Marinol is around. Maybe not a massive commercial success, but I can tell you a lot of that is because older faculty in hospitals have biases against this kind of thing. Younger fellows seem to be OK with prescribing it when appropriate.
- PaulHoule 8y agoMarinol is THC extract so far as I understand so it still counts as a natural cannabis product.
- messo 8y agoSativex is an extract of cannabis flowers, Marinol is a synthetic cannabinoid.
- ninnie 8y agoMarinol is a synthesized form of THC, not a novel distinct cannabinoid. The novel cannabinoids making headlines because they’re sending people to the emergency room, when weed is so famously safe in overdose, are dangerous (at least partly) because they bind more strongly to the CB1 receptors than THC does. Not sure how people generally distinguish between between “synthetic” in these two senses.
