Tribal IDs now acceptable to buy alcohol, marijuana SALEM — The Oregon Liquor Control Commission has officially ruled that an unexpired and unaltered identification card issued by a federally recognized Indian Tribe with a photo, name and date of birth can be used to purchase alcohol or marijuana items. The change came after a Tribal member made a request to Sen. Ted Ferrioli’s office and it was included in Senate Bill 1057, which provided the commission with more power to enforce state marijua- na laws. Ferrioli is a Republican from John Day and serves on the Legislative Commission on Indian Services. The change became official on Aug. 10 and increases the validity of Tribal government-issued identification.
