Is 2-FDCK legal in Canada?
- Legal status
- Controlled substance — the WHO ECDD (2023) lists Canada among jurisdictions controlling 2-FDCK under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA). Mechanism: national listing; exact CDSA schedule left to confirmation. (Ketamine itself is a CDSA Schedule I medicine, whereas 2-FDCK has no medical use.)
- Consequences if caught
- Handling a CDSA-controlled substance such as 2-FDCK carries criminal penalties for possession, trafficking and import/export.
- If prescribed or medical
- No medicinal or prescription status; 2-FDCK has no market authorisation as a drug in Canada.
- Documentation
- Import and purchase are offences; 2-FDCK is a Schedule II psychotropic under the 1971 Convention (in force 3 December 2024).
