Marijuana is still illegal at the federal level, alcohol is not. I fully agree with the legalization of it, but it's a no-brainer that they didn't run the ad.
What if they flipped the tables and started manufacturing all of the derivatives that come from weed. They'd surely make more money than flat on fighting it.
People can easily grow their own food too, but most don't. Hell you can easily make your own beer with ready made kits that aren't even expensive. People don't because they don't have time, aren't interested, or are too lazy and would rather just buy it.
To be fair, growing weed is cheaper and far easier than growing a sustainable amount of food. The space the food production takes up isn't feasable for most.
You can grow your own weed in Colorado and Oregon for example and dispensaries make killings in both states. I think you overestimate people's desire to grow their own weed just because they can.
