Résumé :
Letter and report from the ACMD explains the findings of the council's NPS committee on these cannabinoids.
Cannabinoids are an increasingly diverse class of chemical compounds that produce psychoactive effects similar to those produced by cannabis.
The report recommends a revised generic description, but also suggests the development of an alternative approach based on the common mechanism of action of these substances as activators of the CB1 receptor in brain, which can readily be assessed by a simple biochemical test.
