Being illegal alters economies all over the world, though.
Take a pot-growing country (Mexico, Afghanistan, Nigeria...) They grow pot but selling it on a black market turns sky-high profits. They have no desire to turn it into paper. If it were legal, those countries' economies would have a chance of stabilizing.

Sure, those are countries with no drug problems. Their crime is caused by our drug war. Only the criminals benefit from illegal drugs. Legal hemp would be good for Mexican farmers. Hemp could be grown on marginal land and the oil exported to the US. Farmers there could make a living at home instead of crossing the border into the US.
