Bill Would Impose Taxes On Illegal Drugs

Check this out from LEX-18 News:
A bill before the General Assembly would require drug dealers to purchase tax stamps and require buyers to pay taxes on the illegal drugs they purchase or face tax evasion charges.

The measure would require drug dealers to buy a tax identification number from the Kentucky Department of Revenue. The department is barred by law from sharing the information with law enforcement.

The state would be able to seize property during drug arrests of the person had not paid taxes under the measure.
Apparently, Tennessee has a similar law on the books...

I'm simply stunned...

Speechless even...
