Yea but I assume you'd smoke weed anyway.
Normal people not involved with the culture or inclined to pursue it probably aren't being offered weed by their ER doctor. So for a majority of Americans that don't use or have any inclination to even consider using it doesn't make any sense

No, my pelvic floor doctor told me I should pursue it because we had run out of options. Granted she is very open minded, but Iâm happy she did. Not every doctor is that self focused (only suggesting things they can provide) and they like offering things that might help if nothing else is helping.
Edit: Part of the issue here unfortunately is the lingering stigmas around weed. I know many others suffering from chronic illness who found medical marijuana or were recommended by their doctors because opioids are torture for so many people who are in pain. âYou probably would anywaysâ is rooted in so many negative connotations. You donât really know my life? 10% of people with my disease consume marijuana. Yeah, Iâm sure I would have eventually considering thatâs becoming incredibly common increasingly and it is frequently recommended for pain.

It is still most likely true heuristically. I am glad it helped you but I'm replying relative to the question in OP. It won't really change much for most people. A majority of people who will smoke already smoked.

Well for one, many medical consumers donât smoke and cannabis consumption isnât just smoking. Most doctors, if they recommend it, suggest edibles over smoking as obviously thatâs healthier. Anyways I get your point, there are just a lot of misconceptions about medical use.

You're nitpicking what I'm saying. I mean most people who will consume pot already do.
