Since a majority of research chemicals bear some functional and structural similarity to a scheduled chemical, they could theoretically be considered to be scheduled provided that intent for human consumption can be demonstrated. Precedent has already been set that vendors of research chemicals may be contravening this law

95. Gummy Bears
“the sugar in the gummis adds to the effect. It may also be because you're holding the booze in your mouth longer as you chew and explore the texture…They were bigger, jigglier, and a bit smoother going down…these don't taste like gummi bears that happen to have booze in them. No, they taste like vodka with gummi bear flavoring”. gizmodo.com/tag/happy-hour
