Cannabicyclohexanol
Cannabicyclohexanol[edit | edit source]
Cannabicyclohexanol is a synthetic cannabinoid that has been used in the formulation of synthetic cannabis products. It is known for its potent psychoactive effects and has been a subject of interest in both medical and legal contexts.
Chemical Structure[edit | edit source]
Cannabicyclohexanol, also known as CP-47,497-C8, is a derivative of the compound CP-47,497. It is characterized by the addition of a cyclohexyl group to the structure, which significantly increases its affinity for the cannabinoid receptors in the brain. The chemical formula for Cannabicyclohexanol is C26H40O2.
Mechanism of Action[edit | edit source]
Cannabicyclohexanol acts as a full agonist at the CB1 receptor and CB2 receptor, which are part of the endocannabinoid system. This system is involved in regulating various physiological processes including mood, memory, and pain sensation. The binding of Cannabicyclohexanol to these receptors mimics the effects of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the active component of cannabis.
Effects[edit | edit source]
The effects of Cannabicyclohexanol are similar to those of THC but are often more intense due to its higher potency. Users may experience euphoria, altered perception, and relaxation. However, adverse effects such as anxiety, paranoia, and tachycardia have also been reported.
Legal Status[edit | edit source]
Due to its potent effects and potential for abuse, Cannabicyclohexanol has been classified as a controlled substance in many countries. It is often included in the list of substances banned under synthetic cannabinoid regulations.
Health Implications[edit | edit source]
The use of Cannabicyclohexanol has been associated with several health risks. Acute intoxication can lead to severe psychological and physiological effects, and chronic use may result in dependency and withdrawal symptoms. The lack of regulation in synthetic cannabis products also poses a risk of contamination and inconsistent dosing.
