DESCRIPTION
"Spice" is a product line sold as a legal herb-based alternative to cannabis. The ingredients list contains only herbs and no cannabinoid constituents. Since it began being sold in approximately 2006, the listed ingredients have seemed suspiciously unlikely to produce its reported effects. Numerous organizations have now tested the material and three chemicals have been identified in various Spice products including JWH-018, HU-210, and a homologue of CP-47,497.
