This is what i posted in the Other drugs thread, there is
still very little info on internet about synthetic Cannabinoid s [ab]use. I never got a tolerance to Cannabis or that what some people reports here reported. Has a horrible addictive nature.

Depends very much of the pattern of usage of your friend. And what scale he/ she scales the power s of synthetic Cannabinoid s have these day s ?
My use was long ago, i stopped cause off warnings here about the full-agonist vs partial. Cannabis/ THC is partial, and that makes it way saver in use, no recorded death s.
Even tasted the OG Spice, which was weaker then the Weed overhear. And a UK version of K11 called Black-Mamba or something alike. 1/6 th of my normal dose of Weed. Was so strong i was wiped of my feet, literally knocked me out [safely]. Sythoid s can put me out, Cannabis can t. You already see where this can end wrong.
Luck is they are water soluble, at least when i used em, around the time AK-48 and 2_NE_1 dis-appeared. Was when i had enough, waying benefit against risk Switched back to Weed. Without Discontinuation Syndrome. Which can occur when dosing 24/ 7, and trying the same i read. So if the person really has the desire to stop.
This are i think the basic solution s. Switch to Weed, my habit was the same as when i smoked. So 3/ 5 times a day max. But many adjust to dosing more often compensating the shortened effect s. Quit year s ago, so how the situation is atm ?
[full vs partial/ duration/ strength ?] =>
already answered, though maybe compare the strength to Weed other way of looking at it.
Or taper and switch and/ or substitute Cannabis. Another option. AFAIK ?
What is in the back of my mind is that CT from synthoid s is dangerous.
Again this is based on old info. But the reason for including tapering and introducing Weed. No personal experience, despite the short duration i never changed my schedule.
Seem s safer. Other med s, besides don t get addicted to another dangerous substance.
Would probably go for calming agent s: Benzodiazepinen, Pregabalin/ Gabapentin and maybe if possible a Lowering Bloodpressure med Clonidine/ Monoxidine/ Tiazenadine
But i have no experience with their use. They wee used for Cannabis discontinuation syndrome, nicest term i could think off. [tried to put em in order of most addictive to less]
But when needed these.Maybe someone else with [personal] experience can chime in on this with more knowledge.
@TheHolyRedCow, , wishes the best. Best choice my opinion.
In US they sell all kinds of intermediates derived from Cannabis. If US maybe a option to look into. Delta-8-THC, Delta-10-THC. I only tried HHC and HHC-p, the latter a sedating kinda THC. Again no [personal experience].
