That’s kind of what happened in Australia after the explosion of research chemicals and “technically not xxx” alternatives were being imported legally.
They banned drugs based on ‘having an effect’ as opposed to the chemicals they contained.

I knew a lot of people importing research chemicals from Chinese websites prior, and a lot of that stopped after these laws came into play. I’m not sure how wide spread the related issues were, but it was definitely a thing.
But Australia never had the synthetics being sold in service stations like the article stated. That was a big thing in New Zealand tho, until it got clamped down on.
