Lab Wall Posters


Updated February 2022

Several novel synthetic cannabinoids have recently emerged in the illicit drug supply after the introduction of a synthetic cannabinoid structural-class regulation implemented by China in July 2021. New cannabimimetic scaffolds observed include the OXIZID series and a new methylene spacer, ABD-FUBIATA. Cayman's scientists have developed this laboratory guide for bench chemists and toxicologists to help identify novel synthetic cannabinoids.

In this guide for drug identification and naming:

  • Common Synthetic Cannabinoid Mass Spec Fragments
  • Mass Spectrum of MMB-FUBINACA and Tips for Interpretation
  • Synthetic Cannabinoid Naming Conventions by Head, Core, and Tail Groups
