More details to this question:
I would like to purchase and resell Yopo Seeds (Anadenathera peregrina) for the purpose of gardening exclusively. Anadenathera peregrina is a legal plant as far as I am aware (with the exception of Louisiana) but the seeds contain 5-MeO-DMT, DMT, and Bufotenine. All of these are Schedule I drugs. Is it illegal to own these seeds?

Most of the regulation, related to prohibited substances and the prosecution of individual that uses them, is in the Controlled Substance Act (CSA). However, note that a substance need not be listed as a controlled substance to be treated as a Schedule I substance for criminal prosecution. A controlled substance analog is a substance that is intended for human consumption and is structurally or pharmacologically substantially similar to or is represented as being similar to a Schedule I or Schedule II substance and is not an approved medication in the United States.
