they wouldnt make hardly anything in taxes so it will stay illegal unfortunately.
also a regular smoker is hard to pick out, people go to work stoned all the time and go mostly unnoticed. clear eyes a just a small amount of self control and its impossible to tell a stoner from a slightly slow person.

Assuming you're right about everybody growing their own (which I don't think is true: see Harry's post), keeping it illegal and enforcing that policy costs money. Legalizing it makes it free.
Also, if you can't pick out a smoker from a stupid person, what's the harm? The only people who will be hurt if people are stoned are the stoners themselves, because they won't be able to perform well, and because of that they won't be able to get good jobs. Oh wait, that's already true. So who gives a shit?
