    Product Description

    RCS-4 is a synthetic cannabinoid, structurally similar to certain JWH compounds, that has been detected in herbal mixtures.1 RCS-4 4-hydroxyphenyl metabolite (Item No. 14345) is an expected urinary metabolite of RCS-4 (Item No. 10645).2 This metabolite is potentially useful as a metabolic marker for the identification of RCS-4 ingestion and is therefore intended for research and forensic purposes.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
