Not individually verified

We have not confirmed that 4-AcO-DMT specifically is scheduled in Canada, so this page gives no legal status. Publishing a guess here would be worse than publishing nothing. What we do know is the governing national drug law, below.

What is on record
Not confirmed. 4-AcO-DMT is not named in any schedule of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. The Act was read against it in full.

Confirm directly with Canada’s national drug authority or your own embassy before you rely on anything.
