Menabitan (INN: SP-204) is a synthetic drug which acts as a potent cannabinoid receptor agonist.^[1]^[2] It is closely related to natural cannabinoids of the tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) group, differing mainly by its longer and branched side chain, and the replacement of the 9-position carbon with a nitrogen. It is a structural analog of nabitan and dimethylheptylpyran.^[1] It was studied as an analgesic in the 1970s and was found to possess analgesic effects in both humans and animals but was never marketed.^[1]^[3]^[4]

Due to its structural similarity to the Schedule I/III drug THC, it can be treated as a Schedule I drug within the United States legal system under the Federal Analogue Act.
