Just because it doesn't need to have medical benefits to justify being legal, doesn't mean these benefits shouldn't be used in it's defense.
Especially when it's likely the opposition will make up false negative things about it. In other words, if you believe in legalization, they you are going to build a case as strong as possible, and that will inevitably include medical benefits.
I only was referring to real medical benefits. The false ones I wouldn't worry about much, initiated people can find out which ones are true and false, and ultimately it always tends to happen on both sides of debates like this, so it's not going away.
Actually you might be. I'm not a stoner, but somehow everywhere I go I find atleast one pothead blindly praising the "sacred herb". I must say it is quite amusing to watch them finding elaborate ways to bring it up in a conversation.
There is a difference between being healthy in general, like vegetables, and having health benefits in particular cases, like medicines.
But I don't really know where I stand of legalization.
I can see a point the OP was possibly trying to make, in that those trying to get legalization should take more time in pointing out the real reasons legalization is good, such as increasing personal freedom, and reducing the black market.
IIN to be getting sick of all these bullshit health claims about weed?

Very few are true though, I am less healthy for smoking weed, it's that simple.
Smoke of any kind can not be good for your lungs, obviously.

It's only on the net that I seem to find these fools, everyone I know that smokes pot knows full well that it's bad for you.
