You may be partly correct.

It's been rumored that while the cigarette manufacturers aren't pushing for legalized marijuana, they're prepared for it. there may be names for joints under copyright right now.

I'd say the thing keeping marijuana from becoming legal is a test for immediate intoxication. Any legalization will include a new batch of laws regarding driving, operating machinery, etc. Until a test saying that at the time of the arrest, this number shows how high you were, those laws would be entiorely subjective, and impossible to prosecute effectively. Since most drug tests can only say if you've used in the past few weeks, that isn't happening.

And for those out there who "drive better when I'm high," sure you do.
