Western society has a serious issue with nuance. No, we should not throw people in jail and ruin their lives for smoking cannabis. Yes, cannabis has some health benefits for specific people in specific circumstances. No, that doesn't mean that cannabis is somehow "good for you" in the standard sense of the the term.
This is why the "health benefits" arguments for legalization of drugs are generally a bad route to take. It would be far more fruitful to argue for legalization based on individual responsibility, personal choice, and related themes.
