question about esters and ethers

[nadir]

hey guys,
in the place where swim lives(EU), government just banned Banisteriopsis Caapi (according to 1961 UN drug policy)
so Banisteriopsis Caapi became schedule I (as well ass Kratom, Sally D, Ipomea Violacea and Argyreia Nervosa)
However, harmine and harmaline (as well as mitragynine and salvinorin A) has been put to schedule II.
my question is whether THH is an ester or ether of harmine/harmaline ?

EDIT:
what about dmt n-oxide? it isn't salt, but perhaps it could be dmt ether or ester?

Bloody hell!!! which EU country that is?

They're not - THH is a reduction product of harmine and harmaline. Harmine + 2 hydrogens makes harmaline, harmine + 4 hydrogens makes THH, harmaline + 2 hydrogens makes THH.

Strictly speaking they're different compounds so they may not be considered as "analogues" (in the eyes of the law, not a chemist that is)

It's not either. It's an oxide of dmt. The difference is the same as iron and rust's.
