POD 75: Jordan Rubin on the bizarre history of the Federal Analog Act
Added 2023-05-10 01:33:58 +0000 UTCIn this interview I talk with lawyer Jordan S. Rubin about his new book Bizarro, which chronicles the work of two synthetic cannabinoid entrepreneurs who found themselves ensnared in a law so confusing the DEA's own experts can't agree on how it should be interpreted.

2023-12-24 04:23:32 +0000 UTCIf the federal analogue act seems insane, then I think you should cover the UKs 2016 psychoactive substances bill. Essentially bans all psychoactive substances and provides a list of exceptions. They have a similar issue to the attempt to define "analogC except now it's defining "Psychoactive".

2023-05-18 20:12:47 +0000 UTCReally enjoyed this thanks! Its those kinds of questions, the ‘why did the synthetic drug market happen at that time’ that makes Hamilton so interesting, he probes points no one else thinks about which are often so slyly fascinating. Great convo.

2023-05-12 20:39:59 +0000 UTCI think there is a state law that describes categorical prohibition of CB1 agonists but I was having trouble finding it, I read the law sometime around 2012
Hamilton Morris
2023-05-12 17:15:37 +0000 UTCThe 2012 FDA act only prohibits cannabinoids of specific structural classes. Although some states have made their own laws including any substance found to be a CB1 agonist.

2023-05-12 16:55:46 +0000 UTCThat's the point. People saying use of ketamine by EMTs should be banned because of Elijah Mcclain's death are neglecting to acknowledge the role of police brutality, as if the drug was the only factor in his death. The context in our conversation is the death of Christoph Karl LaDue who died after being violently arrested by police (tased, pepper sprayed, shocked with a stun gun) and his death was attributed to his use of synthetic cannabinoids. Different situations in that one involved forced administration of a drug and the other voluntary use, but in both instances drugs took attention away from police violence.

2023-05-11 23:04:30 +0000 UTCwtf are you talking about Elijah Mclaine about and comparing him to someone who uses drugs? He was murdered...

2023-05-10 17:48:36 +0000 UTCDrugs being banned based on what receptor they bind to is really stupid. Almost as stupid as drugs being banned in the first place. This is a great episode. Hamilton, you’re a treasure. Please do a Q&A episode soon, I’m sure you’ve got plenty of time /s
