    I hope that the US dares to legalize the stuff. If the US does, the rest of the western countries will at least reconsider their stance on drugs.

I wouldn't count on it happening soon. There is a huge infrastructure built around the US war on drugs. It is a cash cow for a number of industries, like the private prison industry. Not only do we need to change the public dialog, we've got some serious special interests to overcome before a policy like that could pass the legislature.
