Some
smokable herbal mixtures under the brand name Spice drugs have been
sold on the Internet and in specialized shops (smart shops) since 2004.
The mixtures are advertised as an exotic incense blend which releases a
rich aroma and not for human consumption.
When smoked, Spice
drugs products have been reported by products have been reported by some
users to have effects similar to those of cannabis. Spice drugs have
received intensive attention in drug forums due to the possibility to
obtain a non legal substitute of cannabis. Forensic analyses have found
different potent synthetic cannabinoid agonists in some Spice drugs
products, as JWH-018, CP 47497, JWH-073 and HU-210.
There
are few data about its pharmacological properties in animals, but
nothing about its toxicity. At present, almost nothing is known about
the pharmacology, toxicology and safety profile of such compounds in
humans, except the opinions of consumers in Internet forums. Neither the
herbal ingredients of Spice drugs, nor any of the synthetic
cannabinoids found in them, are internationally controlled under the
1961 or 1971 UN drug control conventions.
Some European countries have recently taken legal actions to ban or otherwise control Spice drugs products and related compounds. These cannabinoid substances can be considered as new products to be added to the list of 'designer drugs'.
