This could be seen by history as the turning point of the drug war:
Federal government won't block Colorado marijuana legalization - The Denver Post
Quote:
The guidance instead speaks to prioritization of federal resources and lists eight federal priorities that prosecutors should consider when deciding whether to undertake a prosecution. They are:
• Preventing marijuana distribution to minors
• Preventing money from sales from going to criminal groups
• Preventing the diversion of marijuana from states where it is legal to states where it is illegal
• Preventing criminal groups from using state laws as cover for trafficking of other illegal drugs
• Preventing violence and the use of illegal firearms
• Preventing drugged driving
• Preventing the growing of marijuana on public lands
• Preventing marijuana possession or use on federal property

Most of these things are appropriate regulation even once it get legalized
