TY - JOUR PY - 2023// TI - Intoxications with synthetic cannabinoids JO - Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Geneeskunde A1 - Zanen, Jolanda G. A1 - Leegwater, Emiel A1 - Schippers, Emile F. A1 - Wilms, Erik B. SP - D7145 EP - D7145 VL - 166 IS - N2 - Synthetic Cannabinoid Receptor Agonists (SCRAs) are a group of New Psychoactive Substances. They are used recreationally to mimic the effects of THC in cannabis. However, THC is a partial agonist of the CB1-receptor and SCRAs are full agonists. Because of this specificity and potency serious adverse events may occur among which psychological, cardiovascular, and gastro-intestinal symptoms. Because of the low incidence in the Netherlands clinical information on SCRA intoxications is limited, making diagnosis and treatment difficult. In this clinical lesson, two cases of SCRA intoxications are described followed by treatment recommendations.
