Marinol (Dronabinol) is a synthetic formulation of the THC isomer Tetrahydrocannabinol (∆9 -THC-C5). It is a generic medicine and has been available for many years. Dronabinol is used to treat loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting associated with AIDS and cancer. Like cannabis Dronabinol also carries a risk of developing psychosis but being a pill it is easier to control the dose; the smallest dose is 2.5mg.
With Dronabinol grandma will not be exposed to the 500+ mysterious chemicals in weed or to the 110 known toxins included among the 2,575 chemicals in marijuana smoke.
It is a safer alternative! And as a generic medication Dronabinol has a more compassionate price than cannabis!
Cesamet (Nabilone) is similar to Marinol (Dronabinol).
