For each US state that has acted, the controlled-substance schedule it assigns to substances that are NOT federally scheduled: xylazine and tianeptine — sourced from the state's own statute or administrative rule. Answers 'is tianeptine legal in [state]', 'is xylazine a controlled substance in [state]', and 'what schedule is tianeptine in [state]'. Control is entirely state-by-state, it is moving fast (states acted 2023–2026), and crucially the schedule is NOT the same everywhere: tianeptine is Schedule I in Florida, Georgia, Virginia, Minnesota, Delaware and Ohio but Schedule II in Tennessee, North Carolina and Nebraska, and xylazine is Schedule I in Florida, Schedule III in Delaware, Ohio, Nebraska and South Carolina, and Schedule IV in West Virginia. The only cross-state assemblies are a March-2024 PDF (LAPPA, xylazine only) and citation-free listicles. Kratom generally, 7-hydroxymitragynine (controlled federally by DEA temporary order from 2026, and at state level through kratom-product laws rather than schedules) and delta-8 are out of scope — seller sites cover them comprehensively. A state whose instrument cannot be confirmed on a fetched page is omitted, not guessed.

Provenance — what every record carries

Every record carries source (the URL the value was read from) and source_quote (a verbatim quote from that page stating it). A value you cannot check against its page is indistinguishable from an invented one; these can all be checked. Each record is also individually addressable on the canonical site at its url.

Facts are not copyrightable; what this dataset takes from each source is a fact plus a short attributed quote linking back to the page that states it.
