Chemistry[edit | edit source]

JWH-250 was discovered by, and named after, Dr. John W. Huffman. It is a synthetic cannabinoid, specifically a naphthoylindole, which acts as a potent but non-selective full agonist for the cannabinoid receptor. It was first synthesized in the mid-1990s for research purposes.

Effects[edit | edit source]

The effects of JWH-250 can be similar to those of natural cannabis but it can also produce significantly different effects. Its effects are mainly mediated by its action on the cannabinoid receptors in the brain.
