I don't know if I could care less about the legalization of it. I can get it either way, and the political/moral/financial applications, while not lost on me, amount to exactly jack shit to me.
I think what would tip the scale for me would be whether or not it helped to extinguish the obnoxious "weed" culture that Gen Y so ardently embraces. On one hand, I think that if weed was made widely available, weed culture would flourish. "Across the Universe" would be regarded as the greatest film ever made ever, and Spencer's Gifts would effectively become the next Enron. This, for me, would be a nightmare from which there is no waking.
On the other hand, weed culture stems(*snort*) from rebellion. The second it's legalized and kids see their grandparents wakin' and bakin', it could become the least popular euphoric inhalant on the market.
Obviously my views on this subject have been simplified for the sake of comedy and laziness. You get the idea.
