Stereotypes and misconceptions regarding the group of people who smoke cannabis for medicinal purposes (for pain).

For this essay, the focus is that you wrote an essay on stereotypes/misconceptions about the group (individuals who smoke prescribed medicinal marijuana to ease pains), and use those stereotypes to inform the reader about your group, not that you wrote a strictly informative essay.
