@bigj well, medical cannabis patients (along with their Dr.) refer to it as medicating. Whether eaten in whatever form, oil used; vaporized or smoked. I reside in a state where it has been legal since 2008 and I became a patient that same year.
For those with "pre-disposed" ideas about the subject, I would defy you to recognize that I use this medication (multiple times) daily but for myself; I am thankful it is available with all that I deal with personally.
