U.S. FEDERAL LEGAL SUMMARY | |
5-MeO-AMT | |
REGULATED | No |
STATUS | Not Approved For Human Consumption |
SCHEDULE | Possible Analog |
5-MeO-AMT is unscheduled in the United States. It is possible that it could be considered an analog (of AMT), in which case, sales for human consumption or possession with the intent to ingest could be prosecuted under the Federal Analogue Act.
There are currently several cases pending in U.S. federal court against online vendors for selling research chemicals. These cases may address the question of whether this chemical could be legally defined as an analog of a scheduled substance. We are unaware of any cases against individuals for possession alone (7/24/04).
