"Funny they never tried Marinol dontcha think?
All this talk about medical marijuana and there is an FDA approved option nobody ever references.
Why do you think that is?" TD #797
a) No.
This is a Drug War topic. So Marinol is irrelevant to the topic of Trump Administration moves to end legal marijuana because Marinol is a legal patented pharmaceutical, and marijuana is a natural unpatentable herb.
b) Millions in our nation and around the world prefer natural treatments to artificial drugs.
c) Marijuana is typically inhaled, absorbed to psychotropic levels via the lungs. As a result marijuana is faster acting than Marinol, which in vivid contrast is absorbed through the digestive tract.
d) Because of "c", marijuana can be dosed far more precisely, the patient only taking as much as is needed; whereas Marinol must be consumed in the dose predetermined by the pharmaceutical manufacturer, who in all likelihood never met the patient.
Many thanks for asking TD.
You have helped, no matter how inadvertently, to clarify an important distinction in our federal government's War against the People, under the guise of a War on this useful herb, marijuana / hemp / cannabis.
