I've been lurking around this forum for a while, especially PD. Something kept nagging me when I went through threads of people talking about the various PEAs and etc they've tried. For those of you that have used a decent amount of RC's, especially the obscure ones, why do you do it?
What´s a Research Chemical anyway?
...LSD was a "RC" once, yes, it was...
...I find OP´s question stupid and don´t see why this thread should be brought back to life (?) robertetritsch.

Yes, sure, I just find it a bit too obvious why some one would do it. Hence a stupid question. But it´s fine really, OP´s post (this thread) is from 2007, the "RC scene" was smaller back then, which gives more validity to his question.While I completely agree with your critical analysis (emphasis on the critical), I think the OP has a good question- but perhaps phrased it inappropriately.
Any head who is anyone knows Alice was a research chem at one time, but that time has passed and she is now part of the pantheon of "classics". So what?
The OP question still stands- What prompts someone to want to shelve the Old Gods and dip into the waters of new entheogens?
In due time even NBOMe will be old hat. But still there will be a crop of folk who seek the newer, more untried RCs just hitting the market. Why do they do it? I think it's a worthwhile question that has garnered interesting answers.

This strikes me because it's obviously not the same reason an addict does any other type of drug. With psychedelics, do you view it as a hobby of yours? Just your lifestyle? Or does it serve some sort of utility in your life?
