I was on Marinal for several years. The only thing it did for me was to make me hungry...there was very little of the buzz you get with pot (so I hear). I just stopped taking it because Dr. Kerr felt it was adding to my fatigue. I did not feel like I lost anything when i gave it up. Rob in New

Can you tell us why you made the switch from the Marinol to the Sativex, considering the cost? Are either covered by your insurance? Sativex works faster, longer, less euphoria and just a better experience over all. Maninol is covered medicare drug plan. Sativex is not covered anywhere
