Newsbrief:
DEA
Moving
to
Schedule
Two
More
"Hallucinogens"
1/31/03
The Center for Cognitive
Liberty and Ethics (http://www.cognitiveliberty.org)
reported this week that the Drug Enforcement Administration has moved to
place two more "hallucinogens" into Schedule I of the federal Controlled
Substances Act. The two substances are Alpha-methyltryptamine (AMT)
and 5-methoxy-N,N-disopropyltryptamine (5-MeO-DIPT). Neither is in
wide use. The DEA acted under its emergency scheduling powers, which
mandate a 30-day waiting period before the scheduling takes effect.
Thus, as of February 26, it will be a crime to buy, sell or possess the
two drugs without a DEA license. The agency has up to 18 months to
permanently schedule the two substances.
For more information on AMT
and 5-Me0-DIPT, also known as Foxy Methoxy, visit their respective pages
