These chemicals are called cannabinoids because they act on the same brain cell receptors as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main active ingredient in marijuana. However, the hundreds of known synthetic cannabinoid chemicals and THC are different chemicals. In fact, synthetic cannabinoids may affect the brain in different and unpredictable ways compared to marijuana.
Synthetic cannabinoids are used in a variety of ways:
Sprayed onto plant material and smoked
Mixed into a liquid and vaped in electronic nicotine delivery devices (such as e-cigarettes)
Added to herbal tea or to food and swallowed
Synthetic cannabinoids are widely available.

Many synthetic cannabinoids are illegal.
The federal government has banned many specific synthetic cannabinoids. Many state and local governments have passed their own laws targeting other synthetic cannabinoids.
Recent federal and state laws targeting synthetic cannabinoids have banned general categories of ingredients, rather than specific chemicals.
Makers of synthetic cannabinoids try to get around these laws by creating new products with different ingredients or by labeling them “not for human consumption.”
Synthetic cannabinoid products are unsafe. It is hard to know what the products contain or what your reaction to them will be.
There are no standards for making, packaging, or selling synthetic cannabinoid chemicals. That means that two packets of a brand-named product may have completely different chemicals.
The amount of the synthetic cannabinoid chemical(s) can vary between batches or even within the same batch. herbal incense blend
