I like the idea, but I also don't want to reward people who are currently doing illegal stuff. It just seems to me the most likely beneficiaries of such a change would be the gangs who already know who the customers are, how to grow the stuff, and so on. Plus it won't become legal everywhere at once, so it makes sense if you're an international drug gang to not just jump out of the closet, rather to hide your association with "legal" entities in countries where the law has changed. Aside from that I do think there needs to be a change.
