I was curious because Marinol is approved as an appetite stimulant, while nabilone didn't seem to be at first glance, apparently it is approved to treat weight loss in anorexia and AIDS patients. We do have nabilone in the UK. Apparently it's a synthetic THC analogue, while Marinol is derived from the Cannabis plant. They're both used as anti-emetics when more conventional options have failed.
