Fucking amazing
Deal in drugs and pay the tax
Drug Tax Stamp
The fact that dealing marijuana and controlled substances is illegal does not exempt it from taxation. Therefore drug dealers are required by law to purchase drug tax stamps.
The drug tax is due as soon as the dealer takes possession of the marijuana or controlled substance. Payment of the drug tax will purchase the drug tax stamps. Attach the stamp to the marijuana and/or controlled substance immediately after receiving the substance. The stamps are valid for 3 months. Drugs seized without stamps or having expired stamps may result in criminal or civil penalties which may include fines, seizure of property or liens against real estate.
A dealer is not required to give his/her name or address when purchasing stamps and the Department is prohibited from sharing any information relating to the purchase of drug tax stamps with law enforcement or anyone else.
Purchasing drug tax stamps does not make possession of drugs legal.

What the hell is that? Just another brain-dead idea on how to get more money and lock people away for more time?

This reminds me of something...
"17 bags of cocaine were found under a park bench. If they are yours, call the police to reclaim it."

Actually, drug tax stamps have been around since the '80's. Most states have since stopped selling them, however, as most of the buyers were stamp collectors.

What is the point in these, again? To prove that politicians have destroyed their brains listening to the idiot masses?

"Um ... I'm hear to pick up my illegal narcotics stamp."
"So you just came into possession of illegal narcotics?"
No ..."

It is also illegal in Kansas to hunt rabbits from a boat.
It is required by law in Wichita KS. to stop your car at the intersection of Douglas and Broadway, get out, and fire warning shots in the air with a shotgun before proceding through the intersection.
I lived in Wichita for 8 years, BTW, no one observes that law.

Maybe it's a back-door attempt to legalize..."Well, we've already got the stamps, so why not?"

Technically, and unless they changed the law since the 30s, even at the Federal level, Marijuana is not illegal if you have a stamp. The Federal government simply does not issue these.

So THAT'S how they got around that little "recreational drug use by individuals is so far outside the intended scope of Federal power it isn't even funny" problem.
