" Fruit, is a vital source of Vitamin C and other nutrients. Without it diseases like scurvy and other such things show up."

This is true. But, as I said, consuming large amounts of fruit would be detrimental to your health.. (I know from experience, I used to be addicted to oranges as a kid, lol), but they are still considered 'good' because in moderation they are extremely benifitical.

This is the way I see Cannabis. True, it can be detrimental to your health if you consume large amounts of it, but in small amounts it can have both positive physical and mental effects.

In my personal experience, Cannabis has helped me to clear my mind, put my life into perspective, become inspired, happier, etc.. So if it can have these positive effects in moderate doses, I believe that my physical self is also benifiting - your state of mind effects your physical health.

So, in light of this, why isnt it a 'good point' to compare it to fruit?
