No, it was a political strategy that involved an end-run around an archaic Federal drug system where moving anything out of Schedule 1 is nearly impossible. Schedule 1 status was causing distress to medical patients that needed access to cannabis for medical purposes. You can find old youtube videos still of law enforcement offers arresting patients when they had days left to live.
Don't look at your own cannabis use at the reason MJ was made legal for medical reasons in some states. Actual real patients demanded it.
You happened to benefit from the success of their strategy.
Not a BS ploy at all. An impressively well conceived strategy that has slowly worked.

if a regulated pharma company was the distributor, it would be legit. There is no reliable system of dosage at a dispensary, or from the doctor.
there is nothing stopping pharma from selling THC pills, in fact they do and those pills have exacting dosages with the same medicinal benefits.
but the fact you can legally purchase and consume marijuana flower, means that it's like you said, an end run to get around a stupid prohibition.
don't fool yourself into believing that this is some miracle treatment. it's just legal pot, and there is $billions to be made.
