How do you know it's mind-altering ahead of time though? They're sold as "bath salts" or "incense" for plausible deniability. Actually banning any abusable chemical in any form would have a massive impact on a whole range of industries. Even heavy regulation of precursors and otherwise important chemicals hasn't stopped novel ways of doing without them. So you're still playing catch-up, even if you make sure your analytic lab gets the sample on day 1, and presents you with firm evidence of both (a) what's actually in the thing, GC/MS/NMR etc, and (b) how & why you think it's "mind-altering". Sample $z acts as a dopamine releasing agent in the homogenized rat neural tissue[1]" is enough to publish a pre-clinical study on it, but I'd at least hope it could be challenged if it came to a court. And of course, it doesn't have any impact whatsoever on abuse of pharmaceuticals, which is already on track to beat out most other drugs in terms of accidents & fatalities in the (near) future. According to [2], it may even have happened already to the USA. [1] brain soup.
