Synthetic Marijuana
It is probably more appropriate to use the term ‘cannabinoid analog‘ rather than Synthetic Marijuana, but now we’re talking semantics.
These drugs have similar effects to traditional marijuana, but are more likely to induce toxicity. People that have used these chemical have reported significant hallucinations including demons and aliens.
Paranoia is common and seizures, renal failure, heart attacks, and more recently, strokes have been reported.
