4-AcO-DMT in Italy: not individually verified

Also known as: psilacetin

Not individually verified

We have not confirmed that 4-AcO-DMT specifically is scheduled in Italy, 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. The dossier searched the DPR 309/1990 tables and the ministerial amendments for 4-AcO-DMT, also written O-acetilpsilocina, and recorded that no terminal entry was sufficiently verified, so neither a controlled placement nor a clean negative can be stated for 4-AcO-DMT. What is missing is the scheduling bridge itself: whether an exact name entry exists in the current compilation, and whether any expressly extended family in the table text reaches it. Article 14 works by enumeration and there is no free standing analogue offence in Italy, so a related compound being listed would not settle this one. No further research was done for this cell, so it defers rather than guesses.

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

What Italy HAS confirmed for related substances

4-HO-METa related compound, not 4-AcO-DMT
Controlled. The Ministry of Health compilation of the DPR 309/1990 tables carries «4-HO-MET» as an operative entry, and the compilation places it in the Table I or II group without this cell choosing between the two, because the dossier does not. Article 14 of DPR 309/1990 is the provision that creates those enumerated tables and expressly includes the chemical variants stated in them, so salts, stereoisomers, preparations and medicinal table routing attach to 4-HO-MET only so far as the entry's own wording reaches. Resemblance is not a free standing analogue offence in Italian law, so a compound that merely looks like 4-HO-MET is outside the tables until a decree names it. Classification moves by ministerial decree published in the Gazzetta Ufficiale, and the consolidated compilation current on 18 September 2026 is what this answer rests on.
