"Marinol's active ingredient is the main cannabinoid in marijuana."
It's synthetic, not extracted. Again you can't argue that marijuana should be rescheduled because natural cannabis extracts are already FDA approved until Sativex actually gets approval in early 2014. Also, THC is the main psychoactive cannabinoid but not necessarily the main cannabinoid overall.
"You could try arguing (as opponents have) that marijuana has no medical benefit while Marinol does"
You're never going to prevent people from making that argument no matter how dumb it is. We just need to wait for Sativex to get FDA approval so that way they can no longer make it.
