A power to tax sales of a substance encompasses a power to prohibit the sale of the untaxed substance. Contraband is subject to seizure and destruction.

So how does that relate to the WOsD? They are NOT trying to TAX it. That fiction went out the window when the Supremes struck down the 1937 law because they noticed that, even though it was touted as a revenue-raising measure, NO TAX STAMPS WERE EVER ISSUED and none were INTENDED to be issued. You're knocking down another strawman.

OMG, what twisted logic that is. Kinda like what the meaning of "is" is, huh? You and Bill Clinton would get along famously.

You really do have a problem with word meanings, don't ya Roscoe?
