A 60- year old man recovering from cancer who uses marijuana is busted for “a few baby-sized plants and a small amount of commercial weed.” Before the case is even heard, the Tennessee Tax man comes and charges him for non-payment of the marijuana tax, seizing all cash, cars, and putting a lien on the house.
Yep. This is America.
Hire a lawyer to fight it? With what?
This story is developing at the blog of a relative.
Say Uncle has been all over this so-called tax, which is really another way to pile on charges and seize assets (note that 75% of the “tax” goes to the law enforcement agency that made the bust).
