Default THC Pills - how do you feel about them?

What do you think about them? Are they not cleaner form of THC completely without other toxins?

Somehow I feel that comparing THC pills to Marijuana is like comparing whole foods to fast processed foods. Whole foods have many additives that our bodies have adjusted to over hundred of thousand of years of evolution and they keep our bodies from getting obese and etc. Do you think the same could be applied to THC pills being the "pure" processed form and can possible cause harm? I am not too sure because Marijuana additives may be harmful unlike healthy additives in whole foods.

You are reaaaaallly grasping for conclusions, lol.

First off, the "pure THC" pills I think you are referring to are not actually "pure THC". It is synthetic... i.e. man-made.

Those "THC" pills, in my opinion, are kind of like some of the artificial sweetners that are chemically almost identical, but then 10 years later we find out they cause cancer or something.

The only reason THC pills even exist is because you can't patent nature... but you can patent synthesized nature.

I've said this before. They say marijuana has absolutely no medical use. However, they want to cut up, and cook up some pill just so they could make extra profit out of it. I am not for it, I hate it, I will drop kick it if I had a chance.

Many medical marijuana patients have used it before. It's not immediate, and they say it doesn't even compare to cannabis. Why pay a hefty price on something you can have for free? So fuck 'em.

So THC pills are not nearly as potent as Marijuana? Do they give off a different high?

See, I was going to make some but natural way - olive oil + weed in a capsule and it does f*ck you up!

Marinol is not like smoking marijuana at all. I have tried marinol, and it wasn't good. I barely felt any effects at all.

Synthetic crap. It says it makes you stomach hurt. Smoking doesn't. Oddly, VAPING does! After a good vape session I had some stomach hurt and yet everyone says its not the herb. As soon as I quit - no more pain.

Stomach complications happen in a very small percentage of users of Marinol.
As better as marijuana is, marinol still has great benefits compared to other methods of preventing chemo-induced nausea and to stimulate hunger in AIDS patients. Marijuana is simply stronger and has more branched benefits. Marinol is not "synthetic crap" to most people who use it now, in fact it is a life-saver to some. Believe it or not, smoking is too strong for some people and they REQUEST to have marinol instead. On the other hand oddly enough, you have people saying marinol is too strong because you can't control your dose, and they request marijuana.

It has a lot to do with the patient, and what they are trying to help/prevent. Marijuana is going to win out in almost every circumstance, but there is still a small percentage who would still take marinol if both options were available.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the only time that marinol is worth a damn is when you eat at least 5 of them and chase them with a joint.
