Unguy, when you talk about the tablet form, you mean Marinol? Marinol is very expensive, unless covered by insurance, but very likely will not give you paranoia because marijuana itself has many, many more ingredients than marinol does. So if you can afford it, I would try it, and it won't produce the effects of smoking the marijuana. Marinol does not produce high at all. It is being given to children undergoing chemo, against nausea.

I do not know though if Marinol is used for pain relief. It might be - find out.
