Overview:
HU-210 is a potent analgesic with many of the same effects as natural THC.
According to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, HU-210 was discovered in Spice Gold products seized at the US border in January 2009. Over 100 pounds of Spice products were seized based on this finding, although there has been some dispute as to its validity as there has been no independent confirmation of these results and none of the other laboratory analyses of this product have detected HU-210. It is possible that the active ingredients may have been varied even between different batches of the same flavor of Spice product, or that the structurally related compound CP 47,497 was misidentified as HU-210.
Side Effects and Adverse Reactions:
HU-210 is a research chemical. Research chemicals are experimental chemicals that are not approved for human consumption. This is because not enough data exists currently about their side effects, adverse reactions, long term damage, addiction potential, etc. Although some people are willing to ingest research chemicals, it is not reasonable to assume that they are in any way safe to use recreationally.
HU-210 and Drug Tests:
HU-210 is a synthetic cannabinoid that currently cannot be detected with drug tests. This is because of how drug tests work. The basic concept is that your body attempts to break down any drugs you ingest. Metabolites are formed as part of this process; testing looks for the specific types of metabolites that could only occur as a result of drug taking. There is currently (as of Nov, 2009) no test that tests for the metabolites of synthetic cannabinoids. Rumor has it that scientists are developing a drug test that tests for them, although, the development and implementation process could take years.
Research:

E-books:
The NeuroSoup Trip Guide - This e-book discusses: Set, Setting, and Preparation for a Trip, Tips for Tripsitters, Aspects of the Entheogenic Experience, Working with Difficult Experiences, and Integration. Adverse psychological reactions, like flashbacks and HPPD, may potentially be avoided with proper preparation before and integration after entheogenic journeys. Thus, this e-book serves the purpose of harm reduction education. For clarity, NeuroSoup does not advocate the use of illegal, quasi-legal, or legal drugs. All substances that affect the central nervous system (legal or illegal) can have side effects, adverse reactions, and negative interactions with other drugs. Abstinence is always the best way to protect one's health.
