Cocaine isn't taxed because the sale of cocaine is not legal. The use and possession of it is, but not the sale.

Was the law you cite changed at all by the comprehensive legislation we passed a few months ago?

No. It just confirmed the existing status with regard to cocaine.

As far as I understand it, if the bill is repealed, cocaine will still remain legal thanks to the Comprehensive Drug Reform Act of 2013.

Actually, Tyrion is correct. The Comprehensive Drug Reform Act does not mention cocaine, which means that if this bill is passed, cocaine will once again become illegal. I ask the Senate reject this bill outright.

Decriminalizing Cocaine was the right decision, and the Senate should abide in it.

I'd be fine with a higher rate, and that's something we can address with a subsequent amendment should this one pass.

I commend the Senate for voting down this bill. The next step forward is, of course, full legalization of cocaine.
