That's assuming legalization will lead to a massive surge of new pot smokers, legalization would allow it to pass through quality control, users would then have a fair idea of the THC levels. I don't think leaving quality control to the black market is the better evil, not when the market is so huge and shows no signs of declining.
I have had my bouts of paranoia when I used to smoke it (regularly anyway) and I've found all my bad trips are a result of mixing it with other intoxicants, I'm sure most smokers here will probably tell you the same.
