I'm sorry but your preconceptions are way off. Medical studies on cannabis are not just about smoking weed and feeling better because you got high from it.

Here are the two main areas of research:

- For two forms of treatment-resistant epileptic seizures, Lennox–Gastaut syndrome and Dravet syndrome, it is the closest you can get to a "miracle" treatment -- significantly reduces seizures with no clear downside other than feeling the effects. You can extract just the specific cannabinoid (cannabidiol) needed to treat it, so that there are no unwanted psychological effects from it.

- It is nearly irreplaceable for treatment of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. The alternatives (prochlorperazine, promethazine) just don't have a cost-benefit analysis that adds up the way cannabis does.

And two important areas with a lower quality evidence are anorexia and migraines.
