I agree. Medical Marijuana is really a misnomer for most cases. Liberally prescribing for any kind of disease/pain/condition when there can be better drugs available is not professional.
I don't think I'd like to have to lie to a doctor, or make up some bullshit condition. I don't need a drug to help me with a critical health or psychological condition, I use MJ for recreational reasons. If it's legalized, it'd have to be as a potentially safer alternative to alcohol, the most popular legal mind-altering substance.
Maybe just like drinking, smoking it in public would have to be illegal? That might curb underage use, I'm not sure.
