Legalize it? Medical evidence on marijuana blows both ways

Sparked anew by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's call for the state to study the legalization of marijuana, both sides in the smoldering pot debate point to research to bolster their positions.
Yet when the arguments for legalization of marijuana, both for medicinal and recreational use, are put forth, solid medical science often gets clouded in an ideological haze.
I don't see any problems at all. Cigarettes are legal and kill thousands of people every day. Same for alcohol. What more harm can marijuana add to this? A drug that is way less harmful that the legal ones.
