**PHL § 3306, Schedule I(d) (hallucinogen chapeau)** — "Hallucinogenic substances. Unless specifically excepted or unless listed in another schedule, any material, compound, mixture, or preparation, which contains any quantity of the following hallucinogenic substances, or which contains any of its salts, isomers, and salts of isomers whenever the existence of such salts, isomers, and salts of isomers is possible within the specific chemical designation (for purposes of this paragraph only, the term 'isomer' includes the optical, position and geometric isomers): … (18) Psilocybin. (19) Psilocyn."
— N.Y. Pub. Health Law § 3306, Sch. I(d)(18)–(19), https://law.justia.com/codes/new-york/pbh/article-33/title-1/3306/ (MIRROR: Justia). The qualifier is "isomers" only (optical/position/geometric); no homologue extension, so the N-ethyl homolog 4-HO-MET is not captured.
**PHL § 3302(4) (definitions — no analog provision)** — "'Controlled substance' means a substance or substances listed in section thirty-three hundred six of this title." PHL 3302's 41 definitions contain no "analog," "analogue," or "substantially similar in chemical structure" provision.
