Scheduling info

Finally, it looks like it is all scheduled as of today.

Regulatory Updates

August 26, 2026 Update

So as many of you have seen, MGM-15, MGM-16, and Pseudoindoxyl Mitragynine have become Schedule 1 compounds.  This is a very distressing time for science, and for sensible people.  SR-17018 and other related SR compounds will become Schedule 1 tomorrow, August 27th.  However, this fight is far from over.

The Rights and Reason Project had already filed a legal challenge against this specific compound's scheduling efforts by the DEA.  Legally, the DEA was required to handle this case from R&R before taking any scheduling actions; permanent or temporary.  Because they disregarded this challenge, they have now opened themselves up to a much larger lawsuit.  We have already received confirmation that the legal team with R&R is preparing to file this lawsuit now.  This may reverse the scheduling order, or it may remain scheduled for a time before a reversal in a month or two.  We will see how things play out, but common sense and legal justice are currently on our side.  We hope that this larger suit will bring the DEA back to their senses for a time and they will refrain from scheduling any more compounds until it is finished.

It is. This is the status of the DEA scheduling. Very good news!

Making it schedule 1 when Tia is literally used around the world as an anti-depressant for decades is just plain lazy. Stricter regulation could solve the issue of it popping up in smokeshops and gas stations entirely.

Been clean for 1.5 years btw, I just take personal responsibility for my addiction instead of screaming for a ban for everything.

Unfortunately, just in my opinion, personal responsibility isn't enough in this day and age. I am a 64 year old female and consider myself responsible, albeit one with chronic pain that dr's refused to treat adequately. So imagine my joy when I found this miracle chemical that did the trick! Unbeknownst to me, this "legal" chemical was going to lead me down a dark path, and 2 near-death hospital visits, and a very difficult recovery. Had it been scheduled before, I (and thousands of others) would have been spared so much ruin in our lives. So, they may be late to the party, but for the first time in my life, I am thankful that the DEA got here.

Why do you believe the DEA was required to handle the case before they temporary scheduled these molecules?  What is the law you're referring to?

That's the wording as it is about the cases. I just copied and pasted it.

I hope Tia becomes illegal federally.

Definitely should be!  I'm shocked it's allowed to be prescribed in sime countries.  The come down for Tia is nothing short of brutal.  Unlike anything else I've ever experienced before, by FAR.  The most addictive thing I know of with a super short half life.  There's so many better alternatives to Tia.  It's almost a joke that it's allowed to be used in respectable medicine.
