U.S. FEDERAL LEGAL SUMMARY Phalaris Grass REGULATED No STATUS Ambiguous SCHEDULE Contains

Schedule I Chemical CLASSIFICATION Hallucinogen

DMT-containing Phalaris grass (P. quatica, P. arundinacea, P. canariensis, P. tuberosa) are not specifically controlled species in the United States. Live plants and seeds are bought and sold and are not generally considered illegal. However, DMT, one of the chemicals contained in these plants, is Schedule I in the U.S. Practically, this means that if an extraction is done on DMT containing Phalaris species, the resulting DMT is illegal to possess.



Large scale (especially commercial) extraction of DMT from Phalaris species falls into the realm of "clearly illegal" and would very likely be prosecuted. It is also possible that importation of DMT containing Phalaris species into the United States could result in problems with customs, especially if large volumes are imported.
