I don't really follow medical marijuana, but I don't completely trust "extracted solutions" for medical use. Nicotine replacement is largely a failure because it doesn't contain other properties of tobacco. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if marijuana was the same. On a personal note, it would piss me off paying a company money for a product that literally grows like a weed. Artificial scarcity is bullshit.
Well, I do not suggest using marinol as a healthy replacement for mj. I simply suggest that if this woman does not want MJ, but maybe she could benefit from it in some way, that this extract might be worth trying.
nicotine replacement patches has been a failure because they do not have that instant gratification, or the short term buzz one gets from a hit of tobacco. Vaporizers have become quite popular, and seems like they are succeeding where other nicotine replacements have failed for a lot of people. I have been a harsh critic of e-cigs and vaping in the past until I think Rudeboy told me to open my fucking eyes and that the e-cigs of today are not like the e-cigs of 10 years ago.
