does marinol have thc

Just to provide a little more detail on Marinol. Marinol is legal in the US and is available by prescription. It is not real marijuana but man-made or synthetic THC. THC is one of the psychoactive components in marijuana; however real marijuana has other chemical componds that Marinol does not such as CBD (cannabinoid) that isn't very psychoactive but helps significantly reduce inflammation, relaxes muscles, and relieves pain.

Medicare coverage depends on doctor's DIAGNOSIS which must be "cachexia related to cancer" along with dose not exceeding FDA label maximum for the diagnosis. I do not know the FDA rules. The "alternative" is just dronabinol, the generic name of marinol. Marinol is synthetic THC, an oil/liquid at room temp, but provided as gel tabs which must be kept refrigerated. Marinol is NOT the CBD discussed on TV for kids.

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?

m not dx with ms, but have other conditions where mmj ,not marinol, helps me greatly. mmj also helps me with the weird sx I've been having since Jan '09. Marinol is synthetic tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) one of many compounds found in the in the cannabis plant. I hope this helps. The Rest Here: http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/115748.

take a look and let me know how you like it. I really need some feedback as I have recommended it a few times. You have to have a little patience with it because like its maker - it tends to sprawl all over the place. It's http://jeffsaddmind.

I have a friend probably if not by the grace of God is in the latter stages of ovarian, colon cancer, she is very sick, has anybody tried marijuana for nauseau or any other sx with hep c and being ill during tx?

I know TONS of girls, including myself, who are around it a lot due to friends and they all have been fine with no thc in their system. You have to consume it somehow for it to get in your blood!

The few times I ever smoked MJ, where before I had CP, so I have no experience there. Personally, I didn't really like the way it made my respiratory tract feel. I have heard of THC in pill form, but haven't heard much about how well it works and apparently it's not widely used. I don't have a problem with anyone smoking pot. I actually think if they legalized it, they would have more resources to go after the serious drugs such as cocaine and meth.

They are hard to find but typically the doctor you would visit to get your MMJ license renewed would prescribe the opioids or refer you to another doctor that is MMJ Friendly. Another option is for you to ask the doctor for a prescription for Marinol...it is synthetic THC. I should mention that when my mother was dying from cancer, she said that the Marinol wasn't helping her eat, it was only the real marijuana that helped but things may be different for you. Good luck.

Do you know any physicians who use medical marijuana in their practice? They might have some idea of how to deal with the downsides, if anyone does. You also might try therapy, and see if you can't talk yourself out of it in the possibility it's your brain acting like the brain of someone who is chronically anxious. I hope this gets fixed. Peace.

I'd be willing to try it. I am one of those people who do use marijuana medicinally, although my state does not yet participate. It does help with MS symptoms, particularly the spacisity. The big plus about it is that it reduces the amount of narcotics that I have to use to help reduce the pain from MS and degenerative disk disease. The drawback to marijuana use, at least for me, is that I do not like the so-called euphoria. Go figure, I would be one of the weird ones.

Im wondering how to get marinol? Because if i was able to get marinol legaly then i wouldnt have to break the law and use marijuana. I have take some pain pills and other stuff but nothing works for me other then marijuana. It would be great if i didnt have to use marijuana and break the law, and could legaly use marinol and feel normal.

Does your father have Hepatitis C? I'm not entirely sure what you are asking but it sounds like the question is two fold. You can easily read the renal effect of these meds & how they are metabolized on line. I would talk to your father's doctor about the pain management strategy your father is following.

Kaul for your rapid response. I have friends who have become marijuana smokers or certified who are smoking. I have smoked with them but I do not want to smoke anymore or to become certified for the smell around the house with kids and on my clothing. It works and do relieve my pain. I am still trying to do sports and those knees of mine just pain along with the shoulder. I looking for a doctor in Las Vegas to write me a precription just to make a comparison.

I want and need to stop smoking pot but want to avoid the w/d's, need to work etc. It's my understanding Marinol can ease the symptoms considerably. Anyone know how to get it? I tried going to the Dr but he would not prescribe it off-label. Any suggestions?

The problem with prescribing marinol is that many chemo patients have trouble keeping ANYTHING down. Taking a pill for nausea is not helpful if it comes right back. When you are so sick that you cannot hold down your meds, smoking a little weed can give you relief. It doesn't take much, just a couple of tokes will quell the nausea and maybe give you a bit of an appetite.

It does help, but I have no idea what it will do to the trials and whether or not they will throw you out. Don't agree with taking more man made drugs over the counter or otherwise to counteract these horrible drugs we are on. Weed is natural, comes from the earth. It hasn't hurt me and when I feel really bad, smoking helps, not just with the eating, also the psychological effects. Talk to the people who you are going through the trials with and see what they say.

Is Marinol pills good to use in kids who have seizures from Chiari malformation type 1

I don't have a problem with marijuana used for medical purposes and if it helps a child not have seizures, it should be available to them.

this is probably something you should discuss with the human resources department. There are drugs like Marinol that are THC derivatives that doctors can Rx too, although some docs don’t prescribe it much. I can’t smoke that stuff any more; it makes me too, um… strange :o).

My neuro feels it can help spasticity and there are studies out of UCSD that prove this. His facility will not recommend the use, but he supports the use if a doctor outside his facility recommends it. In Colorado, it is legal (Amendment 20 to the Colorado Constitution) and the recommendation costs about $60 a year. I guess to address twopack, the idea is not to get "wasted" like highschool, but to get enough to function or sleep and reduce the prescription drugs.

They tried every other anti Nausea drug including Marinol which is suppose to have the same thing the in the MJ but it does not work. The MJ is the only thing that works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i am a type 1 diabetic and recently used pot, i smoked some of a joint with my friend at a party. my question is how long will the thc remain in my system? due to the fact i have a drug test next week for work and dont know if i can use a blocker or some product to remove the thc from my system and or if i need to use something like that? may or does anyone know anything about this or how i can remove the thc out within a week?
