1 List Name Chemical Name/AKA Type of drug Notes Substances emerging pre-2010: highlighted compounds are allegedly currently sold online in UK 6-APB 6-(2-aminopropyl)benzofuran Benzo Fury Structurally similar to E Pellet and powder forms around; lots of discussion and some drugs which seem to work and are effective and lots which don t. Arguments about who sells the real 6-APB Currently legal in UK. Ayahuasca Banisteriopsis vine Psychotria shrubs DMT, MAOIs s Collective name for psychoactive brews typically from South America containing a mixture of plant material containing DMT and an MAOI. Not widely used in the UK. Recently, advocates of Ayahuasca use in UK have been prosecuted for attempts to produce a class A drug based on making brews containing DMT. BZP Benzylpiperazines s Were widely available as a legal alternative to E; now class C controlled Hawaiian Baby Woodrose Kratom Lysergic Acid Amide LSA Mitragyna speciosa mitragynine, mitraphylline, 7-hydroxymitragynine Mild stimulant (low doses) Sedative (high doses) drugs. Seeds of the Hawaiian Baby Woodrose vine contain LSA. This is structurally similar to LSD, and works as a hallucinogen. Dose range of 5-10 seeds for mildly hallucinogenic experience. Currently legal in UK Sold in dry leaf form and as extracted resin Usually taken orally Currently legal in UK MMCAT Methylmethcathinone Mephedrone, drone Miaow Miaow s Methylone 3,4-methylenedioxy-Nethylcathinone, bk-mdma stimulant MDPV Methylenedioxypyrovalerone Pyrovalerone Salvia Divinorum Salvinorin-A Dissassociative GBL Gamma Butyro Lactone GABA agonist Sedative/depressant JWH-018 Most widely distributed one-time legal high. Now a class B controlled drug Still cropping up either sold as MMCAT or repackaged as a new legal high Sibling of MMCAT; in early days of MMCAT sometimes offered in capsules with MMCAT e.g. as Bubble in N. of England. Controlled drug, Was widely touted at the same time as MMCAT; made illegal at same time. Crops up in NRG1 and other compounds Dried leaves of member of Sage family; usually smoked, typically through water pipe. Most products are concentrated rather than raw plant material, at different levels of potency. Currently legal in UK. Formerly sold on-line by name; now a Class C Controlled Drugs if supplied for ingestion, but crops up in products such as nail varnish remover

2 JWH-122 type of synthetic drug mimics effects of THC HU210 HU-243 CP Drugs first reported in 2010 in Europe (EMCDDA/Interpol) highlighted compounds are allegedly currently sold online in UK 1-naphthalen-1-yl-2- Related to Pyrovalerones ; pyrrolidin-1-yl-pentan-1- one 2C-B-BZP (1-(4-bromo-2,5- Piperazine family ; dimethoxybenzyl)piperazine) 3-MeO-PCE (3-methoxyeticyclidine) Related to methoxetamine Not currently regulated in UK so a relative of ketamine i.e. a dissassociative anaesthetic hallucinogen 3,4- (1-(3,4-dimethylphenyl)-2- Dimethylmethcathinone (methylamino)propan-1-3-(4- Hydroxymethylbenzoyl) type of synthetic drug mimics effects of THC; -1-pentylindole 4-FMA (4-fluoromethamphetamine) Amphetamine Class A drug 4-methylethcathinone (2-Ethylamino-1-(4-methylphenyl)- 1-propan substituted cathinone Same family as MMCAT; 4-MBC (4-methyl-N-benzylcathin substituted cathinone Same family as MMCAT; 5-APB (5-(2-aminopropyl)benzofuran) Relative of 6-APB Not sure how much of this is really around now. Lots of material originally sold as 6-APB was, it turned out, 5-APB ß-Methylphenethylamine ß -Me-PEA (2- phenylpropan-1-amine) 5-MeO-DPT AM-694 AM-2201 (5-methoxy-N,Ndipropyltryptamine) (1-[(5-fluoropentyl)-1H-indol-3-yl]- (2-iodophenyl)methan 1-(5-fluoropentyl)-3-(1- naphthoyl)indole ; amphetamine type drug Tryptamine Has cropped up in some sampled; probably Class A under UK law but not certain Class A in UK type of synthetic drug mimics effects of THC; Currently thought to be legal type of synthetic drug mimics effects of THC; Has been identified in the legal smoking mixture Black Mamba

3 Arecoline bk-mmbdb BMDP BMDB Buphedrone (methyl methyl-1,2,5,6- tetrahydropyridine-3-carboxylate) (2-dimethylamino-1-(3,4- methylenedioxyphenyl)-butan-1- (2-benzylamino-1-(3,4- methylenedioxyphenyl)propan-1- (2-benzylamino-1-(3,4- methylenedioxyphenyl)butan-1- (2-(methylamino)-1-phenylbutan- 1- Active compound in the Areca (betel) nut Mild stimulant stimulant Very potent; has been associated with panic, convulsions and breathing problems in a small number of cases Currently thought to be legal Legal Reputedly 10x strength of MMCAT; limited availability; stimulant, not highly euphoric CP47,497 type of synthetic drug mimics effects of THC; Desoxy-D2PM (2-(diphenylmethyl)pyrrolidine) Powerful stimulant; some compounds sold as A3A analysed and found to contain this substance DMAA (1,3-dimethylamylamine) stimulant Relatively low potency on a par with ephedrine; some use by body builders as a cutter Dimethocaine ((3-diethylamino-2,2- dimethylpropyl)-4-aminobenzoate) DMC Laracaine Cocaine analogue Low potency local anaesthetic; Being heavily flogged by a lot of websites Iso-ethcathinone (1-ethylamino-1-phenyl-propan-2- substituted cathinone Same family as MMCAT; JWH-073 methyl derivative (1-Butyl-3-(1-(4- methyl)naphthoyl)indole)) type of synthetic drug mimics effects of THC

5 5-MeO-DALT N,N - diallyl methoxytryptamine Tryptamine, hallucinogenic methylenedioxyphenyl)pentan-1- beta-ketone RCS-4 ((4-methoxyphenyl)(1-pentyl-1Hindol-3-yl)methan type of synthetic drug mimics effects of THC Compounds currently marketed but may not have been formally identified Compounds identified by testing in various products A3A,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1,5- methano-3-benzazepine Should be chemically related to varenicline Evidence suggests compounds sold as A3A contained more powerful stimulant D2PM B2??? Stimulan Several retailers have offered this product. Actual composition variable and unconfirmed. Reports indicate it may contain mephedrone and other compounds, and/or other substituted cathinones. Likely to be in the UK. 2m2b 2-methyl-2-butanol Cousin of alcohol More potent than ethanol; liquid; drunk Lawful, long term risks not known AMT Alphamethyltryptamine Tryptamine; hallucinogenic AM (5-fluoropentyl)-3-(2- iodobenzoyl)indole acts at CB1 receptor Several sites claiming to offer this hallucinogen; may or may not be genuine 5-MeO-DALT. Has been around for around 7 years. Mixed reports as to how effective it is. Probably currently not controlled in the UK Long acting hallucinogen 8-12 hours. Possible MAOI effects. As of Aug 2010 believed to be still legal in UK Potent synthetic cannabinoid not covered by recent (dec 2010) extensions to cannabis legislation; may be constituent in smoking blends currently doing the rounds. Black Mamba AM-2201 Sold as alternative to cannabis lists contents as Damiana Reliable analysis indicates that Black Mamba contains the synthetic cannabinoid AM This strong compound has been associated with respiratory problems, panic attacks and nausea at quite low doses. C1C No analysis available but not potent Being sold on some sites but very small number of non-complimentary trip reports; could be anything. Dextromethorphan DXM Opiate One website offering this at 16/g Opiate found in some OTC cough treatments; at high doses can have more hallucinogenic effects. Definitely covered by UK medicines act, Ethylphenidate Typically ethylphenidate is produced when methylphenidate is swallowed at the same time as alcohol; ethylphenidate is the metabolite produced in the liver. Some websites are now offering ethylphenidate. It is currently not

6 believed to be a Controlled Drug in the UK. User reports are mixed: some have found it a rewarding euphoriant. Others report little or no effect. Etizolam Benzodiazepine analogue Similar in structure and effect to benzodiazepines, though changes to its molecular structure means it is not a benzodiazepine. Currently not regulated in the UK. Being supplied by on line vendors and by Pharma companies in India and elsewhere. Probably around 10x strength of diazepam. Risks of overdose (espec when mixed with alcohol) and tolerance/dependency/withdrawal. Fury X????? If it exists (and there s some samples that went out in April 11) it could be products like 5-apb or 6-apb repackaged or could be something else. Frankly, who knows! Green Granules Jolly Green Granules Kryptonite s Probably lots of old MMCAT and other drugs repackaged as green pellets and sold. Shipments in to Jersey tested as being cathinone derivatives. JCB Jolly Crystal Bomb?? As with other compounds could be anything, including now illegal compounds being repackaged and resold Magic Crystals?? As with other compounds could be anything, including now illegal compounds being repackaged and resold MDEX?????? Being offered on one site as a pellet but no other information available Methiopropamine MPA Some low level trip reports; appears to be a low level stimulant if indeed it exists at all. No authoritative information as of 5/11 NRG2??? could be anything Sold as a stimulant Analysis of compounds sold as NRG2 indicate a lot of other things both NRG3??? Could be anything legal and illegal are sold as NRG 1,2, and 3. Ocean Snow??? Sold as a stimulant One particular site is selling this and a range of related compounds. Hard to get any definitive information confirming analysis and most of the discussions have been sock-puppets and shills promoting the products. Could be anything. Phenazepam Benzodiazepine Long acting, potent benzo originally from Russia. Slow onset, long duration. Approx 20x potency of diazepam. Increased overdose risk, especially in combination with alcohol/opiates. For a couple of years, Phenazepam was coming in to the UK and increased in use and popularity. Importation now controlled but still not a controlled drug in UK. Red Rockets? s Probably as Green Granules, old MMCAT and MDPV stock repackaged and resold Synthacaine??? Ethylphenidate Supposedly an analogue of methylphenidate but more likely than not just a load of white powder passed off as the latest thing ZZ1??? Pentedrone One website offering ZZ1 claims is Pentedrone, and claims it as a legal

7 ??? 2-(methylamino)-1- phenylpentan-1-one successor for MMCAT. What is actually in ZZ1, if it exists, is not verified. Pentedrone is probably a controlled drug in the UK.
