JWH-018 (1-Pentyl-3-(1-naphthoyl)indole) is a synthetic cannabinoid that acts as a full agonist at the CB1 and CB2 receptors. It was originally developed by Dr. John W. Huffman in the 1990s as part of research into cannabinoid receptor systems. It is known for its potent psychoactive effects, often stronger than THC (the active component in cannabis), and has been found in "spice" or "K2" products marketed as cannabis alternatives.
