When I saw the list on paper instead of a computer screen monday, I snuck a photo while the doctors were out of the room
Due to my wife being in a wheelchair since October (she started walking last week), and the extra medical attention of a broken ankle (healing quite nicely,) I have sat in on 3 visits to the emergency room, 5 visits to the orthopedist, 5 visits to the GP, dozens of visits by the in home nurse (for blood clotting factor measurements) and dozens of in home visits by physical therapists. Every one of them reviews her medications list every visit. Every single medical professional has encouraged her to continue using Medical Marijuana - even the one who doesn't understand and I am sure is skeptical.
The last visit was typical:
Dr.: "So you are off your Colase?"
Wife: "Yep. Don't need it with the reduce Oxycodone dose"
"And how are your stools?"
(skipping conversation)
Dr.: "You are still taking your Medical Marijuana, I assuume."
"Of course"
"How are you taking it?"
"Smoking mostly, some vaping."
"and the pain is manageable?"
"Yes."
"What is your pain level today?"
"4"
"Good. Keep taking the Marijuana. How are you doing on the reduced Oxycodone?"
"I feel better. I make up for it with a little more marijuana."
"Good. Good. now how about the ...."
Every medical professional in my experience treats it like a medicine that some other doctor prescribes, although it is technically only recommmended by the Cannacare doctors. When the ambulance EMTs went down her list with the local police in earshot, not a one batted an eye or made a non-medical comment. (I was VERY grateful the police didn't want to follow up on that info.) Sometimes when they have a few seconds while taking a temperature or blood pressure, a nurse or doctor will ask about the Medical Marijuana, but it appears real curiousity about it's effects, where you go to get a medical card, and sometimes whether we know about whether it is good for a family member's condition. One of the visiting nurses plans to come back after the professional relationship is terminated to discuss organic growing
Dispensaries have only been open in the state for a few months, but, curiosity aside, the medical professionals act like the state has had Medical Marijuana for decades.
P.S.
My wife looks 'normal' and smokes about 3 oz per month.
I look and talk like a stoner and smoke about 3 grams per month
It keeps the mind sharp. 
Getting dizzy though...
