// Definition
Fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) inhibitors are compounds that block the enzyme responsible for breaking down anandamide, thereby increasing endocannabinoid levels. A clinical trial in France resulted in serious adverse effects and at least one death.
// From the Episode
Skunkman Sam referenced the French clinical trial where synthetic FAAH inhibitors caused severe problems. The panel distinguished this from natural cannabis use, emphasizing that the drug was a synthetic compound that blocked the endocannabinoid system's normal function. Media headlines misleadingly called it a 'cannabis drug' when it was entirely synthetic.
