Legalization of pot wouldn't solve anything. First of all, Pink Floyd's success is attributed to good lyrics and inventive composition, not drugs. Hell, drugs pretty much destroyed Syd Barret's sanity, which was the beginning of the end for Floyd, so there ya go.
Second, our economy is in bad shape because the big corporations are all churning out different versions of the same damn things, and Bush's Christian outrage towards scientific fields like therapeutic cloning is delaying many new industry's.
Third, Americans will avoid anything that could make them fat. Pot bellies aren't stylish.
And finally, Art and Economy don't really match up. The creation of the collector's market has not really generated much money for the economy. It's only led to thousands of artists ending up broke when their works went out of style, and it damn near killed the comic book industry in the 90's.
