Talk:NM-2201

THJ-2201 (1-​[(5-​fluoropentyl)-​1H-​indazol-​3-​yl](naphthalen-​1-​yl)methanone) is a synthetic cannabinoid and analog of AM-2201. It has been marketed by many research chemical vendors as a legal alternative to the popular AM-2201, which had been banned in 2011. Cannabinoids are commonly smoked or vaporized to achieve a quick onset of effects and rapid offset. Nm-2201 is orally active when dissolved in a lipid, which can increase the duration significantly. Like other cannabinoids, it is insoluble in water but dissolves in ethanol and lipids. Unlike cannabis, the chronic abuse of synthetic cannabinoids has been associated with multiple deaths and more dangerous side effects and toxicity in general. Therefore, it is strongly discouraged to take this substance for extended periods of time or in excessive doses.
