Are they smoking crack downtown?

Drug dealers can pay the taxes without getting busted. Metro's vice squad confiscated 26 million dollars of cocaine last year. None of it could be taxed. 

But under a new law, the state plans to make drug dealers pay.  And it will give those drug dealers a way to pay before they even get busted.
 
Loren Chumley, Revenue Commissioner says, "It's a way for us to get the fruits of the crime to pay to fight the crime."

The taxation of unauthorized substances - known on the streets as the crack tax, will cost the state at least a million dollars to put in place.  It is modeled after a 1999 North Carolina law that has netted that state six million dollars so far.

The system will take confidentiality into consideration.  A drug user would be able to walk into the state office building and pay the taxes on their drugs - without being arrested.
