Try some oral gel by Biotene for the dry mouth plus most of us kept a water bottle right by our sides 24/7. My wife even made me a holder with an old Marathon patch on it so it didn't look like too feminine. I literally took sips every couple minutes at first
Make it unanimous from the guys: Marinol is simply not effective. It's an expensive pill that has only ONE out of FOUR HUNDRED compounds in MJ that together reduce nausea. No surprise it doesn't work in real life except as a placebo. So called studies on Marinol can no longer legally compare it to real MJ due to DEA restrictions but when they did, the patients all prefered the effective natural MJ. So all you can have is anecdotal opinions and no scientific proof.
let's just say "a friend" used a vaporizer and MJ to keep nausea very successfully under control when no pills worked.
