Synthetic cannabis
drug / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Synthetic cannabis (synthetic marijuana) is a type of designer drug made from chemicals sprayed onto herbs.[1] Synthetic cannabis is often called K2,[2] Spice,[3] or fake weed. "Synthetic" means "man-made"; Cannabis is the plant that marijuana is made from.
Synthetic cannabis is not really man-made marijuana. It has no marijuana, and no chemicals from the Cannabis plant, in it. Instead, it is sprayed with man-made chemicals called cannabinoids. In the brain, they act like the chemicals in real marijuana (like THC). Because of this, they can make a person feel "high" the same way real marijuana can.[4]
