Heck, even legalizing hemp would be a huge economic (and ecological) boost. How about being able to buy a hardcover novel for $2.00 or a magazine for twenty-five cents? Hemp grows quickly, lasts a long time, and is cheap to maintain. It also has no physical resemblance to cannabis sativa and has much different agricultural requirements, so you couldn't hide pot in a hemp field.
As for marijuana legalization, I don't want to step into that wicket at the moment. Everyone knows the arguments and counter-arguments at this point.
