JWH-018
Aliases: Am-678
Summary
JWH-018 is a full CB1 and CB2 agonist with 5-fold higher affinity than THC, eliminating the self-limiting ceiling effect of cannabis. This produces a steep and unforgiving dose-response curve. Unlike THC (a partial agonist), full agonism can cause severe harm including seizures, psychosis, strokes, and cardiac events.
