> Marijuana is being used medicinally en masse in many countries today

I suspect "medicinal" marijuana is just a ruse to get it legalized. Not to say there are not medicinally beneficial compounds. I also support legalization. But it's a pretty big coincidence that the only medicine with "roll it into a joint and smoke it" as the delivery mechanism happens to be used recreationally in exactly the same way. Just like alcohol was "medicinal" during prohibition.

Where does the line between recreational and medicinal really end?

Having a glass of wine after a stressful day, instead of Xanax, is that medicinal or recreational? You could argue either way, I suppose.

I don't think medicinal is smoked.
