At this point, when using a synthetic drug like spice, or in real marijuana with its primary psychoactive ingredient known as THC, both act on the same brain pathway.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">After smoking or inhaling these substances through a vaporizer, the drug travels directly to the lungs, then to the heart and from there to the bloodstream, to enter the brain directly. It should be clarified that the process takes very little time and the effects can be felt almost immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The effects of synthetic cannabinoids can be unpredictable, however it is a fact that they endanger the lives of those who consume them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">What are the effects of its consumption?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Nausea and vomiting<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Headache<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Sweating<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Muscle spasms<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Increased heart rate<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Increased body temperature<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Dehydration<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Tremors<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">However, it is also known that frequent consumption can develop arrhythmias, kidney failure, tachycardias, seizures, vascular collapse, hypertension, strokes and even death.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">Also the psychological damage, among which are: anxiety, psychosis, confusion, panic attacks, paranoia, delusions, hallucinations and episodes of violence and aggression.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">Do not forget that if you want to know the list of prohibited substances emitted by VADA, you can consult the following link: <a href=\"https:\/\/wbcboxing.com\/en\/voluntary-anti-doping-association-official-prohibited-list\/\"><span class=\"s2\">https:\/\/wbcboxing.com\/en\/voluntary-anti-doping-association-official-prohibited-list\/<\/span><\/a> \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><span class=\"s1\">TAKE CARE OF YOUR BODY, IT&#8217;S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is synthetic marijuana?
