Even Mr. Huffman the creator of most main "THC" synthetics says so! Goggle translate of
http://www.drogen-info-berlin.de/htm/jw ... inoide.htm Today 79 years old and retired, John W Huffman enjoys, a university professor, a quiet lifestyle in the mountains of North Carolina. He likes to laugh, is self-deprecating, and he has a sharp, analytical mind, which has helped him in a long and successful career as a scientist.
Huffman invented more than 450 chemical compounds, try the effect of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive substance in marijuana mimic. The compounds - which bear his initials - are the main ingredients in marijuana alternatives like Kronic, K2 and Spice. Huffman, however, classifies these compounds as highly dangerous.
"It's like playing Russian roulette," he says, "because you just can not know what will happen." He makes his contempt for people who want to make a profit from Spice, Kronic or K2 no secret. "There are people on this earth who will do anything to make money, even if it hurts other people," he says. "These people are immoral." "These people know that these things are harmful. These people are like drug traffickers, the cocaine and crystal meth and all the other nasty sell drugs."
Huffman is a Professor of Organic Chemistry in July retired and received his doctorate at Harvard University. He was one of the few cannabinoid experts publicly spoke out about the impact of the hazards of JWH and came against the use of drugs. This is partly because, since there are few people who qualify, can talk about synthetic cannabinoids. In the US, Huffman is one of only "four or five" chemists who have made these compounds - three of which are over 70 years old.
Huffman worked with Nobel laureate Robert Burns Woodward. The cannabinoid research was funded in 1984 by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) to develop with the aim of synthetic THC. Huffman's research eventually led to the development of more than 450 chemical compounds which "mimic THC" that. One of the strongest and most easily produced is JWH-018, which is 10 times as potent as THC.
"The artificial cannabinoids are harmful, marijuana is not"
Huffman believes the artificial cannabinoids - as Spice - should not be sold legally. But he also stresses the legalization of marijuana is a way to address the problems with synthetic cannabis. "The artificial cannabinoids are harmful, they are dangerous," he says, "and marijuana is not really dangerous." He has a doctor friend in California who knew nothing of the synthetic compounds, because in his state, it is so easy to obtain marijuana (medicinal marijuana is legal in California). "So I come to the conclusion that the legalization of marijuana is probably the best thing we can do"
