Is there a list of psychadelic substances that are not considered controlled substances in the US?

Hi, new here, apologies if this is the wrong question for this sub.

Looking for a list of psychadelics that are not controlled in the US. I don't mean decriminalized or legal under specific circumstances - I mean there's no specific federal law that attaches any penalty to posession and use of the substance.

Anecdotally, I remember reading about some substances that are niche enough to not be specifically regulated by the federal government. But I'm having trouble finding a list of such substances, if there even is one. Does anyone have a list like this? Thanks

I'm sitting in a bar in Colorado and the colorado state gov't warning sign says you must be of age to purchase beer, wine, or whiskey. Why are beer, wine, and whiskey mentioned specifically instead of just saying 'alcohol'?

My wife and I are visiting in September and my wife has celiac disease, are there any gluten free restaurants, bakeries, or stores you recommend?

Apologies for English only. We booked our trip to Sarajevo before we found out she had celiac and I am a bit worried because I don't know how many gluten free options are in the city.

We can always make food ahead of time but that's just not as fun and takes extra time and hassle. So I would prefer to make a big list of places we can go and find gluten free options

Does anyone have recommendations? Thank you!

Long shot but does anyone know a place in this general area (cap hill/cheesman) where i can order beers and play DnD with my friends on my laptop?

I am not local, I'm apartment sitting a friend's place for the rest of the summer so i am ignorant of the area (sorry).

For unrelated reasons, I basically can't play at the apartment tonight, but I am the DM. My dream is a (relatively) chill bar or pub or restaurant that will let me use their WiFi and order drinks or food if they have it.

Pic is roughly where I can get to quickly on foot from where I am, but if there's a place a bit outside of these boundaries I'm also interested.

Thanks!

I've noticed historians will describe civilizations and societies as "complex" instead of using more biased terms like "advanced" or "developed". What does "complex" mean to a historian?

Quite often someone submits a question along the lines of, "Why did X area never have advanced civilizations like those that formed in Y area?" (see this recent post), and the response is almost always something along the lines of saying "actually, X area actually had multiple complex societies" (see this reply in previously mentioned post).

I understand the reason why we want to challenge the notion of societies/people being more or less "advanced" than others. However, I rarely see historians explain what exactly they mean when they say a society is "complex". This gets confusing because things that might make a society 'complex' seem like they would also make them 'advanced'.

For example, does 'complex' mean there is a social strata and division of labor? If this is true, wouldn't more specialized labor, and therefore a more diversified and developed economy, mean that a society is "more" complex? Wouldn't that make the notion of a society being more 'complex' effectively tied to how 'advanced' it is?

Can someone explain this concept to me, and explain how a society 'being more complex" is meaningfully different than it being 'more advanced/developed'?

What are some great documentaries with an ethereal/haunting atmosphere?

I love the kind of documentaries that build an atmosphere of dread, or the feeling that something big and unknown is lurking in the background. I'm looking for recs that fit this bill.

To be clear, I don't mean documentaries about supernatural phenomenon as the subject - I'm talking about the way it is shot, the style of interview, sound design, visuals, etc.

A few examples:

Thin Blue Line is the earliest documentary I've seen with this kind of ethereal and haunting tone. Check out the trailer - lots of long shots held on cold cityscapes and soulless details; tension-building soundtrack; and recreations of the murder that barely show any people, just lots of empty darkness and implied evil.

Citizenfour is dripping with this, as you can see from the trailer. Lots of long shots that give you the feeling of emptiness and alienation, music that builds dread, etc.

The Jinx is often like this, though this trailer doesn't do it justice. Long and sometimes surreal reenactments of murders, dread-inducing music, an extended segment focused on a haunting and bizarre suicide with slow-motion shots.

Before you suggest it, I'm also aware that Ken Burns is pretty good at creating a haunted feeling in his historical documentaries. For example, when discussing particularly macabre details or focusing on death and the doomed nature of conflict, he will use haunting instrumentals with long shots focused on uncanny old photos of someone long dead - like the final shot of the Shining, almost.

▲ 3 r/Scams

This is really two questions - (1) am I being scammed based on details below, and (2) regardless, is it basically safe to give my zelle QR code to someone, since in theory all they can do is send or request money, or can something more malicious be done with it?

I applied for a job and wrote a sample report for them and they want to compensate me via Zelle. I'm aware of the common scam where someone sends you a Zelle payment and talks you into sending money back, but is there any inherent harm to simply giving my QR code to them and leaving it at that?

**NOTE FOR MODS:** I made a post about this earlier but it was taken down because I did not include the web address. I messaged the mods and they agreed I don't have to share the address given they are a potential employer, but that I should explain this in my post.

Why I'm Suspicious: Their web page has a few errors like 404 pages or missing icons, that seem...strange for a legitimate company to have. I can't find the person I'm emailing with on Linkedin, though their email does have the same do.main as the web page, if that counts for anything. The company does not seem to have a presence on linkedin, and the only results from googling them are their own web page, and results for the job post I originally applied to. I asked if they could send a cashier's check as an alternative but they said they prefer electronic transmissions and asked if they could clear up any concerns I have.

Why it might not be a scam: I checked and they are an actual company registered with the Australian government. I've been emailing with the HR person back and forth, with them using their company email, and I haven't run into any obvious signs that this is all a ruse. It is plausible to me that they are a start-up with a small team, hence the lack of online presence and web page errors (note: they are not a tech company). I've also had friends that have been paid for doing 'work' as part of their application by legitimate companies, so the premise of compensating me doesn't seem outlandish. It all just seems like a lot of effort to get my Zelle QR code, which as far as I know can only be used to send or receive payments with the Zelle app and can't be used to further access your account.

We will have all of our food, camping and personal gear, for 5 nights, so I'm worried we might not be able to also fit all cans in our 3 canoes.

My first thought is to get a cheap cooler float and tow it, or to have mesh bags securely hanging off the side in the water, but I want to avoid any pitfalls.

Has anyone tried to transport this many canned beverages in canoes with success? What worked and what didn't? It's a very calm leisurely river, so I'm not worried about instability, more worried about it slowing us down.

EDIT: Yes we know that just bringing harder stuff will save space and be more convenient. But we don't want to do that, we want 300 canned beverages.
