The argument is entirely backwards. Anytime a freedom is being removed The burdan of proof should lie on the people taking away a freedom to prove it is harmful and not on the users to prove it is okay. The worst arguments by far are one the anti legalization side which are

Drugs are bad
And
Marijauna is a gateway drug

I would rather here plants are good as a generic argument than drugs are bad mmmkay
Dude, have you actually read anything I've written?

I've said about a dozen times, I don't care if pot is legal or not.
I don't care if the reasoning behind whether or not it's legal makes sense or not.
What bugs me is when people trot out the "It's a plant argument" like it makes any sense.
There are a ton of arguments you could make that don't rely on an obviously flawed premise like "plants are safe for consumption", that's what bugs me, and what I've been saying is stupid.
Argue the validity of the reasons behind pot being illegal all you want, just leave the fact that it's a plant out of it.
