108. If you're going to ask a question and then answer it yourself, it's not a conversation.
I said I thought taxes on some things were reasonable, didn't I? And guess what- there are already taxes on liquor and beer. Hell, I think pot should be legal, regulated, AND taxed. Funny, too, how smokers will bitch and moan about how they're oppressed because they have to go outside to smoke (witness every single thread ever posted by the OP) and compare it to the drug war, but I have yet to come across a pot smoker who wouldn't consider it a huge improvement to be able to buy pot- taxed by the state- at the 7/11 and smoke it on the sidewalk.

Same situation causes cigarette smokers to throw a fit.

As for your "don't seem to be able to find much on that"; I'm not sure which state you're in, but I have to wonder if you looked very hard. In California, for instance, this is an excellent program and it was created and funded entirely through cigarette taxes:
