Many have heard of the street drug sold at gas stations and party stores under many names like Spice and K2. It is often on local news. They usually call it “fake marijuana.” It wasn’t until one reporter referred to it as “synthetic cannabinoids” that it caught our attention. On this week’s Shaping Fire, podcast host Shango Los talks with cannabinoid researcher Greg Gerdeman PhD about what the hell synthetic cannabinoids even are and where they came from. Listen to this week’s show for the engaging story of how synthetic cannabinoids escaped the laboratory to become popular with schlock journalists and misdirected thrill seekers who can’t get their hands on authentic cannabis.
