I'm, new still, hope this post is going in the right section.

Any way I came across some threads about rc's, and so far I have gathered that these are research chemicals, and can have phycodelic effects.

But I have yet to figure out much more. What is the legal status of these in the US? Is it hard to come by these? I think I will just start there.

If you want to find a lot of information on this as fast as possible, I would suggest checking out the wikipedia pages for "mephedrone" and "MDPV." They are two popular stimulant RC's that are sold as bath salts.

These are not the only types of RC's, and as stated above me, there are also cannabinoids, opiods, as well as other classes of drugs.

Legality varies from country to country, and in the US a lot of it varies from state to state.
 
Yes, there are countless varieties of these that have been cycling around for a long time. I would google "research chemicals" or something similar to get all sorts of info on the different types.
 
I'm totaly new to RC aswell :) ! i just done some research on the vendors sites.. found out what ones had the effects i want from a "chemical" then orderd small amounts of Mdai and Mxe to try them :) be safe.. read alot of trip reports! look on diffrent forums, erowid, wikki and youtube.. alot of these things are pritty fuckin potent stuff what from what ive looked up !
 
^This. The wikipedia and erowid pages for RCs are pretty useful. Check out these Frequently Asked Questions.

RC's are called Research Chemicals because little is known about them. The terms "designer drug" and "legal high" are also used. Sometimes RCs are sold as "plant food", "bath salts" or other chemicals that you wouldn't normally put into your body. This is a tactic to skirt around laws regarding substances intended for human consumption. I don't recommend using them as actual plant food. Another marketing tactic is "branded RCs", which involves the vendor not giving the actual chemical name of the drug in question, but instead giving it a flashy brand name such as "Jolly Green Granules" and others. This is a very dangerous tactic because not only is the drug new and untested, you also don't know what drug you're taking. I would stay away from branded RCs at all costs.

There are many psychedelic RCs, but they can be any class of drugs. More recently, stimulants and drugs that claim to be, or are at least intended to be, replacements for MDMA (Ecstasy) or cocaine have become popular. Check out these links for MDPV, mephedrone (also called 4-MMC, "meow meow" and many others). RCs are not limited to any one class of drugs. They can be psychedelics, stimulants, depressants, opiates, nearly any class of drug. Some of them are legal, some are known as "analogs" or "analogues" which means they're modifications of illegal drugs made so they're quasi-legal. Check out this article on the Federal Analog Act (U.S. legislation) for more information on analogs. Still others are 100% illegal, but that depends on what drug you're talking about and which state you're talking about. Laws are constantly changing, and we're not lawyers, so doing a Google search or speaking to a qualified attorney is always the better option when it comes to the legal status of substances.

Just so you know, we do not engage in vendor or source discussion here on Bluelight.

So that legal weed they have been selling is a branded RC? I have heard they are trying to make those illegal as well.
