Under this definition, it is quite logical to say that pot is being employed as a medicine.

Only by what passes for logic with you.

[Just sayin]

What major medical organization endorses smoking pot for "treating disease or illness"?

Where in that definition does it say that "Major Medical Organization" has to label it a medicine for it to be considered a medicine? Oh wait, it doesn't does it?

You are seeking to apply a standard of definition that fits your position rather than the definition I offered. You could provide a definition that does stipulate that a "Major Medical Organization" must approve but you have to use a dictionary not the FDA handbook or your own ideological thoughts. If you can provide one, then by all means make sure you correct the online dictionary that the definition I offered came from. www.dictionary.com

What miss here is that some people consider this a medicine and some people consider that a medicine. We can't have a varying or diverse view on that subject can we? We all must assimilate under one view, yours, just like Sharia Law huh? This is what you present whether you care to admit it or not.

One more thing, would you consider history itself to be a "major organization'?
