It's not the same. Not quite, anyway.

It's not. The pill doesn't re-produce detla-9 tetrahydracannabinol, well not exactly anyways. The only place where delta-9 tetrahydracannabinol, which is what gets you high. (well, technically, research shows more and more that delta-8 may cause it as well)

Sorry I messed up my first post (I was high)

What I meant to say is that they do produce delta-9 THC, but it doesn't get you high. It's used, as in the case of marinol, to reduce the nausea and vomiting that is sometimes caused in the case of AIDS and other such viruses or diseases.

MARINOL® (dronabinol) is a synthetic version of a naturally occurring compound known
as delta-9-THC. Delta-9-THC stimulates appetite and reduces nausea and vomiting by binding to special receptors found in your nervous system.


MARINOL® has been proven to be safe and generally well tolerated. The most frequently reported side effects during clinical studies involved the nervous system and included dizziness, feelings of exaggerated happiness, paranoid reaction, drowsiness, and thinking abnormally.

Important note: Be sure that there is a responsible person nearby when you first start taking MARINOL® (or if your health care professional decides to change your dose) in case any of these side effects occur. Do not drive a car or operate machinery until you know how MARINOL® affects you. Exercise caution when taking sedatives, hypnotics, or other mind-altering substances, or drinking alcohol while taking MARINOL®. There is a potential for additive central nervous system effects such as dizziness and drowsiness.

The effects you get from MARINOL® are determined in large part by the amount of the medication you take. These effects can vary considerably from one patient to another.
Your health care professional will work closely with you to determine the dose of MARINOL® that is best for you.

Your MARINOL® dosage may need to be adjusted to maximize its benefits or to decrease any side effects.

Depending on your dose, you’ll often find that these types of side effects (if they occur at all) generally decrease or stop after you’ve taken MARINOL® for 1 to 3 days. Your health care professional may suggest other ways (such as reducing the dose or taking MARINOL® in the evening or at bedtime) to minimize any side effects you may notice.


Next time I'll make sure to re-read my post before pushing that little button.
