There is a medical form called marinol, that is occasionally useful, but doesn’t get you high
According to its makers: "You should not smoke marijuana while using MARINOL Capsules. It is possible to get too much dronabinol (an overdose), especially if you use MARINOL Capsules and smoke marijuana at the same time. Signs of a mild overdose would include drowsiness, euphoria , heightened sensory awareness, altered time perception, red eyes, dry mouth and rapid heart rate (tachycardia)."

Your point?
I hope you don’t get cyclic vomiting syndrome from your mj use but it is very real and caused by mj
And as far as marinol I rarely use it and would not advocate using mj with and prescription medication
Mj is not the harmless substance folks make it out to be
