Is 2-FDCK legal in Macau?

Legal status

Controlled in Macau. Law 17/2009 Table II-C, item 14, prints «2-氟脫氯氯胺酮 / 2-Fluorodeschloroketamine». The tables are read as amended through Law 12/2026, in force 18 August 2026. Trafficking: Article 8(1) and 8(2). Personal use: Article 14.

Consequences if caught

Capital exposure: none. The dossier records that Law 17/2009 has no death penalty provision in these offences. Trafficking: Article 8(1) sets 5 to 15 years of imprisonment for unauthorized trafficking of a substance in Tables I to III, and Article 8(2) sets 6 to 16 years for a licensed actor who violates the authorization. Personal use: Article 14(1) makes illicit consumption, and acquisition or possession for exclusively personal use, punishable by 3 months to 1 year of imprisonment or 60 to 240 day-fines, as alternatives. Article 10 raises the minimum and the maximum by one third in stated aggravating circumstances. Quantity: the daily reference table prints no figure for 2-FDCK, so the fivefold cross reference in Article 14 does not apply to it; Article 14(1) still penalises illicit personal use. The dossier states the trafficking band and the personal use band; it does not set out separate bands for import, export, sale, manufacture or cultivation, so this cell does not give them. The previous version of this cell, citing the Macau anti-drug and Judiciary Police portals, stated that Macau's maximum penalty for any offence is imprisonment capped at 30 years with no life term, and that Macau's criminal law is separate from mainland China's under the Basic Law. Carried forward from the previous cell, not re-read in this pass.

If prescribed or medical

The source this cell rests on, the Macau 88 substance legal dossier of 2 October 2026, does not state a prescription or medical carriage route for 2-FDCK.

Documentation

The dossier states that a table assignment identifies the statutory route and does not authorize possession, use, transport or trade. It states no traveller permit, import licence or carriage document for 2-FDCK, and none is given here. The dossier row for this substance carries no URL, so the instrument is cited by name. The dossier's own search for this row: Query: 2-氟-去氯愷他命; 2-Fluorodeschloroketamine; 2-FDCK. Inspected Macau Table I-A/I-B/I-C, II-A/II-B/II-C, III, IV, V and VI by Chinese name, Portuguese name and chemical structure; result: Table II-C, item 14: 2-氟脫氯氯胺酮 / 2-Fluorodeschloroketamine.

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