What are the biggest industries in America?
Last I checked (a few years ago), the illegal drug trade was the #1 industry in America, and Adult Entertainment (ya know what that means, lol) was #2.
I have a sneaking suspicion that the Pharmaceutical Industry is in the top 5, which is mostly why our policies about drugs are the way they are. If there isn't any money in it for the drug companies, they just make it (or keep it) illegal.
The truth is: if they made pot legal, it would take the value out of it. Unfortunaely, it can also be argued that it can promote growth of some industries in our country that have been on the decline for years <cough, cough, agriculture>, but sadly those industries just don't have as much influence on the political process.
