Totally agree. The entire legalization political momentum started because cannabis has real medical benefits. Early legalization efforts focused on cancer, and AIDS, because the benefits there are very real. Marinol is a synthetic cannabis drug.
Then some how the movement lost the plot and people started purporting benefits for things like ADHD, insomnia, and anxiety. I am confident the large majority of medical professionals would claim there are better drugs for those conditions. Then legalization was sold as a better alternative to alcohol and opiates (which it is). But some how the low addiction rate got sold as no addiction. There are scores of people who are probably making their anxiety worse with daily cannabis use, who are under the impression they are self-medicating their anxiety. When they quit they might go through withdrawals, despite believing it's not addictive. I think the science is fairly clear and maybe not settled in certain places, but I think the pendulum has swung from the misinformation of DARE to the misinformation of the Cannabis lobby.
