The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is establishing a specific listing and DEA Controlled Substances Code Number (drug code) for three substances: N-(1-amino-3,3-dimethyl-1-oxobutan-2-yl)-1-butyl- 1H-indazole-3-carboxamide (also known as ADB-BUTINACA); 4-methyl-1- phenyl-2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)pentan-1-one (also known as [alpha]-PiHP or alpha-PiHP); and 2-(methylamino)-1-(3-methylphenyl)propan-1-one (also known as 3-MMC or 3-methylmethcathinone) in schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). Although ADB-BUTINACA, [alpha]-PiHP, and 3-MMC are not specifically listed in schedule I of the CSA with their own unique drug codes, they are schedule I controlled substances in the United States because they are positional isomers of AB-PINACA (controlled January 30, 2015), [alpha]-PHP (controlled July 18, 2019), and mephedrone (controlled as a hallucinogen July 9, 2012), respectively, each of which are schedule I hallucinogens. Therefore, DEA is simply amending the schedule I hallucinogenic substances list in its regulations to separately include ADB-BUTINACA, [alpha]-PiHP, and 3-MMC.

The Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration is issuing this temporary order to schedule six synthetic cannabinoids and their optical and geometric isomers, salts, and salts of isomers, whenever the existence of such isomers and salts is possible, in schedule I under the Controlled Substances Act. This action is based on a finding by the Administrator that the placement of these six substances in schedule I is necessary to avoid imminent hazard to the public safety. As a result of this order, the regulatory controls and administrative, civil, and criminal sanctions applicable to schedule I controlled substances on persons who handle (manufacture, distribute, reverse distribute, import, export, engage in research, conduct instructional activities or chemical analysis with, or possess) or propose to handle these six specified controlled substances.
