trans-4-hydroxycrotonic acid

Does anyone know if this will be considered an analogue of any controlled substances? It's a metabolite of GHB and is an obvious analogue of 4-valerolactone.

But since only GHB is scheduled, and it's stretching it to even consider GHV a scheduled drug, I'd imagine T-HCA to be legal, but I dunno.

Anyway, T-HCA is more potent than GHB, and also a GABA-b agonist. Sounds like fun, huh?

ya sounds interesting. u got any studies done on it??

id be worried if it is so potent thought, its easy enough to od on G.

in the US though i suspect if they really wanted to schedule it they could jus make up a reason that damn DEA lol.

Are there any experience reports out there from someone who had taken it? From what I've read most of these alternatives including gvl are not really comparable in desirable effects to gbl or the few other legitimate alternatives. This shit maybe stronger but not more fun. I would still like to hear a report on it.

well unlike most of the other drugs, this isn't a pro-drug. I think that's where a lot of the side-effects come from, but it's hard to say.

I don't think it's been used outside research, but it doesn't look difficult to synth and probably can be found cheaply from china or even the US, though they may ask more questions.

I don't think that the main reason for alternatives is that they're legal. Barring some toxic side effects, I'd be willing to take something less fun and have ready access than something I couldn't get and enjoyed the hell out of.
