based on your statements. stick with your use of marijuana. marinol is not marijuana and only contains synthetic thc based in seasame oil. every specie of marijuana contains varying levels of thc & some 60 cbd's or cannaboids. cbd's affect the cns more so than the brain. the calming affect is more the cbd's than thc.
but...

Thankyou so much for the info. With this illness comes much agitation and aggression and he has become more addicted to the use of marijuana just to be able to maintain a calmer day to day existence.and to keep his appetite .Unfortunately we dont live in a state with approved medicinal marijuana..does anyone know.. do you actually have to reside in a state that does approve medicinal marijuana in order to get a Dr's script for it..
I can relate a recent Wisconsin Supreme Court decision in the case of a patient that has a Rx for medicinal cannabis that resides in California and was caught with possession in Wisconsin. The Supreme Court of Wisconsin dismissed charges and upheld reciprocity of interstate medical laws.
Cannabis is not addictive, maybe dependent (difference) because of the profound benefits to the patient. A person suffers so much, then they get the perfect medication for their body chemistry - bing they dont want to get rid of it. However, there are ppl with addictive personalities. In the 4% of those cases, it doesnt matter what the substance is.
In 1988, research found that mammals, humans included, have cbd receptors in the brain, limbic system, and cns. a few fish and reptiles have them as well. The USGov't has a patent on certain CBDs for neuroprotectants (parkinsons, alzheimers, etc) and yes even antioxidant properties. It seems the cannabis plant was made for use by our human bodies.
