1-pentyl-3-(1-naphthoyl)indole is a synthetic cannabinoid found in several versions of the herbal mixture “Spice.” Illicit use of this synthetic cannabinoid centers on its psychoactive effects which mimic those of Δ⁹-THC in cannabis. While considerably more potent than similar amounts of cannabis, 1-pentyl-3-(1-naphthoyl)indole also presents significant challenges for detection by typical Δ⁹-THC testing assays. In July, 2009, the US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) listed JWH-018 on its Drugs and Chemicals of Concern list.

For those synthetic cannabinoids currently controlled at the federal level, our certified solution standards of these substances are DEA-exempt, allowing laboratories to place orders without additional regulatory paperwork. For US customers, state specific regulatory requirements may apply.
