Why hasn’t the legalization of marijuana been exploited by the tobacco industry?

Lambert asked:
Why doesn’t a company like Phillip Morris lobby for the legalization of marijuana? By lobbying for it they would be gaining a foothold in the market, and that would be worth billions. Even without corporate benefits, state and federal governments could make a fortune on the tax of marijuana. How is it that the motivation for the almighty dollar hasn’t achieved this, since medical reports and common sense have tried and failed?
