I really can't believe that it has taken this long for things to start progressing in this direction. Marijuana is really not all that much different than drinking and therefore I think the same rules should apply. Here in Canada they have been moving towards this for a couple of years now and the legal sale of Marijuana will start this summer. It might have been sooner but there needs to be some rewording of legislation around the issue of driving under the influence etc. I personally see this as something that will become big business quickly. I'm shocked that the governments haven't thought of this as a way to tax people more like they do with tobacco and alcohol. They could have been lining their pockets long ago. It will be interesting to see how the prices of legal pot look once this comes into effect. How much will the government be skimming off the top?

Good comment. Yes, the government will benefit; they always find a way. :)
