English

Etymology

From being an alternative to delta-9-THC, the psychoactive cannabinoid principally found in cannabis and widely prohibited.

Noun

alternative cannabinoid (plural alternative cannabinoids)

(chiefly US) Any psychoactive cannabinoid that is synthetically or semisynthetically derived from delta-9-THC and is not naturally present in cannabis except in negligible amounts.
Synonyms: altnoid, noid, alt-cannabinoid, hemp-derived cannabinoid, derived psychoactive cannabis product, DPCP.

Usage notes

Used chiefly of derivatives (mostly isomers or homologs) of THC that are not widely prohibited, such as those that were inadvertently legalized in the U.S.A. via a loophole in the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (e.g., delta-8-THC, delta-10-THC, HHC, and THCP).

THCA is sometimes included, but this is controversial due to it naturally occurring in cannabis in substantial amounts; as well as not being psychoactive (without being decarboxylated into THC).

Not to be confused with neocannabinoids (confusingly also called synthetic cannabinoids, or K2 or spice in slang), such as dronabinol or nabilone.
