"Rush" sounds like a special kind of amphetamine that you take right before going on 32 hour "deep dive" for purposes of corporate espionage, in a 1980s cyberpunk setting where your best friend is a lady with laser-deflecting mirrored eyes and razor-embedded fingernails

In other words, it sounds like the Good Stuff (tm)

I’m pretty sure back in the late 2000s there was a liquid vial called “Rush” you could buy from headshops here in Aus that had 4-methylmethcathinone in them, before “meow meow” (no one called it that) became well known.

Was awesome due to the MDMA drought at the time!

Rush is the most popular brand of poppers. Maybe you're thinking of those? It's a liquid in a vial, but nothing like MDMA, and definitely older than the 2000s. If not, and there was another drug called Rush sold in a vial, I'll bet that it's caused some unfortunate mix-ups.

No no they're talking about RCs. There used to be a shitton of shady products containing some random chemical(s) like synthetic cannabinoids or cathinones, often claiming to be just herbal blends or safe and legal alternatives to the real stuff. So it's absolutey possible you could buy a packet of MDPV and it said Rush on the packaging - just some random branding that would likely change

Haha nah not poppers but they also sold those. Just not the more commonly known brand names. These were sold as “legal” highs openly here despite actually being illegal! There were a few different names but it was all the same thing, 4-MMC in liquid form to drink.

Also had London Underground Doves which were 4-MMC capsules as well.
