Is 25I-NBOMe legal in Sweden?
Also known as: n-bomb
- Legal status
- Controlled. 25I-NBOMe is named in Förteckning I of the Swedish narkotikaförteckningar, which are Läkemedelsverkets föreskrifter (LVFS 2011:10) om förteckningar över narkotika, made under 3 § förordningen (1992:1554) om kontroll av narkotika. The version read for this cell is the consolidated text, which states on its own first page that it contains amendments through HSLF-FS 2026:26. The row reads «25I-NBOMe 2-(4-jodo-2,5-dimetoxifenyl)-N-(2-metoxibensyl)etanamin», and its international column reads P I, which is Schedule I of the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances. Förteckning I is the tier for substances, plant material and fungi that normally have no medical use. The second name printed in the row is 2C-I-NBOMe. Nine NBOMe rows stand together at this point in the list and the neighbours were read to confirm the right one. This is the iodo row and not 25B, 25C, 25D, 25E, 25G, 25H, 25N or C30.
- Consequences if caught
- Capital exposure: none. Sweden has no death penalty for any offence, so no drug offence here carries capital exposure. The live cell recorded that possession, use and supply are criminal offences, that even personal use is punishable, and that supply and trafficking carry imprisonment.
- If prescribed or medical
- No accepted medical use and not available on prescription.
- Documentation
- The live cell recorded Council Implementing Decision 2014/688/EU of 25 September 2014, which subjected the substance to control across the European Union, and listing in Schedule I of the 1971 Convention in March 2015. The international column read here prints P I, which agrees.

- Quotations in guillemets are the row's printed tokens in column order. Line wraps inside a name are rejoined, and a hyphen that exists only because of the wrap is dropped. Any further name printed in the row is reported in prose rather than inside the quotation, because the two column layout interleaves it into the middle of the chemical name
