I think you have to think of it more in terms of young people growing up in a world with legalized pot rather than apply it to me. Would it turn more people into underachievers or work as a gateway drug? But I think you're right that legalization would change the subculture. I think some people like the excitement or rebelness associated with pot here today, but getting one's pot from the apothecary would remove the glory completely. You wouldn't be a rebel, just a dope smoker.
In the US, I guess an obvious bonus from legalization on society is that you have a lot of cannabis-related crime which taxes society. Are there any less political reasons on how pot could add something positive to society?
