Approach it from a health and economic perspective. It's no longer about what the plant can do, how many uses it has, as the public already knows this and accepts it. The real challenge is how to increase public health and safety, while at the same time saving millions and generating billions of taxed dollars, money that could be better put to use for society in our hospitals.
i agree, but the public should also be made aware of such facts as an acre of cannabis grown in a single year produces more paper than an acre of trees grown over 20 years...stuff like that is most definately worth mentioning as it proves that cannabis is a viable commercial crop and can be used to save the environment at the same time as generating billions of dollars...

Talk about how cannabis is less addictive and less harmful than sugar, caffeine and aspirin. People die and suffer major complications from all three, and yet cannabis creates dependency in only about 10% of its users and has not been found to have caused a single disease, cancer or death in recorded history.
the amount of household items that would be illegal if discovered today are amazing...alcohol, caffine, sugar, tobacco and panadol are all great examples because those 5 things make up the majority of health related deaths in the world and are all legal because the government can make money and regulate the products :thumbdown
as niall said, make a big deal about that in your argument and then ask the person your giving the argument to to give you reasons why cannabis should still be illegal, then give them way around the excuses they give out...eg. for health, use a vape
