Chemistry[edit | edit source]

JWH-124 is part of the naphthoylindole family of synthetic cannabinoids. It is structurally related to other synthetic cannabinoids including JWH-018, JWH-073, and JWH-200. The compound is a full agonist at both the CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors, with a moderate selectivity for CB2.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

As a full agonist at the CB1 and CB2 receptors, JWH-124 can produce similar effects to those of cannabis. However, due to its synthetic nature and the lack of other cannabinoids and terpenes found in natural cannabis, the effects may be significantly different and potentially more potent.

Legal Status[edit | edit source]

The legal status of JWH-124 varies by country and state. In many places, it is considered a controlled substance due to its potential for abuse and the lack of medical use.
