Kansas Tax Stamp for Marijuana

If you sell marijuana (or any illegal drug) you still have to pay taxes on it and it's an extra crime if you don't.

That's right, not only is it illegal to possess Marijuana and sell Marijuana, it's also illegal to sell it without paying taxes on it.  You may need to read that last sentence one more time.

If you don't want to get caught without a tax stamp for your marijuana, you must go to the Kansas Department of Revenue and pay for a tax stamp.  This drug tax stamp must be affixed to the packaged marijuana signifying that the taxes on that particular package have been paid.  Just because selling drugs is illegal doesn't mean that the state doesn't want their fair share.  You may even need more then one marijuana tax stamp depending on the amount of marijuana you plan on possessing or distributing.

In the event you are found to have enough marijuana to be charged with intent to distribute, prosecutors almost always tack on the extra charge of no tax stamp.  Absurd? Probably.  Ridiculous? Absolutely.

If you've found yourself without a tax stamp and, primarily, charged with possession of an illegal substance in Manhattan, KS or Junction City, KS, contact a knowledgeable attorney in the area to review your case.
