We need to fight those too. Most such Federal taxes are violations of the Constitution falsely justified under the Commerce Clause. But even leaving your premise intact, there aren't a lot of folks getting into gun fights over cigarettes and alcohol, i.e., the prices are still within the reach of even homeless folks, taxes and all.


I'd bet the feds and state gov would tax pot even higher than cigarettes/alcohol. After all, those vices have been socially acceptable for eons. In the world I live and work in, people do steal and kill to afford things like alcohol and cigarettes.
