Millions. On top of all the people using it recreationally and (unfortunately) illegally, several states have medical marijuana programs.

They even have marijuana vending machines at some.
Does marijuana help multiple sclerosis?
While hotly debated, marijuana does reduce the neurological pain that MS patients feel better than the toxic, highly addictive (yet somehow still legal) manufactured drugs like OxyContin. It also reduces nausea felt by chemotherapy patients, and it also reduces intraocular pressure that cataract patients feel. Some forward-thinking states have allowed medical uses of marijuana by allowing doctors to prescribe its use within that state. Sadly, medical marijuana users can still be prosecuted by the Federal government for illegal drug use.
What conditions allow you to get a medical marijuana card?
You may only get medical marijuana if you are in a state/country in which medical marijuana is legalized. Some states have only legalized the CBD-extract to treat patients, for example New York.

Certain states like California hands out medical marijuana cards for just about anything, from migraines to cancer - practically anything. Overall, it really just depends on where you live, and if it's even legal in the first place.
