United Kingdom (U.K., UK, England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Britain) #
AMT was added to Scheule 1 as of January 15th, 2015, by changing the definition of tryptamine substitions. See http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2014/3277/introduction/made. Previously AMT was not controlled in Britain and does not fall under the substituted tryptamine rule because its 'substitution' is not on the nitrogen. See the 2001 Misuse of Drugs Act : Schedule 1, regulation 3 (as of Mar 2004). AMT is still (2015) not listed in the UK laws, but is now controlled as a substituted tryptamine under Schedule 1 (not the same as USA Schedule I). (last updated Jan 3, 2015)
