Marijuana Tax Stamp
http://norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=6670
I'm sure this is old news for alot of you, but, apparently, some states require you to buy tax stamps when you sell marijuana. If you are caught with unstamped marijuana, the penalty is more harsh. My question is: have any of you ever bought marijuana with a state stamp on/with it? Have you ever paid the stamp tax yourself? I don't know who would pay for a tax that does not guarantee any sort of immunity...

Yep, it's also a way to get you on extra charges if you get caught.

Re: Marijuana Tax Stamp
As they've done with alcohol, tobacco, and firearms, the government realized they could levy absurd taxes on fun things as a more palatable alternative to outright bans. The tax stamps were a stopgap measure to begin prosecuting evil grass peddlers while the War On Drugs was spooling up.

Actually the government would've been fine with only enforcing the tax stamp if it hadnt been overturned in the supreme court.

Re: Marijuana Tax Stamp
Tax stamps are just another way to make bud illegal. No dealer's going out and buing these. The only people getting them are stamp collectors and whatnot.

And an excuse to impose even harsher penalties on weed users.

Re: Marijuana Tax Stamp
pretty much they said oh we will come up with this stamp so people can legally use pot. But in short term they pretty much said oh ya this is legal come down to the court house and get it, but when you go to get it they will pretty much put you in cuffs.
Its a fucked up self entrapment,

Re: Marijuana Tax Stamp
Those things are expensive. They cost about as much or more than the weed.

Completley false. Part of the Tax Stamp system was that you needed to have marijuana in your possession when you bought the stamp. But weed is illegal without the stamp. So its impossible to legally get a stamp. Timothy Leary got arressted for possesion(he took the hit for his daughter) but got off because he argued the tax stamp law was unconstitutional because it required you to self incriminate yourself. And that is against the 5th amendment.
They made the law because they were trying to outlaw it.

hence they wouldve been fine enforcing it because it made cannabis illegal

Re: Marijuana Tax Stamp
Drug Stamps are such a joke. IIRC one state even charged less for "stems only" stamps.
There are some sick stamps out there. I think it was like texas that has a skull and cross bones made of a joint and a needle dripping with H as the cross bones.
There's also a lot of fun to be had calling another state's gov office and asking for 50 kilos worth of stamps, and be sure to make it suspicious and awkward. Maybe get a friend to loudly ask you about "the shipment" while you are on the phone, then promptly yell at him(into the reciever) to fucking shut the fuck up while you are on the phone.

Re: Marijuana Tax Stamp
In order to get the stamp, you must have pot, but if you show them pot, they will arrest you. You cannot get the stamps. I believe it works the same for automatic weapons.

Re: Marijuana Tax Stamp
i think the tax stamp was how the goverment used to try and control drugs when they were trying to find a loop hole to make it ileagle. They started doing like in the early 1900 after there was a simaler tax stamp for automatic weopons. In the sixtys ken kesey or one of the acid guys (dont realy remember who) won a cort case that decided it was ileagle becouse you cant have the drug leagly with out the stamp but u cant have the stamp with out the drug. So for a day or 2 the drugs were leagle. This is whan or new and improved drug laws started to hit the books.

marijuana tax stamps were ruled unconstitutional by the supreme court in 1969.

Re: Marijuana Tax Stamp

Nah I didn't try it exactly like that.My friend and I had this "social experiment" two years ago where we went to a pay phone, and called the drug stamp place. I called up pretending like I thought that buying the stamps would make my 50 lbs of weed legal(also pretended that I "did my research"). The clerk said that it wasn't legal, and I told him this story about how I got 50lbs of pot thinking that it was legal, but it wasn't, and that I wanted a refund on the $2000 worth of drug stamps that I bought. He asked me what I was going to do with the weed and I like told him "WTF do you think im going to do with fucking 50lbs of weed. I'm gettin high nigga*".
They had cops at that pay phone right quick man. We watched them inspect this empty payphone booth with absoultly nothing in it(cept for a phone) for about 30 minutes before they left.
