It is declared to be the intent of this chapter to levy this tax upon illegal drugs in an effort to compensate for the lost revenue from a section of the economy that has not heretofore borne its fair share of the tax burden. This chapter is not intended to inculpate anyone or otherwise cause any individual to incriminate himself or herself in violation of that person's constitutional rights.
