mj tax stamps arent available in every state

also our country should definitly shift tax funding from the unwinable drug war into the more important terror war

[Anubis10012007]

No. That will only let them know that you probably smoke weed.

You cannot tax something that is deemed illegal. Apparently, the reason why weed is illegal is because the government can't tax it.

Obviously, they can and they want to. They will get the dealers on not paying taxes too, which will increase jail time.

california (a major grower) is one of the few states who has no marij. tax stamp law yet.

Also petitions do help... the more politicians r bugged by polls, the greater chance for influencial pursuation

This post is correct. You can't tax something that's illegal. These are the guys that want to pay one billion to California. It was the news article in the thread where you incorrectly said that prostitution was legal in Vegas. They are not trying to tax marijuana........................:wtf::wtf::wtf::w tf:. They're trying to solve California's budget problem with money made off of Marijuana sales.

R, U really this ignorant?

or are U just trying to to anger me?

thanks for being of no value to anyones information with your obvious lies and disrespectful bias of clear truth

your parents must be as proud of u as i am

[CYRAX]

In my opinion Gravity has been doing the best research, Yeah you can't tax illegal products but in some cases marijuana isn't illegal..

[cannabisis4for20]

Ok, that's fair. But what he was saying is that there are these tax laws that have been on the books for marijuana, and that marijuana can be taxed. The ONLY marijuana that can be taxed is medical.

Check the residue in your pipe. I have a feeling something else has been in there.

quote from norml link below

"In twenty US states, those who possess cannabis or other illegal drugs are legally required to purchase and affix state-issued stamps onto his or her contraband"

Marijuana Tax Stamp Laws And Penalties - NORML (http://www.norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=6670)

now as U can see, I am right.

Now, its safe to say you have earned rep as typing whatever it is you believe without even checking the laws. you are misguiding people. thanks for decieving our readers!

Right, but since medical MJ is taxed, they can apply the same taxes for the public if it became legal... hmm.. :stoned:

be an adult by not arguing when U have clearly been proved a liar

[cannabisis4for20]

These Marijuana tax stamp laws may be on the books in those states but the law is just as the name says it is a Marijuana tax STAMP. You have to get the stamp and then get the Marijuana and pay taxes on the marijuana.

[cannabisis4for20]

So, for instance, if you take a state that has one of these stamp tax laws on the books you won't be able to get a stamp if as long as it remains illegal in that state. I was wrong when I said that those laws weren't on the books, they were. But you can not get a stamp as long as Marijuana stays illegal, and if you don't get the stamp to pay the taxes you can't have the weed legally, just because you can be charged with tax evasion doesn't mean that you can get the taxed marijuana that these laws were designed for.

I have a great net connection and the site doesn't even load, lol. If anything takes longer then 10-20 secs I just close it.

What impact could this make at most, is that even an official website that is looked at by authority?

[stinkyattic]

Gravity, lose the tone or you'll be outta here. There's no need to stoop to name-calling.

[Psycho4Bud]

Get busted in Minnisota sometime with quantity.......one of your charges, and the most harsh, will be tax evasion. They use this as a means to make a harsher sentence on growers and dealers.

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

[qdavid]

All this bickering does nothing but confuse the issue. I just signed the thing. Please, just shut-up and do it.

[stinkyattic]

All right, I'd like to chime in here.
As a grower who considers herself a law-abiding citizen in a country with a couple REALLY stupid laws, I would LOVE to be able to decrease the number of laws I'd be breaking by cultivating. The small amount of product that I sell, cheap, to legitimate med users- I'd like to be able to track that as income along with the income from my legitimate job, and pay taxes on it, and have it counted towards my total worth when it comes time to apply for my next mortgage or car loan.
It totally sucks to be marginalized in other ways.

Oh- And that's how they got Capone....

[Storm Crow]

Have you ever noticed how often little kids fight? If those two keep it up, maybe someone should look into just how old they are? Adults know how to make a point, and still remain civil. Just a suggestion.;)- Granny :hippy:

You can't get a stamp. Marijuana is illegal and you won't be able to get a stamp as long as it stays that way. Just because you can be charged with tax evasion doesn't mean you can get a stamp to bypass it. When you get your stamp I'll admit I was wrong.

[angry nomad]

In my opinion Gravity has been doing the best research, Yeah you can't tax illegal products but in some cases marijuana isn't illegal..

You can tax illegal products. That is what marihuana tax stamps are. This, of course is ridiculous, and constitutes double jeopardy, which is unconstitutional.

[Th3 sand m4n]

The reason the goverment made tax stamps is because it was the only way they could legally make marijuana illegal. The idea came from baning the sale of automatic tommy guns by only making a limited amount of stamps. Normls is wrong when they say the reason for the tax is so they can charge you with tax evasion. The history channel has an entire series called hooked: Illegal drugs and how they got that way, Marijuana where they explained this and how anslinger used this to ban marijuana

[Th3 sand m4n]

i am surprised by the number of ignorant responses on this thread :madnoel:

[andyspof]

the sixteenth amendment to the us constitution states that congress has the power to both impose and accept tax money, regardless of the source.

the legality of your income or purchase isn't a factor in taxes, they don't care were your spending or making your money as long as you pay taxes. i thought this was common knowledge.

Um... the "war on terror" is an unwinnable war, if you didn't know. Plus, they are using it to their advantage to take more of our rights away. Did you know this, or do you watch the news too much? The War on Terror is a manufactured war, and so is the enemy. We fund terrorism, and we have no intention of killing Osama Bin Laden. We should definitely stop all wars that are unwinnable, and unjust. In otherwords, that would mean the war on drugs and the "war on terror."

I thought that the stamp taxes were ruled unconstitutional in Timothy Leary's court case.
