They give one of the kids I work with Marinol, the gee-sorry-kiddo-it-won't-make-you-high-but-maybe-you'll-quit-puking-your-guts-out-from-the-chemo stuff. It works like a charm... And believe you me, he figures out how to get himself high with it. Just a few extra pills a day when you're on treatment and it's golden. I don't begrudge him any of it. He's injesting poison that requires universal precautions to even handle his body fluids because he's toxic to the rest of us. For those people when nothing else works and they're dying anyway can it really be that bad? This kid's going to be lucky to last another year seeing that they gave him a month, tops, in January. C'mon, now. It really improves his mood, appetite and memory. He even has fun once in awhile. The kid's ADHD beyond a lot of what I've seen before but somehow manages to function perfectly well, if not better, on the Marinol. And yet the docs are afraid to prescribe it.

I've used it and never really got anything out of it until brownies a few weeks ago. Whoo, man. Decriminalize it, legalize it, just prescribe it.
