65. This seems like it contains many logical fallacies.

At the end of the day, Marijuana should be legal, under regulation comparable to alcohol. Still, while some may feel they receive "medical" benefits from marijuana, that's really something that should be regulated far more. At the end of the day, it should be legal as a recreational drug, which would make it available to those who find it to have "medical" purposes.

Any other argument is just filled with holes, IMO.
