118. It is already a law in 20 states to tax marijuana!

http://www.norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=6670">Marijuana Tax Stamp Laws And Penalties

In twenty US states, those who possess cannabis or other illegal drugs are legally required
to purchase and affix state-issued stamps onto his or her contraband. The total cost of the
tax is generally determined by the quantity of contraband possessed. Unlike typical criminal
statutes prohibiting the possession and sale of controlled substances, drug tax stamp laws
primarily assess financial penalties on the defendant for noncompliance. On occasion, criminal
sanctions may also be imposed.

Although nearly half of all US states have marijuana tax stamp laws on the books, few citizens
observe them.
