Mixture

Pink Cocaine / Tusi

This information is being prepared and will be published after medical review.

A pink-dyed street mixture — usually ketamine + MDMA, and rarely 2C-B. See the full pink cocaine guide.

Overview

"Pink cocaine" — also called tusi, tucibi, or tusibi — is not a single substance but a pink-dyed powder mixture sold under a borrowed name. Laboratory analysis of seized samples most often identifies a combination of ketamine and MDMA, sometimes with caffeine or other additives, and only rarely any 2C-B (the compound the name is loosely derived from). The pink dye is cosmetic and says nothing about the contents.

Chemistry & mechanism of action

Because it is a variable mixture, tusi has no single mechanism of action; its effects come from whatever drugs a given batch actually contains. Where ketamine is present it acts mainly as an NMDA-receptor antagonist (a dissociative); where MDMA is present it increases release of serotonin and other monoamines. Two samples sold as the same thing can therefore behave very differently.

Effects

Reported effects depend entirely on the mixture and dose, and are inherently unpredictable. A batch weighted toward MDMA tends to feel stimulating; one weighted toward ketamine tends to feel sedating and dissociative. The core hazard is that the user cannot know which they are taking, or how much.

Risks & harms

The central risk of tusi is the unknown: unknown ingredients and unknown doses make accidental overdose and dangerous drug combinations more likely. Combining a stimulant (MDMA) with a dissociative (ketamine), or either with alcohol, raises the load on the heart and the risk of overheating, dehydration, and loss of consciousness. Samples have also been found adulterated with other substances.

Legal status (US)

There is no legal form of "pink cocaine." Its common constituents are controlled substances in the United States — MDMA and 2C-B are Schedule I, and ketamine is Schedule III — so manufacture, sale, and possession of the mixture are illegal regardless of the exact recipe.

International

Japan

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — Japan controls ketamine as a narcotic (麻薬) under the Narcotics and Psychotropics Control Act and prohibits MDMA, and the Act reaches any preparation containing a controlled substance. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled detected component.
Consequences if caught: Possession, import and supply are criminal narcotics offences carrying imprisonment, charged by reference to whichever constituent (narcotic ketamine or prohibited MDMA) is detected.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of the mixture; ketamine is a controlled medical narcotic administered under strict control, while MDMA has no marketed medical use.
Documentation: Sold as an unregulated party powder; because composition varies batch to batch, purchasers and travellers cannot know its constituents, so legal exposure under the Narcotics Control Act is unknowable at purchase.

Singapore

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — both MDMA and ketamine are controlled drugs under the Misuse of Drugs Act, which reaches any preparation containing a controlled drug. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled detected component; notably, neither ketamine nor MDMA is listed in the capital Second Schedule, so tusi is not death-eligible here.
Consequences if caught: Possession, consumption and trafficking are serious offences carrying imprisonment and caning, and trafficking of a threshold amount triggers a statutory presumption — but because neither constituent is a Second-Schedule capital drug, the mandatory death penalty does not apply.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of the mixture; ketamine is a controlled medicine, while MDMA has no marketed medical use.
Documentation: Sold as a party powder of unknown makeup; because composition varies batch to batch, buyers and travellers cannot know its constituents, so heavy legal exposure (imprisonment and caning) under the Misuse of Drugs Act is unknowable at purchase.

United Arab Emirates

Legal status: Not confirmed — verify with UAE MOHAP / your embassy
Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named by a reachable UAE source. Zero-tolerance regime under Federal Decree-Law No. 30 of 2021: possessing, importing, or transporting narcotics/psychotropics outside regulated medical use is criminalised, and 'I didn't know' is not a defense. First-time possession starts at 3 months' imprisonment plus a AED 20,000 fine, and can carry detention, deportation, and a travel ban.
If prescribed / medical: Not confirmed — verify with MOHAP / your embassy before travel.
Documentation: MOHAP import permit (apply ~2 weeks before travel) + the prescription + an attested medical report + original packaging; declare at customs. Without a permit but with a prescription and medical report you must still declare at customs — officers may allow entry or confiscate the medicine and detain you.

China

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — China controls ketamine (氯胺酮) as a Category I psychotropic substance and MDMA as a controlled narcotic, and the Criminal Law reaches any mixture containing a controlled drug. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled component; ketamine is itself capital-eligible at high quantity (≥500 g under the 2016 SPC Drug Crimes Interpretation), so tusi carries capital exposure through either constituent.
Consequences if caught: Trafficking is sentenced under Criminal Law art. 347 with quantity-graded penalties up to death; ketamine at or above roughly 500 g is death-eligible, and an MDMA-containing sample likewise engages capital thresholds.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of the mixture; ketamine is a Category I psychotropic medicine used as an anaesthetic under strict control, while MDMA has no accepted medical use.
Documentation: Sold as a party powder of unknown makeup; because the blend varies batch to batch, buyers cannot know the quantity or identity of the death-eligible constituent present, so capital-level legal exposure is unknowable at purchase.

Russia

Legal status: Not confirmed — verify with Russian embassy / Federal Customs Service
Consequences if caught: Under Decree 681 (30 June 1998): Schedule I substances are fully banned (not available even in Russian pharmacies); Schedules II and III have limited circulation and are allowed only with a Russian prescription. This specific substance's schedule was not confirmed by a reachable source. Possession without intent to supply is criminalised, and 'large'/'extra-large' thresholds are set low — measured by the total weight of the mixture, not the pure substance. For example, more than 0.5 g of heroin, opium, or desomorphine without intent to supply can bring up to 3 years' incarceration.
If prescribed / medical: Allowed only with a Russian prescription if in Schedule II/III; fully banned if Schedule I. Verify with the Russian embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry the original prescription/medical report stating your condition, why the drug is needed, the drug name, the quantity, and that it is for personal use, plus a sworn Russian translation. You cannot carry medication for another person. On arrival use the red corridor and declare it in box 3.6 of the Passenger Customs Declaration; failing to declare can bring administrative or criminal liability.

Thailand

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — Thailand prohibits MDMA as a Narcotics Category 1 substance with no accepted medical use while ketamine is a Schedule II psychotropic, and the Narcotics Code reaches any preparation containing a controlled substance. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled component, so an MDMA-containing tusi sample is a Category 1 offence.
Consequences if caught: An MDMA-positive mixture is a Category 1 narcotics offence (serious imprisonment and fines); a ketamine-only mixture is a psychotropic offence carrying lesser penalties.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of the mixture; ketamine is a Schedule II psychotropic medicine, whereas MDMA is a Category 1 narcotic with no accepted medical use.
Documentation: Sold as a party powder of unknown makeup; because composition varies batch to batch, buyers cannot know whether Category 1 MDMA is present, so legal exposure is unknowable at purchase.

Indonesia

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — Indonesia lists MDMA as a Golongan I (Category I) narcotic with no therapeutic use under Narcotics Law No. 35 of 2009 while ketamine is a non-narcotic controlled medicine, and the law reaches any preparation containing a narcotic. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled component, so an MDMA-containing tusi sample carries Golongan I capital exposure.
Consequences if caught: An MDMA-positive mixture is a Category I narcotics offence where large-scale trafficking is death-eligible under Law 35/2009; a ketamine-only mixture is a controlled-medicine offence carrying lesser penalties.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of the mixture; ketamine is a controlled medicine, whereas MDMA is a Golongan I narcotic with no therapeutic use.
Documentation: Sold as a party powder of unknown makeup; because the blend varies batch to batch, buyers cannot know whether death-eligible MDMA is present, so capital-level legal exposure is unknowable at purchase.

Saudi Arabia

Legal status: Not confirmed — verify with the SFDA / your embassy
Consequences if caught: Saudi Arabia prohibits all recreational drugs. Trafficking, smuggling, or importing for promotion carries the death penalty (Art. 37, Royal Decree M/39 of 1426H/2005); a court may reduce the sentence to no less than 15 years' imprisonment plus 50 lashes and a fine of no less than 100,000 SAR. Personal-use possession carries 6 months to 2 years' imprisonment (Art. 41), plus possible flogging, fines, and — for foreigners — deportation. Foreign embassies have no standing in Saudi courts. This specific substance is not individually named in the primary source retrieved; its scheduling under the Anti-Narcotics Law was not confirmed — verify with the SFDA / your embassy.
If prescribed / medical: Controlled prescription medicines (opioids, benzodiazepines, some stimulants) require an SFDA clearance permit obtained before travel. Verify this substance's status with the SFDA / your embassy.
Documentation: An SFDA electronic clearance permit obtained before travel via the Controlled Drugs System; prescription + medical report + ID, translated into Arabic and less than 6 months old; import limited to a one-month supply or the duration of stay; declare at customs (inspections are thorough).

Malaysia

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — Malaysia lists MDMA as a dangerous drug under the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 while ketamine is a psychotropic substance under the Poisons Act 1952 (not a scheduled dangerous drug), and drug law reaches any preparation containing a controlled substance. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled component, so an MDMA-containing tusi sample carries the Dangerous Drugs Act's capital trafficking exposure.
Consequences if caught: An MDMA-positive mixture is a dangerous-drug offence where trafficking above the statutory threshold engages s.39B (death or life imprisonment plus caning); a ketamine-only mixture is a lesser Poisons Act psychotropic offence.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of the mixture; ketamine is a Poisons Act psychotropic medicine, whereas MDMA is a dangerous drug with no accepted medical use.
Documentation: Sold as a party powder of unknown makeup; because the blend varies batch to batch, buyers cannot know whether death-eligible MDMA is present, so capital-level legal exposure is unknowable at purchase.

United Kingdom

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable street mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA, often caffeine, rarely any real 2C-B) and is prosecuted through its constituents — the UK controls MDMA as a Class A drug and ketamine as a Class B drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, and the Act reaches any preparation or product containing a controlled drug. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled component detected, so an MDMA-containing tusi sample is treated as Class A.
Consequences if caught: Penalties track the worst constituent: an MDMA-positive mixture is Class A (possession up to 7 years, supply/production up to life); a ketamine-only mixture is Class B (possession up to 5 years, supply up to 14 years).
If prescribed / medical: There is no lawful supply of pink cocaine; of its usual constituents only ketamine is a licensed medicine (Schedule 2 anaesthetic, prescription-only), while MDMA has no marketed medical use.
Documentation: Sold as a party powder with no standard recipe; because composition varies batch to batch, a buyer cannot know which controlled drug is present, so legal exposure is unknowable at purchase and any sample can be charged at its most-serious constituent (typically Class A MDMA).

Canada

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — Canada lists ketamine in Schedule I and MDMA in Schedule III of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA), which reaches any product containing a controlled substance. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled detected component.
Consequences if caught: Possession and trafficking are offences under the CDSA, with the applicable schedule and penalty set by whichever constituent is detected (ketamine Schedule I carrying the heavier maximums).
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of the mixture; ketamine is a regulated Schedule I medicine used as an anaesthetic, while MDMA has no marketed medical use.
Documentation: Sold as an unregulated party powder; because the makeup varies batch to batch, purchasers cannot know its constituents, so legal exposure under the CDSA is unknowable at purchase.

Australia

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — MDMA is a prohibited illicit drug whose importation is a criminal offence, while ketamine is a Schedule 8 controlled-drug medicine under the Poisons Standard, enforced through State/Territory drug laws that reach any admixture containing a controlled drug. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled detected component.
Consequences if caught: An MDMA-positive mixture is an illicit-drug offence (possession, supply and importation criminal under State law and the Customs Act); ketamine outside medical channels is a controlled-drug offence.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of street tusi; ketamine is a Schedule 8 prescribed anaesthetic and MDMA may only be supplied by an Authorised Prescriber for PTSD under the 2023 TGA scheme — neither authorises the street mixture.
Documentation: Sold as an unregulated party powder; because composition varies batch to batch, buyers cannot know its constituents, so legal exposure (and importation risk) is unknowable at purchase.

Germany

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — Germany lists MDMA as an Annex I (non-tradable) narcotic under the Narcotic Drugs Act (BtMG) while ketamine is a prescription-only medicine under the Arzneimittelgesetz and is not in any BtMG Anlage, and the BtMG reaches any preparation containing a listed substance. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled component, so an MDMA-containing tusi sample is a BtMG narcotic offence.
Consequences if caught: An MDMA-positive mixture is a BtMG offence (possession/acquisition punishable, trafficking a felony); a ketamine-only mixture engages medicines-law rather than the narcotics regime.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of the mixture exists; ketamine is a legitimate prescribed anaesthetic, whereas MDMA is an Annex I substance that is non-prescribable.
Documentation: Marketed as a nightlife powder of unknown makeup; because the composition varies batch to batch, buyers and travellers cannot know whether MDMA is present, making legal exposure unknowable at purchase.

France

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — France classifies both MDMA and ketamine as stupéfiants under the Public Health Code (Code de la santé publique), and the narcotics regime reaches any preparation containing a stupéfiant. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled detected component, both of which are narcotics here.
Consequences if caught: Treated as a stupéfiant regardless of blend: personal use up to 1 year imprisonment (or the amende forfaitaire), trafficking up to 10 years or more.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of the mixture; ketamine is a hospital anaesthetic dispensed under narcotics rules, while MDMA has no authorised medical use.
Documentation: Sold as an unregulated party powder; because its makeup varies batch to batch, purchasers cannot know its exact constituents, so legal exposure to the stupéfiants regime is unknowable at purchase.

Netherlands

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — the Netherlands lists MDMA as a List I 'hard drug' under the Opium Act (Opiumwet) while ketamine is a prescription-only medicine under the Geneesmiddelenwet and is not on Opium Act List I/II, and the Act reaches any preparation containing a listed drug. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled component, so an MDMA-containing tusi sample is a List I offence.
Consequences if caught: An MDMA-positive mixture is a List I hard-drug offence (possession and supply criminal — tolerance policy does not apply to hard drugs); a ketamine-only mixture engages medicines law.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of the mixture; ketamine is a legitimate prescribed medicine, whereas MDMA is a prohibited List I hard drug.
Documentation: Sold as a party powder of unknown makeup; because composition varies batch to batch, buyers cannot know whether List I MDMA is present, so legal exposure is unknowable at purchase.

Egypt

Legal status: Not confirmed — verify with Egypt's authorities (Anti-Narcotics Law No. 182/1960) / your embassy
Consequences if caught: EGYPT IS A DEATH-PENALTY COUNTRY for drug trafficking. This specific substance was not named in the reachable Egyptian statute (Anti-Narcotics Law No. 182/1960, Arts 33–38, as amended) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. Note: synthetic cannabinoids (e.g. 'Voodoo' 2014; 'Strox'/AB-FUBINACA by Act 440/2018) have been added to Schedule 1 by amendment. Art 33: DEATH PENALTY plus a fine of 100,000–500,000 LE for unlicensed import/export, manufacture with intent to traffic, or cultivating/trading Schedule 5 plants (including cannabis). Art 34: death OR life hard labour plus a fine for possession/purchase/sale with intent to traffic. Art 38(1): possession/acquisition WITHOUT trafficking or personal-use intent = 3–10 years hard labour plus a fine of 50,000–200,000 LE. The law applies equally to foreigners, with no minimum-quantity threshold — mere presence of the substance triggers prosecution.
If prescribed / medical: Schedule 1 and Schedule 3(a,b,d) medicines (e.g. amphetamine/Adderall, methylphenidate/Ritalin, methadone) cannot be imported even with a foreign prescription; verify any controlled medicine before travel (see documentation).

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — Switzerland prohibits MDMA as a controlled narcotic under the Narcotics Act (BetmG, SR 812.121) while ketamine is a controlled narcotic-medicine listed in Verzeichnis b, and the Act reaches any preparation containing a listed substance. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled component, so an MDMA-containing tusi sample is a prohibited-narcotic offence.
Consequences if caught: An MDMA-positive mixture is a prohibited narcotic (production, import and sale criminal under Arts 19/19a BetmG); ketamine is a controlled medicine whose non-medical supply is likewise an offence.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of the mixture; ketamine is an authorised medicine dispensed on a narcotics prescription, whereas MDMA is a prohibited narcotic.
Documentation: Sold as a party powder of unknown composition; because the blend varies batch to batch, buyers cannot know whether prohibited MDMA is present, so legal exposure is unknowable at purchase.

Czechia

Legal status: Not confirmed — verify with Czechia's authorities (Criminal Code 40/2009 / Act 167/1998) / your embassy
Consequences if caught: In Czechia, personal possession of not more than a 'small amount' is a MISDEMEANOUR (a fine up to CZK 15,000), not a crime — and this threshold-decriminalisation applies to ALL drugs, not just cannabis. This specific substance was not given a 'greater than small' threshold in the reachable Czech sources (Criminal Code 40/2009 / Supreme Court thresholds) — verify before travel. Above the threshold: personal-use possession (§284) carries up to 1 year for cannabis and up to 2 years for other drugs; cultivation (§285) 6 months to 5 years; trafficking or production (§283) 1–10 years, up to 18 years in aggravated cases.
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry a Schengen Article 75 certificate in original packaging (see documentation).
Documentation: Schengen travel: carry prescribed narcotics with a Schengen Article 75 certificate in original packaging. Medical cannabis has been legal on prescription since 2013.

Uruguay

Legal status: Not confirmed — verify with Uruguay's IRCCA / authorities (Decree-Law 14.294) / your embassy
Consequences if caught: Under Decree-Law 14.294 (Art 31), possession of a 'reasonable quantity exclusively for personal consumption' is NOT criminalised — a judge decides, with no fixed thresholds (except 40 g for cannabis). Production and trafficking (Arts 30/31) carry 20 months to 10 years. This specific substance was not individually named in the reachable Uruguayan sources (Decree-Law 14.294 / Law 19.172) — verify before travel.
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and original packaging and declare it (see documentation).
Documentation: Carry a prescription and original packaging for any controlled medicine, and declare it. Note: legal cannabis access is for registered Uruguayan citizens/permanent residents only — see the cannabis cell.

Argentina

Legal status: Not confirmed — status not individually verified; confirm with Argentina's authorities (Law 23.737) / your embassy
Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Argentine sources (Law 23.737; CSJN 'Arriola' 2009) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. Possession of a personal-use quantity (Art 14) carries 1 month–2 years. The 2009 Supreme Court "Arriola" ruling held Art 14's penalty unconstitutional for consumption in private that harms no one else (Constitution Art 19) — BUT that ruling binds only its own case: lower courts vary, police still arrest, and there is NO fixed gram threshold. DISAMBIGUATION: decriminalized is NOT legalized — sale and purchase remain criminal, and Arriola prevents a conviction, not an arrest. Trafficking (Law 23.737 Art 5) — production, import, export, sale or supply — carries 4–15 years.
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and original packaging and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).
Documentation: Medical cannabis is legal for registered patients only; recreational sale and purchase remain criminal offences. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and original packaging and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

Colombia

Legal status: Not confirmed — status not individually verified; confirm with Colombia's authorities (Law 30/1986) / your embassy
Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Colombian sources (Law 30/1986; C-221/1994; C-491/2012) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. Under Constitutional Court ruling C-221/1994 (reaffirmed by C-491/2012), possession of a personal DOSIS MÍNIMA is not a crime (Constitution Art 16, free development of personality). Trafficking and production remain criminal offences. DISAMBIGUATION: decriminalized is NOT legal — sale remains criminal, and foreigners report police searches and shakedowns even within the legal personal dose.
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).
Documentation: Medical cannabis and home cultivation are legal under Law 1787/2016; recreational sale remains criminal. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

Costa Rica

Legal status: Not confirmed — status not individually verified; confirm with Costa Rica's Ministry of Health (Law 8204) / your embassy
Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Costa Rican sources (Law 8204; General Health Law Arts 28 & 127) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. Personal consumption is PROHIBITED BUT NOT PENALIZED — it is not formally decriminalized ('prohibited but no punishment'), and NO statutory personal-dose quantity exists. (Police informally treat roughly 1–8 g as personal — this is ENFORCEMENT PRACTICE, not a legal threshold.) Trafficking, cultivation and sale (Law 8204 Art 58) carry 8–15 years (up to 20).
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).
Documentation: Medical cannabis is dispensed by prescription through Costa Rican pharmacies ONLY; foreign prescriptions are not valid. Confirm any controlled medicine with your embassy before travel.

Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Dominican sources (Law 50-88, as amended) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. Specific statutory gram tiers are defined only for cocaine (Art 5) and cannabis (Art 6). Trafficking (Arts 58/59) carries up to 5–20 years. The US Embassy warns of zero-tolerance enforcement: small quantities can mean arrest, and US cannabis/medical cards are not recognized.
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).
Documentation: There is no medical-cannabis programme; CBD is treated the same as THC, and US cannabis or medical-marijuana cards are not recognized. The US Embassy warns of zero-tolerance enforcement — even small quantities can lead to arrest.

Jamaica

Legal status: Not confirmed — status not individually verified; confirm with Jamaica's Ministry of Justice / your embassy
Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Jamaican source (Dangerous Drugs (Amendment) Act 2015) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. The 2015 reform applies ONLY to cannabis; other controlled drugs remain fully illegal under the Dangerous Drugs Act.
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).
Documentation: Visitors may obtain a temporary medical cannabis permit (self-declared) at licensed dispensaries to possess up to 2 oz during their stay. Public smoking is prohibited everywhere including beaches, and taking ganja out of the country is a serious criminal offence regardless of amount.

Ireland

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — Ireland controls MDMA as a scheduled controlled drug and ketamine as a Schedule 3 controlled drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1977 (Misuse of Drugs Regulations 2017), and the Act reaches any preparation containing a controlled drug. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled detected component.
Consequences if caught: Possession is criminal (Sec 3, up to 7 years on indictment); supply carries up to life imprisonment (Sec 15), applied by reference to whichever constituent is detected.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of the mixture; ketamine is a Schedule 3 prescribed medicine, while MDMA has no marketed medical use.
Documentation: Sold as an unregulated party powder; because the makeup varies batch to batch, purchasers cannot know its constituents, so legal exposure under the Misuse of Drugs Act is unknowable at purchase.

Austria

Legal status: Not confirmed — status not individually verified; confirm with Austria's authorities (Suchtmittelgesetz) / your embassy
Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Austrian sources (SMG; Suchtgift-Grenzmengenverordnung) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. DISAMBIGUATION: depenalized, NOT legalized. There is NO legal minimum quantity — possession of any amount for personal use is punishable (§27, up to 6 months prison or a fine). BUT under "Therapie statt Strafe" (§35) small-quantity personal use is typically provisionally suspended from prosecution (1–2 year probation) if the person accepts counselling/treatment. Consumption itself is not criminalized, but the possession that precedes it is. Above the Grenzmenge (threshold quantity) the offence becomes dealing/trafficking under §§28/28a — up to 1–3 years, escalating to 10–15 years for commercial or organized cases.
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and original packaging and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).
Documentation: Medical cannabis is limited to synthetic/pharmaceutical cannabinoids only (dronabinol, Sativex, nabilone) — no flower. There is no recreational legalization (the Constitutional Court upheld prohibition in July 2022). Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and original packaging and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

Poland

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — Poland controls MDMA and ketamine (Group II-P) under the Act on Counteracting Drug Addiction (2005), which reaches any preparation containing a controlled substance. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled detected component.
Consequences if caught: Possession is criminal (Art 62, up to 3 years; up to 10 for a considerable quantity), with a possible discontinuance under Art 62a for small amounts; charged on whichever constituent is detected.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of the mixture; ketamine is a Group II-P controlled medicine, whereas MDMA has no marketed medical use.
Documentation: Sold as a party powder of unknown makeup; because composition varies batch to batch, buyers cannot know its constituents, so legal exposure under the 2005 Act is unknowable at purchase.

Croatia

Legal status: Not confirmed — status not individually verified; confirm with Croatia's authorities (Drug Abuse Prevention Act) / your embassy
Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Croatian sources (DAPA / Official Gazette 107/2001) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. Since 1 January 2013, personal-use possession of ANY drug has been reclassified from a criminal offence (kazneno djelo) to a MISDEMEANOR (prekršaj): a fine of roughly €660–€2,650, possible short misdemeanor detention of up to 90 days, and confiscation — but no arrest for possession alone. There is NO statutory 'personal use' quantity; courts decide case-by-case. Cultivation or production without intent to sell is a criminal offence (6 months–5 years); sale, import, export or possession for sale is criminal (3–12 years), with aggravated cases (near schools, to children, organized) up to 15–20 years.
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).
Documentation: Medical cannabis has been legal since October 2015 (prescription, capped at 0.75 g THC per month, residents only). There is no statutory 'personal use' quantity — courts decide case-by-case. Note: claims of a 2026 reform introducing a 5 g cannabis threshold are NOT supported by any primary source and should be disregarded. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

Hungary

Legal status: Not confirmed — status not individually verified; confirm with Hungary's authorities (Act C of 2012, Criminal Code) / your embassy
Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Hungarian source (Act C of 2012, Chapter XVII) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. There is NO distinction between drug types — cannabis is treated identically to heroin for the basic offence. Possession of a 'small amount' carries up to 2 years, and consumption itself is a criminal offence (reintroduced 2013), up to 2 years. First-time small-amount offenders may avoid court via a 6-month treatment programme (elterelés/diversion); it is unavailable if caught twice within 2 years. [reported] A 2025 Criminal Code amendment narrowed diversion eligibility (only those who disclose the offence circumstances qualify) — confirm against the current statute. Above a 'small amount' the penalty is 1–5 years (basic), 2–8 years, escalating to 5–10 and 5–15 years or life for large quantities.
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).
Documentation: Hungary has NO medical-cannabis programme (one of the few in Europe); CBD is legal only below 0.2% THC. First-time small-amount offenders may avoid court via a 6-month treatment programme (elterelés/diversion), but not if caught twice within 2 years. [reported] A 2025 'war on drugs' (constitutional + Criminal Code amendments) is said to have NARROWED diversion eligibility — confirm against the current statute. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

Cambodia

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — Cambodia lists MDMA as a Group I narcotic and ketamine as a Table 3 psychotropic under the Law on Drug Control, which reaches any preparation containing a controlled substance. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled component, so an MDMA-containing tusi sample is a Group I offence.
Consequences if caught: An MDMA-positive mixture is a Group I narcotic offence (possession up to 10–20 years even without trafficking intent, trafficking up to life under Arts 40/45); a ketamine-only mixture is a psychotropic offence.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of the mixture; ketamine is a Table 3 controlled medicine, whereas MDMA is a Group I narcotic with no accepted medical use.
Documentation: Sold as a party powder of unknown makeup; because the blend varies batch to batch, buyers cannot know whether Group I MDMA is present, so legal exposure is unknowable at purchase.

Sri Lanka

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — ketamine is a controlled dangerous drug under the Poisons, Opium and Dangerous Drugs Ordinance (1929, as amended by Act No. 13 of 1984), and MDMA is likewise a controlled substance, the Ordinance reaching any preparation containing a dangerous drug. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled detected component.
Consequences if caught: Possession and trafficking are offences under the Ordinance, and trafficking above statutory thresholds is death-eligible in law — though Sri Lanka maintains a moratorium and imposes long imprisonment in practice — charged on whichever constituent is detected.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of the mixture; ketamine is a controlled medicine used as an anaesthetic, while MDMA has no accepted medical use.
Documentation: Sold as a party powder of unknown makeup; because the blend varies batch to batch, buyers cannot know its constituents, so heavy legal exposure under the Dangerous Drugs Ordinance is unknowable at purchase.

Morocco

Legal status: Not confirmed — status not individually verified; confirm with Morocco's Ministry of Justice (1974 Dahir) / your embassy
Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Moroccan sources (Dahir No. 1-73-282 of 1974; Law No. 13-21 of 2021) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. Morocco has no death penalty for drug offences.
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).
Documentation: Law No. 13-21 (2021) legalized cannabis only for licensed MEDICAL, PHARMACEUTICAL and INDUSTRIAL use in three Rif provinces (regulated by ANRAC) — it does NOT legalize recreational use and does not even mention consumers. Recreational use remains a crime under the 1974 Dahir, merely laxly enforced. Morocco has NO death penalty for drug offences. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

Qatar

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — Qatar prohibits MDMA as a narcotic under Law No. 9 of 1987 on Narcotic Drugs and Dangerous Psychotropic Substances (amended 2023), which reaches any preparation containing a controlled substance. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled component, so an MDMA-containing tusi sample carries capital exposure.
Consequences if caught: An MDMA-positive mixture is a prohibited-narcotic offence where trafficking or recidivism is punishable by death or life imprisonment under Law No. 9 of 1987; possession and use are separately criminal.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of the mixture; MDMA has no accepted medical or recreational use, and ketamine, where present, is a controlled medicine.
Documentation: Sold as a party powder of unknown makeup; because the blend varies batch to batch, buyers and travellers cannot know whether death-eligible MDMA is present, so capital-level legal exposure is unknowable at purchase.

Kuwait

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — Kuwait prohibits MDMA under its 2025 unified Anti-Drug Law (Amiri Decree-Law replacing Law No. 74 of 1983), which reaches any preparation containing a controlled substance. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled component, so an MDMA-containing tusi sample carries capital exposure.
Consequences if caught: An MDMA-positive mixture is a prohibited-narcotic offence where trafficking is punishable by death or life (Arts 42–43) with mandatory death in aggravated cases (Art 44); possession and use are separately criminal.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of the mixture; MDMA has no accepted medical or recreational use, and ketamine, where present, is a controlled medicine.
Documentation: Sold as a party powder of unknown makeup; because the blend varies batch to batch, buyers and travellers cannot know whether death-eligible MDMA is present, so capital-level legal exposure is unknowable at purchase.

Peru

Legal status: Not confirmed — status not individually verified; confirm with Peru's authorities (Penal Code Arts 299/296) / your embassy
Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Peruvian sources (Penal Code Art 299; Law 28002/2003) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. CRITICAL TWO-DRUG TRAP (Art 299 para 2): possessing TWO OR MORE drug types at the same time — even if each is below its own threshold — IS a crime and loses the non-punible protection. Trafficking (Art 296) carries 8–15 years; micro-commercialization (Art 298) 3–7 years. ENFORCEMENT: about 60% of drug detentions are for use/possession, police frequently treat possessors as traffickers, and up to 15 days' preventive detention can apply.
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).
Documentation: Personal-use possession of a SINGLE drug type below its Art 299 threshold is not a crime, but possessing two or more drug types at once IS a crime (loses the exemption). Medical cannabis is legal (Law 30681, 2017; regulated 2019) and hemp is regulated (Law 32195, 2024); traditional coca-leaf chewing is legal. Enforcement is heavy — about 60% of drug detentions are for use/possession and police frequently treat possessors as traffickers (up to 15 days' preventive detention). Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

Chile

Legal status: Not confirmed — status not individually verified; confirm with Chile's authorities (Law 20.000) / your embassy
Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Chilean sources (Law 20.000; Decree 867/2007) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. Under Law 20.000 Art 50, possession or consumption of a small quantity for exclusive and near-in-time personal use is NOT a crime — it is a misdemeanor/infraction (falta) punishable by a fine, drug-education, or community service, never prison. There is NO statutory gram threshold; a judge assesses 'personal use' case-by-case. Private personal use is permitted, but consumption in groups or public places is penalized (intent to supply is presumed unless personal use is proven). Cultivation (Art 8) is an offence unless justified as exclusive personal near-term use (the '6 plants' figure circulating is from reform BILLS, not current law). Micro-trafficking (Art 4) carries 541 days–5 years; trafficking (Art 3) 5–15 years. [contested] A 2025–26 reform tightening penalties and narrowing the personal-use defence is before the Constitutional Court (about 37 members appealed) — confirm the current status; the Art 50 framework above is the stable core.
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).
Documentation: Personal near-term use of a small quantity is a misdemeanor (falta) — a fine, drug-education, or community service, never prison; there is NO statutory gram threshold and a judge assesses 'personal use' case-by-case. Public or group consumption is penalized. Medical cannabis has been legal since 2015 (Supreme Decree 84; pharmacy, prescription). [contested] A 2025–26 reform tightening this is before the Constitutional Court — confirm the current status. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

New Zealand

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — New Zealand controls MDMA as a Class A and ketamine as a Class C controlled drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1975, which reaches any preparation containing a controlled drug. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled component, so an MDMA-containing tusi sample is treated as Class A.
Consequences if caught: Possession is an offence (Sec 7, with police discretion since 2019) and supply of a Class A constituent carries up to life imprisonment (Sec 6); penalty tracks whichever constituent is detected.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of the mixture; ketamine is a Class C prescribed medicine, while MDMA has no marketed medical use.
Documentation: Sold as a party powder of unknown makeup; because the blend varies batch to batch, buyers cannot know whether Class A MDMA is present, so legal exposure is unknowable at purchase.

Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited South African sources (Drugs and Drug Trafficking Act 140 of 1992; Prince 2018; CPPA Act 7 of 2024) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. The Prince ruling and the CPPA apply ONLY to cannabis. South Africa has no death penalty (abolished 1995).
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).
Documentation: Private adult cannabis use, possession and cultivation are lawful (Prince 2018 + Cannabis for Private Purposes Act 7 of 2024) with NO court-set quantity; all dealing and sale remain illegal and 'cannabis clubs' are a legal grey zone (the 2022 Haze Club ruling treated club cultivation-for-members as dealing). [draft] February 2026 regulations proposing quantity limits (around 600 g dried / about 5 plants) are NOT yet in force. Hard drugs are fully illegal under Act 140 of 1992 (dealing up to 25 years). South Africa has NO death penalty (abolished 1995). Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

Kenya

Legal status: Not confirmed — status not individually verified; confirm with Kenya's authorities (Narcotic Drugs Act No. 4 of 1994) / your embassy
Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Kenyan sources (Act No. 4 of 1994, as amended 2022) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. The 2022 amendment added tiered quantity penalties: 1–100 g of narcotics carries a minimum 30,000,000 KSh fine plus at least 30 years; more than 100 g a minimum 50,000,000 KSh fine plus up to 50 years. Kenya has NO death penalty for drug offences (maximum is life).
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).
Documentation: Kenya has a strict drug regime under the Narcotic Drugs Act No. 4 of 1994 (Cap 245, amended 2022) with NO general personal-use decriminalization. The 2022 amendment added tiered quantity penalties: 1–100 g of narcotics → a minimum 30,000,000 KSh fine plus at least 30 years; more than 100 g → a minimum 50,000,000 KSh fine plus up to 50 years. Khat (miraa/muguka) is LEGAL — the 2022 amendment exempts cathinone/cathine when contained in khat, a major cash crop. Kenya has NO death penalty (maximum is life).

Legal status: Not confirmed — status not individually verified; confirm with Belgium's authorities (Drug Law of 24 February 1921) / your embassy
Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Belgian sources (Drug Law of 24 February 1921, as amended) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. The 3 g cannabis tolerance applies ONLY to cannabis; other drugs have no tolerance threshold and possession is criminal.
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).
Documentation: Cannabis remains ILLEGAL — adult (18+) possession of up to 3 g or one female plant is the lowest prosecution priority (a simplified police report, in practice a €120–200 fine, no arrest absent aggravating circumstances), but this is tolerance/depenalization, NOT decriminalization or legalization. Aggravating circumstances or more than 3 g trigger criminal prosecution; for minors all cannabis possession is always criminal. Medical cannabis means authorized cannabis-based medicines only (e.g. Sativex) by prescription plus pharmacist CBD preparations — no flower. Importing cannabis (even from the Netherlands) is a separate, more serious offence. [recommendation] An April 2024 parliamentary report recommended a new cannabis framework — not law. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

Sweden

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — both MDMA and ketamine are scheduled narcotics (narkotika) under the Narcotic Drugs Punishment Act (1968:64), which reaches any preparation containing a listed narcotic. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled detected component under Sweden's zero-tolerance regime.
Consequences if caught: Zero tolerance: possession and even consumption are criminal; a minor offence draws day-fines and a criminal record, larger quantities imprisonment, charged on whichever constituent is detected.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of the mixture; ketamine is a scheduled medicine used under medical control, while MDMA has no marketed medical use.
Documentation: Sold as an unregulated party powder; because the makeup varies batch to batch, purchasers cannot know its constituents, so legal exposure under the zero-tolerance narcotics law is unknowable at purchase.

Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Norwegian sources (Penal Code §231; HR-2022-731/732/733-A) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. Under the Penal Code (2005) §231 and the Medicines Act §31, possession and use of drugs are a CRIMINAL offence for everyone. After the April 2022 Supreme Court rulings (HR-2022-731/732/733-A) and the Attorney General's guidelines (18 May 2022), persons with a SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER (drug-dependent) are no longer punished for personal use or possession of small amounts — but this is court-practice DEPENALIZATION for that group ONLY, NOT decriminalization. RECREATIONAL (non-dependent) users are STILL punished: a small amount draws a fine (the serious kind, which appears on the criminal record), though young first-timers are often diverted to supervised drug testing. The 2021 broad-decriminalization reform ('From Punishment to Help') was REJECTED by Parliament in June 2021. Supply and trafficking are serious offences (up to 10 years, more when aggravated).
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).
Documentation: Possession and use are criminal for everyone (Penal Code §231 + Medicines Act §31). Since the April 2022 Supreme Court rulings and Attorney General guidelines, drug-dependent persons are not punished for personal use/possession of small amounts (depenalization for that group only, NOT decriminalization); recreational (non-dependent) users are still fined (a record-bearing fine), and the 2021 broad-decriminalization reform ('From Punishment to Help') was rejected by Parliament in June 2021. Personal-use guidance amounts are about 15 g cannabis and about 5 g for heroin, amphetamine and cocaine. Medical cannabis is limited and requires special approval.

Possession and use are criminal; a small personal amount (up to ~9.9 g cannabis) draws a fixed fine (~DKK 2,000 / €70 first offence) via a simplified penalty notice with no court, but it remains a criminal offence that leaves a record (a warning is possible for drug-dependent persons). Penalties run up to 2 years under the Euphoriants Act; serious/large-scale trafficking (e.g. ≥10 kg) under Criminal Code §191, up to 16 years. A medical cannabis programme has been PERMANENT since 1 January 2026 (prescription, licensed pharmacies); CBD ≤0.2% THC sits outside the euphoriant rules but is often regulated as a medicine. OUTDATED-REPUTATION WARNING: the Christiania/Pusher Street open cannabis market was DISMANTLED in April 2024 — it is NOT a legal or tolerated market, and buying there carries the same (or, in designated zones, doubled) penalties. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

Finland

Legal status: Not confirmed — status not individually verified; confirm with Finland's authorities (Narcotics Act 373/2008) / your embassy
Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Finnish sources (Narcotics Act 373/2008; Criminal Code Ch 50) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. Under the Narcotics Act (373/2008) §5 and Criminal Code Chapter 50, use and possession are criminal. Unlawful use of narcotics (Ch 50 §2a) — personal use or a small amount — carries a fine or up to 6 months, in practice summary income-based day-fines (≤10 g hashish or ≤15 g cannabis ≈ 10–20 day-fines, with no court unless the defendant requests one). A narcotics offence (Ch 50 §1) carries a fine or up to 2 years; an aggravated narcotics offence (Ch 50 §2) up to 10 years. There is NO soft/hard distinction (cannabis is judged most leniently only by practice, not statute). Punishment may be WAIVED for an insignificant amount or if the offender accepts treatment.
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).
Documentation: Use and possession are criminal under the Narcotics Act 373/2008 and Criminal Code Chapter 50; a small personal amount is handled by summary income-based day-fines (≤10 g hashish or ≤15 g cannabis ≈ 10–20 day-fines, with no court unless the defendant requests one), with NO soft/hard distinction. Punishment may be waived for an insignificant amount or if the offender accepts treatment. Medical use is limited (Sativex by special licence via Fimea). A 2019–2020 citizens' initiative to decriminalize personal use/possession/small cultivation was processed by Parliament and NOT enacted. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

Bolivia

Legal status: Not confirmed — status not individually verified; confirm with Bolivia's authorities (Law 1008 of 1988) / your embassy
Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Bolivian sources (Law 1008 of 1988; Constitution Art 384) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. The Constitution Art 384 coca-leaf carve-out applies ONLY to the coca leaf in its natural state and to no other substance. Personal-use possession of a 'minimal quantity' is directed to treatment or education rather than prison (Art 49), with NO fixed statutory gram threshold.
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).
Documentation: Constitution Art 384 protects the coca leaf in its natural state as cultural heritage and a factor of social cohesion — 'in its natural state it is not a narcotic' — with legal cultivation delimited to authorized zones (the Yungas); traditional coca chewing is legal, and Bolivia withdrew from and re-acceded to the 1961 Single Convention specifically to preserve it. Cocaine, the processed drug, is a DIFFERENT thing: it is controlled and illegal, and the coca carve-out does NOT extend to cocaine. Cannabis, heroin, methamphetamine, MDMA and LSD are controlled and illegal with no carve-out. Personal-use possession of a 'minimal quantity' is directed to treatment or education rather than prison (Law 1008 Art 49), but there is NO fixed statutory gram threshold — a two-expert assessment determines the minimum. Cultivation outside authorized coca zones (Art 46) draws about 1–2 years, manufacture (Art 47) 5–15 years, and trafficking (Art 48) 10–25 years. Bolivia has NO death penalty for drugs. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

Ecuador

Legal status: Not confirmed — status not individually verified; confirm with Ecuador's authorities (COIP; Constitution Art 364) / your embassy
Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Ecuadorian sources (COIP Arts 220/228; Constitution Art 364; the repealed CONSEP table) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. Personal-use possession is non-punishable in Ecuador (Constitution Art 364 treats consumption as a public-health matter and bars criminalizing consumers; the COIP confirms personal-use possession is not punishable, and CNJ Resolution 14-2023 confirmed this remains fully in force). CRITICAL: the former CONSEP quantity table was [repealed] by Executive Decree No. 28 on 24 November 2023 — the old bright-line thresholds NO LONGER EXIST, there is now NO defined personal-use quantity, and trafficking intent is assessed case-by-case (a legal grey area). Trafficking is tiered (COIP Art 220): minimum 3–5 years, medium 5–7, high 19–22, large 22–26.
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).
Documentation: Personal-use possession is NON-PUNISHABLE: Constitution Art 364 treats consumption as a public-health matter and bars criminalizing consumers, and the COIP confirms personal-use possession is not punishable (CNJ Resolution 14-2023 confirmed this remains fully in force). CRITICAL: the former CONSEP quantity table (Resolution 001-CONSEP-CO-2013 — about 10 g cannabis, 1 g cocaine, 0.1 g heroin, 0.015 g MDMA) was [repealed] by Executive Decree No. 28 on 24 November 2023; those gram thresholds NO LONGER EXIST. There is now NO defined personal-use quantity — trafficking intent is assessed case-by-case (a legal grey area). Trafficking is tiered (COIP Art 220): minimum 3–5 years, medium 5–7, high 19–22, large 22–26. Medical cannabis is legal (2019 Assembly vote; products under 1% THC via pharmacy). [contested] A REDCAN citizen cannabis-regulation initiative was pending in the National Assembly in 2025. Ecuador has NO death penalty for drugs. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

Paraguay

Legal status: Not confirmed — status not individually verified; confirm with Paraguay's authorities (Law N° 1.340/88) / your embassy
Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Paraguayan sources (Law N° 1.340/88 Arts 16/30) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. Under Paraguay's Law N° 1.340/88, personal-use possession is exempt from punishment up to the CURRENT statutory thresholds of Art 30 — cannabis 10 g or less, and cocaine, heroin or other opiates 2 g or less — with a forensic doctor determining whether the amount is for personal use. Trafficking and cultivation (Art 16) draw up to 10–20 years. The Art 30 thresholds name cannabis (10 g) and cocaine/heroin/other opiates (2 g); other substances are not assigned a statutory personal-use amount.
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).
Documentation: Personal-use possession is exempt from punishment up to the CURRENT statutory thresholds of Law N° 1.340/88 Art 30: cannabis 10 g or less, and cocaine, heroin or other opiates 2 g or less, with a forensic doctor determining whether the amount is for personal use. These thresholds ARE current law. Possession of cannabis above the threshold draws 2–4 years; trafficking and cultivation (Art 16) draw up to 10–20 years. Medical cannabis is legal (Bill 6007/2018; derivatives and CBD by physician authorization; DINAVISA Resolution 488/2025 is medical-only and does NOT legalize recreational), but a self-cultivation bill (6602/2020) was REJECTED. Recreational sale and purchase remain illegal; Paraguay is the world's second-largest cannabis producer and a major exporter (the pressed 'ladrillo' brick trade), but that does NOT make recreational sale legal. Paraguay has NO death penalty for drugs. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

Ghana

Legal status: Not confirmed — status not individually verified; confirm with Ghana's authorities (Act 1019 of 2020) / your embassy
Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Ghanaian sources (Narcotics Control Commission Act, 2020 (Act 1019), Secs 37/41/45 and Second Schedule) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. Under Ghana's Narcotics Control Commission Act, 2020 (Act 1019), possession for personal use (Secs 37/41/45) is DEPENALIZED, not decriminalized: it draws a FINE of 200–500 penalty units (about GHS 2,400–6,000), with non-payment converting to roughly 15 months' imprisonment. This replaced prison with a fine, but personal use REMAINS ILLEGAL and the Act defines NO personal-use quantity thresholds. Trafficking is severe (fines plus imprisonment under the Second Schedule).
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).
Documentation: Ghana DEPENALIZED (not decriminalized) personal drug use: under the Narcotics Control Commission Act, 2020 (Act 1019), possession for personal use (Secs 37/41/45) draws a FINE of 200–500 penalty units (about GHS 2,400–6,000), with non-payment converting to roughly 15 months' imprisonment. This replaced the old prison terms of PNDCL 236 (1990) with a fine, but recreational and personal use REMAINS ILLEGAL — it is depenalization, NOT decriminalization or legalization — and the Act defines NO personal-use quantity thresholds. Trafficking is severe (fines plus imprisonment under the Second Schedule). [struck] Sec 43, a special provision for licensed cultivation of low-THC cannabis (0.3% THC or less) for industrial, medical and scientific use only (NOT recreational), was ruled unconstitutional by Ghana's Supreme Court in May 2023 (5–4) on procedural grounds and was struck; Parliament action to re-pass followed — confirm the current status, do NOT rely on Sec 43 as settled law. Ghana has NO death penalty for drugs. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

Israel

Legal status: Not confirmed — status not individually verified; confirm with Israel's authorities (Dangerous Drugs Ordinance 1973) / your embassy
Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Israeli sources (Dangerous Drugs Ordinance (New Version 5732, 1973), incl. Sec 6) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. The cannabis decriminalization-by-policy framework is cannabis-only and does NOT extend to other drugs, which remain criminal (possession or use up to 3 years; cultivation/trafficking up to 20 years).
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).
Documentation: Cannabis is DECRIMINALIZED BY POLICY, not legalized: since 1 April 2019 (a temporary order following the July 2018 Knesset approval) adult personal use or possession of a 'small amount' (15 g or less) is handled administratively rather than as a criminal offence; private-home use is no offence at all, while public use draws a three-strikes graduated fine (first about NIS 1,000 / about USD 275, doubled on the second, the third triggers a criminal investigation / licence loss, the fourth prosecution). This is decriminalization by temporary order, NOT legalization — per NIDA and the Anti-Drug Authority cannabis use is 'still forbidden.' Soldiers, prisoners, minors and police are EXCLUDED from the decrim framework and remain criminal. The framework is cannabis-only and does NOT extend to other drugs: cocaine, heroin and MDMA remain criminal (possession or use up to 3 years). Cultivation (Sec 6) carries up to 20 years and trafficking/import/export up to 20 years (25 years supplying a minor), with 8-year asset seizure. IN-FLUX (flagged, not enacted): [draft] a 2020 bill to decriminalize up to 50 g did NOT pass; [draft] 2022 Sa'ar draft regulations to make personal use purely administrative and expunge records; [draft] a February 2024 redefinition of 'dangerous drug' to only cannabis above 0.3% THC (placing low-THC CBD outside the ordinance) — confirm current status. Medical cannabis is one of the world's oldest and largest programs (1990s; Israel Medical Cannabis Agency / Ministry of Health; about 130,000–140,000 patients; a January 2024 reform dropped the 'last resort' requirement). Israel has NO death penalty for drugs. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

Panama

Legal status: Not confirmed — status not individually verified; confirm with Panama's authorities (Ley No. 23 of 1986) / your embassy
Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Panamanian sources (Ley No. 23 of 1986 with Law No. 13 of 1994; Penal Code Arts 313/314/320/321/322) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. Recreational use is illegal in Panama and there is NO formal decriminalization threshold. Under Penal Code Art 320, where a court or forensic examiner determines the amount is a 'small quantity' for personal consumption (a single dose), penalties are lighter — fines, community service, weekend detention or 2–4 years, or therapeutic measures (dependency plus a small amount leads to rehabilitative rather than custodial measures) — but this is discretionary, not a fixed threshold, and possession remains illegal. Possession for distribution (Art 321) draws 8–12 years; trafficking/import/export/transit (Art 313) 10–15 years; cultivation or manufacture (Art 314) 10–15 years; organized-crime leaders (Art 322) 20–25 years.
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).
Documentation: Recreational drug use is ILLEGAL in Panama and there is NO formal decriminalization threshold — do not treat Panama as 'decriminalized.'

Nigeria

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — Nigeria controls MDMA as an illegal drug under the NDLEA Act (Cap N30, 2004) while ketamine is a Nationally Controlled Drug under NAFDAC, and drug law reaches any preparation containing a controlled substance. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled component, so an MDMA-containing tusi sample carries the heavier NDLEA Act exposure.
Consequences if caught: An MDMA-positive mixture is an NDLEA Act offence where possession/use (Secs 11/19) draws 15–25 years and trafficking up to life imprisonment — the Act provides imprisonment (up to life), not death.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of street tusi; ketamine is a NAFDAC-controlled medicine used as an anaesthetic, while MDMA has no accepted medical use.
Documentation: Sold as a party powder of unknown makeup; because the blend varies batch to batch, buyers cannot know its constituents, so heavy legal exposure under the NDLEA Act is unknowable at purchase.

Bangladesh

Legal status: Not confirmed — status not individually verified; confirm with Bangladesh's authorities (Narcotics Control Act 2018) / your embassy
Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Bangladeshi sources (Narcotics Control Act 2018) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. The 2018 Act carries the death penalty or life for 200 g or more of yaba or 25 g or more of heroin/cocaine, with quantity-tiered penalties below those thresholds.
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).
Documentation: The Narcotics Control Act 2018 (in force 27 December 2018) carries the DEATH PENALTY or life imprisonment for trading, producing, transporting, storing or using 200 g or more of yaba (methamphetamine/amphetamine) OR 25 g or more of heroin, cocaine or coca-derived narcotics; financing or patronizing drug dealing carries the death penalty as the maximum. Below those thresholds: under 200 g of yaba draws 1–5 years (under 5 g up to 5 years); under 25 g of Category-A narcotics (heroin/cocaine) draws 2–10 years. Cannabis is controlled in a lower category (Article 19 lineage) with penalties from 6 months to life by quantity, but is NOT a capital offence. Yaba/methamphetamine, shisha and khat were newly defined in the 2018 Act, which also introduced a dope-test provision. There is NO medical-cannabis program. The death penalty is current and in force (the last known drug execution was in 2009 per HRI, but the 2018 Act re-armed it). Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

Pakistan

Legal status: Not confirmed — status not individually verified; confirm with Pakistan's authorities (CNSA 1997) / your embassy
Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Pakistani sources (Control of Narcotic Substances Act 1997, Sec 9, and the 2022/2023 amended tables) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. CNSA Sec 9 penalties are tiered by quantity (up to 100 g: up to 2 years; 100 g–1 kg: up to 7 years; above 1 kg: death OR life OR up to 14 years; 10 kg or more: not less than life).
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).
Documentation: Under the Control of Narcotic Substances Act 1997 (CNSA, Sec 9), penalties are tiered by quantity: up to 100 g draws up to 2 years; 100 g to 1 kg up to 7 years; above 1 kg draws death OR life OR up to 14 years plus a fine up to 1 million rupees; 10 kg or more draws not less than life. [narrowed] death-penalty applicability — confirm current applicability per the 2022/2023 amended tables: the death penalty is present in CNSA Sec 9 for top-tier trafficking (above 1 kg: death OR life OR up to 14 years; 10 kg or more: not less than life), but the 2023 amendment REMOVED/narrowed it for certain categories (per legal sources, where death had been stipulated — e.g. 6000 g or more of heroin/morphine or 5000 g or more of cocaine). The 2022 amendment introduced detailed type/quantity tables (Bhang, Charas, Hashish Oil, Opium, Heroin, Cocaine), and charas (hashish) and bhang (cannabis) are explicitly scheduled. Sec 6 has a medical/scientific/industrial exception (not a recreational carve-out); there is NO recreational or formal medical-cannabis program. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

Taiwan

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — Taiwan lists ketamine as a Category 3 and MDMA as a Category 2 narcotic under the Narcotics Hazard Prevention Act, which reaches any preparation containing a controlled substance. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled component; the capital penalty applies only to Category 1, so tusi is not death-eligible here.
Consequences if caught: Manufacture and trafficking are prosecuted under the Narcotics Hazard Prevention Act, with an MDMA (Category 2) sample carrying heavier terms than a ketamine-only (Category 3) sample — but neither reaches the Category 1 death penalty.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of the mixture; ketamine is a Category 3 controlled medicine, while MDMA is a Category 2 substance with no accepted recreational medical use.
Documentation: Sold as a party powder of unknown makeup; because the blend varies batch to batch, buyers cannot know its constituents, so legal exposure under the Narcotics Hazard Prevention Act is unknowable at purchase.

Hong Kong

Legal status: Not confirmed — status not individually verified; confirm with Hong Kong's authorities (Dangerous Drugs Ordinance Cap. 134) / your embassy
Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Hong Kong sources (Dangerous Drugs Ordinance, Cap. 134, Secs 4/8) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. Dangerous drugs in the First Schedule carry up to 7 years for possession and up to life for trafficking; importing or exporting even for personal use counts as trafficking. Hong Kong has NO death penalty (abolished) — the maximum is life.
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).
Documentation: All controlled drugs sit in a single First Schedule under the Dangerous Drugs Ordinance (Cap. 134) with no soft/hard penalty tiering — cannabis, heroin, cocaine, ice (methamphetamine), ecstasy (MDMA), ketamine and CBD are all 'dangerous drugs.' Trafficking (Sec 4) carries a maximum of life imprisonment plus a HK$5 million fine on indictment (3 years plus HK$500,000 summary); possession (Sec 8) carries a maximum of 7 years plus a HK$1 million fine; possession of a pipe or equipment carries HK$10,000 and 3 years. Cultivation of cannabis or opium poppy is an offence, and importing or exporting (even for personal use) counts as trafficking. CBD was reclassified as a dangerous drug from 1 February 2023 (trafficking CBD = life plus HK$5 million; possession = 7 years plus HK$1 million), and 'space oil' (etomidate) was scheduled in February 2025. There is NO medical-cannabis program. Hong Kong has NO death penalty (abolished) — the maximum is life imprisonment. Sentencing within these maxima is quantity-band-driven through case law rather than fixed statutory gram thresholds. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named with a personal-dose limit in the cited Venezuelan sources (Ley Orgánica de Drogas 2010, Arts 131/149/153) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. Under Venezuela's Ley Orgánica de Drogas (LOD, 2010), possession of a personal dose for consumption is NOT a crime (Art 131) — not jail, but mandatory rehabilitation/treatment, possible driver's-licence suspension and community service. Illicit possession above the personal dose but not for trafficking (Art 153) draws 1–2 years; trafficking (Art 149) draws 15–25 years (12–18 years where 5000 g or less of cannabis or 1000 g or less of cocaine; 8–12 years where smaller but above the personal dose). Venezuela has NO death penalty (abolished 1863, constitutionally prohibited). The Art 131 personal-dose limits are stated for cannabis (20 g) and cocaine (2 g); no statutory personal-dose amount is given for other substances.
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).
Documentation: Personal-use possession is NOT a crime in Venezuela: under Ley Orgánica de Drogas (LOD) Art 131, possession of a personal dose for consumption is not an offence. The personal-dose limits (Art 131) are up to 20 g of cannabis or 2 g of cocaine (and 5 g or less of 'genetically modified marijuana'); a person within those limits is not jailed but is subject to mandatory rehabilitation/treatment, possible driver's-licence suspension and community service. Illicit possession above the personal dose but not for trafficking (Art 153) draws 1–2 years. Trafficking (Art 149) draws 15–25 years; where the quantity is 5000 g or less of cannabis or 1000 g or less of cocaine, 12–18 years; where smaller but above the personal dose, 8–12 years; cultivation for trafficking up to 18 years. All cannabis use — recreational and medical — is illegal: there is NO medical-cannabis program, CBD/hemp is illegal, and only limited scientific-research licences exist. Venezuela has NO death penalty (abolished 1863, constitutionally prohibited). Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Guatemalan sources (Ley contra la Narcoactividad, Decreto 48-92, 1992, Arts 38/39/52) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. Guatemala has NOT decriminalized any drug (Ley contra la Narcoactividad, Decreto 48-92): there are no drug-specific quantity thresholds — a judge decides personal use versus trafficking case-by-case ('reasonable quantity for immediate consumption', Art 39), so there is no fixed statutory quantity. Personal-use possession (Art 39) draws 4 months–2 years plus a Q200–10,000 fine; trafficking, commerce or storage (Art 38) draws 12–20 years plus a Q50,000–1,000,000 fine; cultivation or manufacture up to about 20–25 years. The death penalty (Art 52) applies ONLY where a drug offence under this law results in the death of one or more persons (death or 30 years depending on circumstances) — there is NO quantity-based trafficking death penalty.
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).
Documentation: Guatemala has NOT decriminalized any drug: under the Ley contra la Narcoactividad (Decreto 48-92, 1992) there are no drug-specific quantity thresholds — a judge decides personal use versus trafficking case-by-case ('reasonable quantity for immediate consumption', Art 39). Personal-use possession (Art 39) draws 4 months–2 years in prison plus a Q200–10,000 fine. Trafficking, commerce or storage (Art 38) draws 12–20 years plus a Q50,000–1,000,000 fine, and cultivation or manufacture up to about 20–25 years. Death penalty (Art 52): it applies ONLY where a drug offence under this law results in the death of one or more persons (death or 30 years depending on circumstances) — there is NO quantity-based trafficking death penalty. There is no medical cannabis (a 2016 bill was rejected), and extradition to the US is possible (1940 treaty). No fixed statutory quantity exists for any drug — the personal-versus-trafficking line is judicial discretion. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

Nepal

Legal status: Not confirmed — status not individually verified; confirm with Nepal's authorities (Narcotic Drugs (Control) Act, 2033) / your embassy
Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Nepali sources (Narcotic Drugs (Control) Act, 2033 (1976 AD), amended through 1998) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. Controlled drugs carry tiered penalties up to life imprisonment; Nepal has NO death penalty (the maximum is life).
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).
Documentation: Nepal has NO death penalty — the maximum drug penalty is life imprisonment (jiban kaidi), under the Narcotic Drugs (Control) Act, 2033 (1976 AD, amended through 1998). Historically cannabis was legal through government shops until 1973; a cannabis-legalization bill is currently tabled but NOT enacted (proposed, not law). Cannabis consumption draws up to 1 month or an NPR 2,000 fine (first-time minor offenders may be released on a bond, and there is no punishment for a person in recognized treatment, Sec 19A). Cannabis possession is tiered: 50 g or less up to 3 months; 50–500 g up to 1 year; 500 g–2 kg up to 2 years; 2–10 kg up to 3 years; 10 kg or more 2–10 years plus a fine (a reported personal-use line is about 5 g cannabis / 2 g hashish). Heroin and cocaine: 5 g or less 2–5 years; 5–100 g 5–10 years; over 100 g or any trafficking 10 years to life plus an NPR 500,000–2,500,000 fine. Cultivation: 25 plants or fewer up to 3 months; more than 25 plants 3 months–3 years. Other hard drugs (methamphetamine/'yaba', MDMA, LSD) are controlled, with trafficking punishable up to life. Foreigners face the same law, no bail, and deportation after sentence. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

Risk drugs carry 3 months–2 years for personal-use possession and 3–15 years for trafficking; high-risk drugs 6 months–3 years and 10–20 years. Romania (EU) has no death penalty.
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).
Documentation: Romania (an EU member with no death penalty) splits controlled drugs into 'risk drugs' (the cannabis plant, resin and oil) and 'high-risk drugs' (heroin, cocaine, MDMA, ketamine and isolated THC) under Law No. 143/2000 (amended 2014 via the new Penal Code, and 2023). Drug USE in itself is not criminalized — only possession. Possession for personal use draws 3 months–2 years or a fine for risk drugs, and 6 months–3 years for high-risk drugs, with treatment and community-service alternatives ('therapeutic justice'). Trafficking (Art 2) draws 3–15 years for risk drugs and 10–20 years for high-risk; import/export (Art 3) 10–20 years for high-risk, with international trafficking up to 7–20 years; if distribution causes death, 15–25 years. Note the THC-versus-plant split: the cannabis plant is a 'risk drug', but isolated THC is a 'high-risk drug'. Medical cannabis exists on paper but barely functions, and CBD is legal under tight THC limits. [rejected] A 2023 bill to decriminalize possession of 3 g or less of cannabis was rejected by the Senate (not law). Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

Slovakia

Legal status: Not confirmed — status not individually verified; confirm with Slovakia's authorities (Criminal Code Act No. 300/2005 Coll.) / your embassy
Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Slovak sources (Criminal Code, Act No. 300/2005 Coll., Secs 171–172; schedules under Act No. 139/1998 Coll.) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. In Slovakia (EU, no death penalty), drug use in itself is not the offence — possession is, and the thresholds are DOSE-MULTIPLES, not grams (Criminal Code, Act No. 300/2005 Coll.). Possession (Sec 171) draws up to 3 years for an amount up to three times a usual single dose, and up to 5 years for up to ten times a single dose; any amount above ten doses must be charged as trafficking under Sec 172. Trafficking (Sec 172) draws 3–10 years at base, 10–15 years for larger or aggravated cases, and up to 20–25 years in the gravest cases (the overall maximum is life); import or export is treated as aggravated trafficking. These dose-multiple thresholds are not convertible to fixed grams.
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).
Documentation: Slovakia (an EU member with no death penalty) is unusually punitive for the EU on possession. Under the Criminal Code (Act No. 300/2005 Coll.), drug use in itself is not the offence — possession is; the thresholds are DOSE-MULTIPLES, not grams (cannabis is Schedule I under Act No. 139/1998 Coll.). Possession (Sec 171) draws up to 3 years for an amount up to three times a usual single dose, and up to 5 years for up to ten times a single dose; any amount above ten doses must be charged as trafficking under Sec 172. Trafficking (Sec 172) draws 3–10 years at base, 10–15 years for larger or aggravated cases, and up to 20–25 years in the gravest aggravated cases (the overall maximum is life); import or export is treated as aggravated trafficking. Since 2023, CBD-rich medical cannabis preparations are permitted, but recreational cannabis is fully criminal. These dose-multiple thresholds are not convertible to fixed grams. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

Trinidad and Tobago

Legal status: Not confirmed — status not individually verified; confirm with Trinidad and Tobago's authorities (Dangerous Drugs Act, Chap. 11:25, as amended 2019) / your embassy
Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Trinidad and Tobago sources (Dangerous Drugs Act, Chap. 11:25, as amended by Act No. 24 of 2019) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. The 2019 decriminalization applies ONLY to cannabis (up to 30 g / 5 g resin / 4 plants); other controlled drugs remain fully prohibited with trafficking up to life. There is no death penalty (max life).
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).
Documentation: Trinidad and Tobago (no death penalty; maximum life) partly decriminalized cannabis in 2019 under the Dangerous Drugs (Amendment) Act No. 24 of 2019 (in force 23 December 2019), amending the Dangerous Drugs Act (Chap. 11:25). Adults may possess up to 30 g of cannabis or up to 5 g of cannabis resin with no criminal penalty, cultivate up to 4 plants per household, and use in private (not in public and not around children). Possession of 30–60 g of cannabis (with proportionate resin) draws a fixed-penalty fine of up to TTD 50,000 with no record if paid. Possession of more than 100 g of cannabis or more than 14 g of resin draws TTD 250,000 plus 5 years (summary) or TTD 1,000,000 plus 15 years (on indictment). Cultivating more than 4 plants draws TTD 750,000 plus 10 years (summary) or up to life (indictment). Selling or trafficking cannabis draws up to TTD 3,000,000 (or ten times street value) plus long imprisonment, and an offence within 500 m of a school is a trafficking offence punishable up to life. Public cannabis use draws a fine up to TTD 50,000, and drug-driving TTD 250,000 plus 5 years. Hard drugs (heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, MDMA, LSD, ketamine) remain fully prohibited — the 2019 Act created or raised penalties for ketamine, LSD and MDMA — with trafficking punishable by heavy fines and up to life. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

Ukraine

Legal status: Not confirmed — status not individually verified; confirm with Ukraine's authorities (Criminal Code Arts 305/307/309/310; MoH Order No. 188) / your embassy
Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Ukrainian sources (Criminal Code Arts 305/307/309/310; Code of Administrative Offenses Art 44; MoH Order No. 188) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. Ukraine (death penalty abolished 2000) handles drugs under the Criminal Code (Arts 305/307/309/310), the Code of Administrative Offenses (Art 44) and Ministry of Health Order No. 188, whose small/large/especially-large quantity thresholds are very low (trace amounts have triggered Art 309). Drug use itself (other than in public) is not criminal. A personal-use small amount (Art 44 of the Code of Administrative Offenses) is administrative — a fine of 25–50 tax-free minimum incomes, 20–60 hours of community service, or administrative arrest up to 15 days. Above 'small', personal use (Art 309) is criminal (a fine, correctional labour up to 2 years, or restriction of liberty up to 5 years; aggravated or large up to 3 years; involving minors up to 8 years). Trafficking or sale (Art 307) draws 4–12 years plus property forfeiture; smuggling (Art 305) 5–8 years (up to 8–10 years aggravated).
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).
Documentation: Ukraine abolished the death penalty in 2000 (a Council of Europe condition); the framework is the Criminal Code (Arts 305/307/309/310), the Code of Administrative Offenses (Art 44), and Ministry of Health Order No. 188 (2000, as amended), which defines small, large and especially-large quantities — and these thresholds are very low (trace amounts have triggered Art 309). Drug use itself (other than in public) is not criminal. A personal-use small amount (Art 44 of the Code of Administrative Offenses) is an administrative matter: a fine of 25–50 tax-free minimum incomes, 20–60 hours of community service, or administrative arrest up to 15 days. Above 'small', personal use (Art 309) is criminal: a fine, correctional labour up to 2 years, or restriction of liberty up to 5 years; aggravated or large up to 3 years; involving minors up to 8 years. Trafficking or sale (Art 307) draws 4–12 years plus property forfeiture; smuggling (Art 305) 5–8 years, up to 8–10 years aggravated. For cannabis, the administrative-versus-criminal line is 5 grams (above 5 g is criminal under Art 309); cultivation of 10 or fewer cannabis plants without intent to sell is effectively decriminalized or fined, while Art 310 makes 100–500 opium-poppy plants or 10–50 cannabis plants criminal. The 2023 Law on Medical Cannabis legalized regulated MEDICAL cannabis only (drops, capsules, pastes, gels) and did NOT change the recreational criminal framework. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

Bahrain

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — Bahrain prohibits MDMA under Law 15 of 2007 on Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances, which reaches any preparation containing a controlled substance. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled component, so an MDMA-containing tusi sample carries capital trafficking exposure.
Consequences if caught: An MDMA-positive mixture is a prohibited-narcotic offence where trafficking is death-eligible (or imprisonment plus fine) under Law 15 of 2007; possession and use are separately criminal.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of the mixture; MDMA has no accepted medical use, and ketamine, where present, is a controlled medicine.
Documentation: Sold as a party powder of unknown makeup; because the blend varies batch to batch, buyers and travellers cannot know whether death-eligible MDMA is present, so capital-level legal exposure is unknowable at purchase.

Brunei

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — Brunei controls ketamine as a Class B controlled drug and MDMA as a controlled drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act (Cap. 27), which reaches any preparation containing a controlled drug. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled component; neither constituent is listed among the capital Second-Schedule thresholds, so tusi is not death-eligible here.
Consequences if caught: Possession, consumption and trafficking are serious offences carrying imprisonment, caning and fines under the Misuse of Drugs Act — but because neither constituent appears in the capital Second Schedule, the mandatory death penalty does not attach.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of the mixture; ketamine is a Class B controlled medicine, while MDMA has no accepted medical use.
Documentation: Sold as a party powder of unknown makeup; because the blend varies batch to batch, buyers and travellers cannot know its constituents, so heavy legal exposure under the Misuse of Drugs Act is unknowable at purchase.

Iran

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — Iran controls ketamine under the Law on Combating Narcotics (1988, amended 2017) and the Psychotropic Substances Law (1975), and MDMA is likewise a controlled substance; the law reaches any preparation containing a controlled substance. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled detected component.
Consequences if caught: Ketamine is not among Iran's enumerated capital narcotics, so a ketamine-only sample carries imprisonment rather than death; large-scale trafficking of controlled psychotropics such as MDMA can, however, be death-eligible under the Anti-Narcotics Law.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of the mixture; ketamine is a controlled medicine used as an anaesthetic, while MDMA has no accepted medical use.
Documentation: Sold as a party powder of unknown makeup; because the blend varies batch to batch, buyers cannot know its constituents or which one drives the penalty, so legal exposure under the Anti-Narcotics Law is unknowable at purchase.

Laos

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — Laos controls MDMA (ecstasy) as a psychotropic under the Penal Code (Art 146), and drug law reaches any preparation containing a controlled substance. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled component, so an MDMA-containing tusi sample carries the Art 146 capital exposure.
Consequences if caught: An MDMA-positive mixture is prosecuted under Art 146, where trafficking above 3 kg of amphetamine-type/psychotropic substances is death-eligible; personal use of a small amount draws lesser penalties.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of the mixture; MDMA has no accepted medical use, and ketamine, where present, is a controlled medicine.
Documentation: Sold as a party powder of unknown makeup; because the blend varies batch to batch, buyers cannot know whether death-eligible MDMA is present, so capital-level legal exposure is unknowable at purchase.

Myanmar

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — Myanmar prohibits MDMA under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Law 1993, which reaches any preparation containing a controlled substance. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled component, so an MDMA-containing tusi sample carries the 1993 Law's severe trafficking exposure.
Consequences if caught: An MDMA-positive mixture is a serious offence under the 1993 Law, where production, distribution, sale, import or export (Sec 20) carries 15 years to unlimited imprisonment and, for aggravated trafficking, death eligibility.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of the mixture; MDMA has no accepted medical use, and ketamine, where present, is a controlled medicine.
Documentation: Sold as a party powder of unknown makeup; because the blend varies batch to batch, buyers cannot know whether MDMA is present, so severe legal exposure under the 1993 Law is unknowable at purchase.

Oman

Legal status: Not confirmed — status not individually verified; confirm with Oman's authorities (Royal Decree 17/99 as amended) / your embassy
Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Omani sources (Royal Decree 17/99, amended by RD 34/2015 and RD 24/2023, Arts 43/44) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. In Oman (Law on Combating Narcotics and Psychotropic Substances, Royal Decree 17/99, amended by Royal Decree 34/2015 and Royal Decree 24/2023), all drugs are prohibited. The death penalty (Art 43) applies as death OR life plus a fine over OMR 25,000 for dealers, peddlers and smugglers; death for anyone connected to international drug-trafficking gangs; and death OR life for producing, importing or exporting. The 2015 amendment removed the prior 50 kg quantity threshold, so the death penalty is no longer tied to a specified quantity — there is no fixed statutory quantity (discretionary). Possession or use is criminal: refusing a sample for abuse detection draws 3 years plus an OMR 1,000 fine, and providing or channeling drugs to users draws 10 years plus an OMR 15,000 fine (Art 44/4). Expatriates face deportation. [retained; death sentences handed down; no fixed quantity threshold since 2015] Death sentences have been handed down for drugs (about 5 drug death verdicts in the 15 years to roughly 2015), a real applied penalty though execution numbers are low.
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).
Documentation: All drugs (heroin — the most-seized — cocaine, methamphetamine, cannabis) are prohibited in Oman under the Law on Combating Narcotics and Psychotropic Substances (Royal Decree 17/99, in force 6 April 1999, amended by Royal Decree 34/2015 and Royal Decree 24/2023); there is no medical cannabis. The death penalty (Art 43) applies as death OR life plus a fine over OMR 25,000 for dealers, peddlers and smugglers; death for anyone connected to international drug-trafficking gangs; and death OR life for producing, importing or exporting.

Legal status: Not confirmed — status not individually verified; confirm with Bulgaria's authorities (Penal Code Arts 354a–c; ZKNVP) / your embassy
Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Bulgarian sources (Penal Code Arts 354a/354b/354c; Law on Control of Narcotic Substances and Precursors, ZKNVP) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. In Bulgaria (EU; death penalty abolished 1998), drugs are split into high-risk and moderate-risk under the Penal Code (Arts 354a/354b/354c) and the Law on Control of Narcotic Substances and Precursors (ZKNVP). Possession is not subject to a formal personal-use threshold: Art 354a(5) lets a judge impose a fine up to about 1,000 leva (about €511) for insignificant quantities, but it remains a criminal conviction. Standard possession of high-risk drugs draws 1–6 years plus a 2,000–10,000 leva fine; moderate-risk up to 5 years. Trafficking (Art 354a) draws 2–8 years for high-risk and 1–6 years for moderate-risk, rising to up to 15 years for aggravated or particularly large amounts. Cultivation of opium poppy, coca or cannabis (Art 354c) is prohibited.

Legal status: Not confirmed — status not individually verified; confirm with Lithuania's authorities (Criminal Code Arts 259/260) / your embassy
Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Lithuanian sources (Criminal Code, Baudžiamasis kodeksas, Arts 259/260; Law on Control of Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. In Lithuania (EU; no death penalty), the Criminal Code distinguishes possession without intent to distribute (Art 259) from production or distribution (Art 260). Possession without intent to distribute (Art 259) draws up to 2 years (a fine, restriction of liberty, arrest or imprisonment). [reported] Since 2017 administrative liability for personal-use possession was abolished, making it criminal-only, though a 2017 amendment introduced a narrow administrative path for very small first-time amounts that is applied inconsistently. Distribution or production (Art 260) draws 2–12 years, rising to 5–15 years for a particularly large quantity; import or export is treated as aggravated trafficking under Art 260. Lithuania is noted as unusually punitive, and cannabis is Schedule I.

In Estonia (EU; no death penalty), small-quantity possession or consumption without a prescription is a MISDEMEANOUR under Penal Code §183 — a fine (currently up to about €2,400, '200 fine units') or detention up to 30 days (the cannabis personal-use line is about 7.5 g). Any handling deemed not solely for personal use — manufacture, acquisition, storage, transport or supply — is CRIMINAL under §184: up to 3 years for the smallest quantities, and 6–20 years or life by quantity and aggravation. This is under the Act on Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances and Precursors (NDPSA, 1997).

[reported] The personal-possession offence may revert to a misdemeanour under the Law on Peace and Order — reported at an EUDA meeting, not enacted. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

Iraq

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — Iraq prohibits MDMA under the Narcotics and Psychotropic Substances Law No. 50 of 2017, which reaches any preparation containing a controlled substance. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled component, so an MDMA-containing tusi sample carries capital trafficking exposure.
Consequences if caught: An MDMA-positive mixture is a serious offence under Law No. 50 of 2017 where importing, producing or trafficking is punishable by death or life (Arts 27/28); personal possession is a lesser offence.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of the mixture; MDMA has no accepted medical use, and ketamine, where present, is a controlled medicine.
Documentation: Sold as a party powder of unknown makeup; because the blend varies batch to batch, buyers and travellers cannot know whether death-eligible MDMA is present, so capital-level legal exposure is unknowable at purchase.

Jordan

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — Jordan controls both MDMA and ketamine under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Law No. 23 of 2016 (amended 2021), which reaches any preparation containing a controlled substance. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled detected component.
Consequences if caught: General trafficking of an MDMA- or ketamine-containing mixture draws 1–12 years (up to 25 for aggravated cases) with possession/use lesser offences; the most serious aggravated trafficking can be capital-eligible.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of the mixture; ketamine is a controlled medicine used as an anaesthetic, while MDMA has no accepted medical use.
Documentation: Sold as a party powder of unknown makeup; because the blend varies batch to batch, buyers cannot know its constituents, so legal exposure under Law No. 23 of 2016 is unknowable at purchase.

Syria

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — Syria prohibits MDMA under the Narcotic Drugs Law No. 2 of 1993, which reaches any preparation containing a controlled substance. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled component, so an MDMA-containing tusi sample carries capital exposure.
Consequences if caught: An MDMA-positive mixture is a serious offence under Law No. 2 of 1993 where trafficking, cultivation or manufacture is punishable by death (Art 39) and trafficking otherwise by life plus fine; possession is a lesser offence.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of the mixture; MDMA has no accepted medical use, and ketamine, where present, is a controlled medicine.
Documentation: Sold as a party powder of unknown makeup; because the blend varies batch to batch, buyers and travellers cannot know whether death-eligible MDMA is present, so capital-level legal exposure is unknowable at purchase.

Yemen

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — Yemen prohibits MDMA under Law No. 3 of 1993 on the Control of Illicit Trafficking in and Abuse of Narcotics and Psychotropics, which reaches any preparation containing a controlled substance. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled component, so an MDMA-containing tusi sample carries capital exposure.
Consequences if caught: An MDMA-positive mixture is a serious offence under Law No. 3 of 1993 where trafficking or cultivation with intent is punishable by death or 25 years (Art 34); possession not for trafficking is a lesser offence.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of the mixture; MDMA has no accepted medical use, and ketamine, where present, is a controlled medicine.
Documentation: Sold as a party powder of unknown makeup; because the blend varies batch to batch, buyers and travellers cannot know whether death-eligible MDMA is present, so capital-level legal exposure is unknowable at purchase.

Libya

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — Libya prohibits MDMA under Law No. 7 of 1990 on Narcotics and Psychotropic Substances (as amended), which reaches any preparation containing a controlled substance. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled component, so an MDMA-containing tusi sample carries capital exposure for aggravated trafficking.
Consequences if caught: An MDMA-positive mixture is a serious offence under Law No. 7 of 1990 where aggravated trafficking is death-eligible; lower-level offences and personal use draw imprisonment.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of the mixture; MDMA has no accepted medical use, and ketamine, where present, is a controlled medicine.
Documentation: Sold as a party powder of unknown makeup; because the blend varies batch to batch, buyers and travellers cannot know whether death-eligible MDMA is present, so capital-level legal exposure is unknowable at purchase.

Sudan

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — Sudan prohibits MDMA under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act of 1994, which reaches any preparation containing a controlled substance. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled component, so an MDMA-containing tusi sample can carry capital exposure.
Consequences if caught: An MDMA-positive mixture is a serious offence under the 1994 Act where the death penalty is conditional/aggravator-based (recidivist, official, or where the offence involves a minor) and other trafficking draws lengthy imprisonment.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of the mixture; MDMA has no accepted medical use, and ketamine, where present, is a controlled medicine.
Documentation: Sold as a party powder of unknown makeup; because the blend varies batch to batch, buyers and travellers cannot know whether MDMA (with its conditional capital exposure) is present, so legal exposure is unknowable at purchase.

Albania

Legal status: Not confirmed — status not individually verified; confirm with Albania's authorities (Criminal Code Arts 283/283-a/283-b/284) / your embassy
Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Albanian sources (Criminal Code, Law No. 7895 of 1995, as amended, Arts 283/283-a/283-b/284) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. In Albania (Council of Europe member; no death penalty), drug offences fall under the Criminal Code (Law No. 7895 of 27 January 1995, as amended). Manufacturing, selling, transporting or keeping drugs (Art 283) draws 5–10 years, rising to 7–15 years in complicity or on repeat and 10–20 years for organizing, managing or financing. Trafficking — import, export or transit (Art 283-a) — draws 7–15 years, rising to 10–20 in complicity or on repeat and 15 years and above for organizing or financing. Facilitating intake or use by administering drugs (Art 283-b) draws 3–7 years. Cultivation of narcotic plants (Art 284) draws 3–7 years, rising to 5–10 in complicity or on repeat and 10–20 for organizing or financing. A 'small dose' personal-use carve-out exists under Art 283, but there is NO statutory gram threshold — the Supreme Court (Decision 1 of 27 March 2008) defined 'small quantity' as a single dose for that individual, decided case-by-case; in practice low-level users are still prosecuted under Art 283 (5-year minimums have been seen even for roughly 0.4–1.9 g). Personal possession may, in practice, be handled administratively under the Code of Misdemeanors Art 121 (a fine of about 10,000–50,000 ALL) — reported, not controlling.
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).

North Macedonia

Legal status: Not confirmed — status not individually verified; confirm with North Macedonia's authorities (Criminal Code Arts 215/216/217) / your embassy
Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited North Macedonian sources (Criminal Code, Arts 215/216/217, Chapter 21) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. In North Macedonia (Council of Europe member; no death penalty), drug offences fall under the Criminal Code (Chapter 21), principally Art 215 — unauthorised production and release for trade of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and precursors — which carries 3–10 years; a lesser-quantity paragraph added in September 2009 carries 6 months–3 years. Art 216 covers facilitating or enabling the use of drugs, and Art 217 covers causing severe bodily injury or health damage through the Art 215/216 offences. 'Small' versus 'large' quantity is NOT defined in the Code — the Public Prosecutor's internal guidelines set non-statutory cut-offs; reported working thresholds are around 2 g of cocaine, 2 g of heroin and 5 g of cannabis, above which intent to sell is presumed (reported prosecutorial practice, NOT statutory). There is NO separate personal-possession offence in the Code — personal use is often charged under Art 215, so even minimal quantities carry 3–10-year exposure, and leniency depends on prosecutorial discretion rather than a statutory carve-out.
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).

Bosnia and Herzegovina

Legal status: Not confirmed — status not individually verified; confirm with Bosnia and Herzegovina's authorities (Criminal Code of BiH Art 195 + entity codes) / your embassy
Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Bosnian sources (Law on Prevention and Suppression of the Abuse of Narcotic Drugs, Off. Gazette BiH 8/06; Criminal Code of BiH Art 195) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. In Bosnia and Herzegovina (Council of Europe member; ECHR-bound; no death penalty), drug law is multi-level. State-level Criminal Code Art 195 (illicit production and trafficking of narcotics) is charged for cross-entity or organized trafficking, with up to roughly 10–20 years for aggravated or organized forms (about 3–15 years base per secondary sources). Possession for personal use is a MISDEMEANOUR under entity or district public-order law — for example the Brčko Law on Public Order Art 31 (a fine of about €250–750), with Federation of BiH and Republika Srpska equivalents — not the felony track; but each entity's criminal code CAN pursue felony charges for cultivation, sale, or possession beyond personal-use quantities. There is NO uniform statutory gram threshold distinguishing personal use from intent to sell — it varies by entity — and the 2017 EUDA report notes the misdemeanour penalties do not vary by drug, recidivism or quantity. The exact article and range a person faces depends on WHERE in the country (Federation of BiH versus Republika Srpska versus Brčko) the offence occurs; Art 195 at state level is the anchor, and entity-level article numbers not confirmed here are not pinned.
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).

Georgia

Legal status: Not confirmed — status not individually verified; confirm with Georgia's authorities (Criminal Code Arts 260/265¹/273) / your embassy
Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Georgian sources (Criminal Code, 22 July 1999, as amended — July 2025, Arts 260/265¹/273; Code of Administrative Offences Art 45¹) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. In Georgia (Council of Europe member; death penalty abolished), the current (2025) law is hard. July 2025 amendments repealed Art 273¹ and extended Art 260 (narcotics) to cover cannabis, sharply re-criminalizing drug offences: illegal purchase or possession of more than 5 g of dried marijuana carries up to 6 years; 70–250 g dried carries 5–8 years; production or transport of those amounts carries 6–9 years; and selling ANY amount of ANY drug now carries 12 years to life imprisonment. Additional sanctions include up to a 5-year disqualification from driving, public service, teaching or educational activity, and legal practice. Art 260 covers illegal acquisition, possession, production or transport of narcotics (now including cannabis); Art 265¹ covers cultivation of narcotic plants; Art 273 covers personal use or keeping of small quantities (historically — partly voided by the 2017 Constitutional Court 'Shanidze' ruling that decriminalized cannabis consumption, then restructured in 2025). Small-quantity acquisition or possession is administrative under the Code of Administrative Offences Art 45¹ (a first offence is typically administrative; a repeat may become criminal). The 2017–18 liberalization of cannabis USE was largely reversed for possession and supply in July 2025 — the stale 'Georgia decriminalized cannabis' framing no longer holds.

Armenia

Legal status: Not confirmed — status not individually verified; confirm with Armenia's authorities (New Criminal Code Arts 393/394/402) / your embassy
Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Armenian sources (New Criminal Code, in force 1 July 2022, Arts 393/394/402; Law on Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. In Armenia (Council of Europe member; death penalty abolished 2003), drug offences fall under the NEW Criminal Code adopted on 15 June 2022 and in force since 1 July 2022 — pre-2022 article numbers are obsolete. Arts 393 and 394 cover illicit trafficking and circulation of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and precursors (sale and production), and Art 402 is a separate drug-circulation offence. Trafficking scales by quantity (roughly 5–15 years), rising to life imprisonment for the gravest aggravated, organized, online or minor-involving forms. The 2024–25 amendments toughened these: committing the act through information or communication technologies (online sale) is an aggravating circumstance (Part 2 of Arts 393/394/402), and committing it with the participation of a minor is particularly aggravating (Part 3 of Arts 393/394). Possession without intent to distribute is a lower criminal tier (about 1–3 years for minor possession); Armenia does NOT have clean statutory personal-use decriminalization — use and possession remain criminal at a lower tier (the 2003 reform cut user sentences but raised fines).
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).

Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Montenegrin sources (Criminal Code, Official Gazette 70/2003 consolidated through 110/2023, Art 300) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. In Montenegro (Council of Europe member; death penalty abolished), drugs fall under a single consolidated offence — Criminal Code Art 300 (unauthorised production, possession and distribution of narcotics). Production and distribution or trafficking carry roughly 2–15 years (reported by the US State Department INCSR; the exact per-paragraph Art 300(1)–(5) ranges are not individually pinned in the cited sources). Art 300(6) — unlawfully making, acquiring, possessing, transporting or supplying equipment, material or substances knowing they are intended for narcotics production — carries 6 months–5 years. Addiction-driven offenders may receive mandatory treatment (a security measure, maximum 3 years) alongside or in lieu of imprisonment. There is NO fixed statutory gram threshold for the personal-use versus supply line — possession is handled within Art 300, with treatment diversion available. Foreigners face expulsion (1–10 years or permanent).

Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Kazakhstani source (Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Code No. 226-V of 3 July 2014) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. In Kazakhstan, drug offences fall under the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan (Code No. 226-V of 3 July 2014). Possession of narcotic drugs for personal use without intent to supply is criminal but lower-tier — typically a fine, correctional labour, community service, or short-term arrest (up to about 40 days). Possession of large amounts, or possession or production with intent to supply, is punished far more heavily — roughly 5–8 years, rising to about 6–10 years or more for large quantities and aggravated or organized forms.

Cuba

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — Cuba lists 'Ketamina' on MINSAP Resolution 25/2022 (national list of substances with drug-like effects subject to control) and treats MDMA as a controlled substance, with criminal liability under the Penal Code (Law No. 151/2022). Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled detected component.
Consequences if caught: Trafficking and related offences are prosecuted under the Penal Code (Law No. 151/2022, e.g. the aggravated drug provisions of Art 235), with imprisonment set by whichever constituent is detected.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of the mixture; ketamine is a nationally controlled medicine used as an anaesthetic, while MDMA has no accepted medical use.
Documentation: Sold as a party powder of unknown makeup; because the blend varies batch to batch, buyers cannot know its constituents, so legal exposure under the Cuban Penal Code is unknowable at purchase.

Possession with intent to supply (s.22) carries a fine of up to B$500,000 or imprisonment of up to 30 years, or both; being found with two or more packets of cannabis raises a statutory presumption of intent to supply (s.22(3)). Trafficking and importation (s.29) bring forfeiture of the drugs (and associated property) to the Crown together with a fine and/or imprisonment. Simple possession is also an offence; enforcement is strict and applies equally to visitors.

In Lebanon, drugs fall under Act No. 673 of 16 March 1998 on Narcotic Drugs, Psychotropic Substances and Precursors ('Act 673/1998'). Drug trafficking carries life imprisonment — the statutory maximum. Use or possession for personal use is punished more lightly, up to about 6 months' imprisonment plus a fine, and Act 673/1998 (arts 182–190) establishes a divert-to-treatment route: prosecution can be suspended while the user completes State-provided treatment through a specialised committee, with the case dropped on successful completion. Enforcement in practice is uneven, and the treatment-diversion mechanism has been only partly implemented.

Maldives

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — the Maldives controls MDMA as a Schedule 1 drug under the Drugs Act (Act No. 17/2011), which reaches any preparation containing a controlled substance. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled component, so an MDMA-containing tusi sample is charged as a Schedule 1 offence.
Consequences if caught: An MDMA-positive mixture is a Schedule 1 offence where trafficking carries a mandatory 20-year term (up to life); drug offences under the Drugs Act are not death-eligible, so tusi does not carry a capital penalty here.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of the mixture; MDMA has no accepted medical use, and ketamine, where present, is a controlled medicine.
Documentation: Sold as a party powder of unknown makeup; because the blend varies batch to batch, buyers and travellers cannot know whether Schedule 1 MDMA is present, so mandatory long-imprisonment exposure is unknowable at purchase.

South Sudan

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — South Sudan controls MDMA under the Penal Code Act, 2008, which reaches any preparation containing a controlled substance. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled component, so an MDMA-containing tusi sample can carry capital exposure for high-level trafficking.
Consequences if caught: An MDMA-positive mixture engages the Penal Code Act 2008, where high-level/aggravated drug trafficking is a capital offence while lower-level offences and personal-use possession draw imprisonment.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of the mixture; MDMA has no accepted medical use, and ketamine, where present, is a controlled medicine.
Documentation: Sold as a party powder of unknown makeup; because the blend varies batch to batch, buyers and travellers cannot know whether death-eligible MDMA is present, so legal exposure under the Penal Code Act is unknowable at purchase.

North Korea

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — the DPRK controls MDMA under the Criminal Code (2013 revision and later amendments), which reaches serious drug production and trafficking. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled component, so an MDMA-containing tusi sample carries capital exposure.
Consequences if caught: An MDMA-positive mixture engages serious drug-production and trafficking provisions of the DPRK Criminal Code that are capital-eligible, with the death penalty available for grave offences.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of the mixture; MDMA has no accepted medical use, and ketamine, where present, would be a controlled medicine.
Documentation: Sold as a party powder of unknown makeup; because the blend varies batch to batch, buyers cannot know whether death-eligible MDMA is present, so capital-level legal exposure under the DPRK Criminal Code is unknowable at purchase.

State of Palestine

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — MDMA is a controlled substance under the applicable penal law in the State of Palestine, which reaches any preparation containing a controlled substance. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled component, so an MDMA-containing tusi sample can carry capital exposure in the Hamas-administered Gaza Strip.
Consequences if caught: An MDMA-positive mixture is a serious offence where, in the Gaza Strip, grave drug trafficking is capital-eligible (death sentences have been imposed); in the West Bank the PA framework applies imprisonment.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of the mixture; MDMA has no accepted medical use, and ketamine, where present, is a controlled medicine.
Documentation: Sold as a party powder of unknown makeup; because the blend varies batch to batch, buyers and travellers cannot know whether death-eligible MDMA is present, so legal exposure under the applicable penal law is unknowable at purchase.

Aceh (Indonesia)

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — Indonesia's national Narcotics Law No. 35 of 2009 applies in Aceh, listing MDMA as a Category I narcotic and ketamine as a non-narcotic controlled medicine, while Aceh's Qanun Jinayat does not cover narcotics. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled component, so an MDMA-containing tusi sample carries Category I capital exposure under the national law.
Consequences if caught: An MDMA-positive mixture is a Category I narcotics offence under Articles 111–127 of Law 35/2009, where organized or large-scale trafficking is death-eligible; a ketamine-only mixture is a lesser controlled-medicine offence.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of the mixture; ketamine is a controlled medicine, whereas MDMA is a Category I narcotic with no therapeutic use.
Documentation: Sold as a party powder of unknown makeup; because the blend varies batch to batch, buyers cannot know whether death-eligible MDMA is present, so capital-level legal exposure under the national narcotics law is unknowable at purchase.

Loading international legality & penalties…

Drug laws and enforcement change and vary by country. This is not legal advice. Always confirm with the destination’s embassy or official drug authority before traveling — penalties can be severe, including imprisonment.

Before you travel

Verify current rules with the destination country’s official drug authorityand your own country’s embassy before traveling. Find the destination’s U.S. embassy & official country guidance →
Non-U.S. travelers: check your own government’s travel advisory and embassy.

If you’re detained or arrested abroad

Contact your own country’s embassy or consulatein the destination immediately — notthe destination’s authorities. U.S. citizens: contact the nearest U.S. embassy/consulate and the U.S. State Department at +1-202-501-4444 (from abroad). If a U.S. citizen is arrested or detained abroad →

If it’s too intense

If an experience becomes overwhelming, the goal is to stay safe and let it pass — most difficult experiences ease as the drug wears off.

Get to a calm, safe space with someone you trust who is sober and can stay with you.
Cool down if you’re overheating — move somewhere cool, remove extra layers, rest. Overheating is especially a risk with stimulants and MDMA.
Sip water to thirst — but don’t over-hydrate. Drinking large amounts of plain water (especially after MDMA) can dangerously dilute your blood sodium (hyponatremia). Electrolytes help more than volume.
Slow your breathing — long, slow exhales help settle a racing heart and anxiety.
A sugary drink, fruit juice, or a snack can ease shakiness and the anxiety that comes with low blood sugar.
Do not take more, and do not add another substance to manage it. Redosing or adding something else (including a sedative like a benzodiazepine) can make things worse, not better.

Call 911 (or Poison Control, 1-800-222-1222) right away for chest pain, a very high body temperature, a seizure, unconsciousness, or severe confusion. These are medical emergencies, not something to wait out.

Effects, risks & interactions

Effects: Because tusi is usually a ketamine + MDMA combination, experiences blend dissociative effects (detachment, altered perception — ketamine) with entactogen/stimulant effects (emotional warmth, increased energy, sensory enhancement — MDMA). The actual experience is unpredictable because the mix and proportions differ between samples and are unknown to the buyer.NIDA + MedlinePlus ↗ · retrieved 2026-06-18
Risks: Key harm-reduction risks follow from the mixture itself: unknown potency, **unknown combination of active drugs**, and the combined physiological load of a dissociative plus a serotonergic stimulant (cardiovascular strain, overheating, and the dangers of unintended polydrug exposure). You cannot know what a given "tusi" sample contains without drug-checking.NIDA + MedlinePlus ↗ · retrieved 2026-06-18
