have been prescribed it, after looking it over i don't want to take it i may aswell smoke cannabis as usual, if i pick it up, i don't plan to really take it, and all my excitement has been for nothing, and has now fled, unless anyone can provide me with reasons to the contrary i feel like this isn't even worth the trouble i may aswell toke, im worried about it impairing me cognitively, as when i use cannabis im able to abstain when i need to be sober, and it seems cesamet isn't all it was made out to be. although I have yet to actually try the medication.

Whaaaat.... what were you prescribed it for? That's awesome! Now you can get a job for any company you want and they can't say shieeet about your THC-PEE

I bet it cost you (or your insurance ;)) a pretty penny though, eh?

You havent told us why you are prescribed it or anything about your situation. You didnt really even tell us why you dont want to take it. Is it too expensive? Is what ways do you think it will let you down?

its prescribed for nausea and pain, and as a sedative; its replacing a variety of medications, i hope. It isn't a first line choice, however i find myself smoking far too much cannabis as it is to try deal with basically the same set of symptoms that cesamet was prescribed for, essentially the most important thing about it is that it will be able to deal with my need for sedation and keep me calm and feeling half decent. Price isn't the issue as I am insured and already spend toomuch on medications this is all relative though, the issue is the fact that it is synthetic and that it isn't bud.

what you maybe should consider about me and my pot use is that, I require the higher cbd strains like skunk, and I actually experience undesirable effects from more cerebral strains high in thc, I am seeking a calming effect however my mind is really my most valuable asset and i cannot let it slip away, so that is my other concern, the way that cesamet will effect me cognitively, im not looking to get impaired, im looking to get by

note that i have yet to try this medication as i have 2-3 days left until i am able to so-until that im interested hearing about anyones experience with cesamet, and the essential point to take away from this is that its prescribed to act as a sedative on which i will be able to function and be productive

take care

Cesamet is not the same as Marinol (delta-9-THC).

If you find it useful then that's good but I think it's a poor substitute for the real thing.
 
with a bio availability of 20% i would rather vape some good nug ( if your looking for something as healthy as a pill)
 
How do you know it's bad if you didn't even take it?Just because it's synthetic doesn't mean it's bad. Shit it's got to be better than spice. I'd take them, then if it isn't enough smoke a bowl. Take them and tell us how it compares to weed.
 
I will pick up the medication first thing in the morning and will have ingested cesamet in aprox 12 hours from now, il post back upon ingestion with details
 
goodmorning, and isn't it just a greaaaaaaat morning folks, lets just say the makers of cesamet have done something right. fingers crossed
 
im not sure of cesamet does this. but i know that the synthetic cannabinoids can lead to some pretty nasty addiction to due the fact that unlike marijuana the synthetics arent partial agonists and can cause some pretty sever withdrawals. might be looking into OP. glad the pills seem to be doing the trick for you though.

None of the single cannabinoid pharmaceuticals can even compare in efficacy to cannabis in it's natural unadulterated state. Even the way it's administered is inferior - i.e. vaporized cannabis vs oral cannabis particularly for many who suffer from nausea and even pain to a lesser extent. The best mechanism for taking cannabinoids they've achieved is Sativex, which ironically is a whole cannabis plant extract anyway, although again, the way it's administered - sublingual - is far far inferior to vaporization. It's a nice idea, in that sublingual cannabis tinctures will kick in in 10-15 minutes, but it doesn't work very well compared to the real thing.

The only advantage of it is that it's legal.
 
well ironically, i am now completely unable to obtain dried cannabis, so this couldn't have come at a better time, however i find what the previous poster said about cesamet possibly being addictive by virtue of being a full agonist concerning, i took first dose at 930 and by 11 i felt relieved, however I am starting to think about redosing, but am hesitant to use more right away, because i think i ought to take it really easy with this stuff, I'd like to stop smoking totally as it isn't cheap for me and at times can be excessive, i might take another cesamet this afternoon as i havnt eaten yet and i would like to, regardless this stuff might be best used only in the evening for sleep ideally, but nothing i plan ever goes according, so il see how it goes but will try to use as little as possible, and what a bitch that i can't restock a dried cannabis supply at the moment.
 
Just wondering, does Cesamet (Nabilone) give you immunity from cannabis/marinol (THC) positive drug tests? I know we don't do drug testing questions here, and I'm not asking how to pass a drug test. This is more of a MMJ patient employment rights question.
 
Oh, I see. Considering that Marinol is only CIII while Nabilone is CII in the US, he should be prescribed Marinol next, imo. That way he is immune from being discriminated while partaking in some real medicinal marijuana.
 
I wouldn't say he's immune from being discriminated against, especially if the employer is particularly ignorant. They just wouldn't be able to acknowledge a positive THC urine drug screen was a factor in deciding not to employ the person. If already employed it might be a different matter IMO. I would imagine it would be difficult to explain away to some employers even if there is a valid reason. You know what some people are like.
 
Yup, "THC is THC! I don't give a damn if God himself prescribed you that devil drug, we don't want your stoner kind working for us!"

These are sad realities in today's world. The people saying that probably unwind with a 12 pack each night... 8)
