>massive industry
it already is, and instead of just a slice through "taxes" the government has a monopoly on that massive industry by keeping it illegal.
think about the entire process of regulating, policing, jail and bond, trial, imprisoning, fining, penalizing, 100% of that being pulled from tax payers and budget restricted to weed control.
then keep in mind the gov grows a ton of its own that has special legal status.
