As “medicine” how much is a dose? Is the quality consistent or are some leaves more potent or weaker than others?

The plants are highly variable. There are different strengths and chemical compositions for different symptoms. People generally try a few different ones before finding what works best.
The best method of dosing is to inhale vapor until symptoms stop. You feel it instantly, always get the optimal dose and there is no danger with toxicity/overdosing. Everyone has a different tolerance and it changes every day so standardized measured doses are meaningless for cannabis.
It’s also possible to eat it in a pill, oil or mixed with food. It will last much longer between doses but you will never get as accurate a dose.
They’re only going to allow vaporizers and/or pills, but I think it would be hard to OD on pot.
