Long Flourish Pharm (LFP): an autopsy of the Chinese research-chemical shop that supplied the SR-17018 market

Who they said they were, and what the record says

For about a year, if you were trying to get off 7-OH or MGM-15 with SR-17018, the powder in your jar most likely started in a shop that its buyers called LFP. In July 2025 a regular in r/SR17018 put it this way: "to my knowledge more or less all of the SR-17 used outside of scientific studies is originally made by LFP", adding that "The US vendors charge about 2-3x as much as China-based LFP because they buy from him and then act as middlemen".[1] Another wrote that "All SR-17018 on the market was made in China".[2] Neither claim can be checked from outside. What can be checked is the shop: two domains, eight years of archived pages, and the Federal Register orders that followed its menu.

The letters stand for Long Flourish. A buyer in June 2025 worked it out in public: "long flourishing is what lf stands for".[3] The store's own pages agree. The first domain, longflourishrc.com, was registered on 2017-08-17 through Alibaba Cloud in Beijing.[4] Its earliest archived page, from February 2018, carries the title "longflourish chem ltd".[5] By April 2019 the footer read "copyright 2017 longflourishrc ltd all rights reserved", and the About page said the site "is a company registered in HK, china, since 2011".[6] In June 2024 a banner on the home page read Long Flourish Research chem, in large type.[7]

The second domain, longflourishpharm.com, was registered on 2024-07-09 through a Shanghai registrar.[8] It used the same shop software, the same layout and the same product numbers: the SR-17018 page is product 105 on both domains, and 4-CMA is 99 on both.[9][10] Its logo read LFPharm, the abbreviation buyers used.[11] Its About page was the old one with one change: the company was now "registered in HK, china, since 2015". The footer named a third company: "copyright 2024 LFP Telecom Ltd all rights reserved".[12] No page on either domain named a person, gave an address, or explained why the founding year moved by four years.

Figure 4. November 2024: the same About text, with the founding year changed from 2011 to 2015. [12]

The move between domains is visible in the archive. The old storefront answered normally through June 2024. Five days before the new domain was registered, a post in r/researchchemicals asked "Anyone know the fate of a certain vendor from China whos no longer flourishing?"; moderators removed it under the sourcing rule.[13] The first capture of longflourishpharm.com is dated 2024-08-09.[10] Early in 2025 the old domain was answering with server errors.[9]

The rise: a catalogue that ran ahead of the schedule

The 2018 menu opened with "benzazole & indazole chems", the families of the synthetic cannabinoids, and its top products were 4F-MPH, 3-HO-PCP, 25E-NBOH and isopropyl U-47700, a cousin of the opioid U-47700.[5] The page title also named 4-HO-MET, clonazolam and flunitrazolam. Each listing carried the same disclaimer: "for laboratory research purposes only and are not to be used for any other purposes".[5]

The capture index records 185 product pages on the old domain.[9] From 2020 the new ones are mostly opioids. Brorphine was listed by September 2020. Metonitazene was listed by August 2020, followed within months by flunitazene (sold as fluonitazene), metodesnitazene, butonitazene and etonitazepyne. Protonitazene was listed by August 2021, described as "a benzimidazole derived opioid analgesic drug related to etonitazene which has been sold as a designer drug".[14] Dipyanone, AP-238, 2-methyl-AP-237 and desmethylmoramide filled out the opioid shelf, beside benzodiazepines such as bromazolam, flubromazolam and diclazepam.[9]

Figure 6. August 2021: protonitazene, a nitazene opioid, on sale by the 5 g. DEA placed it in Schedule I eight months later. Prices hidden by us. [14]

The pattern that follows is the centre of this dossier. A compound appears on the menu; one to five years later, a DEA order places it in Schedule I. Brorphine was listed by September 2020 and scheduled on 2021-03-01.[15] Six nitazenes the shop sold, metonitazene, protonitazene, butonitazene, metodesnitazene, flunitazene and N-pyrrolidino etonitazene, went into Schedule I together on 2022-04-12. That order lists the last one's street name: "other names N-pyrrolidino etonitazene, etonitazepyne".[16] Clonazolam, flubromazolam and diclazepam followed in July 2023.[17] 2-methyl-AP-237, listed since 2019, was placed in Schedule I in 2024.[18]

Figure 7. Every bar starts with a product page in the archive and ends with a Federal Register order. Drawn by us from the capture index and eight DEA orders. [9]

The shop's answer to each order was the next molecule. After the N-pyrrolidino etonitazene order came the other N-pyrrolidino nitazenes: metonitazepyne by October 2022, protonitazepyne by December 2022, isotonitazepyne by June 2024.[9] In June 2024 isotonitazepyne was a top product on the home page: "isotonitazepyne hcl".[7] Its own listing said it had been "sold as a designer drug over the internet" and that "it is specifically listed as an illegal drug in the US state of Virginia".[19] Then the N-desethyl nitazenes, by December 2023 and April 2024; then a different family altogether, the benzimidazolone opioids that the Federal Register calls orphines. Each successor was later scheduled too: N-desethyl isotonitazene and the piperidinyl compound the shop sold as etonitazepipne in July 2024, "other names N-piperidinyl etonitazene, etonitazepipne";[20] metonitazepyne and protonitazepyne in August 2025, "other names N-pyrrolidino protonitazene, protonitazepyne";[21] isotonitazepyne, N-desethyl etonitazene and N-desethyl protonitazene in October 2025.[22]

The dates come from the archive, so they are the first time a crawler saw a page, not the day the product went on sale. One listing shows the gap running the other way. Metonitazene was captured on sale on 2022-08-10, four months after its April order, with a description that read: "Its effects are similar to other opioids like fent and her including analgesia, euphoria, sleepiness". The same page said "this product is intended for research and forensic applications".[23][16]

The SR-17018 year

SR-17018 is a research opioid, not a medicine. This site's page for it is filed under its chemical name, 5,6-dichloro desmethylchlorphine. The earliest archived listing of it we found anywhere is on longflourishrc.com, captured 2023-12-08, product code LF-61, sold by the 5 g. The description read: "SR-17018 is a drug which acts as a biased agonist at the opioid receptor", and "in animal studies it produces analgesic effects but with less respiratory depression and development of tolerance than conventional opioids".[24] Under it, in the same "recommend" box, was "N-desethyletonitazene malate".[24] A buyer in April 2026 put the timing the same way: "longflourish was the first ik of a vendor doing it", in early 2024.[25]

Figure 8. December 2023, the earliest archived listing of SR-17018 anywhere we found. The proof offered is an NMR trace, not a certificate. Prices hidden by us. [24]

When kratom-alkaloid users began trying SR-17018 to come off 7-OH and MGM-15, a subreddit formed around it. r/SR17018's first post in the archive is from April 2025.[26] Sourcing is banned there, so the shop was named in code. Buyers wrote LF, LFP or LongF, or asked whether anyone had "flourished the long way".[27] In June 2025 one buyer broke the rule and named the domain, writing that "the shipment is made from Hong Kong".[28]

In March 2025 the shop added SR-14968, the bromo cousin of SR-17018. Its listing said "it is closely related to other compounds such as brorphine and SR-17018".[29] Cychlorphine had arrived in April 2024 and spirochlorphine in November 2024; the cychlorphine page called it "around 4times stronger than fentany".[30] Buyers worried about the mix-up this made possible: one said in June 2025 that he would not want to be sent SR-14968 by mistake.[3]

Figure 9. March 2025: SR-14968, the bromo cousin of SR-17018, joins the menu. Buyers worried about being sent one instead of the other. Prices hidden by us. [29]

The catalogue, as a buyer saw it

Opioids. In 2025 the menu held SR-17018, SR-14968, cychlorphine, spirochlorphine, N-desethyl protonitazene, isotonitazepyne, methiodone, nortilidine and piptapentadol.[10] By November 2025 the home page's top products were "etodezitramide hcl", a bezitramide-type opioid, "spirobrorphine hcl" and the benzodiazepine "pynazolam".[31]

Benzodiazepines, stimulants, psychedelics and cannabinoids. Clonazolam was on the 2024 home-page banner.[11] Cathinones such as alpha-PiHP and 3-desoxy-MDPV, tryptamines such as 4-AcO-DMT and 4-HO-MET, the NBOH phenethylamines, and synthetic cannabinoids including ADB-BUTINACA and MDMB-4en-PINACA appear in the index.[9] In December 2019 the old site sold a product called "xanax blend" under alprazolam's chemical name. Nothing on the page explains what the blend was.[32]

4-CMA. The listing that buyers argued about most was 4-chloromethamphetamine. It said plainly that 4-CMA is "the N-methyl derivative and prodrug of the neurotoxic drug para-chloroamphetamine".[33] In July 2025 a buyer posted it and wrote "I would not trust any vendor that sells the absolute poison that is 4-CMA".[2] Others defended the shop for printing the warning.

Figure 11. The 4-CMA listing as a buyer posted it in July 2025, during an argument about whether a shop that sells a known neurotoxin can be trusted. The same text is on the archived page. [2]

How it sold. Product pages gave the chemical name, formula and CAS number, and a minimum order of 5 g. A 2025 buyer's screenshot shows the SR-17018 listing that way.[1] Every product page also carried an affiliate offer: "Join us to promote this product via an exclusive link".[30] Links that buyers posted to r/SR17018 carried a referral code in the address.[2] An order was placed by email: the shop sent "an invoice rather quickly with further payment instructions".[34] In 2019 the payment page offered MoneyGram, bank transfer and Bitcoin, opening with "MoneyGram international customers are able to pay by MoneyGram".[35] By 2024 Bitcoin was the only method, arranged by email, "when u gonna use bitcoin as payment method".[36] Buyers confirmed: "you pay with BTC".[2]

Figure 12. July 2025: a buyer in r/SR17018 posts the listing and asks how the pricing works. Cropped by us above the price. [1]

What the terms said. The 2019 FAQ said "all packages are shipped from china or swiss or belgium", that "THE CHEMICALS OFFERED BY OUR COMPANY ARE STRICTLY NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION", and that "the products we sell are unregulated in the most countries we ship to".[37] It also warned buyers to "please pay attention to the name on the label as it is different from chemicals IUPAC name", which means the name on the parcel was not the name of the chemical inside.[37] The 2024 shipping page promised "one reship if order is lost or delayed by customs", said "all orders are non-exchangeable, non-refundable and non-transferable. All sales are final", claimed "we do not ever make mistakes in dosage or packaging", and closed: "Please keep in mind that we do not ship any illegal or controlled susbtances".[38] The same site listed opioids that the Federal Register had already placed in Schedule I.

What buyers report

We read every post in r/SR17018 in the Arctic Shift archive on 2026-10-11: 6,337 posts from April 2025 to 2026-10-11.[26] 18 name the shop as LF, LFP, LongF or Long Flourish in the title or body, all between June and December 2025. Comment searches by month for "longflourish", "LFP", "longf" and "flourish" found 59 more comments naming it. We read all 18 threads and every one of those comments. The subreddit removes posts that name or ask for sources, so many survive only as titles. Counts are of posts and comments, not of buyers.

Hauls and praise, June to November 2025. The largest group. "Bought various RCs from them over the years", said one buyer in July 2025, and "LFP very responsive emails within 24 hours".[39] Another noted "they have credible vouches on Dread", the darknet forum, and a third that "they are the only verified vendor on Dread last time I checked".[3][2] A buyer who wrote "I used to use LF for lots of very bad analogues of drugs" also wrote that "they dropped the ball on a very large order I placed" and never made it good.[28]

Shipping, 2025. Buyers describe parcels from China that "ships from china thru a network of USPS partners" and arrived postmarked inside the US, in one to five weeks.[39] In September 2025 a run of USPS holds: "postage not paid package on hold until payment received".[40] One buyer whose parcel showed the same status later wrote "today I got notice the package was seized for counterfeit postage".[41]

Quality. Most of the SR-17018 threads report a powder that worked. One buyer reported a 5 g order that "did nothing really at all".[42] Purity figures came up repeatedly, each a buyer's claim: "their SR came back at 67%" (relayed second-hand), "I had mine from LFP tested at Kykeon. About 60% purity", "nearly all from LFP in China" at 98.9%, and for the last batch "came back 90% SR-17018".[39][43][44][45] We could not read any of the reports. The shop claimed purity "of at least 98" per cent.[6]

Lookalikes. "There are multiple clone sites of LFP so be careful", a buyer warned in July 2025.[42] One of them is in the archive: longflourishrcs.com, re-registered ten days after the real store's new domain, running the old logo, menu and banner on different shop software.[46] In October 2025 a post asked for "the real website url": "I tried to flourish the long way and got scammed".[27]

Figure 16. The community that bought from LFP kept growing after LFP stopped. Counted by us from the full archive of the subreddit. [26]

How it ended

The last ordinary capture of the store is dated 17 November 2025, with new opioids at the top of the page.[31] On some days from October 2025 the archive's crawler was answered instead with HTTP 402 and a one-line message telling visitors to contact the site owner.[47]

Figure 17. 17 November 2025, the last capture before the store stopped answering. Its top products that month were three new opioids and a benzodiazepine. [31]

The end, as buyers recorded it:

• 14 December 2025. "One of the reputable vendors from overseas" had not answered email for about four days. A reply relayed from a private group: the shop was "no longer shipping and will probably shut down".[48]
• 18 December. A thread asked for news of "our friends in China at LF". A reply said the supplier "was raided and everything seized", which is an allegation, set out below.[49]
• 20 December. "Site went down and is blank", then: "their website is blank. LFP are out of the game."[49] We date the closure to that day.
• 22 December. "The LFP website is back online after being down for 48 hours", but the shop was "still not replying to emails".[50]
• 31 December. "LFP is gone".[45]
• March 2026. In r/researchchemicals: "old news been gone for months".[51]

The storefront itself outlived the business. The archive caught a full home page on 3 March 2026 and the 402 response two days later.[52][10] The domain is registered until July 2027.[8]

Figure 18. What the archive sometimes got instead of the store, from October 2025 on: HTTP 402 and a one-line message sending visitors to the site owner. The same answer was captured in February and March 2026. [47]

What happened to open orders

This is where LFP's end differs from most shop closures in these files. We found no post, before or after 20 December, from a buyer who had paid LFP and not been shipped. The complaints in December 2025 are from people who had not yet ordered: "I was sadly placing a $500 order the day before it went down", one wrote, and was glad not to have sent the money.[48] Buyers who had ordered in November reported receiving parcels; one posted under a photo of the last batch, "Mine looks like this too from LFP".[45] The last batch in circulation was a granular, orange-tinted powder that some buyers said worked less well and one buyer said had tested at 90%.[45]

Figure 19. December 2025: a buyer's photo of the orange-tinted SR-17018 batch, the last one in circulation as the store went dark. A later commenter said theirs from LFP looked the same. [45]

What the closure did produce was a shortage. US resellers raised prices, and in January 2026 a moderator wrote that "people are really taking advantage of the shortage", as scammers worked the subreddit's direct messages.[53] The subreddit kept growing: from 390 posts in December 2025 to 1,135 in July 2026.[26]

On 27 August 2026 DEA placed SR-17018, SR-14968, cychlorphine and spirochlorphine in Schedule I, all four of them compounds LFP had listed. The order says "this temporary order is effective August 27, 2026, until August 27, 2028". It found "2 total encounters of 5,6-dichloro desmethylchlorphine in 2 states since 2025" in the national lab data, noted that "online discussions surrounding the recreational use of these substances have recently increased", and that the four are "easily and affordably obtainable online and on the illicit market".[54]

Figure 20. 27 August 2026: all four orphine opioids LFP had listed go into Schedule I, eight months after the store went dark. The order begins halfway down the middle column. [54]

Lab results

The About page promised that "every new batch of product passes laboratory tests and arrives to us complete with certification of analysis".[6] What the product pages show instead is a spectrum: the SR-17018 and cychlorphine pages carry an image of an NMR trace, with no laboratory, date or batch number on it.[24][30] A spectrum of an unnamed sample says nothing about the jar a buyer received. No certificate from a named laboratory was found on either domain, and this site's lab-results section holds no test of an LFP product. The buyers' purity figures are set out above.

Allegations: who says what, why, and what we could check

• That the shop was raided and its stock seized. In December 2025 commenters wrote that the supplier "was raided and everything seized" and that "they got busted and 100 kilos of SR17 was seized", and one that "LFP is officially closing or going underground for a while".[49][55][45] Others in the same threads disagreed: "this has absolutely nothing to do with a raid".[55] One commenter who made the raid claim also said he had supply contacts of his own, which is a reason to talk up a competitor's fall. What we could check: web searches for a raid, a seizure, an indictment or a press release naming the business returned nothing.[56] A rumour that "China is shutting down ALL RC labs" circulated at the same time; the buyer who searched for it found nothing published either.[50] No deduction rests on the raid claim.
• That LFP's SR-17018 was under-strength. Buyers' purity figures run from about 60% to 98.9%, from tests nobody posted.[43][39][44][45] Unchecked.
• That US resellers repackaged LFP's product at two or three times the price. A regular's claim, made in good faith and without evidence.[1] Unchecked; the resellers are not named here.

If you bought from LFP, hold a jar, a label or a certificate, or know who ran it, rate it below or leave a note.

Regulatory and legal

No warning letter, indictment, civil suit or press release naming Long Flourish, longflourishrc.com, longflourishpharm.com or LFP Telecom Ltd was found in web searches on 2026-10-11.[56] The Federal Register record is about the molecules, not the business: at least 21 compounds the shop listed were later placed in Schedule I by the orders cited above, and four of them by the August 2026 order.[54] The shop told buyers that "we do not ship any illegal or controlled susbtances".[38]

No archived page on either domain asked a visitor's age.[5][11]

Still open

• Who ran it. Searched: every archived page of both domains, both domain records, web searches for the three company names. The record holds three names, Longflourish Chem Ltd, Longflourishrc Ltd and LFP Telecom Ltd, and no person.
• Whether any of those companies exists. The Hong Kong company register was not searched.
• Why it stopped. No statement from the shop was archived. The raid account is a buyer's.
• Whether it reopened under another name. None found. Buyers in 2026 name other suppliers and say none is the same.

Changes

• 2026-10-11: first written.
