The market for synthetic cannabinoid smoking mixtures (sometimes called ‘spice’, ‘synthetic cannabis’ or ‘noids’) is well established, although UK prevalence is still largely unknown. The vast majority of the market is made up of pre-packaged branded products. These branded products contain a nonpsychoactive dried plant base that has been dipped or sprayed with one or more of a range of synthetic cannabinoids.
