Because the government would have to acknowledge their "war on drugs" didn't work.

Good idea except when you make one thing legal,the cartel just moves to the next illegal thing. It is the trade in illegal stuff that is the money, not Just drugs.
So the drug cartel would just traffic in child soldiers or animal snuff films or exotic beetles.
But I think marijuana should have remained legal and not become illegal. It is less of a threat to health and welfare than any cigarette or liquor.
That said, even if it were legal, I wouldn't bother because I like living sober and natural. I did enough drugs as a young adult to hold me for a lifetime. I wasted a good 5 years horsing around, instead of getting an education.

legalize isn't good enough it should be decriminalized. It's a weed. Let it grow and let anybody do what they want with it. Maybe with competition more cartels will do community service with all their ill gotten income and get the public on their side. Which a lot of churches and schools in Mexico will say is something the cartels do now anyway.
