Is 2-FDCK legal in Oman?

Also known as: 2-fluoroketamine

Legal status

Controlled, and outside the death penalty article. 2-FDCK is named in Group II, Table 2, serial 26 of the annex to the Law on Combating Narcotics and Psychotropic Substances issued by Royal Decree 67/2026, «- | 2-(2-fluorophenyl)-2-(methylamino)cyclohexan-1-one | 2- fluorodeschloroketamine | - | 26». The Group and Table numbers in this cell are taken from the locator column of the dossier; the serial is the last column of the quoted row.

Consequences if caught

Capital exposure: none for 2-FDCK. Article 37 of the Law on Combating Narcotics and Psychotropic Substances issued by Royal Decree 67/2026 carries death or life imprisonment, and death in six aggravations, but the dossier states its specified import, export, production and manufacture limb only for Group I Tables 1 to 4 and Group II Table 1, beside the cultivation of Group I Table 5 plants and stated precursor conduct. 2-FDCK is in Group II, Table 2, serial 26, so article 37 does not reach it, and for Group II Tables 2 to 4 the law states no death penalty and no life term. Conduct distinction. Article 40 is the article for these tables: trafficking carries five to ten years' imprisonment, and possession for personal use carries one to three years. The source read gives no fine under article 40. Article 41 separately sets three to seven years for possession with neither a trafficking nor a personal use purpose, but the source read ties article 41 to the higher tier tables and plants and does not say whether that limb reaches Group II Tables 2 to 4, so this page does not apply it. The source read does not say how bringing 2-FDCK into or out of the country is charged: it puts import and export in article 37 only for the higher tables, and it does not name the article for a Group II Table 2 to 4 substance. Neither article 37 nor article 40 states a drug quantity threshold, so the table and the purpose decide the band, not the weight.

If prescribed or medical

2-FDCK is a scheduled substance under the 2026 annex. The source read for this cell does not cover the law's licensing provisions, and it sets out no traveller allowance and no route by which a foreign prescription makes holding 2-FDCK lawful, so none is stated. Personal use is punished under article 40.

Documentation

No document in the source read makes carrying 2-FDCK into Oman lawful. 2-FDCK is a scheduled substance in Group II, Table 2, serial 26. Where the rule comes from. The law changed in September 2026. Royal Decree 67/2026 was issued on 3 September 2026. Its Article III repeals the Law on Combating Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances issued by Royal Decree 17/99, and its Article IV brings the decree, and with it the new law, into force on the day after its publication in the Official Gazette. Decree.om and the dossier this cell was authored from both record that publication as issue 1664 of 6 September 2026, so the law took effect on 7 September 2026. Article II keeps existing regulations and decisions running until replacements issue, «وإلى أن تصدر يستمر العمل باللوائح والقرارات القائمة، بما لا يتعارض مع أحكامه», so far as they do not conflict with its provisions. The decree's own articles were read in the text the Oman News Agency published on 3 September 2026. The attached law and its annex were read only through the verbatim quotations in the dossier dated 20 September 2026, because on 3 October 2026 qanoon.om served a Cloudflare challenge in place of the text, the web archive held no copy, and decree.om carried the decree's Articles I to IV and its Gazette reference but not the attached law, which it said would be uploaded shortly. Article 5 of the law, as that dossier quotes it, provides «يجوز بقرار من الوزير تعديل المجموعات الملحقة بهذا القانون بالحذف أو الإضافة أو تغيير النسب أو الكميات كلما اقتضت الضرورة ذلك», the Minister may by decision amend the annexed groups by deletion, by addition or by changing percentages or quantities whenever necessary. It takes the place of article 4 of the 1999 law, «يجوز بقرار من الوزير تعديل المجموعات الملحقة بهذا القانون بالحذف أو الإضافة أو تغيير النسب كلما اقتضت الظروف ذلك», which gave the same power without the word for quantities and with «الظروف», circumstances, where the 2026 text has «الضرورة», necessity. So a reading of the annex is a reading as of a date, and this one runs to 20 September 2026. Placement for 2-FDCK: Group II, Table 2, serial 26. Under the 1999 law this page recorded: in no table read. The 1999 placements in this cell are this page's earlier reading and are not printed in the quoted extract the dossier carries for this row.
