Its my experience that most people smoke Marijuana through a bong or a joint/spliff/number/ or in the old vernacular a reefer. Most people who smoke it also have no idea and don't care if it has toxins in it from the drying process. There are lots of ways to ingest Marijuana such as cookies or using it in cooking food. Even if you atomise the plant you are still taking it into you lungs.
I fully support medicinal marijuana but not in the smoking form. You could as you say put it into a solution, but then you have the problem of what chemicals do you add to it to keep it from going off if you are to sell it in a pharmacy. I think the pill form is probably safer. Used via a prescription.
Getting back to my original post, smoking marijuana is very detrimental to your lungs and it has a very high resin and tar content. If you are smoking it you are probably causing lung damage.
