Personally I would prefer cannabis over opioids. It doesn’t have the dependency issues.This is the current "prescription" for weed: "Smoke it / eat it until you feel better. (or pass out)"
I do understand. You're the one who doesn't seem to understand that 40 states and D.C. have determined that Cannabis IS a perfectly legitimate treatment for some conditions and as of a few days ago, the Federal Government decided to get out of the way of the overwhelming Scientific evidence that supports it.
The Standard of Care comes down to basically adhering to generally accepted practices.
In 1996 Medical Marijuana was legalized in California, from 1998 to 2000, 7 other states legalized it and as I pointed out earlier, it is legal in 40 states and D.C..
Each state tightly regulates the production and sale. Along with multiple independent tests for potency, pesticides and many other things.
Each plant is tracked, seed to sale.
"Generally accepted Practices" have been established.
This isn't, Johnny selling dime bags on the corner. That's still illegal.
Each State sets it's own guidelines, because the Federal Government, like you, has been way behind the Science.
Sure, not all Doctors are on board, but there's plenty of Doctors out the who won't prescribe Opioids or Viagra. Some won't prescribe Ozempic for weight loss. Not all Doctors will perform an abortion.
All those are Medically accepted practices.
The Science is out there and I'm sure that soon there will be a nice template to fit all of your concerns into, now that the Classification has been changed. Right now, there's 40 states doing their own thing, but soon the Federal Government will step in and clean everything up to your satisfaction.
Funny, but not true.This is the current "prescription" for weed: "Smoke it / eat it until you feel better. (or pass out)"
Here's some Voodoo on the subject.

THC is a drug. It has a mechanism of action, a useful dose and a potential for addiction or abuse. Just like every other drug, man made or natural. Opiates have been around for centuries. Natural and otherwise. It got a foot in the door before before it was fashionable to ban such things and was refined to be useful. Same with cocaine, I think dentist still use it to numb gums.
All of the people advocating, legalizing and promoting "medical" marijuana have their thinking stuck in the 60's. They fondly remember the good times they had burning a joint on the the way to a concert. The THC level of modern pot is so high due to genetic modifications and hybridizing that it isn't even close to naturally occurring cannabis. The dose of THC is off the scales and nobody knows what that dose does to the mind. The same people will smoke their pot on the way to a rally to ban GMOs in food. Think about the stupidity of that. Anecdotal evidence suggests a dose that high makes people go crazy and do crazy person shit, not in character of the high they remember. Look at the riots of the last 10 years and the people reporting on it calling them mostly peaceful. I rest my case. Smoking anything is the worst and most dangerous way of ingesting a drug. You have no idea what the dose is and you have no control over the other things that get into it. The only reason government is involved at all is a to get a cut of the action. The stoners advocating "legalizing" are too stoned to care that the government is taking a huge cut of their action. Being government they will fuck up the whole thing way before they will do anything good with it.
The whole vote in Florida last year was an attempt by one company to control the market. Their hope was that there would be enough people too stoned to see what was really going on and vote it it. Then they would have a government mandated excuse to do what they wanted, ice out competition and charge whatever they wanted.
It is worth studying the potential benefits of a mildly hallucinating drug and best way to administer it. Anecdotal accounts say it is beneficial for pain management and nausea prevention among other things. Various hallucinogenic mushrooms are proving to be beneficial in treating PTSD and addiction. Ancient cultures explored and used it as such. Modern humans studied it, refined it and applied it to learn more.
