I had this same conservation with with a friend of mine and we finally decided that marijuana should be legalized, but that the government wouldn't do it since they wouldn't be able to control it all (aka tax it). You could grow it in your back yard and the government wouldn't get a dime xD
You need quite alot of equipment for the growing + some seeds, so they would get money from that at least. And I know that in many countries you can buy all the needed equipment from stores already (like here for example), but seeds would still be a new source of money. But still, if it was legal more people would grow it for themselves and more people would be buying all the stuff for growing, so more money.
And ofcourse the fact that they would SAVE money by throwing all the potheads out from prisons.
