Legal

Legal, yes (in small amounts). Are you still likely to be arrested? Yes. In essence, nothing has changed. Cop catches you smoking a spliff, you're still likely to get arrested, especially being a gringo, because gringos are perceived as rich and can pay fines. The "rules" outlined in the US Consulate brief below only deal with possession. There are no "legal" rules for purchasing or selling; the whole purpose of passing the initiative in the first place was to set a national standard for personal possession and dealing to make it easier to prosecute small drug dealers that are viewed as poisoning Mexican youth and society.
Caveat emptor, amigo! But, most any taxi driver can take you to (or go secure for you) whatever you need. Or, you can risk being trampled to death by the drug dealers and pimps along Calle 13 most evenings.
Good articles; read and heed:

The Oregon Decriminalization Bill of 1973 abolished criminal penalties for possession of small amounts of marijuana. As a result, possession of up to an ounce of marijuana in Oregon today is a violation (not a crime), punishable only by a fine of $500 to $1000. There is one exception, however, which is: if possession of such an amount occurs in a public place within 1000 feet of a school attended by minors, the person committing the offense is guilty of a Class C misdemeanor instead. Possession of more than one ounce, no matter the proximity to a school, is a Class B felony. The actual use of marijuana in private, and being under the influence of marijuana, are not punishable offenses under Oregon law. However, public use, and also driving under the influence of marijuana, are punishable offenses."Decriminalized" is a better word than legal, but regardless of what word you use to describe it, chances are VERY good you're still gonna get dragged in front of El Jeffe if you get caught.
