Why not legalize trade fully and cash in on those sweet sweet taxes?
Same reason Germany is failing to do so right now. EU laws and even some UN treaties that need to be circumvented in creative way as they don't actually allow legalisation.
The un treaties should not be a Problem. Germany could Just ignore them Like canada or leave the treaties and rejoin with a excemption for cannabis. Bolivia did this for Coca leaves.
Do you treat your own contracts the same way? Sign them and then act as if you didn't? What if other people treat you like that? Sell you a car, grab the money and leave taking the car with them?
Somebody has to start.
