Today, the United States Drug Enforcement Administration published a final notice on the federal register regarding the emergency ban of five chemicals commonly used in products known as "spice," "herbal incense," and "synthetic marijuana."
The emergency ban, which was announced last November, takes effect today. Five chemical compounds -- JWH-018, JWH-073, JWH-200, CP-47, 497, and cannabicylohexanol -- are now illegal to possess or sell without a special DEA license.
In the press release issued by the DEA, they state "This emergency action was necessary to prevent an imminent threat to public safety."
In layman’s terms, it’s a plant material coated with chemicals that mimic THC, the active ingredient in Marijuana. The truth is, even though the labels say “not for human consumption;” it’s sold to smoke, you get high, and many Marijuana smokers love it,
new ingredients have been substituted which now allow manufacturers to deem it legal again and the tobacco and head shops are receiving new and legally updated brands every day.
Synthetic cannabis does not produce positive results in drug tests for marijuana, but it is possible to detect its metabolites in human urine. (3) These herbal incense made with Damiana leaves are not Salvia Divinorum.
Compared to THC, which is a partial agonist at CB1 receptors, JWH-018 (and many of its analogues) are full agonists. This means that users may experience far more intense effects compared to smoking cannabis.
the lack of an antipsychotic chemical, similar to cannabidiol found in natural cannabis, may make synthetic cannabis more likely to induce psychosis than natural cannabis

The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) considers it to be a "drug of concern",[68] citing "...a surge in emergency-room visits and calls to poison-control centers. Adverse health effects associated with its use include seizures, hallucinations, paranoid behavior, agitation, anxiety, nausea, vomiting, racing heartbeat and elevated blood pressure.

SWIM says I have smoked weed in my younger days and I have some of the fake stuff my cousin picked up at a store. Not the same at all, not even close.
