40. The derived synthesis you posit is simply not in their literature.

Some quotes from that PDF:

"The DEA and the federal government are not alone in viewing smoked marijuana as having no
documented medical value. Voices in the medical community likewise do not accept smoked
marijuana as medicine"

"The American Medical Association (AMA) has always endorsed ―well-controlled studies of
marijuana and related cannabinoids in patients with serious conditions for which preclinical,
anecdotal, or controlled evidence suggests possible efficacy and the application of such results
to the understanding and treatment of disease. In November 2009, the AMA amended its
policy, urging that marijuana‘s status as a Schedule I controlled substance be reviewed ―with
the goal of facilitating the conduct of clinical research and development of cannabinoid-based
medicines, and alternate delivery methods. The AMA also stated that ―this should not be
viewed as an endorsement of state-based medical cannabis programs, the legalization of
marijuana, or that scientific evidence on the therapeutic use of cannabis meets the current
standards for prescription drug product."

"The American Cancer Society (ACS) ―does not advocate inhaling smoke, nor the legalization
of marijuana, although the organization does support carefully controlled clinical studies for
alternative delivery methods, specifically a tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) skin patch"

"The Drug Enforcement Administration supports ongoing research into potential medicinal uses of
marijuana‘s active ingredients."

"Sativex®, an oromucosal spray for the treatment of spasticity due to Multiple Sclerosis is already
approved for use in Canada and was approved in June 2010 for use in the United Kingdom. The oral
liquid spray contains two of the cannabinoids found in marijuana – THC and cannabidiol (CBD) - but
unlike smoked marijuana, removes contaminants, reduces the intoxicating effects, is grown in a
structured and scientific environment, administers a set dosage and meets criteria for pharmaceutical
products."

So, the postulate "have long claimed that cannabis has no medicinal value whatsoever" is directly refuted, multiple times, in multiple ways, by your own provided link. They even go as far as to directly point out recognized medicinal values of cannabis.
