Add to Eric's post....don't let your docs prescribe Marinol, supposedly a MJ substitute, as it just plain DOES NOT WORK and it's very expensive. I know from experience! I smoked my share of MJ in my college years so I know what MJ can do and those pills didn't mimic MJ in the least for me. Looking back I wish I had tried the real stuff.
