To whomever edits this page,

I would like to open a discussion to change the definition of synthetic cannabinoids and add a subcategory or something. I find the term misleading. I believe there should be a greater distinction between molecularly altered cannabinoids and synthetic replication of naturally occurring cannabinoids. This page does talk about how "synthetic cannabinoids" differ from naturally occurring cannabinoids but I feel the term "synthetic cannabinoids" does not provide enough distinction. "Molecularly Altered Cannabinoids" or something would be more appropriate for people to really understand that these chemicals really are not completely different from any cannabinoid or its synthetically produced equivalent. The only similarity between the two is that they both react with the endocannabinoid system which I understand by definition cannabinoids is a group of chemical compounds that react with with the endocannabinoid system and by that definition these altered molecules fall within that definition. However, to help clarify and distinct between the synthetically produced cannabinoids found in nature and those that have been chemically altered in the lab couldn't a more distinct name be given to them? Just would like to open up the conversation about this.

It really came to my attention from this article https://edition.cnn.com/2018/04/02/health/fake-weed-illinois-death-bn/index.html

Thanks
