If it became legal some sort of system like a breatholizer must be needed for those driving impared. Sounds like alot of work to be done in lets say 80 years.
Prices would actually drop dramatically. Marijuana is one of the most versatile plants on the planet. It is extremely easy to cultivate. Many places in South American where marijuana laws are slack or ignored, weed can go for a few bucks per pound. One con of legalization would be that the government would ban the cultivation of marijuana by citizens, in order to make a profit. They did this with tobacco too. But hey, that would still be much better than the insane laws we have in place now.
