But... how do you collect it?

NewsChannel 5 reports that there is a bill in the Tennessee General Assembly to tax drug sales.. the illegal kind of drugs.

Can you image the street deal?

Dealer: OK.. that will be $20 plus tax.. bringing the total to $22.
User: What?
Dearler: Yeah - since that bill passed, we're being taxed. I've got to send sales tax revenue to the state. They haven't prosecuted me for selling drugs but they will come after if if I don't send in my sales tax reports and check.
User: That's farked up! Here's the $22.
Dealer: Many thanks. Pleasure doing business with you; come again soon!

How the heck are they going to enforce this? Like drug dealers are willingly going to send in the tax reports and such.

Then again, this is the same body that brought you the Roadkill Bill a few years ago (where it is now legal if you hit a deer, you can take it home with you for dinner).

Jeff Foxworthy: "If your idea of fast food is hitting a deer at 65 mph, you might be a redneck."
