Synthetic cannabinoids (SCs) are a class of synthetic chemicals with cannabis-like properties, and little is known about their pharmacological and toxicological effects. The objective of this study was to explore the effects of SCs and the underlying motivations of use among participants with lived experiences. Content analysis of experiences of people using SCs was carried out based on online discussions. A total of 1660 posts from 50 threads between 2004 and 2016 were examined. Relevant information was recorded on characteristics of users as well as on characteristics of SCs, the modality of their use, and the SC-related experienced effects and toxicity. Users exchanged online significant information on SCs consumption. While a growing amount of attention has been given to the chemical and pharmacological profile of SCs, very little is known about the subjective components of such use. It remains important to study the lived experiences of people who used novel psychoactive substances (NPSs) to implement prevention and treatment, and to guide future research in the field.
合成大麻素（SCs）是一类具有类似大麻特性的合成化学品，人们对其药理和毒理作用知之甚少。本研究的目的是探讨合成大麻素的影响以及有过使用经历的参与者使用它们的潜在动机。基于在线讨论，对使用合成大麻素者的经历进行了内容分析。共检查了2004年至2016年间50个主题帖中的1660篇帖子。记录了有关使用者特征以及合成大麻素特征、使用方式、与合成大麻素相关的体验效果和毒性的相关信息。使用者在网上交流了有关合成大麻素消费的重要信息。虽然人们越来越关注合成大麻素的化学和药理学特征，但对这种使用的主观成分却知之甚少。研究使用新型精神活性物质（NPSs）者的实际经历对于实施预防和治疗以及指导该领域未来的研究仍然很重要。
