I was not sure if anyone has heard of these pills or not. I have a real bad nerve disorder called RSD, it is painful as hell.

I live in Illinois so i am not on medical marijuana that you smoke but a pill instead.

The pills do not work like the weed does, I don't get messed up and shit but helps take my burning away. Now i did give 1 to a buddy of mine and he said they really messed him up. He said that the pills are very powerful. messed him up enough that he doesnt want anymore of them.

Pill is called Cesamet.



Have a great day
Later

"Why is this medication prescribed?

Nabilone is used to treat nausea and vomiting caused by cancer chemotherapy in people who have already taken other medications to treat this type of nausea and vomiting without good results. Nabilone is in a class of medications called cannabinoids. It works by affecting the area of the brain that controls nausea and vomiting.

How should this medicine be used?

Nabilone comes as a capsule to take by mouth. It is usually taken with or without food two to three times a day during a cycle of chemotherapy. Treatment with nabilone should begin 1 to 3 hours before the first dose of chemotherapy and may be continued for up to 48 hours after the end of the chemotherapy cycle. Take nabilone at around the same times every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take nabilone exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Your doctor will probably start you on a low dose of nabilone and may gradually increase your dose if needed.
Nabilone helps control nausea and vomiting caused by cancer chemotherapy when taken as directed. Always take nabilone according to the schedule prescribed by your doctor even if you are not experiencing nausea or vomiting.
Nabilone may be habit-forming. Do not take a larger dose, take it more often, or take it for a longer period of time than prescribed by your doctor. Call your doctor if you find that you want to take extra medication"

sounds crazy bro I got in a bad snowboarding accident. I had the worst kind of concussion (12 on a scale of 1-10 the dr. said) and I had a grand maul seisure. that was in march of 2008 i still have nausea, anxiety and bad eating/appetite issues. but nothing as bad as what I used to deal with. I'd be interested in trying that. But I would guess I'd probably prefer smoking med. cannabis.

wanted to see the difference between someone who has no pain to someone that does, Yes i give him 1! And i didn't even charge him.......isnt that something!

And the difference is that if you don't have nerve pain it does mess you up like weed but otherwise takes the some burning away.

I pay 300 bones for 20 pills so its not a friend giveaway. Thanks for your concern Jesus!

Totally true, not everyone can grow them. I tried growing 3x but they were nothing but failed attempts. I envy those people with successful growing skills; they can always have them at a lesser cost.

i'd have to disagree with that. anyone can do anything as long as they are physicaly able and are trained to do so...

the thing with prescribed/pharmaceutical drugs i that you are paying a big ass company. no offence to anyone whom needs to take these drugs. i prefer taking care of my own medicine. marinol is literally just a way to add to the already exuberant amount of money in the pockets of the rich assholes in the CEO position's in the companies. "Hmmm dj it seems like you have a bad taste in your mouth about this?" Yes I do, due to the fact that these "new age" drgs are nothing more than a FDA approved excuse to make money. Think about our "money" structure as a MLM (multi level marketing) scheme. This IS EXACTLY WHAT OUR SYSTEM IS!!! The USA is ONE of the only counties where being a doctor is a money making profession.
