What the record says

Nothing in NAC 453.510 (Schedule I); NRS 453.146 (Board of Pharmacy scheduling) names Amanita muscaria, muscimol, or ibotenic acid (official text fetched 2026-10-07; psilocybin is listed, these are not). Watch item: the Attorney General's Substance Use Response Group (SURG) Response Subcommittee on Feb. 3, 2026 put forward for discussion a recommendation to add Amanita muscaria, muscimol and ibotenic acid to NAC 453.510 Schedule I, regardless of 'dietary supplement' or 'not for human consumption' labeling, via a bill draft request or Board of Pharmacy regulation. Because the Board can schedule by regulation, this could move before the 2027 session. No Nevada 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.

(b) A substance for which there is an approved new drug application;
(c) A substance with respect to which an exemption is in effect for investigational use by a particular person under Section 505 of the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 355) to the extent conduct with respect to the substance is permitted by the exemption; or
