People who advocate for weed and its medicinal benefits don’t actually care about the medicinal part. The majority just want to get stoned without getting judged for it.

“I smoke a bowl each night so I can actually fall asleep”

“My.. leg.. hurts, so I smoke weed for it”

“Have you heard what weed can do for your [insert health problem here]? Try smoking indica, it’ll clear that right up”

Let’s not kid ourselves. The grand majority of people who smoke pot do it to get high. Of course there are people who do have legitimate health stuff that they treat with weed, but come on. Most people are just trying to get stoned but don’t feel comfortable enough to admit it, so they blame it on a health reason. You’re most likely not smoking because you get headaches, but rather because you want to binge watch Netflix and eat a pint of Ben & Jerry’s without people giving you shit for it.

EDIT: Not sure where some of you are getting the idea that I don't want weed to be legal from this post. I'm all for legalizing weed. This post has nothing to do with legalization. My whole point was that most people who smoke pot do it to get stoned but use it as a medical excuse so that other people won't judge them. Should people judge them? No, but there is a still a stigma attached to pot.

EDIT: I also clearly stated in this post that I know there are people who do smoke it for medical reasons and it helps. Once again, I never said that it didn't. All I am saying is that the grand majority are just trying to get stoned lol.
