Marinol is nothing at all like actual marijuana. That is a fact.

Ask any patient who has smoked real marijuana, and taken Marinol if they are similar. They are not.

It's funny how most medical marijuana users prefer the naturally growing real deal over a synthetic version.

I need to get my hands on some of that.

Marinol is nothing at all like actual marijuana. That is a fact.

RX list:

Dronabinol, the active ingredient in MARINOL® (dronabinol) Capsules, is synthetic delta-9- tetrahydrocannabinol (delta-9-THC). Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol is also a naturally occurring component of Cannabis sativa L. (Marijuana).

My understanding is that THC is the main 'ingredient' in pot. There are many other psychoactive ingredients as well. I mentioned Marinol for a reason. First, DEA types make the claim that there isn't any viable use for marihuana in medicine. If so, why would a pharmaceutical company patent its main ingredient for use in medicine?

It's funny how most medical marijuana users prefer the naturally growing real deal over a synthetic version.

Personal choice of course. I've read a few articles and have seen the 'Marinol" is too intense" phrasing. Think "I'm sorry doc, the Marinol is making me feel too screwed up. I'd like something lesser please'.
