Pot is still illegal because,

You get 1800 gallons of fuel from an acre of pot.
Everything you can make from oil can be made from pot
30% of all medicines would be replaced with pot.

We don't have a PM function here actually.
It's true about the oil/timber/medicine lobby, and can I also add that the alcohol and tobacco industries would stand to lose significant profits were cannabis to be decriminalized due to the sheer simplicity of producing one's own recreational substances? And of course the government can't tax something that isn't sold- so all the tax revenue from those industries would be severely impacted!
