It's already all over the place. Apparently it has been maipulated to be stronger than it was 30 or 40 years ago and is often laced with more dangerous substances. It shouldn't be anymore difficult to control than alcohol and would legalization or decrimalization would cut the court, jail and crime rates.
The biggest and best funded opponetes are the organized crime syndicates. Illegal drugs sales fund terrorism and the massive drug cartels. Keeping pot illegal does for them what prohibition in the US did for them (when alcohol was made illegal). It's a huge money maker for them because many pot smokers (or whatever they are doing with it these days) may not use other substances, but it also provides a springboard or contact point to lure people into the use of more addictive, damaging and costly drugs. It fuels a vast, violent world wide network. That harsher the laws get, the stronger and more violent the gangs and mafias get. They will fight legalization with everything they have, did you know they employ lobbyists? To fight legalization or decrimalization?

I think this been working out pretty well in my state. Tourism is our biggest industry and the MM shops are quite the popular picture place for visitors. LOL
A lot of shop space has been rented out, signs made, advertising - it's quite the economic boom. I'm getting a real kick out of it. I don't have a licence and no plans to get one although given my current state of celebacy it might not be a bad idea....
