Ethylphenidate is not specifically scheduled in the United States.

INTERNATIONAL LAW #
Germany (Deutschland)#
We received a report that Methoxetamine will become controlled in Germany in eartly 2013. See http://www.bfarm.de/DE/Bundesopiumstelle/BtM/sachverst/Protokolle/Tagesordnung_39.html. Consumption or intent to consume puts it under the pharmaceutical regulations, making it illegal to sell for human consumption without proper licenses.
