http://www.oregon.gov/CJC/GuidelinesGrid.pdf Hash & Concentrates
Hashish and concentrates are considered marijuana in Oregon and therefore have the same penalties. The only distinction is that 100 grams of hashish or concentrates are required for the offense to be considered a commercial drug offense whereas 150 grams of marijuana is required to be a commercial drug offense. An offense designated a commercial drug offense increases the associated penalties based on the offenders record. See: Oregon Rev. Stat. 475.005(16)
