JWH-030 is a research chemical which is a cannabinoid receptor agonist.^[2] It has analgesic effects and is used in scientific research.^[3] It is a partial agonist at CB₁ receptors, with a K_i of 87 nM, making it roughly half the potency of THC.^[4] It was discovered and named after John W. Huffman.

In the United States, CB₁ receptor agonists of the 3-(1-naphthoyl)pyrrole class such as JWH-030 are Schedule I Controlled Substances.^[5]
