2 Case Reports Intoxication from Smoking “Spice” by N A Aliyev in Online Journal of Neurology and Brain Disorders(OJNBD)- Lupine Publishers
“Spice” refers to herbal compounds sold as frankincense
and a legal alternative to marijuana. Product descriptions
suggest that such compounds produce an effect similar to that of
tetrahydrocannabinol, the active ingredient in marijuana. Studies
have shown that many spice products are sprayed with syntheticcannabinoids, the actual substances responsible for intoxication. It is known that Synthetic cannabinoids are part of a group of
drugs called new psychoactive substances. New psychoactive are
unregulated mind-altering substances that have become newly
available on the market and are intended to produce the same
effects as illegal drugs. Some of these substances may have been
around for years but have reentered the market in altered chemical
forms, or due to renewed popularity.
