:stoned California Legalization: The End Of The War On Drugs?

Was just thinking here about what legalization might actually mean in practice. I have some random thoughts, maybe some GFY wisdom can be added here...

Whatever side of the issue you might be on, we all have to admit that full legalization of Marijuana in California is/would be a significant game changer. The first question that comes to my mind is, won't the surrounding states now have to defend their borders with California? People traveling to and from, subject to search at the borders? At what stage do they admit the War On Drugs is a lost cause?

The next question is, if it's fully legalized for anyone over the age of 21, what then happens to the 'Medical Marijuana' structure that is already in place? Do the dispensaries simply convert to a convenience store?

Will California be isolated from the rest of the US at its borders or does the rest of the country follow suit and legalize?

Thoughts?
