Marinol

Dronabinol, THC

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the principal psychoactive constituent of cannabis and one of at least 113 total cannabinoids identified on the plant. Although the chemical formula for THC (C21H30O2) describes multiple isomers,[9] the term THC usually refers to the Delta-9-THC isomer with chemical name (−)-trans-Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol. Like most pharmacologically active secondary metabolites of plants, THC is a lipid found in cannabis,[10] assumed to...

Where in the world do I get Marinol in New Mexico?? Who are the Drs. letting us have Marinol in NM? ## Hi bean, Based on my research, Marinol (dronabinol) is listed as being readily available by prescription-only here in the U.S.; so I'm not completely aware why others might be having trouble even getting a script for it. From what I understand, any regular MD should be able to prescribe the stuff. On another note, medical cannabis does appear to be legal in the state of New Mexico. So if anything, it would make more sense in my opinion, to use actual plant matter, as opposed to a synthetic variation made in a lab. Have you already inquired about Marinol's availability with any doctors in your area?

I'm a difficult case of fibromyalgia, poor treatment response since 15. I'm on a pharmacy of meds including 150mg daily oxycodone, clonipin, cymbalta, gabapentin. Ext. Well my liver diagnostics are coming back elevated. Thing is I would drop all of them in a heart beat if I found ONE thing that works. medical MJ is NOT legal in Utah. I've lost 35 pounds in 8 months or so but not enough my drs care. My top three symptoms? Pain, nausea, anxiety. Followed by exhaustion. I had to leave the last 3 jobs from this and I just want to try something that may work. Anyone here with ANY fibro/marinol experience? I'm not looking to be high, just functional. I swear Utah will be the 50th state to legalize. ## I am very sorry that you're so miserable and having such problems. Marin...

I would like to know if it is possible for someone who has a prescription (and other documentation from a physician) to purchase Marinol at a Canadian pharmacy and also how much does a prescription cost (on average) in Canada? This in important information for a friend and I appreciate any and all information, thank you. ## Hello, David! How are you? I'm sorry, but I don't have any pricing information. And no, if a medication is available in the U.S., under the law it must be obtained here, unless you were traveling at the time it was prescribed and had to get it filled where you were located. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hi and thanks for your response. My friend had to go to some sort of arbitration between a judge and not sure if the other party was medical. In ...

It was a rude responce to looking for samples. It has been proven now that marinol is helping people with chronic pain like myself. I live in Utah and cannot get samples to at least try. I barely tread water on heavy doses of narcotics. 4 spine surgeries (failed) and 2 knee surgeries another replcement required has left me desperate to try anything that may help so I can have any kind of life. So if anyone knows how to get free samples (as there is a way) please email me...Thanks for listening.... ## I've also recently heard of using cannabis leaf for spinal regeneration and numerous other conditions that we're otherwise said to be incurable by the FDA. If you're interested in more information, I've come across a youtube video pertaining to "juicing" the cannabis...

has a um on the soft gel pill ## I know that people are frequently looking for information on this medication, so I'd like to add it…. Marinol contains a pharmaceutical formulation of THC, basically a refined form. It is a very mild analgesic and can also be used to stimulate the appetite. However, it will not create a high effect, like most people get from smoking marijuana. You can learn more Marinol details here. Are there any questions or comments? Is there anything I can help with?

ROUND CREAM COLORED WITH SPOTS ON IT LETTERS UM ON IT I WAS TOLD IT WAS A THC PILL? ## Yeah man. Those are thc pills. Little round ones, like not even pea size. Marinol. Its like the pharmaceutical name for them. ## That is correct and just to clarify, since many people misunderstand, it does not have the same effects as raw THC in marijuana, so you cannot use it to get high. It can have a calming effect for anxiety and stimulate the appetite, but those looking to abuse it will be sorely disappointed. I do not want to infer that anyone that posted here was looking to do so, but there are people that have been asking such things, so I just want to make the real details more clear. You can learn more Marinol details here. Are there any other questions or comments? ## What's the dosage...

I saw some gel caps Saturday that were very small ~ pea sized ~ they were dark brown in color and said 'WD' in white letters on it. I was told this was THC, but I find that very hard to believe. The fact that there was only one and no bottle left me wondering....... ## You were actually looking at the imprint upside down, the marking is UM and the dark brown are 5mg Marinol gelcaps and yes, that is the medication derived from THC. The active ingredient is actually called Dronabinol and you can learn more about it here: Are there any other questions?

Im on work comp for two herniated discs. Doctors have me on Percocet 10 and zanaflex. Body adjusting. I also am prescribed 3mg of xanax daily along with zoloft for anxiety. Would this pill help if I were to ask? I dont want to take pills that can become habit forming like this. AndI know my tolerance is going up. Can someone please give me an honest answer. Thank you so much ## The Oxycodone in the Percocet is very strong and taking the Xanax into consideration, as well, I really doubt that the Marinol would help you much. Learn more Marinol details here. It's just really not been made with the intention of treating severe issues and it's potency really pales in comparison to what you are already taking. Are there any other questions or comments?
