Introduction
Synthetic cannabinoids, also known as synthetic marijuana or K2, have gained popularity in recent years as a legal alternative to marijuana. These substances are designer drugs that are chemically similar to the active ingredients in marijuana but are often more potent and dangerous. The biochemical effects of synthetic cannabinoids on the body are not well understood, and there is a growing need for research in this area.
