What are Synthetic Cannabinoids? There has been a lot of talk among Drug Recognition Experts (DRE's) about people high on synthetic cannabinoids. Synthetic cannabinoids are often referred to as "research chemicals" or "novel psychoactive substances" and are human made chemicals that are made in a clandestine laboratory. These labs are usually in China and the drugs come to the United States as a white powder. A distributor will take that white chemical and mix it with some type of liquid and then spray it onto damiana or another plant material. It is packaged in small foil packets and sold in gas stations, head shops and liquor stores. These chemicals are called synthetic cannabinoids because they have some similarity with chemicals found in the cannabis plant. Because of this similarity, many users will refer to it as fake weed. Currently, there are over 250 different synthetic cannabinoids available.
