Summary
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is proposing to officially classify cumyl-pegaclone as an illegal drug in the same category as heroin and LSD. This action aims to prevent the spread of a synthetic substance that may pose health and safety risks to the public.
Key Points
- 1Cumyl-pegaclone would be placed in Schedule I, meaning it would be illegal to make, sell, or possess without a special government license
- 2This is a proposed rule, so the public has until January 13, 2026 to submit comments or concerns before the DEA makes a final decision
- 3The substance appears to be a synthetic drug with no approved medical uses, similar to other designer drugs that manufacturers create to get around existing drug laws
- 4If approved, people caught with this drug could face federal criminal penalties, including fines and imprisonment
- 5The DEA likely took this action because the drug is becoming more available or causing public health concerns in communities
