25I-NBOMe in Tonga: not individually verified

Also known as: n-bomb

We have not confirmed that 25I-NBOMe specifically is scheduled in Tonga, so this page gives no legal status. Publishing a guess here would be worse than publishing nothing. What we do know is the governing national drug law, below.

What is on record

Not confirmed. 25I-NBOMe (2-(4-iodo-2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-N-(2-methoxybenzyl)ethanamine) is not named in Schedule 1 under either name. Its usual synthetic precursor, 2C-I (4-iodo-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine), is also not named in Schedule 1 (see the separate finding for 2C-I), so the analogue drugs clause inserted by the Illicit Drugs Control (Amendment) Act 2020, Act 15 of 2020, section 2(a), cannot reach 25I-NBOMe through 2C-I: the clause reaches a structure modification "of an illicit drug or controlled chemical", and chaining an unnamed intermediate onto a named one is not that. No other Schedule 1 entry, including the DOx series entry "STP, DOM" or "Brolamphetainine" (brolamfetamine, DOB), shares the N-(2-methoxybenzyl)phenethylamine structure closely enough to state a single step relationship. Two further amending Acts dated 2024 could not be retrieved this session (see documentation); if either added 25I-NBOMe, an NBOMe class entry, or a fitting anchor, that is not verified here. Schedule 1 is amended by Act of the Legislative Assembly; the cached text is the 2020 Revised Edition, consolidated to 31 October 2020. The Illicit Drugs Control (Amendment) Act 2020, Act 15 of 2020, assented 26 November 2020, and the Illicit Drugs Control (Amendment) Act 2021, Act 19 of 2021, were each fetched and read separately this session; both post-date the Revised Edition's own cutoff and neither amends Schedule 1 itself, only sections 2 to 5. Section 2's definition of "illicit drug" also reaches "anything prescribed by regulation to be an illicit drug", a delegated power; no regulation made under it was searched this session, so whether that power has been exercised is not verified. This absence is stated current as of the 2020 Revised Edition and does not rule out a later Schedule 1 amendment, an unlocated regulation under that delegated power, or either of the two 2024 Acts that could not be retrieved this session.

Confirm directly with Tonga’s national drug authority or your own embassy before you rely on anything.
