That's true.
Marinol and traditional marijuana are not the same. Besides their differences pharmacologically, Marinol is an oral medication. Taking Marinol orally takes ~90 minutes, at best, to work. Inhaling vaporized marijuana takes effect in about 15 seconds. Someone suffering from nausea would not want to wait 90 minutes for relief. Both should be available with a doctors approval.
