1A, but still shows strongest effects at the 5-HT
2 family of receptors.
LEGAL STATUS.
It is not controlled under the
1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances, so thus it has a legal grey area in many
countries of the world, but its consumption still could be persecuted under severe analogue acts or the intend of sell to human consumption.
