No, it makes sense to people who argue and understand it in the right context. The idea behind it is that most people shouting that "weed is bad for you!" are hypocritical at best because they partake in many other activities themselves that are far worse than any amount of weed ever could be. Your "seeking out herpes" analogy doesn't apply. But it's a funny thing, hypocrites can never see their own hypocrisy, even when it's presented to them right in front of their eyes.
For the people still stuck in lockstep with the "weed is bad for you!" manifesto, I ask only
one thing of you:
Alcohol has been
proven to be bad for you.
Cigarette Tobacco has been
proven to be bad for you.
(insert mile long list of other examples here)
So
prove to me that Marijuana is bad for me, AND that the negative effects outweigh the benefits (as is done with anything we ingest). And
then I will give some consideration to the thought of discontinuing its use and warning people against it. Seeing as how it's been used by humans for thousands of years with no attributable deaths, you've got a big challenge ahead.
