GC-MS identification and quantification of the synthetic cannabinoid MDMB-4en-PINACA in cannabis-derived material seized in the Turin Metropolitan Area (Italy)

CONCLUSIONS: The adulteration of low-THC cannabis products with synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonists is a widespread phenomenon today. Since these substances are potentially more toxic than THC, their consumption poses a high risk of overdose for unaware users and a health-threatening situation. This study confirmed the sporadic presence on the market of CBD-prevalent cannabis products adulterated with MDMB-4en-PINACA.PMID:35658890 | DOI:10.2174/1381612828666220603142859
