I don't know if it's so much an obsession as it is a financial decision. Money is the reason pot is illegal and money will be what legalizes it. Since the government is the body that will decide its fate (federally speaking) then it stands that it will be a monetary decision. If the government believes they can make more money legalizing it than they spend prohibiting it, the tide might turn.
At least, that's what I think.
