Ohio banned, uh, pretty much everything... Help me figure out all of them!

[Xitier]

So for those that don't know, Ohio passed bill HB 334 back on December 20th, 2012. This bill was originally meant to allow Ohio to track ephedrine and pseudo-ephedrine sales through a national registry. This was early in 2012 when this bill was introduced. Fast forward to December and an amendment to the bill essentially made it an extention of HB 64, the bill that banned numerous cannabinoids and cathinones in Ohio and created a state level analog act essentially. You can read the more easily accessible final analysis here or see all documents pertaining to the bill here. In addition to a blanket ban on all cathinones and basically banning all past, present, and future synthetic cannabinoids in one fell swoop, they also banned all of this shit specifically...

Methylone
MDPV
Mephedrone
Methedrone
4-FMC
3-FMC
Pentedrone
A-PVP
Cathinone
Methcathinone
UR-144
AB-001
2-NE1
AKB48
MXE
5MeO-DALT
AM1248
STS-135
5-APB
6-APB
5-APDB
6-APDB
BTCP
2C-E
2C-D
2C-C
2C-I
2C-T-2
2C-T-4
2C-H
2C-N
2C-P
PMMA
MDAI
5-IAI
25I-NBOMe
Diphenylprolinol
Desoxypipradrol

Some of these were already previously banned at a state or federal level, but a lot of them weren't. If you read about the cannabinoid analog rules it pretty much rules out any of them. The cathinones are a bit trickier for me to figure out, so I need some help. Here is the wording on cathinones...

The act removes the six synthetic derivatives of cathinone, described above, from
Ohio's list of schedule I hallucinogenic substances. In addition, the act removes
cathinone and methcathinone from Ohio's list of schedule I stimulants. In place of
these, the act adds substituted cathinones to Ohio's list of schedule I stimulants. The act
specifies that substituted cathinones are any compound except bupropion or
compounds listed under a different schedule, structurally derived from 2-
aminopropan-1-one by substitution at the 1-position with either phenyl, naphthyl, or
thiophene ring systems, whether or not the compound is further modified in any of the
following ways:

(1) By substitution in the ring system to any extent with alkyl, alkylenedioxy,
alkoxy, haloalkyl, hydroxyl, or halide substituents, whether or not further substituted in
the ring system by one or more other univalent substituents;

(2) By substitution at the 3-position with an acyclic alkyl substituent;

(3) By substitution at the 2-amino nitrogen atom with alkyl, dialkyl, benzyl, or
methoxybenzyl groups;

(4) By inclusion of the 2-amino nitrogen atom in a cyclic structure.

The act specifies that examples of substituted cathinones include, but are not
limited to, methylone (3,4-methylenedioxymethcathinone), MDPV, (3,4-
methylenedioxypyrovalerone), mephedrone (4-methylmethcathinone), 4-
methoxymethcathinone, 4-fluoromethcathinone, 3-fluoromethcathinone, Pentedrone (2-
(methylamino)-1-phenyl-1-pentanone), pentylone(1-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-2-
(methylamino)-1-pentanone), 2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-1-(4-methylphenyl)-1-propanone,
alpha-PVP (1-phenyl-2-(1-pyrrodinyl)-1-pentanone), cathinone (2-amino-1-phenyl-1-
propanone), and methcathinone (2- (methylamino)-propiophenone).

Outside of the ones I listed, what else does this cover (my grasp of chemistry is poor)? Would something like 2-FMA be considered an analog of a cathinone by this definition? The analog rules seem to only apply to the cannabinoids and cathinones (in regards to house bill 334 and 64) and anything else would require the use of the federal analog act to be deemed illegal. I'm incredibly curious about all of this since it seems like barely anyone had any idea this bill existed and everyone who knew thought it wasn't coming into effect until yesterday. But the reality is the scheduling and analog act came into action the moment this was signed, three months ago. I'm also wondering how classifying MXE as a schedule 1 works since on both a state and federal level ketamine is schedule 3?

We don't allow legal discussion on this forum. Ohio isn't the only state that has done this (by a long shot). Most drug charges occur on a state level so it makes sense for a state to schedule RCs in addition to the Feds scheduling things. Tramadol is C-IV in some states, for example.

The sad truth is, scheduling systems don't make any sense. Why is cannabis C-I and benzos C-IV?

What exactly are you asking here? We're not going to explain each of these drugs to you, Google them and do searches for the ones your interested in on here and on Erowid. 2-FMA is an analog of amphetamine (which is already a C-II) and methamphetamine (also C-II) so just because its not listed doesn't mean it doesn't fall under the analog act. Same with things like MPA and camfetamine.

I'm going to close this thread. PM me if you have any questions
