Once so many states legalize the feds will be forced to take action. It’s not going away. The people demand it. Big business wants in. The cat is out of the bag. The genie is out of the bottle.
There are those of us on the right that disagree with subsidies going to farmers, legalize it, no more subsidies for farmers. They'll have a cash crop with demand.
Who cares about soy. Corn? With the uptick in munchies Doritos sales will sky rocket and use up the corn.
Regulate it like booze. 0 tolerance for DWI for booze/Devils lettuce.
Hippies want their pot needles. Conservatives hate welfare.
Get both.
If it were legal. I'd grow acres of it. The tax revenue from the sale would be in the millions/billions. Medical purposes, industrial/commercial purposes. Hemp fiber is similar to Kevlar in density. Soft armor for police. Weave it like fiberglass, use an epoxy and vacuum infusion to make boats or small airplanes.
I would hire dopes/dope felons to harvest, process, and package it for sale. Less welfare more tax payers. Lower taxes. Go from a deficit to a surplus.

The time has come. The time is NOW.
In IL we will be able to vote this NOV
Why should the Feds care?
What is the magic number of States to legalize it that will "force" the Feds?
I don't think much will change in who uses it or not when legalization takes affect. It will just free up police time, and take a lot of the criminal element out.
I share this opinion.
Like with booze and tobacco, some people partake, some don't.
In a place where THC is legal, the same would apply.
As for your closing line, I agree 1000%. We prohibited booze in the 20/30s and it turned common, two bit criminals into full on criminal empires/enterprises.
Prohibition of THC since the 1930s has achieved that in spades, even if we ignore the reasons why they went after it at the time....which is a whole other discussion.

Police time can be freed up by changing the local law enforcement guidelines. Here in South Florida, they won't arrest you for pot anymore, they just give you a ticket (except in the city of Ft Lauderdale).
So our neighbor to the north is moving forward and progressing.
Back here in the 1950s, Trump is on the attack with a marijuana task force (not to be confused with the Space Force.) The intent is to find negative things in order to bias opinions, while ignoring the positive.
Of course, last year, he was going to allow it by state, but the infamous flip-flopper has apparently forgotten.
“I support Senator Gardner. I know exactly what he’s doing,” Trump told reporters in Washington, when asked about the legislation. “We’re looking at it. But I probably will end up supporting that, yes.”
But now--
"...The Marijuana Policy Coordination Committee reportedly has asked 14 federal agencies and the Drug Enforcement Administration to forward “data demonstrating the most significant negative trends” about marijuana and the threats it poses to the country..."
