Is Endomorphin-1 Legal in Indiana? (2026)

Legal

As of July 18, 2026, Endomorphin-1 is legal to sell at retail in Indiana. Unscheduled - legal as research-use-only; no operative instrument reaches a structurally-dissimilar opioid peptide. Controlling source: IC 35-48-1-9.3 (controlled substance analog).

What the record says

Endomorphin-1 (Tyr-Pro-Trp-Phe-NH2) is not named or scheduled in Indiana. The state has a controlled-substance analogue statute whose similarity test is CONJUNCTIVE (chemical structure substantially similar to a scheduled substance AND a substantially similar CNS effect). The structure prong fails for a tetrapeptide, so the statute does not reach EM-1. Controlling instrument reviewed: IC 35-48-1-9.3 (controlled substance analog). Conclusion: no operative instrument reaches a structurally-dissimilar endogenous opioid peptide; status LEGAL at the state controlled-substances level. Residual risk: minimal. Federal floor still applies (Analogue Act human-consumption contingency + FD&C unapproved-new-drug).

Controlling language, verbatim

IC 35-48-1-9.3: "'Controlled substance analog' means a substance that, due to its chemical structure ... meets the following criteria: (1) The substance is substantially similar to a controlled substance classified under IC 35-48-2. (2) The substance has a narcotic, stimulant, depressant, or hallucinogenic effect ... substantially similar to or greater than" a controlled substance; (c) "'substantially similar' ... means ... a single difference in the structural formula that substitutes one (1) atom or functional group for another ..." [Conjunctive + single-atom structure test - fails for a peptide.]
