What is a synthetic cannabinoid?


What is “Synthetic” Cannabinoid?
These are Cannabinoids that cannot be found in nature.
There are tons of Cannnabinoids in Cannabis, and even some that can be found in other places.
But even more can be found…Or actually, made, in a lab.
These are known as “Synthetic Cannabinoids”
Most of them are known as “JWH-xxx” such as JWH-018, which was recently made illegal in the USA.
But there are also others, such as AM-2201, or CPxxxx.
These “Synthetic” Cannabinoids hit the same receptors in your brain, as when you are smoking weed.
They would have similar effects, but not exactly the same, because they would target different specific areas of the receptor with varied force.
Example: THC might hit the CB1 receptor hard, for a short time. While maybe JWH hits the CB2 receptor hard for a short time, but the CB1 receptor hardly at all. Which would cause an almost 100% different feeling.
I do not suggest using these.
They are illegal for human consumption, there is not much research done on them, and weed is readily available in most places of the world.
