I was looking on the NORML site, and why don't we try to get the marijuana tax stamps? I know that some states don't print them, any other reasons why we cant get them.

yeah dude im down for that!

but i was thinking the same thing you were

the marijuana tax stamp is a farce!!! in order to get the stamp you had to have the marijuana. in order to grow the marijuana you had to have the stamp. NO ONE was ever issued a stamp as far as i know. they were printed and may be found but never issued.
this is all stoned memory so if i'm wrong.........

yeah, you are pretty much correct fdd2blk. i remember the history channel did a thing about marijuana, where it came from, and how it evolved to be illegal. it's a nice watch... i believe that the drug stamps was also modeled after the gun stamps, that i think was later ruled as unconstitutional. that may be wrong, someone buy the dvd set and report back, lawl =p

The tax stamp is not a farce, its just the chicken and the egg the govt devised in order to "regulate" pot that way they could start jailing ppl for possession. When the US was founded in 1776 George Washington, Thomas Jefforson, and John Adams all grew hemp for rope. marijuana has no constitutional laws regulating it. The govt is controlling our use of pot as much as possible. And once we let them win this battle, who knows whats next. Outlawing cigerettes completely? Maybe another prohibition? In order to help us? Why can't they realize people need to live indiviual lives? Anyway if you have any questions about the tax stamp check wikipedia.com it has some links at the bottom that will explain it all.

because some people think the only way to progress is to force thire way of life on to others it's called (man-o-fest destine) i can't spill, it's been this way since the start of the 20 cen. with the progressive era.

just thought i would chime in on the tax stamp. my sister is an economist for the massachusettes department of revenue and they have the marijuana tax stamp, as well as stamps for other illegal drugs. many drug cases begin as tax evasion cases, or when busted, dealers are also charged for not paying the taxes on the drugs and income. well, the state cant prosecute for tax evasion unless they create an avenue by which citizens can pay their taxes, so, viola, the pot/cocaine/heroin tax stamp. Just like the tax stamp for booze and tobacco. of course, no one ever buys the stamp for obvoius reasons.
