Legalization... now?

Will legalization of marijuana (and not just for medical purposes) happen soon?

As proponents are pointing out, there would be a trifecta of benefits: a weakening of the criminal enterprises that supply it, reduced costs for law enforcement because fewer cops would be needed, and increased tax revenues (in the billions).

And the downside...? I can't think of any. If Joe six-pack can go home and drink a six pack, why can't Joe blunt go home and smoke a joint?
