Is anyone running the synthetic drug race?

[deadendgame]

So my problem is I'm trying to look up synthetic drugs that haven't been made illegal yet. With the Federal Analog Act, that's been quite difficult. The synthetic chemists are always gonna be one step ahead. But is there gonna be a time when all of the synthetic drugs have been illegalized?

This depends on the country you're living in. In Switzerland, for example, they made already back in 2012 the sad, fucking stupid decision to declare anything potentially psychoactive as a 'novel psychoactive substance' opening the road for sanctions, confiscation, and so on. Not the main or only, but certainly one of the reasons why I've left this country. The world is big and beautiful and it's nice to see more of it. But laws are just plain stupid, limiting and life-threatening all over the way.

Austria did more or less the same, but at least there the end-user, consumer, whatever isn't exposed to inhuman punishment if I'm right.
Germany tries, but they have this constitution court that declared analogue laws to be illegal. Yeah, at least something. And the EU declared the practice to make any psychoactives 'medicines' even if they have no indication yet (they used the term 'only potential to hurt' to be exact - it's definitely not the way I'd like to see it going, but it is a start) as illegal too.

But it's indeed an interesting unfortunate question.

I really don't get it why the UK seems to be the heart of the worldwide RC market somewhat when we'd have so many better places with better laws and (a bit) less mad capitalistic bastards to make profit with ...?

The analogue act is bullshit enough, but the "any substance with some psychoactivity is automatically illegal" is just beyond any word in English to describe it. That kind of legislation is basically selective punishment. That way a lot of things we use in the kitchen or like to grow for decoration would have to be banned, because they contain psychoactives (albeit in low concentrations), like nutmeg or some ornamental flowers for example. Will they be banned? Hell no. So what the fuck then? Reminds me of Soviet Union where the "law" was different for everyone.
