Sure you could, but this topic isn't about those.

I think cigarettes alcohol, marijuana and all recreational drugs without purpose are distasteful, and the ones that affect mental health especially are dangerous--risky at best--and have no place in society.

And NyQuil actually has a purpose, by the way... Recreational marijuana does not. Once again, the "pros versus cons" aspect of these issues is what's imperative to the overall outcome. Medicinal marijuana when controlled and used in the way it's intended to be used--for appropriate conditions and ailments--also has a purpose and therefore I have no problem with it. Yes, there are bound to still be those unnatural risky side effects that come along with it, as with any prescribed or over the counter drug. However, because medicinal marijuana has a truly beneficial purpose that is intended to ease suffering, as long as it's purpose is not abused, the pros of medicinal marijuana outweigh the cons.
