I guess I would not mind marijuana being legalized as long as the government required all users to vacuum seal their homes or only smoke it in designated areas.

If you are the type of person who doesn't like using stimulants, for whatever reason, that's perfectly fine. i know of a couple of friends who are TOTALLY against any form of externally focused stimulation; whether it be alcohol, smoking, premarital sex, even cursing. that's their belief, and i do not try to enforce my beliefs on them.
there is a difference between using anything as a RECREATIONAL substance for fun, and using it HABITUALLY. but the same can be said about ANY form of substance.. sex, masturbation, alcohol, cigarettes, TV, video games, forum browsing, drinking soda, fast food, coffee, redbull. you pick and choose your poisons and you have to be responsible for how much of that poison you use.

So based on a smell we should outlaw stuff? i would be totally down for that.. all the Asian markets that reek of rotting fish in the middle of a suburb, we can make that illegal. 25 years in prison for owning a stinky fish mart.
the legalization of marijuana would ultimately get rid of the smell.. every pot smoker i know would prefer to take it as a THC pill, or a THC infused brownie, candy bar, or lolly pop. they are making great advancements to it in California, where people can experiment and test with THC extraction. if they had the backing of the FDA, and were legal to experiment and test, it ultimately would lead to marijuana being an edible consumed item, instead of smoked.

also, you cannot possibly argue that if the government were to legalize, and tax marijuana, that it would be an economic boost from hell, like removing the t25 turbo that the economy is running on, and slapping twin t3/t4's with no waste-gate (nice car reference).. in taxes alone the government would be making hundreds of millions of dollars a year. American citizens are already spending that money on drug lords, black markets, drug runners, and others, to get their supply. if you could walk into a 7-11/citgo/shell/valero (what have you), buy a 12 pack of THC suckers for $30 and be on with your LEGAL marry way, the governemnt would make there $25 in taxes, and the user would get there supply, legally, without risking being shot, robbed, raped, or a combination of the 3. everyone wins.
