Tennessee’s “Crack Tax”

Posted by Eric at 7:02 am. Filed under: Randomly Interesting, Courts / Legal

This has to be up towards the top of the list of strangest laws I’ve heard about in recent years.

Basically, drug dealers are supposed to pay taxes on illegal drugs and alcohol.

They pay confidentially, and when they do, they get a stamp.

If they’re caught without the stamp, they’ll be prosecuted for not only selling drugs, but for not paying their taxes too.

The most amazing thing? It brought in nearly $2,000,000 last year.

  1. All drug laws are done like that pretty much.

    however -rarely- is the tax aspect enforced.
