Phenibut is one listed on that web site though not much info. Dr. Bob might be tempted to move this to the Alternative forum but I assure you it is a powerful psychoactive pharmeceutical.
It works on GABA maybe vaguely like GHB & is currently available legally over the internet. It has been around in Russia since the 1960's used for various psychiatric & medical uses. Mostly it's good for anti-anxiety & mood lifting type action. It does get you high at larger doses & apparently tolerance builds rather quickly. It lasts a long time like 18 hours and can take up to 2 hours before you feel the effects. I've just got some & been trying it for a few days to replace 1mg klonopin very effectively at 1/2 gram dose. I tried 1-1/2g yesterday evening & woke in the middle of the night with very detailed vivid dreams. People are reporting all sorts of different reactions but most agree it's definitely very psychoactive. I can't find much that isn't about using it recreationally, that's why I thought I'd mention it here. I guess it's just recently been 'discovered' in the US & there isn't much experience. I expect it will become controlled at some time.
