Well.... this used to not be an issue at all because none of the benzos were considered schedule 1. All benzos were schedule 4 (well all prescription ones still are schedule 4).... and the analog act only applies to schedule 1 and 2 substances wherein the analog's chemical structure of said schedule 1 or 2 substance is "substantially similar" it would be regarded as, itself, a schedule 1 (or possibly 2) substance. From what I've gathered when I first started looking unto this, it can be a REALLY small detail that can determine a judges ruling as to whether the chemical in question's structure is "substantially similar".
In US vs Forbes
AET was thrown into question about whether it was to be considered "substantially similar" to DMT and DET (currently scheduled chemicals).
In this case, the court decided that NO... AET was not similar. It is apparently a
primary amine while DMT and DET are
tertiary amines. That AET cannot be synthesized from either DMT or DET. Also, that the hallucinogenic or stimulant effects of AET are not substantially similar to the effects of DMT or DET.
Even more interesting is that the court in this case stated that the "Federal Analogue Act" was unconstitutionally vague, in that
"Because the definition of 'analogue' as applied here provides neither fair warning nor effective safeguards against arbitrary enforcement, it is
void for vagueness"
-I like the way this court thinks
Apparently, not everyone agreed with me, because the federal analog act was not changed and is still vague to this day... AET ended up specifically being scheduled (1 of all things) so that any who synth, possess, or distribute are instantly criminals. What a sad state of affairs.
US vs Washam ruled that an analog of the drug GHB was substantially similar, however... so there really is no telling whether the law will be on your side or not... making this whole thing rather worrisome.
I suppose, my search for designer benzos are over now that many of them are schedule 1 and therefore their analogs can now be covered under the analog act... however.... I believe and am hoping that I can obtain 2f-dck.... it is my next quest.... onward towards this lofty goal. Wish me luck.
