JWH-073 is actually a CB1/CB2 full agonist and the claim that it is a partial agonist was not and isn't backable by any sources. The only thing this noid has to do with partial agonism is that some of its metabolites are low-affinity partial agonists

'''JWH-073''' is an analgesic chemical from the naphthoylindole family that acts as a partial agonist at both the [[CB1]] and [[CB2]] [[psychoactive class::cannabinoid]] [[receptor]]s.

Cannabinoids are commonly smoked or vaporized to achieve a quick [[onset]] of effects and rapid [[offset]]. JWH-073 is [[oral]]ly active when dissolved in a lipid, which can increase the duration significantly. Like other [[cannabinoid]]s, it is insoluble in water but dissolves in [[ethanol]] and lipids.

*'''[[Effect::Spontaneous tactile sensations]]''' - The "body high" of JWH-073 can be described as a warm and soft pleasurable, all-encompassing tingling sensation that spreads over the body in a prior to initial ingestion. It maintains a consistent presence that quickly rises with the onset and hits its limit once the peak has been reached before immediately dissipating.

*'''[[Effect::Changes in gravity]]''' - JWH-073, like other cannabinoids, is capable of causing vertigo with which the environment appears to be spinning or oscillating. At moderate doses, it can spontaneously induce the sensation of falling, which can be overwhelming and uncomfortable. The propensity of this is greatly reduced and eliminated in proportion to tolerance.

JWH-073, unlike many synthetic cannabinoids, is a partial agonist of the CB1 receptors. Because JWH-073 is a partial agonist, unlike most cannabinoids, harm mediated by CB1 receptor agonism can be less severe than its full agonist counterparts. JWH-018 has been shown to cause profound changes in CB1 receptor density following administration, causing desensitization to its effects more rapidly than related cannabinoids with partial agonism.<ref>Atwood, B.K., et al., "JWH018, a common constituent of 'Spice' herbal blends, is a potent and efficacious cannabinoid CB1 receptor agonist."</ref><ref>http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1476-5381.2009.00582.x/abstract</ref> JWH-073, like other cannabinoids, has also been known to exacerbate pre-existing psychological disorders causing intense paranoia, anxiety and agitation; however, [[Δ9-THC]] itself has been known to do this as well.<ref>http://dx.doi.org/10.1111%2Fj.1360-0443.2010.03119.x</ref>

Tolerance to many of the effects of JWH-073 [[Time to full tolerance::develops with prolonged and repeated use]]. This results in users having to administer increasingly large doses to achieve the same effects. After that, it takes about [[Time to half tolerance::3 - 7 days]] for the tolerance to be reduced to half and [[Time to zero tolerance::1 - 2 weeks]] to be back at baseline (in the absence of further consumption). JWH-073 presents cross-tolerance with [[Cross-tolerance::all [[cannabinoids]]]], meaning that after the consumption of JWH-073 all cannabinoids will have a reduced effect.
