What if marijuana legalization was seen as an end to the probition area? Marijuana was legalized by sometime around 2005?

Most drugs remain illegal in the United States but earth based drugs (marijuana, peyote, ect...) become legal for all uses.

The United States now regulates and taxes marijuana in much the same repect that it does tobacco.

In some areas local county and city laws keep it illegal in some areas. However in many parts of the United States marijuana is sold in tobbaco stores and there are even a few "dutch" coffee shops that have opened up.

You can still get a dui for driving around high and you get punished for selling it untaxed.

What's the overall effect? Is the United States better or worse for it?
