3. Have to say I've always disliked the term "recreational" use. Makes it sound frivolous

somehow, at best; and implies a pejorative context in my opinion. I've used Cannabis for nearly 60 years and I've rarely seen anyone using it to "recreate". Most often, like alcohol, it is applied as a social lubricant. In non-social settings I think people use it to facilitate creative expression, acquire spiritual insight and improve mental health. I think the term "recreational use" has been applied as a label by those who have never used it.
