Sure pot can help some people with cancer by making the pain go away and increasing appitite (Because they are stoned off their ---), but I've never seen evidence to say that a joint a day is the variable that keeps the cancer away. I agree it probably should be legal, but I hate people who think that the average healthy person has something to gain from pot use. The way I see it is that pot can help some people, and also can be recreational for many whithout being any more of a danger to society than substances that are already legal.

Very few marijuana users actually believe they're healthier due to it's use. I think that's a bit of a stereotype. They know they're smoking, and that smoking is bad... I'm sure there are studies out there that show smoking a cigarette helps some physiological function, at the cost of dozens of others.
