Sure, but who's to say over the counter purchasing of marijuana isn't medical by definition?

It's a drug. It would certainly be a plausible argument that rescinding the need to have a doctor's prescription or some other formality does not change that fact.

Presumably allowing aspirin or bandages to be sold at gas stations or supermarkets doesn't stop them from being medical devices.

In the first instance, the Department of Justice.

If people disagree, it becomes a dispute in the courts as people try to rollback the DoJ’s actions.

I’ve pointed out that this argument is available in another subthread, but you really don't want to be in the position of having to make it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16075569
