So which do you think is more dangerous?

There is to much influence from big business companies.
How do you think drug reps would sell there new Anti-depressant if smoking pot was legal. No one would make any money on it, as it could only be sold as a "Herbal Supplement", as that's what it is. They cannot trademark it to jack the prices, like the rest of the lab-created drugs they force down our throats. The only thing the govt. could do would be to tax the hell out of it, like tobacco and take there cut off the top.
I do not see it becoming legal as there is to much gray area on issues, and by the time all is figured out I will have already smoked my last joint...

The one thing about decriminalization is this...it's already begun in some states/cities. Sure the US Supreme court ruled it's illegal under any circumstances but they also ruled a slave was property. The court only rules, those rulings mean nothing if not enforced. Some cities/states (Alaska, what was it..detroit? or colorado or something, parts of California) all basically don't regulate or cite for small possession of it. They realize it's a waste of either jail space or tax payer money to try fight something so harmless.
Another good point was brought up regarding the differences between hemp and marijuana. Besides the # of leaves, marijuana is grown far apart to promote flowering/leaves whereas hemp is grown packed together to promote stock growth and little flowering/leave chutes. The main reason I bunch them together is that if it was re-legalized it would be senseless to have paid people to always inspect each growing site to verify that of those 100+ acres of hemp that not 1 was a marijuana plant. Instead they could do something like (for ever 1 marijuana plant 5 hemp plants must be grown) just to get some sort of regulation going on it while keeping it legal. Who knows though really...it's too much of a political suicide to talk about it so it'll take some time I bet and some slow but subtle changes for it to be legalized.
