JWH-307 belongs to the naphthoylindole family of synthetic cannabinoids. It is structurally related to compounds such as JWH-018 and JWH-073, which are also naphthoylindoles.

JWH-307 acts as a full agonist at the CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors. It has some selectivity for CB2, with a binding affinity of 8.9nM at CB1 and 5.2nM at CB2.

Effects[edit | edit source]

The effects of JWH-307 in humans are not well studied. However, due to its full agonist activity at the cannabinoid receptors, it is likely to produce effects similar to those of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main psychoactive compound in cannabis.
