Pennsylvania (PA) — What’s Legal

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

Tianeptine: Bill pending. SB 946 (2025–26) would schedule tianeptine and require adverse-event reporting; not enacted yet.
Phenibut: Not scheduled; FDA says it is not a lawful dietary ingredient (supplement sales are misbranded).
Kratom: Not scheduled statewide (as of 2025). Local/retail enforcement varies; see 50-state snapshots for context.
Nitrous oxide / inhalants: State inhalant law covers “noxious” solvent/vapor products; retail restrictions and offenses apply.
THC / Cannabis: Medical only (Medical Marijuana Act, 2016). Adult-use bill passed House May 2025 but is not law.
Salvia divinorum / Salvinorin A: Schedule I since 2011.
Amanita muscaria: Not scheduled in PA (general product/labeling laws still apply).
“Mad honey”: No PA-specific ban; treat as food hazard (grayanotoxin risks: bradycardia, hypotension).

Parent tip: If a package promises “focus/relax,” check for stimulant stacks (DMHA/PEA/caffeine) or kratom extracts before buying.
