And, the magic brownies, magic candy, and magic goldfish I brought... well they are not really doing it for me. Hardly better than what people describe about Marinol.

Any idea what to do?

Update: The University of Washington Medical Center has explained the following:
(1) first of all, non-smoking hospital. I cannot wander to the designated smoking area due to my dropping white cell counts .
(2) they do not "honor" outside prescriptions, they take your outside med list and dispense from their stocks. in fact i cannot take my prilosec and am on the inferior protonix.
(3) Since they have standing policies refusing smokable MMJ, they won't write or permit me to take my state-legal prescription here.
(4) I have heard bad things about their "alternative", Marinol.

This is a fascist prison I'm in until late in the week. I wish I could get someone here with a discreet Sneek A Vape or something that wouldn't set off the fire alarms ....

What would you do in my sad socks??????
