What the record says

Nothing in K.S.A. 65-4105 (Schedule I) names Amanita muscaria, muscimol, or ibotenic acid (official text fetched 2026-10-07; psilocybin is listed, these are not). No Kansas statute or rule names these compounds, so the only reach is general food adulteration law read with FDA's Dec. 18, 2024 determination that A. muscaria and its constituents are unapproved food additives, which does not reach inhaled products such as vapes. Analogue-act reach is remote because muscimol and ibotenic acid are not structurally similar to any Schedule I or II hallucinogen.

**Analog statute — K.S.A. 65-4101(g)(1):** "'Controlled substance analog' means a substance that is intended for human consumption, and at least one of the following: (A) The chemical structure of the substance is substantially similar to the chemical structure of a controlled substance listed in or added to the schedules designated in K.S.A. 65-4105 or 65-4107 …; (B) the substance has a stimulant, depressant or hallucinogenic effect on the central nervous system substantially similar to … a controlled substance included in the schedules designated in K.S.A. 65-4105 or 65-4107 …; or (C) with respect to a particular individual, such individual represents or intends the substance to have a … hallucinogenic effect … substantially similar …"

**"Isomer" definition (why the schedule catch-all does not reach it) — K.S.A. 65-4101(y):** "'Isomer' means all enantiomers and diastereomers." (4-HO-MET is a homolog of the listed 4-substituted tryptamines, not an enantiomer/diastereomer — so the 65-4105(d) "salts, isomers and salts of isomers" sweep does not capture it.)

**Schedule gap — K.S.A. 65-4105(d):** the hallucinogen list names AET, bufotenine, DET, DMT, psilocybin, psilocyn, AMT, 5-MeO-DiPT, 5-MeO-DMT, etc.; **4-HO-MET is not named**, and there is no "4-hydroxytryptamine"/"any tryptamine" generic in the subsection.
