Is 2-FDCK legal in Bosnia and Herzegovina?
- Legal status
- Controlled. The list attached to the 2006 Law, as consolidated through Official Gazette 56/26 with the remifentanil move at 58/26 carries an entry for this substance in its Tables I to III, printed as «2-fluorodeshlorketamin». The entry is a systematic chemical name rather than the street code, so the identity that has to be proved is the molecule and not the abbreviation used to sell it. Which of the three tables the entry sits in is not recorded in the source, so anything that turns on the table rather than on the listing is not pinned here. The list was read as at 20 September 2026, and reading it on that date does not rule out a later amendment.
- Consequences if caught
- Capital exposure: none. Criminal law in Bosnia and Herzegovina runs at state, entity and Brčko District level at once, and the sources read do not establish which code governs a given case: they name the applicable entity or Brčko criminal code without choosing between them, and the only code actually read is the Federation one, where drug trafficking sits at article 238 and the fixed-term ceiling is article 43, «Kazna zatvora ne može biti kraća od trideset dana ni duža od dvadeset godina.», thirty days at the bottom and twenty years at the top. Where in the country the conduct happens is therefore the first thing that has to be settled, and this answer does not settle it. A laboratory report that returns the systematic name matches the entry directly; one that returns only the trade abbreviation has to be tied to it first. No quantity band applies on this record: a separate quantity instrument was searched alongside the list and returned no entry for this substance, so nothing in the national material read converts a weight into a tier. The penalty detail that follows is carried forward from this substance's own published entry on 2cb.com and was not re-derived from statute text in this pass, so it is reported as carried forward rather than asserted here: state-level Criminal Code article 195, illicit production and trafficking of narcotics, is charged for cross-entity or organized trafficking, with up to roughly 10 to 20 years for aggravated or organized forms and about 3 to 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 article 31, a fine of about €250 to €750, with Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Republika Srpska equivalents, rather than the felony track, but each entity's criminal code can pursue felony charges for cultivation, sale, or possession beyond personal-use quantities; and the 2017 EUDA report notes the misdemeanour penalties do not vary by drug, recidivism or quantity. That published entry also states that the exact article and range a person faces depends on where in the country the offence occurs, Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina versus Republika Srpska versus Brčko, that article 195 at state level is the anchor, and that entity-level article numbers not confirmed there are not pinned. Every figure in that carried-forward detail is a penalty range or a fine and not one of them is a quantity threshold: the published entry itself says there is no uniform statutory gram threshold distinguishing personal use from intent to sell and that it varies by entity, which is the same absence recorded above and not a contradiction of it.
- If prescribed or medical
- No traveller rule for Bosnia and Herzegovina is stated in the sources read at all, so the medical route is deferred here rather than described: nothing in the material read says what a visitor must hold to bring a controlled medicine in, who authorises it, or whether a foreign prescription counts. What is settled is this substance's placement, and it is this: the list prints the systematic name of this molecule, so a preparation whose stated active ingredient is that molecule is a controlled medicine, while the entry says nothing about salts or about a finished dosage form. Do not read a placement as a medical permission, and do not read the missing rule as the absence of one.
- Documentation
- Carry nothing on the assumption that an unusual abbreviation puts a substance outside a list that schedules by systematic name. The reading behind this answer was made on 20 September 2026 against the list attached to the 2006 Law, as consolidated through Official Gazette 56/26 with the remifentanil move at 58/26, and that date is the whole horizon of the claim: a later amendment is not ruled out. Because the no traveller rule is stated, the documents to carry for any controlled medicine are not listed in the material read and have to be settled with the authorities before travel.
