Then why is it used so much on the medical marijuana threads? I'll look for you LOLing some of those posts, though I haven't seen you do it so far.

You can't argue that MJ can alleviate symptoms of various conditions. I think it should be an available option, but I don't think it's a cure-all. Letting someone decide on their choice of medicine isn't really a laughing matter when they're dying anyway, but I wouldn't put it past you to laugh at a terminal cancer patient that wanted the freedom to use alternate meds.

"isn't really a laughing matter"

Hey, I'm not the one who's laughing at anecdotal stories. I simply discount them as a basis for making medical decisions -- I favor research, peer-reviewed studies, and clinical trials.

You're the one who's LOLing and saying that "anecdotal evidence debunks nothing". I'm just waiting for you to repeat that exact statement on the medical marijuana threads, that's all.
