I recommend 5-meo-dalt for a shorter high/trip from a research chemical, 2c-x seem a bit long for what you are looking for. Also kratom, which is already on your list is very nice. The only thing that actually satisfies my thc craving (besides bud) is synthetic cannabinoids. Now you say jwh is banned in your state, but I bet there are other jwh chemicals that don't fit the ban. Also other synthetic cannabinoids exist besides jwh series such as AM-xxx and WIN-xxx which could be safer than getting analogues of a controlled substance. I recommend making your own blend to smoke if you need a thc replacement for the sake of passing drug tests. Still anything you are buying for this purpose will not be sold for human consumption and I don't suggest openly flaunting your replacement to everyone, low profile is still key.*
