Kind of a stretch calling aminoindanes, amphetamine analogs
No it's not. Just bend the side chain of 4-methoxyamphetamine around & close the ring to form the 5-methoxy-2-aminoindane.

Too bad the analog act doesn't have that in the writing. Also, technically it would have to alpha-ethylPEA for the ring to become an indane. I know wikipedia says it's a rigid analog of amphetamine, but if you connect alpha methyl to the phenyl it'll be cyclobutane (a square, rather than a pentagon)
derp...yeah you're right >< lol
Either way, I don't believe the analog act covers cyclization specifically
Yeah, I have a lot of respect for Dr. Nutt but I think he is off on a wild goose chase with this "safer alcohol alternative." Frankly, there's a myriad of drugs already that are safer than and can replace alcohol, with the entire class of benzodiazepines being one of the most fitting examples. But even if you found a recreational drug with the exact same effects as alcohol, except that it didn't cause any kind of health problems in the long term, didn't lead to violence, didn't ever cause you to vomit or lose consciousness, and didn't ever lead to addiction, the governments of the world would still reflexively ban it as they do everything else that gets you high and hasn't been "grandfathered in" like alcohol. At best, it would be allowed as a maintenance drug for alcoholics, a la methadone or buprenorphine. Replacing recreational use of alcohol by 2050? That is a pipe dream if I've ever heard one.
I read by '2030,' 12 years from now.
And he is talking 2030, not 2050.
Vice said:Nutt is confident that Alcosynth – which admittedly sounds a bit like a new romantic covers band – will have replaced alcohol entirely by 2050, but there are some tough obstacles in its way, from powerful alcohol companies to the absurd Psychoactive Substances Act introduced in the UK earlier this year.
This is intended to be very broad in scope so that they can ban anything that is even remotely like amphetamine, cyclized or not.
The parent compound is 2-aminoindane. Here is the Psychonautwiki article on 2-AI: [/FONT][/COLOR]https://psychonautwiki.org/w/index.php?title=2-Aminoindane&_=
2-Aminoindane (2-AI) is a psychoactive drug and research chemical with stimulant properties. It is an analogue of amphetamine.[1]
...any substance that has a 1-amino-2-phenylethane structure substituted at the 2’ and 5’ or 2’ and 6’ positions of the benzene ring by an alkoxy or haloalkoxy group, or substituted at two adjacent carbon atoms of the benzene ring which results in the formation of a furan, dihydrofuran, pyran, dihydropyran or methylenedioxy group — whether or not further substituted on the benzene ring to any extent, whether or not substituted at the amino group by one or two, or a combination of, methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, hydroxyl, benzyl (or benzyl substituted to any extent) or benzylene (or benzylene substituted to any extent) groups and whether or not substituted at the 2-ethyl (beta carbon) position by a hydroxyl, oxo or alkoxy group — and its salts and derivatives and salts of derivatives...
