marijuana users who claim that it is good for your health

It does have well established medical uses.

and doesn’t have any bad side effects.

I've never heard that said; anyone who says that is a fool.

It does have well established medical uses.

If it does, somehow those medical uses have never made it into the medical literature in the form of controlled studies. Anecdotal stories are not evidence.

I read a story recently of a woman who had hyperemesis syndrome for 17 years before she was finally diagnosed. No doubt, one of her rationales for using marijuana all of that time was because she had heard that it calms nausea. In other words, her attempt to self-medicate was causing her problem.

and doesn’t have any bad side effects.

Apparently, you have never perused the NORML website. It promotes the idea that marijuana is perfectly safe. And NORML has been promoting legalization for decades.
