RCS-8

RCS-8, or 1-(2-cyclohexylethyl)-3-(2-methoxyphenylacetyl)indole, is a synthetic cannabinoid also known as SR-18 or BTM-8 that has been found as an ingredient of "herbal" synthetic cannabis blends. It can be described as an analogue of JWH-250 with the 1-pentyl group replaced by 1-(2-cyclohexylethyl), and can be expected to be less potent than JWH-250 (cf. JWH-007 and its cyclohexylethyl analogue). Despite not having been reported in the scientific or patent literature as yet, reputed recreational use of RCS-8 in the United States has led to it being specifically listed in a proposed 2011 amendment to the Controlled Substances Act, aiming to add a number of synthetic drugs into Schedule I.

    RCS-4, or 1-pentyl-3-(4-methoxybenzoyl)indole, is a synthetic cannabinoid drug sold under the names SR-19, BTM-4, or Eric-4 (later shortened to E-4), but originally, OBT-199.

    Pharmacology

    RCS-4 is a potent cannabinoid receptor agonist, with EC50 values of 146 nM for human CB1 receptors, and 46 nM for human CB2 receptors. All methoxyphenyl regiosiomers, and N-butyl homologues of RCS-4 and its regiosiomers also display potent agonist activities at CB1 and CB2 receptors.

    Legality

    RCS-4 was banned in Sweden on 1 October 2010 as a hazardous good harmful to health, after being identified as an ingredient in "herbal" synthetic cannabis products.

    It was outlawed in Denmark on 11 March 2011.

    In August 2011, New Zealand added not only RCS-4 but also its 1-butyl homologue, and the 2-methoxybenzoyl isomers of both these compounds, to a temporary class drug schedule (i.e. equivalent to Class C but reviewed after 12 months, and with personal possession and use of small amounts decriminalised), which was newly created under the Misuse of Drugs Amendment Act 2011 passed a week earlier.

    Retreat

    by: Rakes

    I'm walking unknown territory, where the sun's not shining
    There's nothing golden about Golden Lane
    The smoke is heavy in my lungs and the adverts are working
    I just can't sell for who or what I am
    I don't wanna miss out on anything
    At the same time I feel the need to retreat
    Everything is temporary these days
    Might as well go out for a third night in a row
    Should I give my money to a good cause or save for a holiday?
    In a couple of months I could be in paradise
    But the girl at the bar is well nice and she's looking over
    It's only right that I get the next round in
    I don't wanna miss out on anything
    At the same time I feel the need to retreat
    Everything is temporary these days
    Might as well go out for a fifth night in a row
    Walk home, come down, retreat to sleep
    Wake up, go out again, repeat
    Walk home, come down, retreat to sleep
    Hook up, again this time, next week
    Walk home, come down, retreat to sleep
    Wake up, go out again, repeat
    Walk home, come down, retreat to sleep
    Hook up, again this time, next week
    I don't wanna miss out on anything
    At the same time I feel the need to retreat
    Everything is temporary these days
    Might as well go out for a fifth night in a row
    Walk home, come down, retreat to sleep
    Wake up, go out again, repeat
    Walk home, come down, retreat to sleep
    Hook up, again this time, next week
    Walk home, come down, retreat to sleep
    Walk home, come down, retreat to sleep
    Walk home, come down, retreat to sleep
