Substance made up from dried plants and chopped up herbs, The herbs/ plants are then sprayed with cannabinoids (over 120 cannabinoids exist) but what is a cannabinoid?
Synthetic marihuana
What is it?
'Not for human consumption'
Since it is made from man made illegal lab chemicals you can't tell which chemicals you are getting in the baggie. By shuffling certain chemicals they can stay within legal limits and be sold in a store and the manufacturers don't have to worry about quality control.
How was it discovered?
It was discovered by Clemson University professor John W. Huffman who created over 450 cannabinoid compounds as part of a cancer and aids research in 1984. After 20 years of research Huffman came to the conclusion that these chemicals did absolutely no good for the human body since it was highly addictive
and caused psychotic episodes plus the effects
mentioned before.
This has nothing to do with natural Marihuana. The product is sold saying that it contains natural THC (chemical which causes the effects of marihuana) but in fact it is just a bunch of chemicals sprayed over dried herbs/ plant.
It affects the same receptors as THC but 100x stronger, it can have several secondary symptoms including; High blood pressure, blurred vision, heart attack, vomiting, seizures, hallucinations, and severe anxiety or paranoia, The scary thing is that these symptoms commonly occur.
But how can you sell something like this in a store? the bags will often be labeled as 'incense' 'potpourri' or even say 'Not for human consumption' this is what allows the sale of this drug or the transportation from one country to another.
This is an example of all the different chemicals that synthetic marihuana has. It is usually manufactured in laboratories in China and Russia they don't have any health and safety checks, the chemicals are altered almost every week creating from 5 to 10 different chemical compounds. Governments try to ban the compounds but since they keep being altered it is impossible to keep track of them and legalize them.
