My observation is that states that legalize raw cannabis for medicinal purposes soon find that it is being prescribed to large groups of people as a cure all.
I don't personally think adding another intoxicant to the people I see every day already inattentive and stupid is a good idea.
And it took decades to get smoking out of public places. I don't think the smell of pot burning is that much better than tobacco, nor is it good for your health. Inhaling any kind of smoke will induce long-term health issues.
Just my .02, you have a different opinion and I respect that.

That pill is still in wide use for treatment-induced nausea and for loss of appetite.
They legalized marijuana for medical use here in Michigan - most of the people that have "licenses" don't have any clearly apparent medical issue for which marijuana would be useful, and have the license as a "free pass" to smoke marijuana recreationally.
I was picking up a few cigars the other day and a guy came in looking to buy butane canisters in bulk - I learned from the gentleman behind the counter that people purchase the butane to process marijuana into a form commonly referred to as "wax" that they can either use for a very potent (and reportedly hallucinogenic( high, or sell to "marijuana dispensaries" for large sums of cash. A quick google search for marijuana wax can provide more information than I.
