SCHEDULE
Likely Analog
DOC is unscheduled in the United States. It is likely that it would be considered an analog (of DOB), in which case, sales for human consumption or possession with the intent to ingest could be prosecuted under the Federal Analogue Act though we are unaware of any such existing cases (3/05/06).

DOC is Schedule III in Canada, making it illegal to sell, buy, or possess without a license. It also would be controlled under the 2016 regulation that controlled a wide variety phenethylamines, adding "2C-phenethylamines and their salts, derivatives, isomers and salts of derivatives and isomers that correspond" to a broad definition that schedules anything with a 2,5-dimethoxyphenylethamine core. This includes most 2C-s, DOx, TMA, Aleph, NBOMes, NBOHs, NBF, bk-2-C-B, 2C-B-Fly, bromo-dragonfly, etc. See http://www.gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p2/2016/2016-05-04/html/sor-dors73-eng.php.
