Possibly. Delivery of a controlled substance can be treated as a misdemeanor under both ORS 475.860 and under the discretion of the court under ORS 161.705. It is a two-step process where the attorney must move to have the felony conviction reduced to a misdemeanor conviction per ORS 161.705(1)(d). Then the misdemeanor conviction can be expunged, assuming everything goes well.
