I am for legalization in some ways, then not in others.
I agree that some people may benefit from its use - for medical reasons. I also think that others will not benefit from it at all, on the contrary. I know plenty of people who are depressed and in a rut and the pot smoking doesn't help - it seems to make them more indulgent in their misery at times. Sure, some people smoke it and are fine.
One of my main reservations is that in teens, marijuana seems like a good way to come into contact with other, harder drugs. This doesn't mean that because they smoke pot, they will take other drugs. But it does increase the risk somewhat.
I have never smoked pot so I can't really say much on this topic. My 2 cents.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
