>there can be no interstate market in a substance that is illegal to trade.
There is in fact an interstate market in many substances that are illegal to trade because laws against things do not make those things fail to exist.
- PaulDavisThe1st 6mo agoNo market that the federal government can recognize, tax or regulate
- lmm 6mo agoIllegal commerce is still subject to taxation and regulation, famously so in the case of Al Capone.
- IAmBroom 6mo agoLegally subject to. Practically, untaxed.
- zdragnar 6mo agoBy making it illegal, it has already been regulated. The IRS also requires reporting and taxing all income, even that which was unlawfully gained.
