marinol

Avatar n tn Marinol is legal in all 50 states from what I know, but is only available by prescription and is used almost exclusively for cancer patients. Medical marijuana is legal in 20 states and D.C. but not in Mississippi.
Avatar m tn 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.
338489 tn?1215558109 then only available in the states that have medical marjuana He also mentioned f you are lucky enough to be living in a medically legal state... Marinol is looking promising with helping with spasticity...
1683709 tn?1370709601 I live in a "medically" legal state -- Maine. There are two states where it's completely legal (I think maybe Washington & Colorado)? I believe each "medically legal" states has it's own requirements regarding travel. I don't think you can travel into the country with it. At least in Maine, I think you have to be able to present your prescription to a dispensary that you've contacted well in advance. Things have to be in place BEFORE you get here.
Avatar f tn People that do not know what they are talking about should not say a word until they do their own research. Marinol can be prescribed by any doctor, and it is legal. Stop giving advise until you know what you are talking about. That is the problem. Sandman2 do your research. People depend on advice and yours is wrong.
461838 tn?1255790216 The problem with nausea meds like zofran, and pills like marinol, is that during cancer chemo the nausea can be so bad that the patient cannot tolerate oral meds. I tried prescription nausea meds but they were horribly expensive and not particularly effective, even when I could hold them down.
Avatar f tn 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.
620048 tn?1358018235 It is legal where I live but have not felt it is necessary for me to get a medical marijuana card ($200 a year) stating you can cultivate, posses and consume marijuana...I have tried marijuana (recommended by a friend and NOT a doctor) that it will help my pain and/or muscle problems...It did not help in my situation so I have not gave it another thought....BUT, if it helps others (because everyone is different) then it should be available for people that are truely suffering...
Avatar f tn Sad but true it is legal in some states in the USA I know a girl that went to nc and I had it done I was shocked I'm mean if u r tat for along and don't want that baby let someone who wants a baby have it
917763 tn?1311628896 Medical marijuana is not legal in our state. I spoke to my PA about getting Marinol for the awful nausea I had, and she said it's usually prescribed to cancer patients, and would probably be questioned by the insurance company. Instead, she prescribed Zofran, which is also used by cancer patients, and is very very expensive without insurance.
Avatar m tn 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.
1056851 tn?1318720978 Apparently the state of California has been too loose with distribution and this is the example the naysayers kept pointing to; however other states where medical marijuana is legal (not very many) have learned from these mistakes and are working on tighter regulations, which is encouraging. I also live in Canada and am grateful medical marijana has been available for designated conditions for the past 10 years or so.
Avatar f tn ) I live in Washington where even recreational usage is de-facto decriminalized. Medical use is legal for most chronic illness. Marinol is now only schedule III, which is less than most opioids (which Dr.s have given me without batting an eye). Part of it is that I see a psychiatrist, and have had to undergo evaluation for transplant. Both assesments have deemed me an exceptionally low risk for addiction. (In addition, there's been no drug abuse, alcoholism, etc.
1162446 tn?1262804903 The laziness it can cause really can be a problem with the youth of our country and people in general, however, people who are going to sit around and get high all day, are probably going to do it whether MJ is legal or not. Opium was also primarily smoked before they made it into the pain relievers we have today. I would hope they could make a class of THC based drugs that might be able to help people in the same way.
Avatar n tn t be a concern. Even for a job drug screen...unless you perform a job where use of that kind of med is absolutely prohibited....if you test + and have a valid current prescription, it isn't a problem. Just a sneaking suspicion, but if you are planning on seeking less than "honest" ways of obtaining this med (ie online, etc)...be VERY careful. What you find on the street and online can often be NOT the same thing....
Avatar f tn Usually there is a law about how many years you can have between you. I think its 2 in my state. So if you are 16 and he is 18 its legal but if he is 19 or over its illegal. And yes if he got you pregnant and you are under age, or the other way, if he is under and you are over, then the person who is over age would be prosecuted for statutory rape.
Avatar f tn Is it of your opinion that Marinol can be an alternative drug to treat Multiple Sclerosis? I cannot handle shots, and I know there are many side effects from the shots.
7458937 tn?1391882099 Well my last straw was just hit. It's time I leave my home. I'm 17 and 8 months old. 11 weeks pregnant and I live in Virginia. I'm going bonkers. I've read online but I really don't know where go start. All I know is I have to get out and soon. I can't take this stress and nor can my baby. Where do I even start?
Avatar f tn The state had argued the law denied benefits such as Medicaid to gay married couples in Massachusetts, where same-sex unions have been legal since 2004. Tauro agreed and said the act forces Massachusetts to discriminate against its own citizens in order to be eligible for federal funding in federal-state partnerships. The act "plainly encroaches" upon the right of the state to determine marriage, Tauro said in his ruling on a lawsuit filed by state Attorney General Martha Coakley.
Avatar m tn Marinol is just pharmaceutical MJ, and docs cannot prescribe it for w/ds. I agree with the others, ride it out. Anything you're feeling won't harm you....just just have to get through it. Wanting to turn to another drug to ease the w/ds from the first drug is how people stay stuck on the merry-go-round.
