We did prohibition once already. The result was that all the little guys went out of business and the big guys ended up in positions to be the only guys. I wouldn’t discount that as being a possibility for weed.
That is already happening. They don’t need to make cannabis illegal again in order to monopolize the industry. All that takes is time, money, and effective lobbyists.

We aren’t in the prohibition era though, things are different. That’s the point of legalizing weed now.
We already have tons of small businesses/ individual entrepreneurs selling weed (dealers).
The point of the “legalization and regulation” process is to make it prohibitive to sell legally and transfer the market into the hands of big businesses who can afford it.
