I have even observed this is the most common and a major symptom of smoking pot.

I think that only happens because it's still under prohibition. If it were not illegal, you'd probably hear a lot less of it. I think the main drive behind people telling stories of the benefits is to spread awareness that this plant is not the anti-christ or a communist plot to control us, and get the prohibition repealed. I know speaking for myself, if it weren't illegal, I'd smoke happily and quietly and go on living my life, and let the rest of the world decide for themselves if they want to use it or not. Just like anything else.
I think lots of pharmaceuticals have their place in this world too, but I don't wave flags for Vicodin, because it's not illegal. (yet.) The government has no business telling me what I can do with my own body. They never have. They never will.
