Action Center

The biggest threat to the cannabis industry is the cumulative burden of increased taxes and regulations.

No one person can face such obstacles alone. CIAO provides the support and avenue to change policy. 

Legislators respond best to the people they represent. Any legislator will tell you he or she would rather hear from a constituent than anyone else. Members of the Oregon State Legislature depend on CIAO members like you to tell them how proposed legislation or regulations will affect the cannabis industry, your district and especially your business.
