'''MMB-CHMICA''' (also known as '''MMBC''' and '''Cimaca''') is a synthetic cannabinoid that is an indole-based cannabinoid that has been sold online as a designer drug. It was first identified in 2014 in Japan, although it emerged in Europe in 2015. MMB-CHMICA is believed to have a very high binding affinity for the peripheral CB2 cannabinoid receptor, which could potentially lead to a range of serious health issues.

MMB-CHMICA is an indole-based synthetic cannabinoid that is a potent agonist of the CB1 receptor and has been sold online as a designer drug. It is a derivative of [[indole]] and [[carboxamide]].
'''MMB-CHMICA''' is a synthetic cannabinoid that has been used in scientific research and recreational drug use.

==Pharmacology==
== Chemical Structure ==
MMB-CHMICA acts as a highly potent full agonist of the CB1 receptor. The compound is believed to have a binding affinity for the CB1 receptor which is 1.5 times greater than that of the well-known cannabinoid [[THC]]. This high binding affinity is believed to be responsible for the significant number of severe side effects associated with synthetic cannabinoids.

MMB-CHMICA is chemically classified as an indole-based synthetic cannabinoid. Its structure includes a methyl ester group, which is a common feature in many synthetic cannabinoids. The compound is known for its high affinity and selectivity for the CB1 receptor, which contributes to its potent psychoactive effects.


==Effects==
== Pharmacology ==
The effects of MMB-CHMICA are similar to those of other synthetic cannabinoids and include [[euphoria]], [[relaxation]], [[perception alterations]], and [[appetite increase]]. However, the compound is also associated with a number of severe side effects including [[seizures]], [[psychosis]], [[tachycardia]], and in some cases, death.
MMB-CHMICA acts as a full agonist at the CB1 receptor, which is primarily responsible for the psychoactive effects of cannabinoids. The activation of this receptor by MMB-CHMICA leads to a range of effects, including altered perception, mood changes, and cognitive impairment.

== Legal Status ==
MMB-CHMICA is illegal in many countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Sweden. It is also listed as a Schedule I controlled substance in the United States.
Due to its potential for abuse and lack of medical use, MMB-CHMICA has been classified as a controlled substance in many jurisdictions.

Overview[edit]

MMB-CHMICA is a synthetic cannabinoid that has been used in scientific research and recreational drug use. It is a potent agonist of the cannabinoid receptors, primarily the CB1 receptor, and is known for its psychoactive effects. MMB-CHMICA is part of a class of compounds known as designer drugs, which are often created to mimic the effects of cannabis while avoiding legal restrictions.

Chemical Structure[edit]

Chemical structure of MMB-CHMICA

MMB-CHMICA is chemically classified as an indole-based synthetic cannabinoid. Its structure includes a methyl ester group, which is a common feature in many synthetic cannabinoids. The compound is known for its high affinity and selectivity for the CB1 receptor, which contributes to its potent psychoactive effects.

Pharmacology[edit]

MMB-CHMICA acts as a full agonist at the CB1 receptor, which is primarily responsible for the psychoactive effects of cannabinoids. The activation of this receptor by MMB-CHMICA leads to a range of effects, including altered perception, mood changes, and cognitive impairment. The compound's high potency and efficacy at the CB1 receptor make it a subject of interest in both pharmacological research and forensic analysis.

Legal Status[edit]

Due to its potential for abuse and lack of medical use, MMB-CHMICA has been classified as a controlled substance in many jurisdictions. It is often included in legislation targeting new psychoactive substances (NPS) and synthetic cannabinoids. The legal status of MMB-CHMICA can vary significantly between countries, with some having specific bans on the compound and others including it under broader synthetic cannabinoid regulations.

Health Effects[edit]

The use of MMB-CHMICA has been associated with a range of adverse health effects. These can include tachycardia, hypertension, nausea, vomiting, and anxiety. In severe cases, use of the compound can lead to psychosis, seizures, and even death. The variability in the potency and purity of synthetic cannabinoids like MMB-CHMICA further complicates the risk profile for users.
