its gettin legalized there taxin it already!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It may be long but its important read it!!! the advocate (baton rouge La)


An Al Capone-style state law that is supposed to relieve drug dealers of their bling-buying booty is yielding little cash in Louisiana.

Just as Capone went to jail for tax evasion rather than his alleged activity in organized crime, Louisianaâ??s Marijuana and Controlled Dangerous Substances Tax is designed to punish drug dealers through their pocketbooks. The idea is to tax their gains without violating their constitutional right against self-incrimination.

The law requires dealers to buy a stamp, lick it and slap it on their drugs â?? or face a hefty fine when they are caught without it.

The tax was supposed to bankrupt dope peddlers. But it is generating little money.

State officials point to two problems â?? law enforcement agencies failing to pursue the law and drug dealers having little money to pay the fine once they are released from prison.

In the past five years, Louisiana:


Sold 292 drug tax stamps, generating $1,022.
Assessed about $48 million in stamp violations.
Collected about $126,000 for those violations.

Most of the people buying the stamps are thought to be collectors. Stamp collector websites sell drug tax stamps from various states.

â??At this point, itâ??s kind of a nuisance tax for us,â?� said Louisiana Revenue Secretary Cynthia Bridges.

For some states, the tax is generating millions of dollars, so much so that Tennessee is trying to reintroduce its tax stamp law after that stateâ??s Supreme Court found the previous one unconstitutional.

â??We (first) passed this about five years ago. They would take all the bling, all the gold and jewelry off the drug dealer,â?� said Tennessee state Rep. Charles Curtiss, a Democratic lawmaker who is trying to revive the tax stamp.

Kansas collected about $1 million a year the last two years from drug tax violations.

Freda Warfield, spokeswoman for the Kansas Department of Revenue, said someone within the agency is assigned to tracking drug tax assessments.

I think if you just made it legal you would be making at least 500% or more and that's not counting come Fat Tuesday when all thos revelers arrive.

In the beginning the stamps were never made, it was just another way to bust people and yes over tax. Later, much later to avoid a law suite they made just a few that's why they are collectable like unicorns. In the first place you are required to bring the illeagle substance to the court house so they can weight how much you have to buy the stamps. Wanna know how it went for the first guy to every try to buy the stamps. Not to good. He did not leave the court house.

In my states it seems that no one can produce these stamps except for narcotics officers and only when they are on TV telling drug dealers to buy them. When we call the court house about them we are instructed to bring your stuff with you. HA HA.

It was all intended to make money. If you have the stamp you payed big money .
BUT if you don't well guess what they can do ? They can do you like they did me. No stamps so let's see you get charged 4 times the stamp rate for illeagle substance. So next time have your stamps that you can't buy.
And don't think your going to take care of this in court. This is you and the IRS not the court. They don't need a court to levi fines agaisnt you.

Fight a bad law ? don't even try it's not a law. It's more of a REGULATION.
