Marijuana isn't just recrational. It is also used for medical reasons. The arguement with that is does it work, does it not work. Good drug or Bad drug? FDA has many regulations set up for this. The drug is "problematic" so says the article "Up the Smake: Does Medical Marijuana Work?" by Consumer Reports in 2016. The National Institute on Drug Abuse says that hemp hold the mind-altering chemical delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, and many other chemical compounds. It also has high amounts of THC. It is the most commonly used illicit drug in the US. There are a handful or short term and long term affects with the useage of Cannabis.

But honestly that is a thing with every drug, what do you think?
I like how you bring up the FDA and how they classify MMJ. As well your use of a source. I personally believe it to be a medicine more then anything. Of course there is the stereotype that a Smoker or someone who consumes MMJ or THC concentrates are "Stoners" but I've noticed a lot of people using it for multiple uses, mainly pertaining to pain, Stress, And sleep. But that is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the potential medicinal uses.
