Common Questions and Answers about Marinol use medicine

marinol

I suffer from severe chronic pain due to a complicated eye condition, I find that cannabis is very useful in reducing my pain. It is stupid that it is not leagle for medicinal use. I almost got cought today smoking the stuff. I find that is almost as effective ass all my other pain meds put together (including Dihydrocodeine and Morphine) and it is not addictive like narcotics The sooner it is leagleized the better.

People are confused, as I was until today, regarding Medicinal Marijuana laws. I live in Las Vegas, Nevada and got my prescription and letter for Medicinal Marijuana from my doctor. Here in Nevada, you can grow your own once you pay $200 to the Dept. Of Agriculture for your "card". The question was: Can you go to another state where they have Medicinal Marijuana dispensaries and get Medicinal Marijuana if your state has no dispensaries?

Us Native Americans have been using it for good medicine for centuries! BTW...did y'all know that in the earliest part of last century...that our government actually PAID farmers to grow it, because it was such a profitably crop (& used in tonics & tinctures)...while at that same time period...ALCOHOL was ILLEGAL?? I believe it should STILL be this way...IMHO! Alcohol has killed more people & broken up more homes than any other drug on the planet! BTW...

Marijuana Not Medicine, Addiction Experts Say Kathleen Louden Apr 29, 2013 CHICAGO — Illinois should not legalize cannabis, and physicians should not write recommendations for patients to use marijuana for medical purposes, because it is a dangerous, addictive drug and is not approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a group of addiction medicine physicians said during a press conference here.

I used weed for the sides and it helped. I tested undetectable after 6 months on Peg-Intron and Ribavarin. I do know that I have macrocytosis (enlarged red blood cells)now and they can't figure it out. It appears as though I've been drinking, but I haven't had alcohol since a year and a half ago. Maybe it's the weed showing up as a blood disorder. If it doesn't go away by Nov. I have to go to the Hematologist.

Many states, countries, cities consider it beneficial enough to legalize its use for medical use. I'm ESLD b/hep c free, thanks to tx and otc meds and pot. I have no problem w/my liver w/pot. B/I have big time trouble w/junk food, pops, cheap candy, fried foods, caffine and too much red meat, never mind salty food. Now, I don't need any studies to prove it made tx bearable, b/c it did. I called it a toker's dream-no munchies no matter what.

I am actually thinking of moving out of Utah, and resorting to using cannabis (medicinal marijuana) if I can get it prescribed to me. This came to mind when my state mental health rehabilitation counselor said to me yesterday (before my doctor's appointment" that medical marijuana actually helped people, especially those diagnosed with ADHD like me, AND autistic children. I even remember reading this last month: http://www.neontommy.

I have been treated for Chronic pain post Cancers and therapies, and I am very tolerant to any Opiates. I would like to try using Marinol (synthetic THC) for pain; it helped my pain as well as my nausea when I went through my Stem-cell Transplant. I am in Athens, GA; does anyone know of a doctor willing to prescribe this medicine for pain (when you have not been diagnosed with a cancer...yet?

I cannot speak of the Cannabis personally although on the TN Assoc website there is an article about it's effectiveness, but it doesn't address combining it with other drugs.Here is a snippet as we cannot link on this site...

html#storage-conditions Medline Plus - A service of the U.S. National Library of Medicine From the National Institutes of Health National Institutes of Health ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What storage conditions are needed for this medicine? Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children.

I don't think your husband's worries have any basis in science as neither medicine currently being used (peg/riba) has been shown to be carcinogenic. If you smoke 2 packs a day your risk for lung cancer increases manyfold. If he was 32 y.o. and started at, say age 16, that would be equivalent of someone smoking 1 pack a day for 32 years. And probably worse, since the injury is higher for someone who smokes 2 packs a day.

Upon obtaining a recommendation from their physician for use of medicinal marijuana, patients and their primary caregivers may apply for and be issued, a Medical Marijuana Identification Card. SB 420 also required that the MMP be fully supported through the card application processing fees. Both the state and the counties have authority to cover their costs for the program through these application fees The following came from this other website: http://freerepublic.

Canada has allowed Big Pharma into the Medical Marijuana game (Sativex). The US is not yet ready for that. Marinol isn't even close. All THC and no CBN, and there have been overdoses with Marinol. I hold a great job with a fortune 20 company that knows I augment the treatment my disease with MMJ. They are not worried about it. They have a bigger issue with alcohol and prescription drug use in other employees.

I think smoking weed is your choice. Just don't tell the doctor or nurse. I have heard of others doing it and don't recall if it caused any problems. I do know there were studies that it can affect the liver and cause fibrosis.

You've had a lot on your plate this past year. Welcome to the survivors club. Medicinal cannabis is commonly used for cancer patients. Hope it helps you. Very best wishes for your continued recovery and good health.

Cannabis treatment licensed for MS 21 Jun 2010 The first symptom relief drug specifically for people with multiple sclerosis (MS) has been licensed by the MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency). 'Sativex' is an oral spray made using cannabis extract and is used to help alleviate MS symptoms of spasticity.

Are you in a state that has medical marijuana, ask the trial team about using it for nausea control. If not, use your best judgement. Try the ginger; that's medically proven to reduce nausea.

Synthetic drugs which bind to the same receptors as THC. These drugs constitute the few Schedule I drugs on the market and Marinol is one example. These drugs are very potent and are almost exclusively reserved for cancer patients and persons suffering from AIDS. I wouldn't want to draw to many conclusions from your post but I would urge you to consider whether THC is medicinal or utopian?

I looked briefly into it and was impressed by not only how much it may help people (medically) but how carefully it is regulated when it is used medically. It is strictly done in a doctor's office and carefully monitored. It's not like they are going into a back alley somewhere and buying this from drug dealers. They also appear to monitor the amount and usage. I don't think people can just go to a doctor and ask for it, either. They appear to have to have a legitimate medical reason.

Some have said they couldnt get through without it. There is a medicine called Marinol. My son has had CF his entire life. Hes 19 and weighs about 100 lbs. He was recently been prescribed Marinol. His weight has steadily increased since he started the drug. Yes it is made from marijuana. It is expensive but I know it works. Ive never seen him eat 4 meals a day, until now. God, that looks good. If you can get your weight up to a tolerable level the sx isnt as bad. Its still bad but better bad.

It seems that many members are often having "bad" drug screens so again, here is some information on why your Test may be wrong. Medications & Substances Causing False Positives According to a report by the Los Angeles Times New Service, a study of 161 prescription and over the counter medications showed that 65 of them produced false positive results in the most widely administered urine test.

I was interested in the medical effects of regular marijauna use on the liver ? Are the effects more severe when a person has hepatitis C ?

Is this a treatment (or test) that uses tubes with the lidocaine or is it an injection? I thought the tubes had been used for quite sometime?

So, Rita, I just hope that they leave you soon, because they are rather freaky (the term I used with my PCP). I'm tired of dropping the soap in the shower and feeling like I have to be very very careful while chopping onions; heck, I seldom have the energy to do much cooking now anyway. Hopefully, this too shall pass, or at least lessen to a tolerable level :o), and soon, too! It's nice to meet you. Take care.

In the future, it would help if you posted your questions on your old post so that I can remember your story. All medicines have side effects so you have to weigh the benefits with the risks. Besides Zofran, there is Tigan, Compazine, Reglan, and Marinol. Also, that is not the entire list. Ginger is natural and that also might help. Are you just not hungry or are you nauseous too? Also, stress will increase your nausea and just from your post I can tell that you are very stressed.

Try using cannabis oil for ED. For this one, you want oil with as high a THC content as possible, no holds barred. THC is a vasodilator much like Viagra. Mix some with some veggie oil, apply topically, and apply a condom. All you need. Be careful taking the condom off- the oil is sticky. Mixing some veggie oil with the cannabis oil will thin it out and help things along if you wish. The mild anaesthetic qualites of the oil make one last longer too- like a desensitizer cream. Enjoy!

Megance can put on pounds but generally it puts on fat as opposed to muscle. Still it's part of an arnsenal you might use. Marinol is legal (I think) most everywhere, but of course ask your doctor. MyOwn, Don't really want to insert myself in this because I respect both of you. Similar to myself, Willows had a very difficult time on treatment and unlike myself did not SVR which must make it many times more difficult.

I think I remember you saying it was. Private doctors make their own rules on it, in CA it is legal for medicinal use. I go to pretty straight laced doctors and both mentioned using it for control of nausea on tx and one said it worked for pain. I have always thought Hmmmm over your docs position on it but it is probably Kaiser's position.
