One can argue for social and recreational use of cannabis without the need for it to be medicine
One thing legalisation has archived is that these kinds of studies are a lot easier to do now.
Even if this study is right, cannabis still helps with glaucoma and pain management so it absolutely still is medicine
And certain seizure and tremor disorders, and as an appetite enhancer for patients on chemo AND as a treatment for IBS and related gastrointestinal issues and further research into novel cannabinoids and the endocannabinoid system as a whole is promising for developing future treatments for a whole bunch of ailment incorporating wide ranging systems of the body. I smoke maybe once a month, but that experience is always psychologically rejuvenating and restorative for me.
Great, so it should at the very least be available to treat such conditions, and arguably for social and recreational use too
