Legalized, yes. Taxed only as much as rosemary, thyme, and sage.
Little to no taxes would be collected when a few community gardens can provide pounds and pounds for free. It is so easy to grow. Pot's price is artificially inflated by the black market on an immense scale. Legalization would cause such a tremendous drop in prices, and many people scared to grow because of harsh penalties would take up the hobby. The legalized pot industry would be a niche one.
The industrial side of the plant, our great war hero HEMP, that's the money maker for our society after the fall of prohibition.
