- Nursie 11y ago>> the proper terminology is "synthetic cannabinoid." For the cannabinoids themselves, certainly. Now, what's a good way to refer to the products that are sold in head shops and all sorts of other places? They are a blend of plant materials laced with a one or more synthetic cannabinoids. Synthetic cannabis does not seem wrong here.
