Drug dealers and illicit drug producers are always looking for ways to game the system and provide a “better” high. Never has that been more evident than with the introduction of synthetic cannabinoid–marijuana. As the nation acclimates to the legalization of marijuana, we are seeing a “new breed” of pot on the streets. In fact, it is not pot at all. This has become a concern because we are starting to see the frequent occurrence of synthetic cannabinoid addiction.
Contrary to what drug dealers would have everyone believe, the synthetic cannabinoid is anything but natural or herbal. In fact, it’s not really marijuana, though it has some of the same side effects. Any notion these drugs are actual marijuana products seems nothing more than a ploy to confuse law enforcement. Synthetic cannabinoids are made with chemical compounds manufactured in illegal labs. They first came to America’s streets within the last few years.
Synthetic pot is sold on the streets under names like “Spice” and “K2”. While dealers may claim these drugs offer the same effects as pot, the truth is something entirely different. There is some level of euphoria and relaxation. That’s where the common effects stop. Beyond that, Spice is capable of creating heart rate and blood pressure issues, hallucinations, psychosis, violence, or suicidal thoughts.
While the debate about marijuana addiction rages onward, there’s little doubt Spice is highly-addictive. The high occurrence of synthetic cannabinoid addiction is the reason why Beaches Recovery offers a synthetic cannabinoid addiction treatment program in FL. Treatment programs come to life when demand makes the call.
It indeed is a misnomer to call these substances synthetic marijuana. Aside from the aforementioned common effects, they have nothing in common. We find that especially true when we look at the synthetic cannabinoid addiction side effects. Keep in mind that some experts are not yet sure marijuana is addictive. With Spice, we see some of the following addiction signs:
Arguably, these are the signs of addiction one would expect to see with opioids or amphetamines. Just the same, these are the signs of synthetic cannabinoid addiction hiding under the name synthetic marijuana. We see them every day while we administer our Spice drug addiction rehab program in FL.
