The pesticides in the pot will give people cancer because many will be too lazy to grow it at home.
Jam rock will become the predominant musical style and you won't be able to get away from it. And tie-dye.
Or since prop-8 went through, this won't because of the morally conservative majority in California, people will cry while listening to their Bob Marley, and different evil men will still make the money and still destroy the world in less legal venues.
So either way really, you're fucked.

I see you're point(s) on some of this, but really...I hope you are joking about the jam music + tie-dye part. I know many, many of folks that smoke and don't dig any of that shit.
And I'm not going to say what may or may not go on in my personal life, but you'll never catch me listening to reggae. An event that happens maybe twice a year for mere minutes at a time. I respect some of it, but it's just never done much for me.
Pot should be legalized EVERYWHERE! Too many people suffering for something that is considerably less harmful than booze AND cigarettes. People that deal with pain related issues might not be spending quite as much on medical bills.
And of course, there will be those that try and pull some bullshit and sell pesticide-ridden marijuana, but PEOPLE will have a choice on what they buy (or perhaps even grow themselves). Always hurdles, so what? It's the same way with tobacco.
