Don't mix up things here. One thing is the tyranic imperialistic governments in control of nations worldwide, another thing is local, municipal government that handles with common daily issues like local crime.
If you legalize marijuanna, this will open precedents to other drugs and empower the drug traffic even more, as the police force won't be able to do anything. It will NOT move to corporations! Large corporations will not mess up with this kind of thing. It'll remain in the hands of crime. Kinda like gambling was handled by the mafia in Vegas back until the 70s, no one wanted to handle that, not until crazy loony Howard Hughes bought them all.
