Legalizing pot is merely getting the large brewing companies to think it benefits them. Currently any legislation to legalize is stopped by those guys who would rather keep making the big bucks on beer. If they were to get involved they would have the lobbyist resources to get it legal I think, however to want to do that we'd probably have to increase restrictions/make illegal alcohol drinking that cut into their bottom line. It would be fine with me, alcohol is way more dangerous than pot.

No, while they may lobby against it currently and I don't think there'd be an easy way to convince brewers that it'd help them (Anheuser-Busch/Budweiser is no longer an American owned American Institution btw
