Indeed, and now we have to endure constant barrage of how MJ in all its extracts solves everything. It’s on TV and radio, in all your shops whether grocery or hardware.
We already have a snake-oil problem in this country of everyone going “natural”, and now MJ has become the supreme snake oil.

You are talking about CBDs, which have no THC and can’t get you high. I don’t know if they work, never tried them. Some people swear by them for pain management and such.
Yes, it is the only drug and herbal that is universally and falsely proclaimed as side effect free.
Not just for physical ailments but for political ones as well. In the late aughts and early 2010’s I kept hearing about legalizing marijuana would keep it out of minors’ hands, end the drug cartels, raise money for the state, and reduce alcoholism.
We legalized weed in 2016. Far from eliminating the black market, 75% of weed sold in California is illegal because Sacramento got greedy and set the tax too high to compete with the cartels just across the border. Alcoholism is the same as before, kids are getting it with fake IDs and older friends just like with alcohol, and if it raised any money for the state I haven’t seen any evidence of it being applied to my neighborhood. The roads are still full of potholes and the schools are still graduating kids who can’t read.
Out-of-state left-wing organizations spent a lot of money getting legal weed on the ballot, praised it to the moon as “the golden standard for cannabis legalization”, then left ordinary Californians holding the bag.
