I am relatively well informed on recreational drugs compared to the general public, but I haven’t paid attention to the research chemical scene for a few years and this block of text from a supplier has me confused as hell.

> We stock 2-MeO-Ketamine, 5-MeO-DALT, 5-APB Powder, 6-APB Pellets, AMT, Benzo Fury, Camfetamine, Etizolam, Ethylphenidate, M&M Pellets, Methiopropamine, MDAI Powder, Synthacaine, Pyrazolam, N-Ethyl-Ketamine, AKB-48 Powder, MAM-2201 Powder, STS-135 Powder and Intercense, our own exclusive AM-2201 Incense Blend.

😕 I can recognize a few chemicals there just because they are analogs with similar names, the rest I am drawing a blank on. How the hell do you remain well informed about a scene that changes monthly apparently? How can you be assured of safety?

There has been at least one apparent disaster with a batch of bromo-dragonfly that for whatever reason appeared to be toxic.
