Yes because your case has any likelihood of making it to the Supreme Court where you have an overzealous prosecutor and an overworked public defender.

The odds of lying about marijuana use on that form coming back to haunt me is effectively 0%. I'm not loosing any sleep over it!

Let’s say you got pulled over for “fitting the description” or because you “looked suspicious” and let’s say that it’s one of the cops “specially trained to detect being under the influence” [1]. Let’s also say that you are legally allowed to carry.
Do you really think there is a non zero chance that cops won’t use any excuse to make an arrest seem legit?

I choose not to trust that the justice system will ever veer in my favor.

The justice system isn't about justice, it's about control, power, and winning.

Unless you have a documented use, like a card. Then the risk goes way up because it's easy for them to search.

I think you give the government too much credit still. In Florida for instance, ex-convicts registered to vote at the county office and were told they could based on a new law. The county clerks gave them bad information and they were still arrested.

It doesn’t matter how much “documentation” you have, if the criminal justice system wants to target you it will.

Yeah... I'm saying the documentation that you have a medical marijuana make it more likely they would target you, because it's not that difficult to cross-reference various government lists (marijuana database and NICS).
