yup yup
banning stuff is dumb unless obvious harm is coming about like with PMA PMMA and stuff like that but if you’re in the business of banning stuff, then having to name every compound is inefficent and then having to add stuff when the generic description fails makes the guys doing the banning look dumb as well.
Analogue Act is almost as bad as the DEA having emergency scheduling powers. Always humourous when people who never did any drugs get to decide drug policy.
USA v. Forbes really shows how lacking the DEA is of the knowledge of chemistry required to make these laws/decisions and how much a bunch of ass hats they are when it comes to amending their own laws.. So it gets proven in court that AET is not similar chemically/physiologically to DET or DMT in fucking Federal Court so instead of using this is a learning experience and amending the Analogue Act they just banned AET by name. The district court in colorado ruled that the Analogue Act is unconstitutionally vague but this ruling only has precedent in the Federal District of Colorado. So essentially a FEDERAL COURT ruled the Analogue Act unconstitutional under common law principles dating to the Magna Carta or thereabouts but due to the insulated structure of the federal courts system this only applies in 1 out of 50 states… hmmm smells like bullshit to me, I’m all for keeping people safe but the DEA isn’t doing that, they’re just the furthest evolution of the thought police we have, can’t control what people think if they’re doing drugs that make them think different things.
