Impossible.
You can grow weed in your house...tobacco is a very different prospect, and because it demands more skill, it is easier to regulate.
It would be almost impossible to tax weed, simply because any fool can grow it surreptitiously...hence the nickname 'weed'.
Jesus loves you...Mexico is great, right?

Every state in the us that they legalized it now sees huge rewards in Tax revenue and each state had people growing it illegally before
In Colorado in 2014 they pulled in $76M in marijuana taxes26 states and the District of Columbia hadve legalized medical marijuana, while Alaska, Colorado, Oregon, Washington state and Washington, D.C., had legalized recreational use of the drug.

Re: Thousands of Marijuana Plants Burned in Pursat, Cambodia
Yes, Richard, but you are forgetting a few small things:
1. Murikans generally respect/fear the law
2. The tax collection system in Murika is highly-organised, efficient theft depends on it.
3. The likelihood of being caught is high, therefore they will pay for legal/taxable weed, which is not much cheaper (maybe more expensive than?) tobacco.
4. Cambodia has a very flexible tax/law enforcement interface, mien loi mien happiness.
My point being...one cannot compare the two wrt systemic enforcement/motivation to offenders

Marijuana is more of a medical thing, it has legitimate use towards certain medical issues and conditions. Otherwise, the recreational standpoint is just high people wants not to get in trouble.

BUT if the powers that be set up shops in major cites ( or sold the licenses to......) and grew it and than legally sold it, they could tax the shops easily.
same as taxing any shop .
Its a lot more ( average of $15-30/gram thru dispensaries, on the darknet about $25-40/gram) not sure what cigs are in the states as dont smoke that bad shit but sure they are cheaper. Nowadays its average to have a thc content of 20-35% ,,,strong stuff
Golden Pineapple – THCA 21% – Indica – 40% || Sativa – 60%
The dispensary i am a member of in Marin county Ca they even deliver!!

American drug abuse is at a new high. Marijuana is low priority right now for law enforcement. The heroin epidemic and meth epidemic are far out of control. Even a bigger problem is the pharmaceutical issues, most people are on so many different pills that they cannot keep track of their own medications.
I take zero medications, no pills, no illegal drugs. My own vice is beer. I drink a lot of it.
But beer is legal, so I'll have another before bed.
