There are actually people out there who doubt the benefits of vaccines, proven over decades of tests and actual results, yet blindly believe all the claims about weed, which is ass backwards to me.
Like I said, however, I support legalization. If people think it helps them or they want to use it recreationally, fine by me if they do so responsibly. If it is actually proven over long periods of rigorous testing to have the medicinal benefits that are claimed, even better.

Bingo. This is not just your "opinion," this is basically the consensus of the medical community. There isn't enough research to know the long-term effects of cannabis, both good and bad.
However a lot of people who like to get high recreationally and/or want to start a business selling cannabis in different forms lobby for the "medical" argument. It's total bullshit, just admit what your real intentions are.
