Legal weed ... synthetic cannabis product Kronic / Pic: Liam Driver

A SYNTHETIC cannabis that mimics the effects of marijuana is being sold legally at a growing number of adult shops, tobacconists and herbal retailers.

Health experts fear users of the drug, with the street name Kronic, face the same adverse effects of cannabis including heart palpitations, severe hallucinations, delusions and psychosis.

The legal weed, potentially up to 100 times stronger than regular cannabis, has been available online in Australia for about two years.

But after reports emerged of its widespread use in the mining industry - where it does not show up in on-site drug tests - retailers have rushed to cash in on its increasing popularity.

A mix of herbs and chemicals, Kronic contains synthetic cannabinoids, which mimic the effects of regular cannabis to produce reported feelings of euphoria and relaxation. But it does not contain THC, the main psychoactive compound in regular cannabis that makes it a prohibited drug in Australia.

Unlike other low-key synthetic cannabis products such as K2 or Spice,Kronic's blatant pitch is to get smokers "high".

National Cannabis Prevention and Information Centre director Jan Copeland said synthetic cannabis substitutes like Kronic were originally designed to be used on laboratory rats.

"People have no idea what they're smoking," she said.

Professor Copeland said overseas research found long-term use could lead to "nasty withdrawals similar to cannabis but also heroin".

"When something is sold as legal, herbal and, god forbid, natural, it makes it easier for young people to want to try it," she said.

Users should be concerned about products promoted as being legal, with the same effects as an illegal drug, "as little was known about the short and long-term harms", said a Health and Ageing Department spokeswoman.

"The ingredients in these products are often not disclosed and their health effects are not known," she said.

But a spokesman for Kronic's New Zealand manufacturer Light Years said the type of young people likely to smoke cannabis would think Kronic was "uncool" because it was legal.

"The demographic (for Kronic) is older people who may have smoked a bit of pot in their younger days but do not want to risk their jobs or a criminal conviction," the spokesman said.

An Intergovernmental Committee on Drugs was expected to meet yesterday to discuss outlawing Kronic and similar synthetic drugs.

you are slow ...this synthetic weed has been around for about 2years , and one thing good about this synthetic weed is your urine wont be detected :D;)...http://www.legalbuds.com/



ps: theres even website that teach you how to make the drug ...very very very easy .....

Actually I remember seeing things like these advertised in US magazines in the 80s.

I never was much into growing the weed, but an ex-neighbour of mine got a grow-ops basement and controlled systmes to optimize growth and THC content. I never had to worry about looking for the stuff.

He's more worried about the unregistered guns in his home than the plants if the cops were to bust his place. Nice guy.

Cheers!

Used to grow my own at home on the balcony of my 3rd story apartment in Carlton, Sydney. All you need to do is germinate a handful of seeds and select the healthiest looking ones to pots. I selected 2. In 3 months, it grew to about a metre high, even through the mild winter. All the weeds need is plenty of sunshine. Needless to say my house became a gathering point for the youngsters from my snooker club.

During alternate weekends we'd head out to the national park nearby, do a little fishing, sausages, tasty black mussels and lamp chops on the barbie and of course my home grown weed. Miss those days.

I've done some research. Jwh018 is used as a bonsai fertilizer, could be ordered from china.

As for growing, where you get the seed to begin with?

Sometimes they come in the bud when you buy the pot. In Canada, you could buy through mail order (seeds are legal).

I've noticed hemp seeds mixed with other seeds in pet shop bird feed too.

BTW, you are aware of the penalty in Sg for cultivation.

Good luck.

Cheers!

Indeed Hemp and weed may be the same plant but strain produced is different in terms of THC content. That is why there so many different names for the weed you get.

I'm not in Singapore. :)
