What the record says

New York Schedule I(d) (Public Health Law Sec. 3306) lists its hallucinogenic substances by name and does not include Salvia divinorum or salvinorin A; no other schedule names them. A full-text search of the Public Health, Penal, General Business, Agriculture and Markets, Education and Mental Hygiene Laws found no occurrence of salvia or salvinorin, so there is no state named ban, sale-to-minor rule or labeling rule. Bills to ban the sale of salvia passed the Senate in several sessions (for example S1454 of 2013) and Assembly bills were introduced as recently as 2019 (A2792), but none was enacted. Some local governments have adopted their own salvia laws; those are local only and were not reviewed. New York has no controlled substance analog statute (PBH 3302 defines no analog). Not federally controlled (see the federal page).

isobutyl nitrite, pentyl nitrite or any other akyl nitrite compound that
is either designed to be used, or commonly used, as an inhalant.


  2. No person shall, for the purpose of causing a condition of
intoxication, inebriation, excitement, stupefaction, or the dulling of
his brain or nervous system, intentionally smell or inhale the fumes
from any hazardous inhalants or from any glue containing a solvent
having the property of releasing toxic vapors or fumes; provided, that

  (a) if he has knowledge that the product sold, or offered for sale,
will be used for the purpose set forth in subdivision two of this
section; or

subdivision.
  (d) The commissioner is directed to promulgate regulations to exempt

the package;
  (ii) display prominently on the package in heavy type print language
