This page will serve as the hub for all regulatory updates regarding the current compounds that are at risk of scheduling.
We have recently partnered with a nonprofit called The Rights and Reason Project. This nonprofit's mission is to fight back against DEA overreach for the sake of Science. Placing all of these compounds under Schedule 1 is absolute absurdity, and completely restricts any scientific efforts or further research. This is a large step backwards from the direction of common sense - prohibition has long been thoroughly documented as a complete failure and for the DEA to take so many brazen, deceptive actions in July is incredibly disheartening.
August 6th, 2026 Updates
The Rights and Reason Project has submitted challenges against the emergency scheduling of 7-OH, and SR-17018, as well as challenging the proposal for rulemaking against Tianeptine. These cases will take some months to sort out and go through hearings. They will most likely remain legal until each case is finished in court. The DEA could also take immediate action despite the challenges and schedule these compounds at any moment; however that opens them up to an even more serious case being brought against them for doing so. The chances are very slim, but they do exist. As we understand it, these challenges will likely push back any scheduling efforts for all affected compounds, not just what has been challenged, for some months. This also means there is more time to raise funds for challenging more compounds. Unfortunately, there is no clarity or clear timeline for when/if scheduling will happen on any of the affected compounds and anyone saying otherwise should not be seen as a source of reliable information. All we can do is continue pushing back with everything we've got. If you want to get involved, even just by donating, visit The Rights and Reason Project website.
