No, it shouldn't. Right now the massive risk associated with growing drives up prices. Once that risk is gone, prices will fall (if it were untaxed). Taxes should then be added to a point where supply/demand reaches an equilibrium and therefore revenue is maximized. And, I would suspect, this will still be less than it is now. Taxes shouldn't be added willy nilly. They should be carefully calculated to maximize revenue, taking into account the market's response to pricing.
