Marinol (30mg) - Firs Time - Blown Away!

So this little Marinol adventure started with my procuring of six 5mg brown cocoa puff looking pills (30mg total). They were marked "um" and had a score around the whole thing. The first thing I noticed was the odd shape of this pill. It was perfectly spherical which is pretty uncommon among abusable prescription drugs. Now real quick before I get into the trip report I want to just say I know doing drugs in school is a pretty bad idea but I don't really care at the moment. Also to give you an idea of my cannabis tolerance / experience I smoke almost everyday, a few bowls per day of usually pretty good stuff (not exotic name brands but good ole' "headies" =D ).

The story begins as I arrive at school at about 7:48 and walk straight to the bathroom to pop all 6 of these suckers. I haven't eaten anything for breakfast besides for a granola bar as I wanted to keep an empty stomach for these. 1 Down, 2 Down, 3 Down and before you know it all six were down the hatch. I'm feeling kind of anxious because from what I had read 30mg was a pretty high dose, but I figured I had a high THC tolerance and this wouldnt' be too intense... boy was I in for a surprise!

I'm going to skip ahead a few hours here because up until about 3rd period (T+~2:00) nothing noticeable had taken effect. Now this is where it begins getting interesting. I'm sitting here in physics class and I notice my mouth begin to become pretty dry and my appetite also rising dramatically. In fact I got so hungry I couldnt' wait for lunch next period, I had to leave class and buy a bag of popcorn in the snack room down the hall. After I eat my popcorn I begin to feel really hungry and simply can't wait for lunch!

I arrive in the lunch room and the sight of all my good friends just makes me crack up. While I'm waiting in line for my food my friends do the whole "Dood, your eyes are so bad!" thing as I proceed to explain that I hadn't smoked anything, besides for my morning square, all day! (Which was not a lie ;-) ) After buying my food and sitting down at the table I just get exponentionally more giddy as the period progresses. By the end of the period I am just laughing out loud at pretty much anything and am simply put, super stoned!

One of my real good buddies with whom I always smoke told me he hasn't seen me this high in a long time. I was most definitely lifted but as the bell rang to go to 5th period a wave of paranoia swept over me. I realized I was way too high to go to class, but I had no choice. I realized I also didn't smell like weed for obvious reasons and that seemed to bring my anxious feelings down a lot.

The rest of the day consisted of me just simply being high as hell until about 8th period when the effects began to wear off considerably. I was left pretty beat like you would feel a few hours after a bunch of middie bowls.

Compared to the normal weed high it was definitely more intense and the duration was significantly longer (which I enjoyed a great deal!). I can't really place a finger on any other specific differences but it wasn't exactly the same type of high either if you know what I mean. It was more akin to an eaten marijuana high (hash brownies, fire crackers, etc.)

Overall I'd highly recommend it to any fan of cannabis! Some people say they barely feel anything from Marinol in regard to a high I say just take a large enough dose. We all know delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol is extremely phsycoactive and 30mg seems to be a great dose. After today's experiment however, I would never take 30mg in school again, it was a bit too intense and even uncontrollable at times. In the end it was great fun though!

Awesome report! Marinol is one drug you don't hear much about as far as trip reports go, so this info is very interesting and useful.

I've heard that Marinol causes really bad side effects compared to whole marijuana, so bad that some patients have to discontinue treatment. I guess everybody's different!
 
I think the side effects are that it gets you high. The psychedelic effects are unwanted side effects in many patients.
 
Ok so im chillin here in physics and im pretty high. My idea about having to eat something to get it to absorb correctly seems to be true
 
I had several bottles of these a few years ago. I was one popular stoner for those few weeks. You really need to smoke some herb with these to REALLY appreciate marinol. You will be on your ass for a bit. Is like smoking whilst eating potent ganjafood. 30mg is healthy dose too. Color me jealous.
 
So you had smoked before this? I have heard mixed reports about the effectiveness of this. I suspect it takes a lot to get anything because you are just taking THC with out the pyrolysis, or the preparation of a 'canna-butter' type product.

Do you think you may have got more out of this because you had already smoked earlier in the day?
 
Man, I took marinol once and it floored me! Went to see Lord of the Rings with my girlfriend and her mom. I was waiting in line with her mom, tripping balls. I was so high during the movie, I blacked out at one point. Woke up and felt better. I had a low tolerance at the time, so that prob had something to do with it.
 
Haha Schwein I was no where near incapacitated. I was really high and almost got really paranoid which was scary because we all know how it can get sometimes during school where you think everyone knows. but I realized there is no weed to smell because I didn't smoke any I just popped some pills =D
 
Incapacitated in the "weed" sense, you know. Imagine if you smoked a decent joint or afew bonghits or whatever and then dropped 30mg. I was giving regular stoners anywhere between 5-15mg they'd smoke their fill ans after 20-30 minutes they would be glued to a couch, heavily stoned for at least 1 hour. People with no exposure to ganjafood were said it was the highest they had ever been.
 
Ya the time I took 30mg it was during school and I had not smoked before and I was pretty incapacitated I guess. Not worth shit at school thats for sure :\ .

After that I took another 25mg in school, no smoking this time either.

The third time however I took 25mg and smoked a bunch of mids/regs as well and I dont think i've ever been so hungry in my life. I also got super super beat at the end of the day. Like exponentially more than I would after smoking just mids/regs.
 
im surprised to hear that this marinol worked for people. i tried it twice, 45mg each time. and i felt nothing. and after a few hours i just decided to finally smoke and was just normally high. maybe it was just cause i smoke too much. i did abstain from burning for 3 days before though....
 
Weed tolerance in heavy smokers can take longer then 3 days to go down. It reacts to people very differently. I asked a nurse about it a while ago she said the majority people who were perscribed it hated it. All it did was give them headaches, nausia. Seemingly the same effects that some people get when they have a bad reaction to weed in general.
