I grew up a young boy, succeeding in everything i did, being top of the class, etc. As i continued through my schooling years i continued to do the same, and at the tender age of 14, tried my first joint and loved it. I continued to smoke throughout high school, heavily i might add. I would usually smoke a joint every break i had from class.

I smoked heavily for the rest of my high school years, continuing to excel in everything, being top of the class, getting top grades, getting a well paying job, getting a nice girlfriend, and eventually moving on to university.

I am now 22 and still continue to smoke heavily. I'm still in uni and still excelling. I have had no mental health problems except for a bit of depression when my grandfather passed away, but that's only natural. So my point is this: if weed is used medically, why is it seen as bad and illegal, when it has not affected me (or a number of my friends) in day-to-day life?
