Hmm, I'm not sure myself, but if Marinol is anything like eating pot, it's not so bad. It seems to be much more of a strong cerebral high than anything, and it does last for quite a few more hours than smoking. I also know from experience that enough pot really CAN cause you to trip, it happened to me when I took 5 Marinol one night (bad mistake.. lol). The trips aren't really anything major, you'll swear objects are floating and see cool color patterns. When it happened to me, people who were walking by in the house seemed to leave a trail of themselves, and I also thought I could see people's auras.

I know some people here are gonna shoot me for comparing marinol to actual pot, but all marinol is is synthetic THC anyway. The high from marinol isn't quite as natural as a good stone from smoking though. The effects are definitely much more gradual, it took about an hour or two to kick in. Anyways, if I ever do try actual pot foods I'll let you know more. Be sure to read other experiences if you really want to find out, there's plenty here on these boards as well as erowid.org. Hope this helps!
