No DEA movement toward loosening 5-MeO-DMT controls despite the coverage; posture reaffirmed if pressed.

The DEA (the US agency that enforces drug laws) shows no sign of making 5-MeO-DMT — the psychedelic compound found in toad venom — easier to access legally. In fact, high-profile stories about wealthy people misusing it give the DEA more reason to crack down, not loosen up. For people hoping legal access might come soon, this is a dead end for now.

Sensational celebrity misuse hardens, not softens, our position. Coverage of elites getting 'hooked' is an argument for enforcement, not access.
