as it stands now..all of this draconian legislation (S-839..S-605..and HR-1254) will have all passed both houses of congress by the end of next week..possibly as early as tuesday 5/3.. and signed into law by o'bumble.. without so much as a peep of opposition...

congress is on recess for district work until next monday 5/2...this provides an opportunity to confront your local representative IN PERSON on this issue (although you might as well forget it if you live in a repugnican district)...

possible talking points include ..

a) the bill is being rushed through with no debate and as little scientific evidence to justify it...

b) as tragic as the 2c-e death in MN was.. it still does not constitute an imminent threat to public safety...many mundane commodities have caused far more injuries and deaths than the substances in question...

c) after the bill has been passed.. users will either continue to use the drugs illegally or else will go back to more conventional illicit drugs...in either case..no injuries nor deaths will be avoided.. and the taxpayers will have to bear the cost of increased drug prosecutions and incarcerations...

d) the bill is likely being pushed by prison industry lobbyists.. who fear that legal drug alternatives are undermining their revenues from illegal drugs prosecutions...be sure to ask your local rep about pressure from the prison lobby...

e) last but most.. criminalizing other drugs has not kept them away from "the children"(r).. this is no different...

to put it more briefly.. the bill chisels away at our freedoms.. at a substantial cost to taxpayers.. at the behest of conservatives idealogues and prison industry shills...

That's what America gets for privatizing every aspect of public life. Make the prison industry private (the fact that it's an "industry" is a perversion in itself) and you end up with a prison lobby aiming to put as many citizen behind bars as possible. That is the most perverted and rotten thing I've ever seen in any society. Equally as appalling as stoning people.

Not only is it an industry, but it's the most profitable domestic and fastest growing industry in America.

Well, I haven't seen a 2C-X around in about a year, and it looks like that hiatus will be extended. Perhaps indefinitely, or until some underground chemist starts making it, and then the quality will be :thumbdown:. It will prolly end up looking like that shitty brown sassafrass low quality dealers deal in. Or they will tell you it is 2C-I and WHOOPS, they made 2C-E.

No need to be sorry, I don't buy that half-made crap. I'm sure there are underground chemists with intergrity, but it's like most other trades, most do  it out of greed, not out of any passion. They may have some interest in the subject but if it came down to throwing out shit that was poorly made, or selling it, they'd sell it for the most part.

Wow...they are not just going after one chem but a bunch.  I don't think these drugs are candy, but criminalization is not the answer, especially for the chems that may have low toxicity.    This scheduling going to effect a lot of people.

So they're banning something that nobody has tried and probably won't work? Kind of pointless but I guess they're tired of all the new chemicals popping up.

I guess instead of 2c-e, my next drug purchase is going to be something from Peru. :tongue2:

So once the bill is approve by both the House and the Senate, do the compounds immediately go onto the list of scheduled substances, or is there a date set a couple of months down the line when that happens?

You could argue that without this recent "bath salt" / "spice" BS, this bill targeting psychedelic RCs would not exist (even with the recent death supposedly from 2C-E).

*This* basically sums up my feelings on the subject-

Quote:

While there have been reports of psychosis and other severe side effects in bath salt users, these stories are rare and usually involve a combination of irresponsible dosing and underlying mental illness. 

Undoubtedly there is a newsworthy story here, but is it the one we're being told?  While these mind-altering drugs can cause grave harm and even death, most of the tragedies surrounding bath salts are the result of factors other than the drug itself--all of which are totally avoidable. 

Epic Fail #1--High-profile distribution.  Bath salts are sold in public venues like gas stations and convenience stores across the country, where every 15-year-old and his kid brother can buy a pack for himself and his "homies".  Common sense suggests that selling drugs to children--legal or otherwise--is a bad idea.  Kids are prohibited from buying alcohol or tobacco products, so why are business owners stocking their shelves with amphetamine-like drugs and selling them to minors?

Epic Fail #2--Irresponsible labeling.  Bath salt drugs are marketed in a most reckless manner by profit-driven manufacturers who forgo ingredients lists in lieu of cutesy names like "Vanilla Sky," "Ivory Wave," and "Trippin' Balls".  Despite a total lack of regulation, all dietary supplements are required to display a list of ingredients on the label according to FDA guidelines.  Even ephedra--the over-the-counter supplement that killed baseball player Steve Bechler in 2004--was held to this standard.  How can bath salt users determine a safe dose or avoid dangerous interactions when they don't even know what they're taking?  The result is an unnecessary game of Russian roulette that puts lives at risk with every snort, sniff and swallow.

Epic Fail #3--Lack of public knowledge about safer methods of drug use.  The "Just Say No" approach is the intellectual equivalent of abstinence-only sex ed, which is a piss-poor model in terms of effectiveness.  Many times, the things left unsaid by drug educators do the most harm by creating a vacuum of knowledge to be filled with speculation, myths and misconceptions.  The idea that a drug is safe because it's legal is one example, but there are many others.  And it's not just teenage zombies who are spreading disinformation--the media is leading the pack with inaccurate and patently untrue statements about the risks of bath salts.  Early coverage was marred by confusion as reporters misidentified the drugs as actual bath and body products, which speaks volumes about the degree of ignorance surrounding the issue.

While there have been reports of psychosis and other severe side effects in bath salt users, these stories are rare and usually involve a combination of irresponsible dosing and underlying mental illness.

I fully fucking agree.  That's why I think anyone who pulls shit like that is a fucking retard.  Seriously.  I don't get why they all didn't get jailed for selling analogs.  MDPV is an OBVIOUS analog for example.  WTF?

the reason they dont have an ingredients list or get in trouble for being analogues is because they were sold as something to "not be consumed"

I'd be surprised if this really affects anything.  RC vendors will still be shipping to the US.  As long as I can still get my 2C-X, which it looks like I will.  I don't give a fuck then.

2C-H is used to make 2C-X's, hence the illegalization of it. MDPV is an analouge of Pyrovalerone, which is Schedule 5 in the US, so technically MDPV is completely legal. The analogue act only covers drugs in the 1st and 2nd category.

ummmm....there are going to be just about 0 vendors sending to the states when this gets passed. They have been shipping because it has been legal; this will make them illegal.

Its going tp be over for these chems soon. Others will be available, but if you want to try a 2C-X from the "magic half dozen" or whatever schulgin called them, you better buy/stock up on them NOW. :gd_icon::peace:

unless they outlaw the precursors (which they wont) because they are so versatile people will be able to make it themselves if they wish. compared to the difficult making of acid, this is a walk in the park. no big deal. its good IMO. the accessibility and exposure today is way to high and a LOT of kids are starting to get their hands on it. which will lead to a lot of bad publicity again.

The above comment is of course ridiculous. Stating that things need to be banned "for the kids" is the most asinine pro drug war argument there is. If you stand for nothing it is easy to fall for anything.
I stand for our rights to use recreational drugs.

I don't think lasdR was saying that the drugs should be banned because "we need to protect the children". He was saying that when kids start getting their hands on RCs and other underground drugs they tend to get banned because of increased media exposure.
