Onternabez (also known as HU-308, HU308, PPP-003, and ARDS-003) is a synthetic cannabinoid that acts as a potent cannabinoid agonist. It is highly selective for the cannabinoid-2 receptor (CB2 receptor) subtype, with a selectivity more than 5,000 times greater for the CB2 receptor than the CB1 receptor.[1][2][3] The synthesis and characterization of onternabez took place in the laboratory of Raphael Mechoulam at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (the HU in HU-308) in the late 1990s. The pinene dimethoxy-DMH-CBD derivative onternabez was identified as a potent peripheral CB2-selective agonist in in vitro and animal studies in 1990[1] and 1999.[2]

Onternabez is non-psychoactive and not scheduled at the federal level in the United States.[4] It is a Schedule I controlled substance in the state of Florida making it illegal to buy, sell, or possess there.[5]
