Seems to me that taxation was one of the main selling points of the pro legalization crowd.

Not federal taxation.

Perhaps these “retailers” could drop the corporate status and reorganize as nonprofits.

No profits would mean no taxes on profits.

But then, what would be the incentive to stay in business?

Hmmm... Interesting.

The IRS has been sending tax bills to marijuana traffickers for years and years-legality of the substance is irrelevant.

Yep - by the States that legalize it. Kind of ironic that the Feds, who thought they were being cute by not stopping the States from asserting their rights, might end up with egg on their faces over this. Whether one thinks it ought to be legal or not, I like the fact that States are making small inroads by telling the Feds to re-read the 10th...
