I smoke marijauana to help with my symptoms. I would
like to try marinol but I don't know of a doctor who
will prescribe it for me, my doctor laughed at me last
week when I asked if he would at least let me try it.
I live in a small town in Alabama & no doctor I have
seen so far has ever heard of cvs. How did you get a
doctor to prescribe marinol?
