Though cannabis is legal in some states now and on its way to become legal. Its medicinal traits are somewhat dumbed down by some accounts of what its effects are. Most of these theories are thrown out there by non users. The reefer madness is what I like to call it. Constant redicule and brainwashed opinions on how pot is bad for you. How it is harmfully to your health and how it effects you in the long term. Such opinions are laughable at best but overall shine a light on the ignorance of the subject.
Cannabis can heal. As one of the most perfect of herbs. Pot, or weed is a miracle drug that can help with cancer, menstrual cramps and an array of other things such as muscle aches and pains to just taking care of stress. When smoked cannabis can help concentration and work. For those that are always bashing the weed. We can also now say hey get a job now that weed has been legalized it can stimulate local economy's and help local businesses bloom.
Moral of the story keep an eye out for any Sayers. How can you change their opinion? Well some would say spark up a huge Doobie and pass the dutche to the left hand side. Although this may not be so easy in reality due to some people just having their biased uneducated belief that there is no need for pot in their life. A very sad and unenlightened view on such a great thing making it seem like some people will never learn or be able to open up their mind to natural remedies and cures settle for the evil alternatives of the evil and deadly doctors and their pharmacys responsible for killing people every year. A very dangerous and sad mistake.
I'm very passionate when it comes to my pot and People who thinks its wrong. Mostly to my family. As they are conservative christians. I'll talk til I'm blue in the face trying to debuff all the propaganda that's against it. Including to some of my own family. Whether they partake or not, that's on them just don't come at me with bullshit against it cuz I'm ready to sit and rebuke whatever they have to say bad about it. Some, have come around.. other not so much. They don't bring it up to me anymore. However, that don't mean I won't bring it up. Lol. I generally try to bring up article recalling benefits at every family get together.

"Drugs are bad... Mmmmkay." LOL
I don't partake myself, but here in Washington State it's currently legal (not that I think government should have any say in the matter what people do to and for themselves).
Even though I don't partake, I feel like marijuana is a valuable resource and I hope that it gets more "normalized" as such. Like any substance "overuse" can sometimes turn into abuse, but that's up to each individual to decide.
Simply having an attitude of aware "tolerance" in the midst of people shuttered by blinders can have a positive effect on them... though like you say, using one's voice to influence is probably more immediately effective in changing the atmosphere.
