I've always maintained that a lot of advocates do more harm than good for legalizing. They tend to oversell the medicinal benefits and act like it's some kind of magic cure for everything, and it comes across as them just being degenerate potheads that want an excuse to get high all day. And I'm not even saying that's my opinion, but that's how it comes across to normies that still think of it as "the devil's lettuce". There's not even any need to oversell it, it does have medicinal benefits and helps alleviate a whole range of different ailments, it just doesn't really cure anything. And that's fine, over the counter pain killers like ibuprofen don't cure anything either, but helping alleviate a headache or some joint pain is sure as hell useful, nobody thinks of ibuprofen as illegitimate or not real medicine. They should just drop that and take the liberty angle, because it really is a strong argument, who cares why I want to smoke weed, I just want to smoke it and it's not harming you. Bang. Solid argument.
