As one example, think about the difficulties of collecting sales tax on illegal drugs

Not many drug dealers are currently paying income taxes, so that's a wash.

I'm talking about enforcement, not revenue. If buyers can get drugs without paying sales tax, they will be able to get anything without sales tax.
