What if it's illegal for a good societal reason, and lobbying is just throwing enough money at enough of the right people until they succumb and legalise it?
It's never going to be cut and dried 'a good thing'. In some instances it will be and some it won't.
It might be a good thing if you think the natural progression of a governmental system is one where entropy increases til' things can't change, and you think that governmental systems trend negative in aggregate.
I'm not yet convinced of the above, but my trajectory points that way.
