Additionally, it should also be treated like cigarettes because of the smoke. So while a person may enjoy a beer in their seat at the stadium, they will not be able to smoke unless in a designated area.

I agree that that's a common sense approach if you want to legalize it.  But I'm not sure I want to legalize it.  I smoked so much in my younger years, I'm surprised I don't have lung cancer.   And I enjoyed it.  But I think it was the biggest most non-productive waste of time in my entire life.  I guess we might as well legalize it because everyone who wants to smoke it is already smoking it.  But there's nothing good about it.

False, marijuana has significant medicinal uses. Epilepsy, Crohn's, Cancer, and M.S. are just a few of the conditions it's helping to treat every day. Therapeutic uses for PTSD, Stress, and Anxiety are more effective than prescription drugs and other forms of self medication like drinking and drug use. I don't personally use it, but to say there's nothing good about it is plain wrong.

And I'm for removing any laws about it aside from impairment laws.
