Notes of Decisions
When read with ORS 161.105, this section does not clearly indicate legislative intent to dispense with mental state requirement as mental state pertains to possession of methamphetamine because, to be liable under this section, person must act with knowledge or intent as to possession of methamphetamine, which is sole conduct that this section addresses. State v. Harper, 296 Or App 125, 436 P3d 44 (2019)
