I think you hit it on the head when you said "whether it's smoking pot or eating dustmites". what if you take that to the extreme and a mentally, physically or emotionally challenged individual decides it feels good to consume lethal substance XXXXX?
If marijuana really has medicinal value, then advocates should have no problem with this drug going thru all the proper channels of drug discovery, pre-clinical trials, clinical dosages, clinical efficacy and clinical safety, just like any other drug on the market.
Anecdotal evidence (ie. users saying it helps) is not proof of concept. That could very easily be a placebo effect, and does not replace controlled blind studies
