'''2NE1''' (also known as '''APICA | '''2NE1''' (also known as '''APICA''') is a novel synthetic designer [[psychoactive class::cannabinoid]]. It has been shown to act as a potent [[agonist]] for the CB1 and CB2 [[cannabinoid]] [[receptor]]s<ref>Samuel D. Banister, Jordyn Stuart, Richard C. Kevin, Amelia Edington, Mitchell Longworth, Shane M. Wilkinson, Corinne Beinat, Alexandra S. Buchanan, David E. Hibbs, Michelle Glass, Mark Connor, Iain S. McGregor, and Michael Kassiou.
