My Marinol prescription is for 2x5mg daily. It's a pretty moderate dose. I also use a portable vaporizer a few times throughout the day. Total, I average using a gram a day.
I was in clinical remission within a couple months, but the symptoms were gone as soon as I smoked or as soon as the Marinol kicks in (about 30-60 minutes after ingestion).

Sure, depending on the strain I get or sometimes with Marinol, since that's synthetic THC, it can be very paranoia inducing.
I just remind myself that it's a side effect of the drug, and that most people have no idea I'm medicated. If they do, I have a Marinol pill bottle on me at all times, as a first line of defense.
I think having the Marinol script helps a lot in the paranoia department...I generally don't have to worry about positive drug screens or people thinking I'm acting weird, since I can just blame it on the Marinol hitting me a little differently that day.
I did notice that when I was in Amsterdam, I had zero paranoia, even while smoking on the balcony of our hotel. I think it was because of the legal status there. Once you remove the legal and other consequences of using and possessing marijuana, paranoia leaves very quickly. It's almost like paranoia is a side effect of the illegality more so than the drug itself, if that make sense.

Not really. I have a full time job that requires thinking on my feet all the time, and my supervisors would agree that I am quite good at what I do.

Exactly!! I've heard Crohn's patients refer to it as a miracle, and as atheist as I am, it's really been nothing short of that for me.
Glad MMJ's working well for you too!
