kinda nice to know some backstory. I really dont enjoy jwh or any related compounds, they are way to easily abused and Overdosed and then youa re forced to feel like shit for the next6hrs thinking you're going to die, as unicorns burst out your forehead in a single file fashion.

I'll say it: abusing synthetic cannabinoids is dangerous. I believe this because I've done it. Tolerance builds up so quickly that in a matter of months you have to smoke stupid-large doses just to feel different. There is no clever thinking while on JWH, nor is there anxious thinking or negative thinking or any thinking at all. Nothing but quintessential amotivation syndrome. It may be a cure for boredom, but at the cost of intelligence. I haven't smoked any synthetics for almost a year and I still feel dumb.
P.S. THC and synthetic cannabinoids are CB agonists, not antagonists.

I believe tho that, alot of these 'overdoses' and 'emergancies' are due to the fact that most people associate these substances with cannabis directly, and assume that it is as relatively harmful as cannabis itself, and so they lack the respect of these substances and abuse them accordingly, resulting in a shitty experience when things go bad, kids can't handle themselves or what they chose to put in their bodies so they tell mom, mom calls poison control or they end up in the ER.

It isn't the smoke. (Sorry, I jest..)
I never smoked the JWH analogues, thus I have no personal experience to relate. Regardless, there is really no telling what the long term effects are going to be as we lack research on the subject. I smoked 'natural' cannabis for 10+ years, ever day, before I quit. It took a good three months to get over the withdrawal symptoms (insomnia, mostly) and a good year (or more) for my mind to fully clear (regained memory, stopped coughing, gained a social life, etc).
I would never try to take away somebodies right to consume any drug that they want, but for those that think there are no consequences, they are sorely mistaken. The consequences might be minimal, but there is always a price to pay. With JWH analogues, and RCs in general, we really have no idea how big the price is going to be.
