Medicinal marijuana should be legal, but highly regulated so that it isn't abused. There are some niche cases where it is really useful such as treating certain forms of seizures, unfortunately progress in legalizing it for medicinal use has been hindered by the fact that in many states where medicinal use is legal, they use it as a loophole. There are whole clinics dedicated to having people walk in, claim they have a headache or some other BS, then get prescribed medicinal marijuana. Things like that need to be cracked down on.

Recreational use should remain illegal, but punishment for possession should be reformed so that its more about therapy to overcome addiction than to simply stick them in a jail cell. People shouldn't get lengthy sentences because they screwed up and got hooked on drugs. It's a waste of taxpayer money and they deserve a 2nd chance. Those caught selling drugs are different though, they're fueling addiction, and deserve the sentences they get.
