i beleve legal pot in the us would be, and will be, a step in the right direction. some quality may go down due to greed, but some people will still put forth the effort to sell quality product. besides, legalization would give farmers the ability to openly experiment and improve, both the genetics and growing supplies, which would inmrove the quality. also, companies who test for drugs might change some policies. after all, alcohol is legal, but just because a substance is legal does not mean it's acceptable at work! i would prefer a "high" pilot rather than a "drunk" pilot. another point is that if the police dept. was not wasting time arresting potheads they could put more pressure on other (harder) drugs.
