It's a step but I still can't get my head around the fact that cannabis still isn't fully legalized in all Europe after all those years of it being clearly not a danger. Why isn't it like any other consumable industry?

If you look at Holland, it is "legalized" since ages but the production isn't, coffee shops still basically get their stocks through unclear borderline illegal sources, which just makes no sense and above all, doesn't do anything against mafias, which are rather strong there. At some point they even started to forbid foreigners to access the points of sale in some bordering cities. It's such a strange in-between. Why didn't it even progressed there? It's like stuck.

That is why it is the whole chain and especially the production that should be legalized, it'd create so many jobs and especially, bring quality (and nicely packaged products) for the consumers and finally end that ridiculous idea that it's a "bad thing", making it an opaque and still unknown subject for a part of the society. It just needs to be integrated and remove the useless attraction for what's forbidden and take a progressive leap to have an informed population.

I just wonder what are the lobbies or the powers that don't let that happen and why exactly for? I heard all sorts of theories, from pharmaceutical groups which would want to make sure to obtain monopolies and therefore planning it to other baseless speculations. The debate was much more public 20 years ago than it is today, maybe it just got "forgotten".
