“10 times more active than THC” What does that mean?

Question by barbequelighter: “10 times more active than THC” What does that mean?
Huffman told LiveScience. “You can get very high on [JWH=018]. It’s about 10 times more active than THC,” the active ingredient in marijuana.

How does he quantify activity? Is there a way to measure receptor response per mass of active ingredient?

Also, the article proceeds to use “K2” and “THC” interchangeably, which would be wrong since it sounds like Huffman is only talking about the active ingredient in the K2, JWH-018. Which, sounds like it can vary in amount since it’s a synthetic additive.

Thoughts?

They are his best guesses. Good for you to question the source! It means that from this chemist’s perspective, that K2 sticks to the cannabinoid brain receptor about 10 times greater than THC. Yes I have seen testing that can measure brain receptors. I do not see an inter changeable use of K2 and thc. My thought is to stay away from this junk K2 and salvia and other claims of ‘legal bud’.
