Is Adderall legal in Armenia?

Legal status

Controlled in Armenia. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, prints the entry «AMPHETAMINE», and record ARM-14 matches it to Adderall on Chemical Abstracts number 300-62-9. The row relied on is that printed line and not point 1 of the decision, which only directs that the list be approved and names no substance. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The terms this row was searched under were «Adderall», «amfetamin» and «deksamfetamin», all of them Latin script, and this is one of only two accepted entries in the whole dossier that the annex prints in Latin letters alone, so a Latin search could reach this line where for 39 other accepted entries it could not. Adderall is a brand and not a molecule, so the dossier tested it through amphetamine and accepted the amphetamine line. That creates a tension this cell names and does not settle. The line quoted here is «AMPHETAMINE» in Latin capitals, while the amphetamine row of the same dossier quotes «Ամֆետամին» in Armenian script, and the two carry the identical Chemical Abstracts number 300-62-9. One list does not print one substance twice in two scripts as two separate quotations, so at least one of the two quotations is not a verbatim reading of the annex. The dossier does not say which, and nothing here decides it.

Consequences if caught

Capital exposure: none. Armenia has abolished the death penalty and Article 393 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia provides no life sentence for a drug offence, so the real exposure is a term of years. The ceiling is 12 years' imprisonment under Article 393(3), and Article 393(4) to (6) measures the significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, so the band rather than the raw weight is what the article prices. The placement is the printed annex line «AMPHETAMINE», record ARM-14. Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance beneath that placement. This pass carries no printed small amount figure for it, so the number those bands multiply is not stated here and no band can be computed from this cell. The exposure follows the amphetamine entry and not the brand, and a mixed amphetamine salts product is reached through its active constituent.

If prescribed or medical

Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for Adderall is the printed annex line «AMPHETAMINE», at controlled lists 1 to 4, record ARM-14. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry must name the active and not the brand, because the annex has no brand line and a question about a trade name can be answered truthfully with a no that means nothing.

Documentation

Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing Adderall, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border. The placement carried against is the printed annex line «AMPHETAMINE», record ARM-14, Chemical Abstracts number 300-62-9. It was read on 20 September 2026 against the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The paperwork must name the active ingredient, because a letter naming only the brand describes nothing the annex contains.

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