involved, it is legal.”
Budtenders vs. Bartenders
There is however just one important caveat: there can only be one ‘tender. Those caterers with state issued liquor licenses are prohibited from serving alcohol at any event where marijuana is also being offered to guests, “Caterers should be aware there can’t be bartenders and budtenders.”
