Selling "Legal" Analogues In US?

[CryoThio]

I'm wondering if someone can clarify some things for me.

First, I thought the analogue act applies to schedule 2 drugs and higher, but not schedule 3 or lower. So say someone sells a drug online, say a ketamine or benzodiazepine analogue, but includes the obviously bull caveat "not for human consumption" or something similar to mephedrone, being sold as plant food, or the notorious "bath salts".

What can the police charge you with? It's gotta be something, they won't just let you get away with "selling drugs" by saying "not for human consumption" Try this one trick police hate!

Not selling something like 3mmc, which the dea has already said they consider it an analogue, but something that doesn't fall under the analogue act, which I thought were ketamine and benzo analogues.

Why would analogs of ketamine or benzos not fall under the analogs act?
I just perused it quickly and my feeling is;
• schedule I and II analogs will be tried as if they are schedule I drugs.
•schedule III, IV, V, AND VI drugs will be prosecuted as the drug they are an analog of.

Not a lawyer, but they can't seem to use the analogue act if the related drug isn't schedule 1 or 2.

My reading is if there is an analogue, of say ketamine, schedule 3, then as long as it is marketed as "not for human consumption" then one is much more in a gray area. Maybe they can charge you with selling unauthorized medicine, or something like that (just an example, not an exact law).

It just seems that there is not much of a clear answer for what the state or federal agents might do.

IME if it doesn't fall under federal analogue act of 1984(I think was 84? Not double checking rn) and if you don't get caught in middle of the sale. I always called rcs by real names even tho everyone sold it Molly saying really mdma, had a few friends get caught with ethylone/bk-mdma and 4mmc both before scheduled at all. Called it by proper name to cops. Drugs dumped on ground and 200+$ littering fine for the plastic baggy. They seriously sat and Googled bk-mdea on image search to compare it hahahaha like yup that's it cuz didn't pop on field test

thevines2Absolutely this. Never sell something legal as something illegal, charge is the same
