marijuana won't be legal any time soon... alcohol and tobacco is legal because it can be taxed. You can't EASILY brew your own alcohol... especially hard liquor. You can't easily grow your own tobacco either. tobacco plants need so many nutrients that it almost destroys the soil it is grown in. For these things you have to go to a supplier, which means the government can easily tax alcohol and tobacco.
marijuana is a different story. it is so easily grown, you dont even need soil. Nor natural sunlight for that matter. If it were legalized in any form it would make seeds and such more available, meaning people could grow it themselves, totally bypassing any plus for the government to legalize it. Yes of course not everyone is going to grow it... but a lot of the smokers out there have had experience growing themselves... so I'm sure the non-growing market would be small and not as profitable as people would think.
many bills have been written, none have passed. This will be no different.
