Cannabinoïdes synthétiques https://www.psychoactif.org/psychowiki/index.php?title=Cannabino%C3%AFdes_synth%C3%A9tiques Les cannabinoïdes synthétiques sont des molécules de synthèse qui agissent d'une façon proche de celle des cannabinoïdes végétaux, naturellement présents dans le cannabis (comme le THC)[1]. Ce sont principalement des agonistes des récepteurs cannabinoïdes. La plupart ont été développés à des fins thérapeutiques (analgésie), d’autres ont été synthétisés dans le but de créer des alternatives légales au cannabis. Les cannabinoïdes synthètiques sont la classe la plus importante des nouveaux produits de synthèse. Sur les 73 nouvelles substances de synthèses reportées par le EMCDDA en 2012, 30 étaient des cannabinoïdes de synthèse. De 2008 à mai 2013, 84 cannabinoïdes de synthèse ont [...]

Ils désignent un éventail très hétérogène de substances qui imitent les effets de différents produits illicites (ecstasy, amphétamines, cocaïne, cannabis, etc.). Leurs structures moléculaires s’en rapprochent, sans être tout à fait identiques. Cette spécificité leur permet, au moins à court terme, de contourner la législation sur les stupéfiants ; certains sont classés, d’autres n’ont pas de statut juridique clair. Généralement achetés sur Internet, les NPS sont connus soit par leurs noms [...]

The metabolic pathways and the signal transduction mechanisms, activated by cannabinoid receptors stimulation, will also be discussed. In particular, we will point out the action of cannabinoids and endocannabinoids on the different neuronal networks [...]
Lire la suiteCirculation d’herbe de cannabis adultérée avec des cannabinoïdes de synthèse Victor Detrez - Magali Martinez Note SINTES - Octobre 2020, 2 p. Depuis l’été 2019, plusieurs pays européens ont observé la circulation de résine et d’herbe de cannabis très faiblement dosées en Δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), avec ou non du cannabidiol (CBD), adultérées avec des cannabinoïdes de synthèse (Autriche, Suisse)1. Ces produits sont vendus de façon trompeuse comme du simple cannabis. En France, ce phénomène a été rapporte par plusieurs associations (en Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur et Bourgogne-Franche-Comte), sans qu’il y ait eu des analyses sur le territoire français jusqu’à maintenant. Ces herbes ou résines ont un [...]

Hutson Psychiatry Research, 2020, 284, 112749 Doi : 10.1016/j.psychres.2020.112749 A B S T R A C T The current meta-analysis examined the effects of psilocybin in combination with behavioral interventions on anxiety and depression in samples with elevated symptoms. Across four studies (one uncontrolled; three randomized, placebo-controlled; N = 117), within-group pre-post and pre-follow-up effects on anxiety and depression were large (Hedges’ gs=1.16 to 1.47) and statistically significant. Across three placebo-controlled studies, pre-post placebo-controlled effects were also [...]

Nicholas, Chi Wing Ng, Geetanjali Deole, Zhuofan Chen and Charles L. Raison Psychological Medicine, 2020, 1–12. doi : 10.1017/S003329172000389X Abstract Background. Scientific interest in the therapeutic effects of classical psychedelics has increased in the past two decades. The psychological effects of these substances outside the period of acute intoxication have not been fully characterized. This study aimed to: (1) quantify the effects of psilocybin, ayahuasca, and lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) on psychological outcomes in the post-acute period; (2) test moderators of these effects; and (3) evaluate [...]
Lire la suiteUse of Genetically Informed Methods to Clarify the Nature of the Association Between Cannabis Use and Risk for Schizophrenia Nathan A. Gillespie, Kenneth S. Kendler JAMA Psychiatry, Published online November 4, 2020 Cohort studies and meta-analyses have documented a robust association between cannabis use, heavy use, and misuse with future risk of schizophrenia.1-3 Despite adjusting for covariates, including current psychotic symptoms, other psychopathology, and social integration,(1) the ability of these models to determine the degree to which cannabis causes schizophrenia is limited and dependent on their ability to capture all relevant confounders. When evaluating efforts to reduce cannabis use as a means of [...]

Schoeder, Cornelius Hess, Burkhard Madea, Jens Meiler, Christa E. Müller Forensic Toxicology, 2018, 36, 385-403. Doi : 10.1007/s11419-018-0415-z Abstract Purpose : In the present study we characterized a series of synthetic cannabinoids containing various heterocyclic scaffolds that had been identified as constituents of “Spice”, a preparation sold on the illicit drug market. All compounds were further investigated as potential ligands of the orphan receptors GPR18 and GPR55 that interact with some cannabinoids. Methods : The compounds were studied in radioligand binding assays to determine their affinity for [...]

Doi : 10.20883/jms.367 ABSTRACT Cannabinoids from Cannabis sativa L. play an important role as natural products in clinics. The major cannabinoids compromise tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) and cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) and its decarboxylated analogs. In this review, we focus on often neglected minor cannabinoids and discuss biosynthetic and chemical degradation routes to other neglected cannabinoids in Cannabis sativa starting from THCA, CBDA and cannabichromenic acid (CBCA). Based on the literature, patents and scientific reports, essential routes for the chemical modifi cation of cannabinoids are discussed to explain [...]

Allenspach and Christian Steuer Journal of Analytical Science and Technology, 2018, 9, 27, 1-10 doi : 10.1186/s40543-018-0159-8 Abstract Background : Currently, an increasing demand of cannabis-derived products for recreational and medical use is observed. Therefore, the reliable and fast quantification of cannabinoids in hemp samples is essential for the control of product from Cannabis sativa, L. strains. In general, gas chromatography (GC) is the method of choice for the quantification of cannabinoids whereas this method is time consuming and the [...]
