“The list of border controlled drugs in proposed subsection 314.4(1) includes six substances that are not currently covered by the drug offences in section 233B the Customs Act.
These substances are 2,5-dimethoxy-4-n-propylthiophenethylamine (2C-T-7), 2,5-dimethoxy-4-ethylthiophenethylamine (2C-T-2), 2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenethylamine (2C-I), 5-methoxy-alpha-methyltryptamine (5-MeO-AMT), 5-methoxy-N,N-diisopropyltryptamine (5-Meo-DiPT) and methcathinone. These drugs are not known to have any current medical or industrial application in Australia and there is evidence to support their availability on the illicit market in Australia. Most of these new drugs have recently been included in Schedule 9 (Prohibited Substances) of the Standard for the Uniform Schedule of Drugs and Poisons.
