During the time period of the operation RAC operated in a grey area of the narcotics law and claimed their right to legally sell chemicals which were not listed as controlled substances per se. However the DEA contended that RAC, among others, was supplying its customers with analogues of controlled substances, a practice it claimed violated the Federal Analog Act. The DEA is currently prosecuting RAC as part of its ongoing war on drugs.
