Psychedelic Research Chemicals or RC Chems are new synthetic substances which are structurally similar to the original drug, while being functional analogs. Data on their effects limited due as they’re fairly new and do not have a lot of human consumption history.

Psychedelics are substances (natural or laboratory made) which cause profound changes in a one’s perceptions of reality. While under the influence of hallucinogens, users might hallcuniate visually and auditorily.

This is an Experimental Substance with little data. This is most likely because the substance is is not very old. Information is limite and incomplete.

Disclaimer: Psychedelic drugs offer some of the most powerful and intense psychological experiences. Additionally these substances are illegal in many places. We understand that even though these substances are illegal, their use occurs frequently. We do not condone breaking of the law. By providing accurate information about these substances, we encourage the user to make responsible decisions and practice harm reduction.

Description

1P-ETH-LAD Also known as:

A new psychedelic lysergamide which is suspected to be a prodrug of ETH-LAD, which could explain why the doses are very similar. Or it could be active on its own. Scientific studies would need to be written to understand, yet there are none.

Summary

It is a designer drug analog and suspected prodrug to ETH-LAD, which shares a close structural relationship with LSD and 1P-LSD. Anecdotal reports suggest that this compound produces largely similar psychedelic effects comparable to ETH-LAD or AL-LAD. Like its parent compound ETH-LAD, this compound has been reported to be moderately to significantly more potent than LSD itself.

It has also been reported as being subtly different in effect to LSD and is often described as being more visual and synaesthetic, with a deeper, less emotionally-charged headspace analogous to that of psychedelics like 2C-E or DPT. It has also been reported to be more likely to induce undesirable effects like anxiety, thought loops in addition to pronounced nausea and other discomforting physical effects it displays relative to other lysergamides. Very little data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of 1P-ETH-LAD, and it has little history of human usage before January 2016.

It has recently become commonly marketed alongside other designer psychedelics such as 1P-LSD and ETH-LAD as a legal alternative to LSD and is commercially distributed through online research chemical vendors.

Chemistry

1P-ETH-LAD is a structural analog of lysergic acid, with an N, N-diethylamide functional group bound to RN of the chemical structure.

This core polycyclic structure is an ergoline derivative and has tryptamine and phenethylamine groups embedded within it. 1P-ETH-LAD’s structure contains a bicyclic hexahydro indole fused to a bicyclic quinoline group (nor-lysergic acid).

1P-ETH-LAD does not contain a methyl group substituted at R6 of its nor-lysergic acid skeleton; the nor- prefix represents this.

Instead, 1P-ETH-LAD is substituted at R6 with an ethyl group and at R1 with a propionyl group.

At carbon 8 of the quinoline, an N, N-diethyl carboxamide is bound. 1P-ETH-LAD is a chiral compound with two stereocenters at R5 and R8.

1P-ETH-LAD, also called (+)-D-1P-ETH-LAD, has an absolute configuration of (5R, 8R).

The three other stereoisomers of 1P-ETH-LAD have not been shown to possess psychoactive properties.

Legal Status

It is unclear in many countries whether this compound is legal or not and one should take precaution by assuming it is illegal to avoid legal issues.

  • Canada: 1P-ETH-LAD is controlled as Schedule III substance under the Precursor Control Regulations of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.

  • Germany: 1P-ETH-LAD is controlled under the NpSG (New Psychoactive Substances Act) as of July 18, 2019. Production and import with the aim to place it on the market, administration to another person and trading is punishable. Possession is illegal but not penalized.
  • United States: 1P-ETH-LAD may be considered illegal in the U.S. under the Federal Analogue Act.
  • United Kingdom: It is illegal to produce, supply, or import this substance under the Psychoactive Substance Act, which came into effect on May 26, 2016.
