What is it all about? I know its synthetic THC but I have heard conflicting information on whether it gets you high or not. My friend gave me a bunch of them. Anyone have any experience with them?

Synthetic or not a THC molecule is a THC molecule and that is the end of that. Your body can't tell the difference.

tell that to the people who had seizures from synthetic thc, a known side effect of fake thc and not real thc. it is...by far....a much more dangerous product. And considering peoples bodies seem to react differently to it, I would say your body can very much tell the difference.
A very fast and not thorough search from google of marinol doesn't make it sound very fun either
And also, calling it synethic thc, doesn't make it the same on a molecular level as real thc, which is probably why it seems to be way more dangerous, since it most likely isn't identical.
But to the actual OP, just from a rough google search, seems like you do get high, but it probably won't be the same as smoking some dank weed.

Very interesting. How are they able to sell that as THC? That's ridiculous. If it's not molecularly identical, it's not the same chemical.

they aren't, synthetic marijuana/thc has been banned constantly for years basically since the start of it's sale, everytime it's banned, they change it chemically in a very slight and small way and sell it as a new product, wait for that one to become illegal, rinse and repeat.
Every single time they ban it, it comes out like a week or two later under a new name with a catchy label claiming "new ingredients" which is a bullshit loophole in the legal system that allows them to keep reselling it.
Started off with that K2 shit, and people will always do it because it is convienent and technically legal, they used to sell it in all the corner stores around me, I think around me they just gave up on it entirely because I haven't saw it in a while.

This is not a conversation about synthetic cannabinoids in general. We're talking about marinol, which is regulated by the FDA.

Actually if you look, with a quick search you'll find that marinol contains a synthetic version of Delta-9-thc. It's the exact same chemical that gets you high.
The real difference is that marijuana contains a large variety of natural cannabinoids that give each strain a different high. Marinol would be probably the "cleanest" high so to speak.
Now synthetic cannabinoids have been and are very dangerous. But Marinol is regulated for safety and does not have to include dangerous chemicals to become legal, as it's already protected.
OP, I'd say try a pill. Worst case scenerio you feel little to nothing, but my guess it'd be much more similar to edibles.

marinol dot com website explains a lot
I don't understand why big pharma creates synthetic alternatives to natural medicines such as cannabis? Is this all about money/patenting ? Why not just use what is made by nature... Cheap and simple.

I'm sorry, don't hate me forever 
I didn't even know there was an FDA regulated thc anything, i figured it was all that fake weed type stuff you can buy at local corner stores.

Dronabinol (brand name: Marinol) is literally an alternate name for THC. According to Shulgin, it's the exact same thing as THC: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/21699245 That post contains two emails of Shulgin's. At first he says Marinol is a bit different from THC but in the second email he corrects himself, saying it's the same thing.
Who says it's made synthetically? They probably extract it from weed.
Were you guys using the word, synthetic, to denote a chemical analog of THC? That's not a good use of the word synthetic.

that was my mistake, I didn't realize marinol, or anything, existed that was a FDA regulated THC product.
And in the OP I saw he said synthetic THC which made me think of that corner store like K2 type of stuff, I was extremely misinformed and was commenting on things I was unfamiliar with, since I had no idea there was a regulated drug with THC in it in the first place.

No, you weren't the only person to misuse the word synthetic.
Thank you for pointing out my mistake, Da2ra. I did it simply out of convenience.
