If anything I would say it is a "shallow" high. Not as many layers as I remembered. The tatse dosent go away for awhile which sucks. I did it the one time and havent done it since.
I would say use syn IF: you get tested, or can't find the real thing. Only if you are the kind of person that can take few hits and chill. Absolutely avoid it if you the kind of person who fucking over does it every time. Most of the horror stories I've seen online involve copious amount of the shit.
I am not sure where you got your info... There is only one other substance that mimics THC, it was produced at great expense by the gov, and is called SB-1. Which was genetically altered to "mimic" THC and lock into the cannabinoid receptors that cover the entire brain. It was going to be used to treat Marijuana "addicts" by blocking actual THC from being able to get into the receptors. It was both a great success and complete failure! It worked, but most of the trial group suffered severe depression, or attempted suicide. You see the human body produces THC on it's own... When you fail a drug test, you were found with "elevated" levels of THC. There is a baseline. So after about 20 billion dollars of wasted tax payer money, all they proved was that THC has a direct relation to our brain/emotions/immune/moods etc... And absolutely cannot be cut off with out severe consequences.
