I'm all for legalization... I think the benefits to the economy would be huge, not only from taxes but from saving money spent on the prosecuting and imprisonment of low level drug offenders.
I did however read an interesting article yesterday about growers in Humboldt being against legalization as they fear it killing their their profits... "they say, it will drive down the price of their crop and damage not just their livelihoods but the entire economy along the state's rugged northern coast."
