WUT?...
Tobacco's natural and that's one of the most heavily taxed consumables you can buy.. also legalising weed will only lead to more problems - it'll be difficult to control who's producing it and there will still be illegally imported or homegrown strains, plus of course different people like different types and different strengths, and you'd have to monitor how much people are buying and all that... It's far too complicated. The system in place at the moment works perfectly to be honest, it's technically illegal but police are trained to only monitor marijuana activity: if there's a known cannabis cafe or dealer house then they'll know where it is but only go to shut it down when it gets out of hand, because if you shut a place down it moves elsewhere, and it's easier for them if they know the locations and let it go in small amounts.
Possibly the best idea ever hahaha
or they make it illegal because of the effects it has? Not because off taxes.

* Even hardcore smokers can become anxious, panicky and suspicious.
* It affects your coordination, which is one of the reasons why drug driving is just as illegal as drink driving.
* Some people think cannabis is harmless just because it’s a plant – but it isn’t harmless. Cannabis, like tobacco, has lots of chemical 'nasties', which can cause lung disease and cancer with long-term or heavy use, especially as it is often mixed with tobacco. It can also make asthma worse.
* Cannabis is risky for anyone with a heart problem as it increases the heart rate and can affect blood pressure.
* There’s also increasing evidence of a link between cannabis and mental health problems such as schizophrenia. If you’ve a history of mental health problems, depression or are experiencing paranoia, then taking this drug is not a good idea.
* Frequent use of cannabis can cut a man's sperm count and suppress ovulation in women. If you’re pregnant, smoking cannabis may harm the baby.
* Regular, heavy use makes it difficult to learn and concentrate. Some people begin to feel tired all the time and can't seem to get motivated.
* Some users may want to buy stronger herbal cannabis to get ‘a bigger high’ but unpleasant reactions can be more powerful when you use stronger strains, and stronger varieties may lead in time to more severe dependence or more severe mental health effects.
Also weed leads to harder drugs.
