I read somewhere that this is a synthetic version of shrooms. I was just wondering how it compares and if its worth it to go out and find some. I checked erowid but i never really get what some people on there say about there experiances

CP 55,940, is a cannabinoid which mimics the effects of naturally occurring THC (the psychoactive compound found in marijuana). CP 55,940 was created by Pfizer in 1974 and was never marketed because of its highly psychoactive nature. It is currently used by scientists to study cannabinoid effects in biology. Some effects that have been noted are a greatly decreased rates of lever pressing in exposed mice, and a greater reaction to opiates in exposed mice. CP-55940 is 40 times more potent than Δ9-THC, and fully antagonized by rimonabant (SR141716A) (Life Sci 1996;58:1239-47; last update 010106). CP 55940 produces cannabis-like effects in humans at a dose of 0.25 - 1 milligram and could potentially be used as a legal alternative to medicinal marijuana but is unlikely to be marketed for this purpose due to its abuse potential.

There are a lot of journal abstracts, but it's hard to tell what the effect might be on human beings. It seems that as it could be used to counter pain, it will produce cannabis-like effects.

Does anyone know more?
