Beware of synthetic cannabinoids – stick to the natural ones

We live in a society where there is great appeal with regard to manufactured products over
natural ones, especially when it comes to chemicals and pharmaceuticals.

We, mistakenly, believe that it is easier to control the effects of a mass-manufactured drug
as opposed to its more natural form.

The truth is, in certain circumstances, man-manufactured products such as drugs can be far
more dangerous than naturally occurring products.

When it comes to synthetic cannabis, of which spice is a classic example, the effects can be
totally devastating.

These results include mental instability and even death, so watch carefully as we dig deeper
to discover what the problem is.

In simple terms, our body has developed over thousands of years and our physiology is
designed to interact with natural products.

Introduce synthetic products and our body is totally unprepared to deal with it, and
consequently it is very much a hit-and-miss situation as to how it will react.
This is the problem with synthetic cannabis.

To explain the problem in greater detail, the cannabinoid receptors in our body particularly
CB1 and CB2 work in such a way that we can’t overdose on cannabis, we can’t kill ourselves
the way a heroin overdose can.

However, the cannabinoids in synthetic cannabis tend to overwhelm these cannabis
receptors, and that’s when things get dangerous and why something like spice can be so
remarkably dangerous.

In addition, we know how cannabis is grown, either by ourselves or someone else. There are
no nasty surprises that come with it.

Unfortunately, all sorts of chemicals can be used to create synthetic cannabis, and many of
those are poisonous to humans.

When using synthetic cannabis, users have absolutely know idea what is contained in the
drug.

In fact, there are 142 known synthetic cannabinoids, and these will go under the name not
just of spice, but also K2, Yucatan Fire, Sence, Chill X, Smoke, Genie and Algerian Blend.
The market for synthetic cannabinoids certainly exists, but the price people pay for using
them can be great.

Finally, although most synthetic cannabinoids illegally produced are generally intended to be
smoked. they are now being found everywhere else, and especially in edibles including
gummy bears.
