District of Columbia (DC) — What’s Legal

Checked Oct 13, 2025 • Parent-friendly summary (not legal advice).

Tianeptine: Not listed by name in DC schedules.
Phenibut: Not scheduled; FDA: not a lawful dietary ingredient for supplements.
Kratom: 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) is Schedule I by DC regulation; natural kratom leaf itself isn’t scheduled — gas-station “enhanced” kratom may be illegal.
Nitrous oxide / inhalants: Covered via general consumer/inhalant enforcement; handled case-by-case.
THC / Cannabis: Adult-use possession/home grow allowed, but retail sales blocked by the federal “Harris Rider.” Medical program active; “gifting” shops face crackdowns.
Salvia: No DC-wide statutory ban located.
Amanita muscaria: Not scheduled.
“Mad honey”: No DC-specific ban; food framework + CDC/FDA grayanotoxin guidance.

Parent tip: “Enhanced” kratom (7-OH on label) is a red flag in DC — avoid and report.
