My husband has had Alzheimer’s for about 8 years. He was unable to carry on a conversation or do anything for himself. All the meds prescribed by his neurologist turned him into a slack jawed slobbering zombie. A little over a week ago my family doctor wrote the prescription for Marinol. It is legal in all 50 states and is used primarily for nausea associated with chemo, but there are plenty of studies validating its use for Alzheimer’s. It is beneficial for agitation, aggression, migraines, inhibiting plaque buildup in the brain, loss of appetite, weight loss, restlessness, pacing – all problems with Alzheimer’s. His comprehension has improved. He has gained 10 pounds. He has greater clarity. He never smoked a joint in his life and I would not want him to. The pill works and dosage can be regulated. Marinol has its uses.

Addiction of any sort is bad. And quite unfortunately today many people are addicted to dangerous substances such as Marijuana and alcohol. Needless to say it should be taken up instantly and should try and get rid of this habit right away. The more delay we make the more it will give pain and soon a point will reach when death will be staring on the face.

Im on Marinol,, but my insurance wont cover it so I pay 60$ for 10 pills.. Im a student and Im on probation,, Im just waiting to see how my next drug test pans out…
I smoke and I smoke because I feel like I will get away with it..
THC is THC right ?? A positive UA is a positive UA !!
If you have a perscription for Marinol and your PO knows that then you should be off the hook plain and simple…..
I have HIV and Im close to havng AIDS,, Im not responding well to the Meds im on… At this point legal systems all over the world should go FUCK THEMSELVES when it comes to this issue..

I remember when I was going through chemo treatment and the doctors offered me marinol for the nausea and vomiting. I was only 17 years old and very sheltered. When they asked me if I would like marinol, All I thought was that it was associated with marijuana. At that time I thought marijuana was really bad so I told the doctors no. I would rather throw up and get all the chemo drugs out of my system. Thinking back, I would of proable had a easier time during treatment if I would of said yes on marinol.

ive had an ongoing back pain problem for about 5 years now and up until about a year ago had been treating myself quite succesfully with ganja. unfortunately im now on probation and have to take piss tests 3 times a week! obviously thats way too frequent to try and use a masking agent or any other method so ive just been baring the pain lately. long story short i dont like opiate pain killers (which are the only other thing that works) and i live in ohio so the only med marijuana is in pill form ie marinol etc. and seems to be fairly difficult to get. can someone anyone point me in the direction of a doc that could help me with a prescription please???? i really dont wanna start an addictive relationship with opiates but im gettin to where i cant hardly get out of bed in the morning im in so much pain and im only 25! its really sad that harmful ganja from the earth is demonized and potent deadly narcotics are encouraged but that is the world we live in my friends…. if anyone can help please post below or e mail me at anniespoo@hotmail.com thanks yall peace love and smokiness
