CEC06-01 Synthetic cannabinoids and semi-synthetic cannabinoids: understanding the acute toxicity (harms) related to these substances
Cannabis is the mostly commonly used drug in Europe. In the European Drug Report 2024: Trends and Developments published by the European Union Drug Agency (EUDA) it was reported that last approximately 15.1 million EU residents aged 15 to 34 years had used cannabis in the last year and that 3.7 million adults aged 15 to 64 years old use cannabis on a daily or almost daily basis.
By the end of 2023, the EUDA was monitoring over 950 new psychoactive substances, and largest group of substances being monitored are the synthetic cannabinoids (previously known as the synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonists). These substances have been available in Europe since the early 2000s, although significant reports of use and acute harms did not start until the late 2000s when they started to be marketed as “Spice”. Initially these synthetic cannabinoids were structurally related to Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (the primary active compound in naturally occurring cannabis), but over time they structural similarity has decreased as they have evolved to evade national and international control mechanisms. The toxicity of these compounds initially appeared to be similar to that seen with cannabis, and was largely neuropsychiatric features; however, as they have evolved the toxicity has changed with increasing stimulant (agitation, tachycardia, hypertension) and neurological (seizures, coma) toxicity.
In 2022, the semi-synthetic cannabinoid, hexahydrocannabinol (HHC), was identified in Europe in May 2022, and since then there have been a number of additional semi-synthetic cannabinoids detected in Europe (for example HHC acetate, hexahydrocannabiphorol and tetrahydrocannabidiol). The majority of these compounds at this time appear to be produced from cannabidiol extracted from low-THC cannabis. Alongside the detection of these substances, there are increasing reports of acute toxicity (harms) related to their use.
This session will review the acute toxicity (harms) of the synthetic cannabinoids in detail, and provide an insight in the current information of the potential issues related to the semi-synthetic cannabinoids.
