APINAC (AKB-57, N-(1-Adamantyl)-1-pentylindazole-3-carboxylate) is a drug that acts as an agonist for the cannabinoid receptors.[2] It was detected in Slovenia in 2016[3] and is on the UNODC list of synthetic cannabinoids.[4]

Legality

APINAC is covered by the UK blanket ban on synthetic cannabinoids.

APINAC can be bought by labs as a reference standard.[5]
