First, they aren't going to legalize it. Ever. They are going to regulate it, to tax it, and to arrest people for violating their petty and senseless bureaucratic decrees. In Colorado, for example, over six plants and under thirty is a fine of up to $100,000 and a couple years in jail. No more than three plants can be "mature" at any given time. What is the purpose of this, one may wonder? Well, it keeps the price artificially high, for one, it is about control, for two, and for three, some half-retard paper pusher who doesn't know a damn thing about botany or growing marijuana had a bright-good-idea. And with that, many a people are fined, their property stolen, or their homes/businesses raided to count plants. On top of all that, they enact draconian per se DUI laws with absurdly low thresholds for being considered intoxicated. Why? Because it is a business. Slave labor is hard to come by, otherwise.
If cannabis were ever truly legalized, there would be more than enough profit for private businessmen to wish to endeavor in it. The sky is the limit with regards to feminized seeds, gourmet foods, and purified extracts. The infinite capacity to manipulate strains for various ailments etc. would always create demand. And as well, there are many aspects such as delivery services, rolling services, smoking supplies, and more. Even educational seminars to teach the average person the basics of horticulture and how to grow sinsemilla. Bud doctors who would come for a fee to diagnose and treat, if possible, plants that were big enough to warrant the expense. T-shirts and apparel, limo services, bus tours, smoking cafes, and more.
But alas, they are fascists. They will imprison the sick, destroy or flat out steal the property of honest men, and brag about it. They will take pictures of their crimes and the newspapers will post the stories slanted positively. The people will cheer. What's even worse, possibly, is that somehow the brain-dead sheep will still insultingly label this capitalism and rally against it. And of course, worthless ticks of society will continue to earn well above 200% the median income, to act criminally and violate rights. And don't get me started on the SCOTUS, the worthless fucks.
