>Still. Seems like an irresponsible bit if research to me.
It’s actually very important research, as many of the receptors cause chemical reactions that could be very helpful with people that have mental issues (Some chemicals in cannabis oil greatly reduce childhood seizures).
The synthetic weed aspect is a pretty wild frontier. In the late 2000’s JWH and derivatives got isolated, and many of the ones that have reactions like THC, JWH-018, JWH-220, etc. got banned around 2010. As the isolation and banning continue, the synthetics get farther and farther away reaction-wise from THC. The stuff that they’re spraying on synthetic weed is DRASTICALLY different than the stuff sprayed on it even two years ago. The synthetic weed companies are basically importing the chemical en masse from Chinese labs, spraying the stuff on inert plant material, and praying that some dumb kid doesn’t kill himself.
I’m not a pot smoker but just out of curiosity: how easy is it to distinguish the real from the synthetic. I don’t want kids smoking any of it but I hope they can steer clear of the obvious danger here.
“and praying that some dumb kid doesn’t kill himself.’
Or at least that the death does not get traced back to them. Pretty irresponsible.
Similar to the cats who sell something like 2C-T-7 in a little bag and expect their customers to be able to eyeball 5 milligrams without a scale.
