I don't think the tax should increase to fund addiction programs. We can't afford to have taxes go higher.

I'm tired of the so called leaders of our state thinking they can increase taxes at their discretion. The revenue never goes where they say it going to.

Marcia Y

No more taxes

k san

I would vote for this as opposed to raising property taxes. At least everyone who makes these purchases will share the burden. No more property taxes!!!

Rick Allen

This is totally absurd, taxes are already way to high and what a horrible time to even try to do this to so many businesses and people hurting from the even more horrible shutdown!

Robert Northrup

I see a headline today, 70% increase in opioid deaths. Gee who would have guessed lowering penalties on drugs would cause this?

Donna Reed

I don't think those programs work or I would say yes.

Yes, the tax should increase.

I think it's a good idea because it will fund programs in which addicts can get the help they need.

Because everyone wants to tax Cigarettes why not booze as well. maybe we can save a few deaths and make money. Lets have a clean air tax too maybe a fat tax!

This type of tax will always be passed on to we consumers. Oregonians already pay an income tax. It's another heavy burden on Oregon consumers that will be passed on to us - the increased costs is nothing but a hidden tax.

Joe Ottlinger

It's a huge tax on everyone. No thanks

Andrew Shooks

This is a sneaky way to get sales tax in place and will add as much as 15% to the consumer's cost for retail purchases.

Steven Huillet

Just another way to ruin Oregon.

David Kline

It's a hand out to the rich who can afford to live here only 200 days out of the year.

Latterdaysaint

Vote no!

steven

And yes. Like Gabe.
