Is killing moles illegal?

As far as I know it isn't in most cases, but it could be in certain states. You should check if it is in your state. I have seen lots of people kill a mole in ohio, but it IS illegal to kill a mole if it is on the endangered species list, like the star nose mole.


Is possession of endogenous DMT illegal in the US?

The DEA usually does not limit, control, or prohibit the possession of certain animals or plants that contain endogenous, controlled compounds unless they are specifically prepared for use (i.e.- dried, cut, packaged, pulverized, etc). Examples of this are: Psilocybin and Psilocin found in Psilocybe mushrooms, LSA and related amides found in Morning Glories and similar plant species, and 5-methoxy-DMT, 5-OH-DMT (bufotenin), and N,N-DMT, some of which are found in mammals (including humans), plants, toads and certain types of fish. Consequently, preparations used by South American natives like ayahuasca brews and yopo, vilca, and virola snuffs (which contain either DMT and/or all or some of the DMT related compounds mentioned above) are illegal since they are processed for human consumption. Note that the term "processed for human consumption" could apply to merely crushing virola bark into a powder, the rationale being that pulverizing the bark means it is being prepared for insufflation. Conversely, the plant species these snuffs are derived from are not illegal if they are possessed in their natural state. In some cases the DEA has scheduled specific plant species b/c they contain certain alkaloids or terpenoids that are perceived as dangerous. This makes possessing or growing them strictly prohibited, even if one of these plants happen to grow wild on an individual's property. Examples of this are- the Cannabis' species, the Opium Poppy (although certain species like the California Poppy aren't illegal even though they contain similar alkaloids), Iboga, and the Coca plant.


Is it illegal to kill honey bees?

Honey bees are endangered so it's not a good idea to kill them. They generally don't cause any harm but can build their nests in awkward places. Bees are in serious decline so the best thing to do is call out a bee keeper as they can usually be removed quite safely and easily. In some countries and states honey bees are a protected species. Check with your local department of agriculture.
