marijuana in a pill...
i've actually never smoked weed, but marinol came up as a suggestion (maybe not taken too seriously by either my pdoc or me) for appetite stimulation and nausea. i've heard it has good results for cancer or other really ill patients. i coudln't believe the doctor was actually suggesting it. my sister who is a med student joked that i should ask for it just a few days before.
so... has anyonen tried this? price and insurance-wise, is it hard to get? i read that it is one of the few drugs to be upgraded (downgraded?) from a schedule II controlled substance to a schedule III. i'm on stuff like adderall and percocet... can it be harder to get than those? what about tolerance or addiction? anyone know anything about this drug? thanks!
