> I've always been on the skeptical side of medical marijuana usage in all but the most extreme cases,
Really? I've always found the milder claims fairly believable (fighting nausea or chronic low level pain relief). As an anecdote, I can attest to dealing with kidney stone pain well (rather than stopping the pain it reduced how much I noticed it) and it ended up more effective and felt less dangerous than the opiods I had used in the past.
Some of the more "miracle" claims, however, seem pretty suspect to me and I'd want some reliable reseach.

What makes you skeptical of so many claims?
