A Wide Range of synthetic cannabinoids created by John W. Huffman. Commonly put into "herbal incense" to give the user effects similar to Marijuana. Some JWH Chemicals such as 018, 073, and 081 have been banned by Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia but remain legal in other states. By federal law it is unscheduled but if a police officer sees you carrying around a bag full of white powder your going to jail.

There are multiple JWH chemicals with their own said effects:
018 is supposed to produce a Indica like body high
073 is supposed to produce a Sativa like buzz
081 is supposed to be a mix of 018 and 073's effects

JWH chemicals generally sell for $50 online, 1 Gram of JWH-018 could technically dose a person over 100 times.
Bobby: I'm afraid of using a plant to get high, isn't there any synthetic chemical made in a lab that is completely legal I can use instead?

Johny: Sure Bobby, use JWH-018. The long term effects aren't known and if you do alot at one time you might die. But its fine because its legal.

A synthetic cannabinoid. In december 2008 a german lab found this chemical in many so called "smoking blends". These blends are usually sold as alternatives to cannabis.

They have become popular over recent years because they actually get you stoned.This is because many contain synthetic cannabinoids such as JWH-018.
Stoner1: NOOOOOO! I'm outta weed. I'm gonna pay a visit to my local headshop, get me some legal smokes.

Stoner2: you know those "smoking blends" contain synthetic cannabinoids to get you high.

Stoner1: Really?

Stoner 2: yeah, in fact a german lab actually found the chemical JWH-018 present in some of them.

Stoner1: Is it dangerous?

Stoner2: We'd really have to wait till more tests are done on it's safety.I'd say stick with weed untill a synthetic cannabinoid has been proven safe. When it has, buy it in pill form and it'll be a lot healthier than cannabis.

Synthetic cannabinoids are the way forward.
