Abstract
Inhalation exposure to a product containing JWH-018 penetrates into the brain and other organs and produces CB1 receptor-mediated behavioral pharmacological effects in mice. The increased potency of JWH-018 compared to THC, the variable amount of drug added to various herbal products, and unknown toxicity, undoubtedly contribute to public health risks of synthetic cannabinoids.
