While I do agree that the government probably would tax it probably would not be comparable to cigarettes. Think about it, the government taxes when they can get a lot of money or when they have to. The gov't can get tons of $$ off cigarettes because there is both huge demand AND health benefits to be gained by dissuading people from smoking.

With marijuana on the other hand, there are far less people interested or participating in smoking, therefor harder to tax for high dollar. Second, the health risks are next to zilch for MJ so that issue is not such a big deal either. Just food for thought, it might be more of a niche drug that is barely taxed if at all.
