Panther cap

Unlike psilocybin, Amanita muscaria and muscimol were not scheduled under the US Controlled Substances Act, and they also did not appear to be controlled under comparable drug laws in most countries, with a few exceptions.

The Netherlands treated Amanita muscaria and Amanita pantherina, which also contains muscimol, as controlled substances, and in the US, manufacturers generally acknowledged Louisiana as a state where sales were restricted.

One manufacturer's legal guidance listed prohibitions in countries including Brazil, Thailand, Australia, Romania, Russia, Sweden, and Ukraine.

But the broader pattern appeared to be permissiveness by omission or legal loophole.
