KY Adds New Joint Tax

Hey thatÂ’s one way to balance the budget.

Courier Journal :But careful readers of the final state budget bill can find a new tax on Page 624: 25 cents on each package of cigarette rolling papers. A typical pack of 32 papers costs $1.49 now.
This tax is about 0.78128 cents per doobie. Kentuckians are expected to burn about 959963 doobies this year resulting in an additional 750,000 bucks for the state. What? You didn’t think those were actually for cigarettes did you? Just think how much they earn by taxing the stuff people put in “cigarette” papers. Bong makers efforts to lobby for an even greater tax failed to make the final budget. Yes I know but it's funnier the way it is just multiply by 100

1 Maybe it's time we put those tobacco farmers to work growing alcohol. We need the fuel.

3 Okay, my mind is in the gutter early this morning. I saw "KY" and immediately thought they were going to tax KY jelly. I won't go into what I thought you meant by "joint".
