Is 5-MeO-DMT legal?

5-MeO-DMT is known as a powerful research chemical with intense effects, such as a mystical experience. This might make you wonder: is 5-MeO-DMT actually legal? Let us reassure you right away: if you're conducting research into the effects of 5-MeO-DMT, you are allowed to buy and possess this substance. However, it is not permitted for recreational use. In this article, we will further explore the legality of 5-MeO-DMT and also look into whether anything will change regarding its legal status following the legislative amendment of 1-7-2025.

Legal status of 5-MeO-DMT

At the time of writing, 5-MeO-DMT is legal. The substance is not listed on any of the Opium Lists. In the Netherlands, 5-MeO-DMT is unregulated, but it is generally stated that 5-MeO-DMT may be legally sold and purchased, as long as it is used for research purposes. This research chemical is not suitable for human consumption or recreational use. In other countries, the use of 5-MeO-DMT has already been restricted, meaning you can no longer buy 5-MeO-DMT in, for example:

• Denmark
• Germany
• Greece
• Sweden
• Great Britain

Is 5-MeO-DMT still legal after the legislative change?

The Dutch government aims to restrict research into the effects of research chemicals with the legislative amendment of 1-7-2025. In this revision, a new Opium List has been created, which includes several groups of substances within research chemicals. As a result, these substances will become illegal. The following classes are included:

• Benzofurans, such as 5-MAPB
• Fluorinated substances, such as 4-FMA
• Synthetic cannabinoids, such as 7-ADD
• Fentanyl-like substances, such as flakka
• Synthetic cathinones, such as 5-MMPA

Is 5-MeO-DMT the same as DMT?

DMT is a substance found in plants and animals and has been used as a psychedelic for many years. 5-MeO-DMT is a chemical analogue of this substance, meaning it triggers similar effects but is at least five times more potent than DMT. 5-MeO-DMT is active at a lower dose due to the presence of just a few extra atoms compared to DMT. As a result, with 5-MeO-DMT, you can expect powerful and intense effects, such as:

Complete change in perspective

Strong transcendent experience without visual hallucinations

Euphoric feelings

Heightened erotic/sensual sensations

Not without reason is 5-MeO-DMT known as the God’s Molecule: a mystical experience of intense nature surely awaits in any research involving this substance.
