U.S. FEDERAL LEGAL SUMMARY
MDAI
REGULATED
No
STATUS
Not Approved For
Human Consumption
SCHEDULE
Un-Scheduled
MDAI is uncontrolled in the United States under federal law. This means it is generally considered legal to buy, possess, and distribute (sell, trade or give). If sold as a supplement, sales must conform to U.S. supplement laws. If sold for consumption as a food or drug, sales are regulated by the FDA.

It is possible that it would be considered an analog in which case, sales for human consumption or possession with the intent to ingest could be prosecuted under the Federal Analogue Act or state analog acts.
