As of October 8, 2026, Amanita muscaria / Muscimol is legal to sell at retail in North Carolina. Not named on North Carolina schedules or in any state law; edibles reachable only via general food-adulteration law. Controlling source: G.S. 90-89.
Verified October 8, 2026 · confidence: confirmedNothing in N.C. Gen. Stat. Sec. 90-89 (Schedule I) names Amanita muscaria, muscimol, or ibotenic acid (official text fetched 2026-10-07; psilocybin is listed, these are not). No North Carolina 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.
Among North Carolina's 4 neighbors, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia are legal, the same posture as North Carolina.
