I don't get it. I keep seeing people saying things like "People only use research chemicals because they cannot get the real thing" etc. I guess their perception of research chemicals might be different from mine, because the RC scene these days has kind of changed to more mimicking drugs (spice to mimic weed, mephedrone to mimic cocaine, etc) and when I was heavily involved in it this was not the case. It sucks to see so many people biased against all drugs that are not mainstream simply because they associate them all with that legal highs trash. They seem to think that only drugs like LSD or MDMA are worth a damn, and to completely disregard the literally thousands of other drugs out there. I mean, I tried a few of the synthetic cannabis type products (in powder form, sometimes sprayed onto plant material) and I can agree that I would not tend to use these if I had marijuana available. But just because I have an unlimited supply of LSD doesn't mean I wouldn't ever want to take 2c-b , or 2c-t-2, or 2c-i or 4-aco-dmt etc. The more old school research chemicals are pretty fucking awesome actually, and you are really missing out on a wide range of experiences if you don't give them a shot. Another problem with the newer research chemicals is that a lot of them seem to be extremely sketchy in the safety department, and of course they have not been researched at all. The older research chemicals (from Pihkal and Tihkal) have also mostly not been researched, but all but the most obscure of them have been sampled by thousands of people by now, over a lot of years. Some of them are not even really worthy of being called research chemicals anymore, like 2c-b has probably been used by millions of people around the world now and it has been being used for many years. It has a well established safety profile at this point, and is actually probably even safer than MDMA. The effects of these drugs are not knock off effects of drugs like LSD and MDMA, they are their own unique experiences, not designed to try to mimic other things. I have not found a psychedelic I enjoy more than LSD, but I also immensely enjoyed my 2c-b experiences, my 2c-t-2 experiences, my 5-meo-dmt experiences, etc. There is a full world of psychedelic effects out there and it makes me sad to see people who are biased against these drugs simply because the most recent things being called research chemicals are largely dangerous knock off trash.
