I myself never fell for the "medical marijuana" con, but plenty did:
Medical marijuana has been legalized in 37 states, but a new study released Friday found that the drug had no benefit for those treating pain, depression, or anxiety. Moreover, a significant number of people in the study who used marijuana for medical purposes developed cannabis use disorder, also known as marijuana addiction, the study found. The study was conducted by the Massachusetts General Hospital.
“People with pain, anxiety or depression symptoms failed to report any improvements, though those with insomnia experienced improved sleep,” said the study’s lead author, Jodi Gilman, an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School. Depression and anxiety are some of the conditions most commonly treated with marijuana...
Marijuana remains illegal under federal law and is classified as a Schedule I drug, meaning it has a high potential for abuse or dependence and little to no medical benefit.

It doesn't surprise me either. These are my observations about long term marijuana use:
1) It seems to kill ambition for other interests.
2) People who indulge in it try to recruit other people to their fan club. They feel like they are enlightened somehow, and they evangelize. If you don't develop an interest, they drop you from their social circle.
I think it ruins productivity and damages relationships, among other effects.
