I agree it's unlikely. THC may have some medical uses, but smoking it certainly does not.

Perhaps gummies/edibles would be covered under some circumstances -- but to be a prescription or even an OTC "medication" it has to go through FDA approval to demonstrate efficacy and document the side effects, and it will have to be manufactured to pharmaceutical standards of potency and purity, which will make it more expensive.

I think it will most likely be like alcohol: sold for recreational use, age-restricted, and not medical.
