Okay kiddo, so you know how there's a plant called marijuana that people sometimes use to get high or to help with things like pain and anxiety?
Well, scientists have figured out a way to make something called a synthetic cannabinoid, which is like a fake version of the stuff in marijuana that makes people feel a certain way. They make it in a lab instead of growing it like a plant.
The thing is, synthetic cannabinoids are much stronger than regular marijuana, and they can be really dangerous. They can make people feel really sick, or even cause them to have seizures or hallucinations.
Because synthetic cannabinoids are so dangerous, they're illegal in a lot of places. It's really important to stay away from them and stick to safe, natural ways of helping yourself feel better.
