About the Course:

Understanding the ‘Spice’ Phenomenon: Thematic Papers reflects the situation as of the first trimester of 2009 and is intended to provide insight and, as far as possible, evidence-based answers to the following questions: What do we know about the nature, availability, and use of ‘Spice’ products? What do we know about synthetic cannabinoids found in ‘Spice’ products? Why did it take such a long time to establish the psychoactive principles in the ‘Spice’ products? Are these products dangerous for the consumer? Is there a specific demand and will the market of non-scheduled synthetic (designer) cannabinoids with a THC-mode of action continue to develop? Where are the synthetic cannabinoids produced, and how are they added to the herbal products?
