Drug info - Legallity of MDPV in the USA?

[whitedog]

Cant find the truth about this, ive found one place saying it is legal, on saying its an analogue etc. so whats the truth?

From wiki:

MDPV is not specifically listed as an illegal drug in any country, but its structural similarity to illegal drugs makes it likely that it would be considered a controlled substance analogue in several countries such as the USA, Australia and New Zealand. Other analogues derived from alpha-pyrrolidinopropiophenone include the 4-methyl analogue pyrovalerone, as well as analogues with no substitution on the aromatic ring, and analogues with between 3 and 6 carbons on the alkyl chain. [7] These compounds have been reported as stimulants of abuse mainly in Germany and other European countries since the early 2000s, but they have remained little known and rarely used or encountered by law enforcement. [8]
MDPV may be illegal in the USA as an analog of a Schedule V controlled substance.

this is were my confusion starts, as it says it may be illigal. can anyone just tell me what they think it is?

If you can't figure it out, then there's a good chance that a court will not rule in your favor. Face it, if it's a mind-altering substance, they aren't going to look kindly on it and if you can't hire a chemist to testify on your behalf, you're in trouble.

And, legal or not, if you draw the wrong attention, cops will still show up with handcuffs, a visit to the holding center, arraignment and maybe even prison till trial.

Of course a package could just show up at your door with not a sly wink.

Just don't think, just because something suspicious is legal, it might not pull the cops down on you.

Hot off of Wikipedia peeps, "Legality MDPV is not specifically listed as an controlled substance in any country besides Denmark. Furthermore, MDPV is not illegal under the United States (U.S.) Federal Analog Act, as the legislation only applies to Schedule I and II compound, and pyrovalerone is Schedule V under the U.S. Controlled Substances Act. Other drugs with a similar chemical structure include α-pyrrolidinopropiophenone (α-PPP), which has a shorter alkyl chain and no ring substitution, pyrovalerone, which has a 4'-methyl group instead of a methylenedioxy ring, as well as analogues with between 3 and 6 carbons on the alkyl chain.[8] These compounds have been reported as stimulants of abuse mainly in Germany and other European countries since the early 2000s, but they have remained generally vaguely known and rarely used illicitly or encountered by law enforcement.[9]" So it only applies to sch, 1 and 2 compounds...

it may not be specifically illegal but that does not really make it "legal". Posession/distribution with intent to ingest is certainly illegal. And getting busted with posession of any white powder is going to get SWIY arrested, at least until the substance is tested (lab tested- not field tested) .
Basically- its a legal grey area- which is dangerous- because neither side knows the rules of the game.

edit turtles an idiot- he had only seen the above post- not the first couple. Basically repeated much of what potter already stated

Dude, I posted the wikipedia article because it is utterly different from what it was originally posted as... according to this article the analogue act only affects the class 1 and 2 substances meaning that pav (a sched 5 substance) is not affected... and therefore MDPV, an analogue of pav is technically legal... I think most people realize that if they sell the crap as drugs thats illegal regardless... the main reason I posted it is most people believe the analogue act is absolute... and this just proves the point otherwise.
