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...
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.
Avatar n tn Your comments about how it's grown and where it's grown is what my husband's oncologist was talking about. It has to do with the molds, what was in the ground, weed killers, plant food, etc. He said there was no regulatory growing of it, and all the bad stuff the plants had access to remain in it and the smoking of it is processes through the liver as well as the lungs. He said it is common when he has a very strange growing cancer that the patient smoked a lot of pot.
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 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.
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.
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...
1056851 tn?1318720978 I don't really agree with it for the most part because a lot of people abuse it. I know people addicted to weed. I know people who have anxiety issues etc and claims it helps them and I would say it makes them more paranoid. I don't agree with smoking- weed, or cigarettes. I have watched someone die from lung cancer it is not good way to go. that said... As a cancer patient I could see how it could help. My nausea was extreme I couldn't eat for weeks.
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.
Avatar m tn I personally do not like to prescribe marinol unless necessary. To manage a condition effectively it is advised to treat the primary condition along with symptomatic treatment and pain control. I would suggest seeing an orthopedician and if required a pain management specialist for a detailed evaluation and suggestion of an appropriate management plan. Hope this is helpful. Take care!
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.
163305 tn?1333668571 I say if it helps, it should be available, period! It cannot be any more dangerous than the side effects that other drugs do.
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 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 Hi there, Welcome to the forum. Without researching, I really don't know what marinol is. I've not heard of it, sorry. Before I started taking a DMD I was worried about the side affects too, but seems there is always something to content with when you take a med. It's a very hard (was for me) personal decision to make and too a lot of weighing benefits to risks, etc. I respect your decision. How are you feeling symptom wise with your MS?
Avatar m tn My primary doctor told me when you have a catheterization done if they decide to do a Bi pass (on the spot), they wait until a Surgeon can be located and then you are told of the Bi pass decision and surgery AFTER you wake up. Quesion 1. Is this true. 2. How do you control what surgeon you want. 3. How do you control the decision to even do, the bi pass. Please answer I'm facing this situation shortly, Thanks!
Avatar n tn No offense to you whatsoever, but something just isn't adding up here. First of all...why are you asking about what would show up in a urine test? If you are getting the Xanax Rx'ed, then it shouldn'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.
5242949 tn?1365498360 Sounds like the Dr actually did you a favor. Perhaps it is time to enter a program/rehab to get off everything. Your health status will continue to decline with continued meth use. I know this to be true as a very close friend is going they the same thing. There are no legal issues at all. IMO. Take heed and get into treatment my Friend. Good luck!
Avatar f tn As a christian and my personal views on this subject, based on what the bible says or does not say , is beside the point. From the standpoint of the law and equality for all in this country, gays (I still dont know where that name came from?), deserve equal rights under the law. Or make it unlawful to be gay. That simple. But once you recognize it as an alternative lifestyle, then you must provide equal rights under the law.
