Well, here, let me edumacate you:
For what it's worth MMJ is not medicine today nor has it ever been. It has medicinal qualities and it is rightly categorized a "Narcotic" and a "Psychotropic" but because it has so many components and it's effects vary so much from plant to plant and person to person you just can't call it medicine. Aspirin is medicine. Two shots of whiskey is medicine. A joint is not and never will be. In fact the whole MMJ idea was a ruse by a spinoff group from NORML who wanted to legalize use, they saw the "medicinal" approach as the best approach to accomplish their long term goals.
CBD is one of hundreds of components of marijuana. Like THC it is likely that when extracted, or synthesized, much of the intended effect will be lost. Drabinol does not create the munchies that pot does. Drabinol is medicine though whereas pot is not.
I'm starting to wonder if you just have some personal vendetta against MMJ. Two shots of whiskey is medicine, but a joint isn't? I don't see the rationale behind that.
Dronabinol(correct spelling if we're talking education) is indeed a medicine. But saying CBD isn't just because it isn't created in a pharmaceutical lab and sold for hundreds of dollars by RX fraudsters is pretty close minded. Chinese drink horse penis tea for god sake, and they have been claiming that is medicine for far longer than the US has even been around.
Medicine is anything that helps someone get better. Simple as that.
MMJ without a doubt helped me. If CBD oils can give me the same relief that MMJ can without the impairment of clarity, I'm willing to try it.

EDIT:
You are making unsubstantiated claims. This is EXACTLY the reason the FDA and USDA exist. Uneducated people, like yourself, cannot make unsubstantiated claims. You are breaking SEVERAL federal laws by making such false and misleading statements.
YOU ARE A SNAKE OIL SALESPERSON
If they are unsubstantiated, why are lawmakers going out of their way to allow it for use as a medicine for children? There would have had to have been some kind of research done to prove that they were in fact beneficial in treating ailments.
