they still issue tax stamps in several states. they do in texas. i know they did in arizona at one point in time (not sure if they still do). it was stated though that you had to have the weed with you to apply for the tax stamp. timothy leary took it to the supreme court and part of it was deemed to violate the 5th ammendment because you had to have the marijuana on you to get the stamp. so they wrote the controlled substances act.

now they just use the stamp to throw more charges on you should you get busted selling.
