- this old orphan proves more usefull than the current results of millions
- of dollars in pharmacuetical research. It would certainly have uses other
- than HIV treatment if it works. Are there any clinical trials underway?
- Concerning the news in the CDC journal about Marinol, I am curious
- about the legal status of this compound. Is THC still a schedule I
- substance? How does the FDA and the DEA permit it's use? Do they use
- the investigational drug exemption, or the compassionate use rule(?)
- or what? It used to be that any FDA approved drug could be used for
- any purpose an MD sees fit. Is there some sort of conditional or limited
- approval ? An email response would be fine if posting is not appropriate.
- Thank you for any information.
