I would strut down there in style and pay cash gladly should there be no fear of getting my door busted down shortly after paying taxes on my illicit substance. If they won't let me have the right to pursue my own brand of happiness as a free adult in this nation then why should I pay some dumb ass tax in order to help them out?
I would like to pay my taxes like a good little citizen; here is some of my money, please put me in jail now. :thumbsup:

and as an aside, I would like a stamp from every state now to stick in my scrap book. Nebraska's stamp is badass!
Creating the Marijuana Tax Act in 1937 was the government's first attempt a blocking marijuana from it's potential users by making it so the only way you could posses or sell marijuana, is by purchasing a tax stamp. The catch was that the government wouldn't sell any stamps, in affect making the possession of marijuana illegal.
