The case of mephedrone made me revise my views on prohibition: perhaps, for once, prohibition can be a good thing? Imagine what would have happened if this continued?
yeah exact effect, p****ed of the whole "research chemical" thing had gone public and yeah for once thought it WAS dangerous for so many people to be doing this. People didn't know of RCs or plant food but all of sudden your neighbour who popped to the local grocery knew more about RCs. Particularly annoyed about methylone, not the best but that was excatly why it wasn't so feindish and crazy - got to try some WAY back but was keen to get a small supply for future as it was so cheap. The serious shame with all cathinones blocked means future exploration done this area is pointless from UK stand, having had to put up with the annoying PEA catch all and missing out on all the RC's hitting USA (well officially missing out, some dared), was hoping some more interesting cathinones might crop up (or even be release in shulgins books)
Btw, Fnb: Phenmetrazine analogues are the only stims that still interest me these days. It'd be interesting to see research there.[/color]

GTR ^agreed, the mephedrone madness was a unique phenomenon never before seen in the UK and probably never to be seen again. When things started to get really silly in the 6 months prior to the ban, when it came onto the media radar and the masses of the general public became aware of it, it even had people who would normally have been very casual drug users, who would hitherto not have touched more than an occasional line of coke at the weekend or the odd toot on a spliff, embarking on mid-week, multi day, multi gram sessions whilst still going around their everyday business, albeit somewhat impared. Most people just couldn't and wouldn't do that with MDMA.
This gives me optimism. Time will also tell to see if mephedrone continues to be sold and SOURT after. It would be true that if MDMA was openly sold on the internet/highstreet (especially as plant food!) would also be a MAD MDMA rush across the nation. I still hold on to that optimistic view that SOME kind of system could be implemented for safe use. and like you say most people couldn't and wouldn't do that with mdma. It's more depressing in my opinion that MDMA for PTSD has taken SOOO long to get anywhere near stage II trials.
