In pharmacology, cannabinoids are "compounds having the cannabinoid structure. They were originally extracted from Cannabis sativa L. The most pharmacologically active constituents are tetrahydrocannabinol; cannabinol; and cannabidiol."[1]

Synthetic cannaboids, known as K2, Spice, Demon or Genie are also used for narcotic actions.[2][3]
