Let this be a lesson to those who think that the “solution” to the drug war is to “legalize it” AND “tax the hell out of it”. It just moves the DEA under the ATF.
And gee, wouldn't that be a horror? I mean, taxing users instead of the minor inconveniences we have today, like gang warfare, funding for terrorists, $50 billion in law enforcement spending per year, and endless construction of prisons to incarcerate addicts. That's a much better solution than forcing the poor, beleaguered users to pony up a few hundred bucks a year.
