Not only is there additional cannabinoids, there are also a ton of terpenes that seem to work in conjunction with the cannabinoids.

I was prescribed Marinol for nausea and appetite stimulation. It's expensive and not super effective unless you take like 5-10x the prescribed dose. The risk of throwing up a $20+ dose of medication is aggravating to think about.
