T40.725 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for adverse effect of synthetic cannabinoids. It belongs to category T40 (poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of narcotics and psychodysleptics [hallucinogens]), block T36-T50 (poisoning by, adverse effects of and underdosing of drugs, medicaments and biological substances) and chapter 19 (injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.
