- when you have to buy an otterbox to keep in your safe with all the bags of RC's in, because you're too afraid they no longer produce some of what you have saved
- when you can eye up the common RC's and identify them by visual assessment while still bagged
- when you have your guy contacting you to say "we haven't put this out for anyone to try yet, but I can give you a break to test it out".

...when you're done listing the substances you've taken you have to think for a minute to make sure you remembered them all.
...when you can tell the difference between MDMA, MDA, and MDE by taste alone.
...when you have a friend set you up a dose of something random in your collection so you can try to guess the substance from the subjective effects. (FUN!)
...you know eleusis and zwitterion were the same person.
...you laugh out loud when someone says they've done every drug out there.
...when you've ingested more drugs than 99.99% of the population, and the people you work with are surprised to find out you smoke weed because you "don't seem the type".
...when you think cocaine is boring as hell.

YKYAORCUW...
You were reading through the experiences on the prank 5-MeO-W Fake erowid page for TEN MINUTES before you realized you weren't on erowid, and you were reading about cat piss.
You also know that you are an OBSCURE RC user if you have any idea what the above statement was even referencing. lmao
AND.... When you've made a checklist with everything else that's been posted in YKYAORCUW thread to see how much shit actually applied to you and only 3 of them are left unchecked
Re: You Know You're An "Obscure RC" User When... (Add to it)
-when vendors express surprise that you are re-ordering that test batch of new stuff they had as a one-off, and are in fact still alive.
-when medical research teams from the military keep trying to pay you for exclusive use of your corpse when you die
-when you don't bother worrying about all the bizarre physical symptoms you experience because no one else has ever experienced them. And you actually start to see yourself as a trend-setter because no one else has a half-green, half-orange tongue.
-your hair falls out... and you eat it because you're sure that it is full of chems which are to precious to waste.
-you completely stop worrying about what additives are in your food and cosmetics, about getting radiation from household appliances, or about retrieving and eating that bit of sausage that rolled under the fridge and got covered in mold and grease - because you welcome all foreign entities into your system and believe they can teach you something!

when someone asks you what drugs you've tried and they haven't heard of most of them...
when you visit Drugs-forum and Erowid frequently....
when you're down with being a guinea pig...
Re: You Know You're An "Obscure RC" User When... (Add to it)
- you give advice to pharmacists and psychiatrists and can correct them when they provide inaccurate info
- you cancel your appointments and stay home in case your eagerly awaited registered letter arrives
- you've stopped clearing your browser history because you're just going to fill it again with visits to DF and other forums, Wikipedia, Erowid, and vendor pages
- if you randomly change the letters and numbers of one of your RCs you get the name of another RC you've tried
- you have re-defined "harm reduction" to mean "courageously acting as a guinea pig so as to better inform the public about RC effects, side effects, drug interactions, potentiation, purity, analogs, and legal status"
- you think a 1 in 10 risk of severe brain or heart damage is an acceptable risk AND you only eat organic fruits and vegetables because "I don't want all those chemicals in my body!"
Re: You Know You're An "Obscure RC" User When... (Add to it)
-When your non-RC using friends have come up with their own names for the drugs you talk about on a regular basis because random letters and numbers don't seem to stick with them. ie: 25c-NBOMe is referred to as "Polish Acid" because it comes on blotters and your vendor is based in Poland.
-When you have lab manufactured RCs that can exist in a natural source, you refer to them by that name to spare your friends confusion, and to spare yourself long winded explanations. ie: 5-MeO-DMT is referred to as "toad", and 4-AcO-DMT as "synthetic psilocybin".
-When the natural source of some of the RCs you've done contain more then one substance, you attempt to make combinations to try to replicate the "natural" experience. ie, mimicking Bufo Alvarius toad venom by combining Cebil seed extract (Bufotenin) with 5-MeO-DMT.
-When, of the list of fourty-some-odd substances you've ingested, there's only about eight on there that most people have even heard of.
-When expanding said list becomes more important then actually getting high.
-When your somewhat straighter friends use you as a kind of canary-in-the-mine-shaft and only try your obscure RCs after you've been guinea-pigging them for a year or so.
-When you plan your weekend not only by which substances in which order, but by duration and route of administration, allowing gaps at pre-determined times for mundane tasks like eating and sleeping.
-When you regularly tell yourself you're going to go back to naturally sourced drugs for a while, then a few weeks later you happen to stumble across a trip report about some obscure RC you haven't done yet, and find yourself placing an order for it.
-When last year's Canada Post strike brought you to tears.
-When your drug collection actually expands regularly, rather then dwindles.

oh man!!!! my posties are NEVER female, so that scenario wouldn't come to life for me.
You know you're an RC user when you you're keeping track of whether or not its a postal day, waiting between 8am-12pm to come around to see if your posts been.
You know you're an RC user when you ask for help from your drug counsellor, and ask how you stop being addicted to RC stuff, and he tells you "Stop taking them!" (yeah dis ones true, it happened)
Can't think of anymore. Still laughing at the posty one.

-When it occures to you that you perform the duties of more unfortunate animals then anyone ever should.
-When you have checked the tracking number of at least one package in at least one country 3 times in the last 24 hours.
-When you have at least one app for tracking packages in at least one country on your mobile device.
-When the latest update on the tracking system at Canada Post reads "International item arrived in Canada and will be reviewed by Customs" you swallow a lump in your troat. Not because you're worried it won't make it through, but because you realise you won't have it before the weekend.
-When you have a ceaseless love/hate relationship with your postal service. You love them when you get your drugs but you hate them every waking second between placing the order and that moment. Repeat 3 weeks later.
-When meeting up with friends you notice they always pay close attention to your pupils. They try to be discreet, but there not fooling anyone.
-When the first thing you are asked on a saturday morning is "So what were you into last night?"

- your nasal passages feel like the inside of a cement mixer
- you have can't remember the effects of anything because you can't keep track
