If the state laws were written explicitly referencing 'OTC medical use', I would agree.

However, the state laws of Oregon, for instance, specifically use the "recreational" terminology. It is not an invention of the media.

Other states, like California, with general legalization do not.

The use of it for all legalization regimes that aren't predicated on a physicians recommendation is, though.
