It is already legal in nine states for recreational use (and three more are voting on it next month) and a number of likely 2020 Presidential candidates plan to make it legal if elected. I saw a poll on TV today which said 60 percent of the American public favors legalizing it. My guess is it will be legal across the US if not by 2021 then by 2025 at the very latest.

If pot gets legalized in the US, you won't see people out there wanting to legalize or decriminalize cocaine or meth or crack or other street drugs. For one thing, marijuana is 100 percent natural, you grow it, dry it, and smoke it. It will be handled just like alcohol; in fact, the soda manufacturers are already working to produce athetic energy drinks that just contain CBD (the part of pot that works for pain and doesn't get you high) and drinks that contain THC (the part that gets you high) so it will won't be just smoking it. Legalizing pot isn't going to open Pandora's Box for legalizing all other illegal drugs.
