DMT was made illegal throughout the world in 1971 with the creation of the United Nations Convention on Psychotropic Substances. Legality and enforcement of the law today usually depends on a government’s awareness of the existence of DMT. Plants that contain DMT are not illegal per se, but as soon as the DMT is extracted, it becomes an illicit substance. Additionally, if the compound is used as an ingredient in an ayahuasca brew, there are a few exceptions that have been granted to certain groups for religious purposes.
