JWH-122 is a synthetic cannabimimetic that was discovered by John W. Huffman. It is a methylated analogue of JWH-018. It has a K_i of 0.69 nM at CB₁ and 1.2 nM at CB₂.^[2]

In January 2015, over 40 people were reportedly sickened after eating a holiday bread called Rosca de reyes purchased at a bakery in Santa Ana, California, that was laced with JWH-122.^[3]
