Very interesting to see JWH discussed on HN. This stuff was BIGGG about a decade ago, and then I stopped hearing about it. It's crazy to see they are still playing the game of cat and mouse with these analogues, and even getting them into the black market carts.
I have medical so thankfully I don't need to mess with the black market at this point. I would _highly_ advise against using any synthetic cannabinoids.
- tempguy9999 7y ago> I would _highly_ advise against using any synthetic cannabinoids. Any specific reasons to say this? Medical knowledge, personal experience or other? I did have one experience with a synthetic cannabinoid and it was very bad indeed, took me days to recover. FYI. I'd not rule out trying it again but with great care. Though now it's illegal in the UK, so prob won't happen.
- sterlind 7y agoI remember there being a number of deaths from some cannabinoids, but after doing some research I can't confirm. This is what I found: AMB-FUBINACA caused a "zombie outbreak" which sent 33 people to the hospital in Brooklyn: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/14/nyregion/zombielike-state-was-caused-by-synthetic-marijuana.html https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/14/nyregion/zombielike-state... Anecdotally, AM-2201 seems to cause enlarged liver and other health problems with long-term use: https://www.erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=95702 https://www.erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=95702 I remember CP-55,940 and WIN-55,212 having serious side effects but I couldn't find information..
- tempguy9999 7y agoComprehensive answer. I particularly appreciate you made it clear what you couldn't verify, or what was anecdotal. I wish I could upvote it twice for that alone.
- SargeZT 7y agoMany of them are full agonists on the cannabanoid receptors, which leads to GABA levels that are dangerously low when the receptors are saturated. THC proper lowers GABA somewhat, but not nearly as much. They've lead to seizures and have been linked to at least a few deaths.
- WalterSear 7y agoThey aren't. Parent is misinformed.
- buttcoinslol 7y agoI likely am, it was speculation on my part. Thank you for providing more concrete information, I should've noted that I was speculating.
