U.S. FEDERAL LEGAL SUMMARY | |
5-MeO-DMT | |
REGULATED | No |
STATUS | Not Approved For Human Consumption |
SCHEDULE | Possible Analog |
5-MeO-DMT is unscheduled in the United States. It is possible that it could be considered an analog (of N,N-DMT), in which case, sales for human consumption or possession with the intent to ingest could be prosecuted under the Federal Analogue Act though we are unaware of any existing federal cases (6/21/04). We have heard of a prosecution for sales of 5-MeO-DMT under the Analog Act in California in the mid-1990's, but have been unable to find documentation for this, nor do we know the outcome of the case.
