If you legalise weed, vicstar, then the chances are that the government will introduce taxes for it - it then becomes an issue with quality, as the growers will try to maximise their profits - much in the same way as tobacco is now (the quality of tobacco is ridiculous).

Why bother?
The only thing that it will achieve is that you'll be able to smoke without getting prosecuted.
Which in turn will open the doors to experimentation by people who would otherwise abstain through fear of getting caught - if cannabis IS a gateway drug (a ridiculous idea), then more people will become drug addicts, then where would we be?

It's a nice idea, but if you look harder at the ramifications, then I think you'll find that the way it is now, is the best way.

Better to be sensible and discrete, and carry on as normal, I think.

There would be compulsory drug-testing in the work place, which will lead to higher insurances, loss of jobs, and an alienation from society.
Cannabis is a pyschoactive drug (ie, it affects your thought processes), would you be happy getting into a plane with a stoned pilot?
Cannabis stays in your system for about 6 months, even years if you're a regular user, you'd not be able to get a job, thus wouldn't be able to afford the dope, so what's the point?

I say, leave it as is, take your chances - but if you're sensible, then life and dope can go hand in hand for a better experience of life.
