Marinol is a physically non-toxic Schedule III (CIII) drug that can be prescribed for virtually anything a doctor feels that it might be appropriate for, yet most doctors seem reluctant to prescribe it until all other treatment options have failed (if at all).
These other treatment options are almost in all cases more physically toxic than is either Marinol or cannabis itself, so it can't be because they're afraid of bodily harm.
Opioid drugs, benzodiazepines, and many other drugs are severely physically addictive (whereas Marinol is not) and they're prescribed routinely, so it can't be because they're afraid of addiction.
What gives with modern medicine? Why are we ignoring such a seemingly useful, yet benign substance?
