What is 'Marinol'?

Marinol is synthetic THC. Back in the early '70s, the government came up with this drug and offered it to pharmaceutical companies. No one wanted it. Finally Unimed took it and in '81 or '82 they came out with Marinol, this drug that the government had actually discovered and manufactured. This was synthetic THC. This was supposed to be the answer where we don't need to smoke marijuana now for medical use because we have Marinol. Well Marinol, being that it is only one chemical, and it is the most psychoactive chemical, you can't titrate it like you can smoked cannabis. To where if I have muscle tension and I take a couple of hits of cannabis, and I put it out and I wait, and I go, "Well no, not yet." I take a couple more hits, and I put it out and I wait. And I go, "No, no, not yet." Take another couple hits and I wait and I go, "Yeah, yeah, that's it. I feel better now." You don't need any more. Your body's telling you, "That's what I needed." Where on a pill, you take the whole pill. So, all of a sudden, if it does have a reaction to you, you go from one to 20.
