Most illegal drugs are synthetic. Non synthetic drugs are those that are produced naturally by nature. There are very few of those. So in answer to your question, YES, synthetic drugs can be illegal.

It sounds like this is akin to playing with fire. If the drugs show up in your system, you will likely face charges.

In some cases, certain plants which are not marijuana, but which have the same affect, are quite legal. Synthetics may or may not be legal, depending. However, this is not the only inquiry. For example, if there is any substance which impairs your ability to drive, you could still possibly be charged with operating while impaired/intoxicated.

The Food & Drug Administration has a schedule of controlled drugs which may be legal or illegal to possess without a presecription. The Code of Alabama and the United States Code each have a listing of drugs that are illegal to possess. Synthetic cannabis is now or soon will be illegal to possess in the State of Alabama.

No. However, because the chemistry continues to evolve often faster than the law certain synthetic drugs will follow through the cracks. Ultimately, I predict that biologists will be able to insert DNA for THC into many common house plants which will effectively end the prohibition on marijuana.

There are thousands of compounds that are chemical "versions' of other drugs. If they are listed as illegal drugs they are considered illegal to possess or sell. If they are not listed they are not illegal, but you will still be arrested and charged until they are tested. All drugs are dangerous, especially ones made in someone's basement. Never take any drug you buy from a drug dealer, you have no way of knowing what it is or how potent it is. The wrong does can kill you or react with alcohol or other drugs.

Synthetic formulations of controlled substances are just as illegal as naturally occurring controlled substances. Marijuana is a Scheduled narcotic and it doesn't matter who made it.

You should assume that they are not legal. Guessing wrong could cause you a lot of problems. A drug may be not prohibited one day and then it may become prohibited the next day. Indulge at your own risk.

I strongly suggest that instead of wondering if some drug is legal or really just not prohibited, do not use it under any circumstance. It is illegal to operate a vehicle under the influence of any drug. Including prescribed medication.
