Marinol is made from cannabis. Most used for weight gain for cachectic patients. Marinol is not the same as dihydrocodeine which is more for pain. These drugs have a different name for a reason. They both can be abused which is why they are both scheduled narcotics.

No - they are two different molecules and therefore two different medications.

No. Medrol is a steroid. Dihydrocodeine is a pain killer
