i'm going by what my wife was told when she had to call, unless you can show viable proof otherwise, i think i'm going to believe them.
Nobody is saying the poison control lied to your wife. You could have very well overdosed. However keep in mind that overdose doesn't necessarily mean life-threatening. You took an overdose of the recommended amount, which is 1 pill. This constitutes an overdose, however it's not life-threatening. It is just THC in a pill, the THC being dissolved in sesame seed oil. Combine what you took with alcohol AND half a joint, and I'd say you were pretty fucked up. However I doubt if you were in a life and death situation.

The poison control told you to go to the hospital to be on the safe side. But you refused. Had you been in any real danger, you'd have suffered serious consequences from it. Serious consequencens meaning you might not be here to tell your story.

Yes, I am saying that the only psychoactive chemical in Marinol is Delta-9 THC. It's nothing else. If it were some other psychoactive chemical, then legally it could not be marketed as a THC Pill. There are legalities surrounding the issue. The pharmaceutical company cannot market a THC pill with another drug being an active ingredient. It would need to be listed in the active ingredients. www.rxlist.com if you need further information. If it wasn't just THC In the pill, I'm sure the effects of overdose would have been much more harmful. You need to understand the pharmacology of the drug.

The reason you reacted so harsh to the substance was most likely because you took 5, combined it with alcohol, and then smoked more weed. Alcohol often has a multiplier effect with drugs, meaning that if you take alcohol and another drug at the same time, it multiplies the level of intoxication. I'm sure the alcohol had something to do with your overdose (or should I say, unpleasant experience) because even personally when I combine alcohol and weed I'm pretty much catatonic and out of it.

So yes, it's only THC that is psychoactive in Marinol.
