Legality · 4-AcO-DMT4-AcO-DMT in El Salvador: not individually verified
Also known as: psilacetin
Not individually verified
We have not confirmed that 4-AcO-DMT specifically is scheduled in El Salvador, 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 the Listado de sustancias estupefacientes, psicotropicos, precursores y agregados 2026, approved by Acuerdo SI.2026.03.20-01 of the Superintendencia de Regulacion Sanitaria, and the absence does not settle the row, because Article 2 of the Ley Reguladora de las Actividades Relativas a las Drogas, Decreto Legislativo 153 of 2 October 2003 does not stop at the lists: it also reaches, in its own words, substances that act on the central nervous system and whose misuse can cause physical or psychological dependence, and Article 3 letter f lets the health regulator prohibit a further substance. Whether either limb reaches this row was not settled from the documents read here. Psilocybin and psilocin are both printed, and this row is the acetylated ester of psilocin, which is not among the printed tryptamine entries.
Confirm directly with El Salvador’s national drug authority or your own embassy before you rely on anything.

Controlled under the Ley Reguladora de las Actividades Relativas a las Drogas, Decreto Legislativo 153 of 2 October 2003. DMT is printed in the Listado de sustancias estupefacientes, psicotropicos, precursores y agregados 2026, approved by Acuerdo SI.2026.03.20-01 of the Superintendencia de Regulacion Sanitaria as «Dimetiltriptamina (DMT)», entry 4, CAS 61-50-7, at Parte B, Seccion I. Psicotropicos incluidos en la Lista I de la Convencion de 1971. Article 2 makes a droga any substance specified as such in the conventions El Salvador has ratified, and Article 3 prohibits every activity relating to the narcotic, depressant, stimulant, hallucinogen and cannabis categories, so a printed convention entry is reached by the definition itself. The entry is the free base under its chemical name, which is what distinguishes this row from the botanical preparations that contain it.

Psilocybin is printed in the Listado de sustancias estupefacientes, psicotropicos, precursores y agregados 2026, approved by Acuerdo SI.2026.03.20-01 of the Superintendencia de Regulacion Sanitaria as «Psilocibina», entry 27, CAS 520-52-5, at Parte B, Seccion I. Psicotropicos incluidos en la Lista I de la Convencion de 1971. Article 2 makes a droga any substance specified as such in the conventions El Salvador has ratified, and Article 3 prohibits every activity relating to the narcotic, depressant, stimulant, hallucinogen and cannabis categories, so a printed convention entry is reached by the definition itself. Both the phosphate ester and the free alkaloid carry their own entries here, Psilocibina at n.o 27 and Psilocina at n.o 26, so a mushroom preparation meets a named entry whichever of the two a laboratory reports.
