My parents don't understand why marijuana should be legalized

I think it is clear why marijuana should be legalized.

There are a number of Health benefits that include both physical and mental health benefits.

I mentioned going on a treatment plan that includes medical marijuana and my mom and dad nearly had a meltdown. I thought my dad was going to go ballistic. He told me that the doctor was probably a quack. He told me that no doctor in their right mind would ever prescribe marijuana as a treatment. My dad was outraged and wanted to know the name of the doctor. Of course I did not want to tell him the name of the doctor after I found out how angry and upset he was. I honestly had to rethink my plan to use medical marijuana after I saw how my mom and dad reacted. I certainly didn’t want them to be the person that affected my decision, but it was pretty easy to see that they had a very strong opinion that differs from the doctor. If nothing else, I thought it was easily a good idea to get a second opinion. I made another doctor’s appointment with someone else that has a license to practice medical marijuana medicine. This time I took my mom with me to the doctor. She asked a lot of questions, but this doctor agreed with the first one and felt that medical marijuana would be able to help me both mentally and physically. It was hard for my dad to argue with my mom after she had kinds of information from the doctor and the clinic.
