Artificial Cannabis Anyone? - Medical Cannabis News - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

**Skip** · 09-27-2009, 07:07 PM

It seems there's a relatively new artificial marijuana, created in a laboratory that mimics the effects of the real thing. This reporter took it out for a test drive and was impressed by the experience!

JHW-018, as it is called, is a CBD receptor agonist. It works just like marijuana, it gets you high and kills pain, but it's legal in many countries! Apparently this compound has been part of the mixture known as "Spice", sold as a legal alternative to marijuana, and you can buy JHW-018 alone in a crystaline form as a plant nutient as the reporter did.

Note: this is not recommended for human consumption.

well if i ever wanna ween myself off the good stuff, then i know wat im buying.sounds interesting...

What I found interesting is that it has fewer bad side effects (if used properly) than pot. Of course this is mostly due to the fact that it's not a plant you're consuming. I did some more research and found that they are going to make this drug into a patch type thing for pain relief.

I'm curious as to the effects it would have if you eat it (or snort it?). The article didn't go into other ways to ingest it.

For me, I'll stick to the natural substance too, but I find it fascinating that they've been able to sell this stuff (in combo with other "spices") for years without a hassle.

It was just recently that it hit the news that this alternative cannabis contained such a drug. I always thought their mixture was just a BS high, not a real one.... And as far as I know those alternative mixtures don't advertise themselves as "medicine" and shouldn't be consumed for medical purposes (wait for the patch!).

I don't recommend the commercial "Spice" to anyone due to the unknown ingredients in it. This was just one such "surprise" ingredient, there may be more.

There are several synthetic cannabinoids, JWH-018, JWH-073, HU-210, CP 47,479, etc. They seem to be relatively popular with the "research chemical" crowd and apparently the effects are similar to cannabis, which has also made the authorities interested in many countries. It's also my understanding that Spice has been found to contain a couple of them instead of just JWH-018.

That is good advice for sure. The better alternative, cannabis, has 6000 years of human testing behind it...
