By legalizing marijuana, previously classified as an illegal substance, the government (as with other organized crime) has created a new stream of stolen revenue to finance itself, that up until five minutes ago, would have been considered the proceeds of crime, possibly even racketeering. Also, through legalization, the government was able to rally a contingent of the population who are grateful to no longer "criminals" in the eyes of the law, which had the unfortunate effect of manipulating public sentiment in favour of the government. It's a true match made in hell.
