I am extremely wary of anything that can lead to schizophrenia and hallucinatory disorders - which research has conclusively proved dope does. As a result, I don't want to smoke weed myself - I'm screwed up enough already ;) - but I think that perhaps legalising it would be a wise course of action. Perhaps if it was legalised AND appropriately regulated, it would eventually put the underground cannabis trade out of business - and with usage being legal, perhaps there could be more research and regulation for safer usage?

But I agree with you in a way, GuitarPsy - if it's simply legalised WITHOUT any regulation, it will be extremely destructive.
