Marinol anyone?

Discussion in 'Experienced Cannabis Enthusiasts' started by hankles, Oct 10, 2007.

  1. Has anyone ever used marinol before? how is it compared to normal smoke? i've heard its just as good, some better, some worse. And also any advice on what to tell the doc would be nice ;). All i'll say if anyone wonders about legality is that i'm in Wisconsin (dane county). Thanks!
     
  2. how much do you smoke a day? what kinds of weed do you smoke? if you answered alot and very good weed, marinol is not a good idea. I myself smoke organics many many times a day, and taking marinol did nothing for me. Only if you take, lets say maybe 10mg would it be effective. taking anything lower such as 4mg, 6mg did absolutely nothing to me.
     
  3. My cousin used to get these from a friend who's brother had the virus.. At the time my cousin was battling his cancer, and his friend gave him a handful of these to try before I took up my growing.

    If you are a true marijuana smoker, or ever smoked a good bud in your life I don't think these will satisfy ya.. Maybe with a person who as never experienced a true high/stone it may work, but when your anticipating a high like from smoking you'll be let down with marinol IME.

    I have a higher tolerance to begin with, but i took two round orange 10mg marinol balls and it was weak. Pretty much felt nothing, maybe a slight body high, but weak.... Nothing like smoking marijuana IMO. Like the body high without all the euphoria and heightened senses/happy feelings smoking good herb will bless ya with.
     
  4. Thank you. Marinol isn't THC, it's Dronabinol, the cannabinoid mostly responsible for appetite increase. Take enough or have a low enough tolerance, sure, you'll catch a buzz, but I'd rather have some Sativex if you're talking about synthetic products related to the wonderful herb we all smoke.
     
  5. They are horrible, and are nothing like the real thing, from both a recreational and medical point of view.

    The couple of people I knew who were prescribed these for a medical condition, and gave them a try, went back to smoking herb for the medicinal effects pretty quickly.
     
  6. I heard marinol is actually supposed to hit you like a train, but the high is more unpleasant than regular smoking. It makes sense though because all marinol is is synthetic THC, whereas bud has the many other cannabinoids and terpenes to regulate the high.
     
  7. I've been a daily smoker for about...shit...has it been 15 years already. I should really quit...LOL

    Anyhow, I was out of town for a family funeral and therefore couldn't partake in my daily regimen...however, my family member who had passed took Marinol everyday and had a bottle of about 50 left...so I figured he couldn't use them anymore, so I would. I think they were 10mg balls, not 100% sure though.

    IMO - they are nice for taking the edge off. I was by no means high and would have rather smoked a bowl of schwag instead of marinol, but since i couldn't...it worked to calm my nerves. I took like 2 or 3 of them at a time.

    In closing I'd say, if they are free...hell yeah, take them and enjoy...but don't expect it to be like smoking a bowl. If you are planning on paying for them...don't waste your money, you'll be disappointed.
     
  8. They are weak, maybe one of those little electrical trains.
     
  9. If by train you mean...
