I happened across this document a few days ago: DEA notice of propsed rulemaking. It looks like the DEA's response to the recent hike in "research chemical" use. They're trying to revise the Analog Act to make it clear exactly what an analog is, specifically what a "positional isomer" is. I was wondering if some of you chemistry folks could take a look at the "Proposed Criteria That Will Apply to Positional Isomers" section, and see if they are targeting RCs with this amendment, and if so, does it look like they've covered every RC well? They give some examples of substitutions that would be covered under the new, amended analog act: tert-butyl to sec-butyl, methoxy and ethyl to isopropoxy, N,N-diethyl to N-methyl-N-propyl, or alpha-methylamino to N-methylamino. I can tell at least all the 4-ho-T's are covered (because of 4-ho-dmt's scheduling; n,n-dimethyl -> n,n-dipropyl, etc). I'm specifically curious if you can tell whether the fly/dragonfly compounds would be covered under these new rules...
