Those are industries which require an enormous infrastructure investment. It would be detrimental to society to have purely competitive infrastructure companies building massive industrial projects on top of one another, so we allow a reasonable oligopoly with controls. Weed is in no way similar. It has no equivalent infrastructure needs and therefore no legitimate reason for curbing competition other than to privilege a bunch of greedy assholes through law.
