    Ahh fair. Maybe I used the wrong term. I guess I mean novel barely tested cannabinoids made through chemically altering cannabinoids naturally present in hemp. It’s a bit of a mouthful though, and these cannabinoids are generally synthesized from CBD and CBG since none are naturally present in high enough quantities to be economically viable.

    To me main the main difference between spice and these newer synthesized cannabinoids is:

    1. Some have some decent testing.
    2. All start from some natural cannabinoid.
    3. Most variations are riding on argument “well it exist at 0.2% in the plant naturally, so it must be safe to smoke a vape full of it.”

    THC-A and d8 seem fine. A lot of the alphabet soup ass variants seem like a race to the bottom. I think long term safety testing should come before mass production.
