Marinol makes 60% of the people that take it
more nauseous and does not impact lack of appetite.
There are no drugs that are as effective as it for all the other benefits, for some of these benefits there are no drugs that help like it does.
The AMA did some studies thirty years ago, there are three that still get government marijuana from that study. The effects were so positive that the study was halted and the AMA will not discuss it because of outside political pressure.
AMA representatives were on the Montel show, he uses due to his MS, he brought two of these three test subjects on... the reps refused to speak on the medical benefits of marijuana and the myths for the rest of the show.
