Alcohol is a medicine for those who are sick.
So all those who need to use it are sick .......

MikeL, glad to hear you've had good results, keep kicking its (cancer's) ass...
I find this somewhat alarming, however..."so they slipped me dronabinol (man-made THC) with my regular meds but did not tell me about the dronabinol."
So the hospital 'spiked' your meds & didn't tell you? Does anyone else find this highly suspect / unusual?

Loved this thread, even the snark had a high level of humor. Insofar as maryjane being a gateway drug, it led me to abuse fast motorcycles and steep ice. Not yet quite reformed. Sometimes rehabilitation takes a long time and can be painful. Might need a little something to take the edge off.

Tami...what's an 'MI'?
Still find it unsettling that (unless you're in a coma)meds are administered without notification / explanation...but that's just me!

Scary, Tami! Bet there weren't a whole lotta 'guffaws' happening.
Believe me, I have NO objections to THC in any form or delivery method...come to think of it my 12 days in the hospital (2013, ended up donating a foot of colon) would definitely have been improved by that particular palliative! I just thought there's some kind of notification standard, legally.

What Tami said.
I was not in very good shape. I was being a baby. I was just sooooo sick. My existence was being as still as I could be to minimize the feeling of the sickness. I complained to *everyone* I met. Just to get me to talk about something else in the ER, they gave me a shot of Dilaudid, and that was wonderful. Finally, some relief.
I’ve asked nurses what they are giving me when I’ve been in the hospital, and then the nurses told me dronabinol was for nausea, and that it could help me to eat. Down it went. For a few days we were fighting with 104 degree heat spikes, and I had puffed up like the Pillsbury Dough Boy with a rash all over my body; so I think they wanted me to just relax while 5 of them went through a long list of protocols. Internal medicine did not trust oncology when the latter said it was a drug reaction.
Anyway, the medical center personnel that I had worked with were tops in my book. Very good organization.

Americans are very diseased and always need some intoxicants to make them forget the pains of the over materialization of their spirit .....

Before my winemaking days I was a composite tool designer in aerospace. I was in Orange County on a contract job (B-2 refueling receptacle and C-17 duct work). I was working 6 days/week and used to getting up early, so as usual one Sunday I went ot the local convenience store to get a Sunday paper. As I walked up I noticed the cop cars. Went inside and asked the clerk what was going on. Turned out some young guy had come in and bought some gas. All he had for a container was a plastic jug. He bought his quart or so of gas and then proceeded into the store and started drinking the stuff. I was stunned. Cheap high for sure but..... man.
When I was working in Seattle at Heath Techna they hired a kid to grind composite parts. Suited him up with a respirator and sent him into the grind booth. He didn't come out. Someone went to see what was going on. He'd taken a rag and soaked it in acetone then put it inside his respirator. The ultimate huff I guess. He was passed out. They sent to hospital, then gave him another chance. Same thing happened. That's f*#ked up.
Ain't nothing wrong with legal pot.

This is FYI only....Strains of ganja for Nausea. I cannot attest to the quality of any of these strains for nausea treatment because I have not tried any of them...maybe others can comment...
Strains for Nausea
There are many strains of cannabis, both sativa and indica varieties, that are especially helpful for relieving nausea and alleviating vomiting and other gastrointestinal disturbances. The following are some of the more effective strains across the board of indica, sativa, and hybrid categories, but this is in no way a comprehensive list.
Platinum OG (indica): An indica-dominant hybrid that provides a comforting blanket of body relaxation while the high THC content helps reduce pain and nausea and acts as an appetite stimulant.
Northern Lights (indica): This classic strain leaves users relaxed and euphoric while relieved of stress, anxiety, and nausea. It also helps to stimulate the appetite.
Super Lemon Haze (hybrid): A sativa-dominant from South Africa that leaves users feeling energized, motivated, and clear-headed. It combats depression, fatigue, pain, and nausea, but it may not be the best choice for those suffering from anxiety.
Girl Scout Cookies (hybrid): A cross of Durban Poison and OG Kush, the cerebral effects of this strain hit hard and fast. This strain will combat stress, nausea, and pain, and has been known to stimulate the appetite. It tests high in THC and may be too intense for novice users.
Optimus Prime (indica): An indica-dominant strain that is common among patients to produce a slowly creeping buzz that covers the body in relaxation. It also aids in calming nausea, easing aches and pains, and inducing strong appetite. Can result in couchlock, especially for inexperienced users.

As my dubious climbing career was winding down, I was handed a corncob pipe at the base of the Kern Slabs. I took a few hits and moved more slowly up the rock, embracing the mellow mojo.
Just that one time, and it let me know that the fear I had felt at the Needles, JT, Taquitz, and run out but easy pitches at the left side of Dome Rock might have been handled with herbal enhancement.

There's a right way to be a human and a wrong way to be a human. You're just doing it all wrong.
For the definitive guide on the right way to be a human, just believe what I believe, and do what I do.
Repeat ad nauseum.
