If money is the issue at hand for the folks who matter, then weed still should be legalized. There are billions of dollars being put into prisons for people who have been put in there on marijuana charges. Not to mention, the gov't would tax weed and make lots of money off it.

On the other hand, I heard that it will never be made legal because growing it is so easy that it wouldn't be profitable for companies/gov't.

But then, if they still made growing it illegal and just legalize buying/smoking it, you'd think that most people wouldn't bother with the risk of growing.

The biggest problem is that most people would not vote for a president that would look lenient on a subject like this. The general public is against weed, since it has been lumped into the same category as crack or heroin. Most people wouldn't argue that those drugs are good. Since weed is just "another drug" to most people, it would be an up-hill battle.

It would take decades of changing public opinion before any real changes could be made.
