We have legalized weed in many capacities, it just hasn't hit the streets yet. The legalization was passed, no flowers, but edibles, concentrates, oils, and other versions that you can get a standardized dose in. It is approved medically for a slew of different conditions.
That being said, I think Joe Rogan said it best when he said that "a gummy bear shouldn't be able to steal your soul". They need to dial back the potency on it. Look at what humans did to the poppy and coca leaf...if they do this to marijuana we're going to be seeing the first marijuana caused overdose death...respiratory failure, cardiac arrest, and other things that many of our most lethal drugs don't do in their natural form. The synthetic analogs of cannibinoids are already hurting a lot of people so the potential is definitely there. That being said, there is no compelling reason to keep it legal, and the states complaining about states around them flooding weed into their borders reminds me of states and cities with gun control bitching about surrounding areas flooding their area with guns....well you can't get the cat back in the bag once it is out.
I personally can't wait for the new class of billionaire that pot will create in the United States. Might counterbalance the enormous and malevolent weight of certain other industries.
Good people don't do marijuana.
