FDA Approves Syndros, Marijuana In Liquid Form — But Is It More Effective Than Pills?
First marijuana pills, now a drink: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have approved the liquid version of dronabinol, which is essentially a man-made version of the substance's main ingredient tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). And now that THC is available in pill and liquid form, some are hoping that we're finally on our way toward universal medical marijuana use.
Per the FDA's approval earlier this month, Syndros is now available by prescription to treat anorexia associated with weight loss in AIDS patients and to relieve nausea and vomiting in chemotherapy patients who don't respond as well to conventional treatments. However, it likely won’t give users the same high as the plant form. Still, it could help people suffering from a variety of chronic ailments, like cancer, to experience some (legal) relief.
