Is Adderall legal in Belarus?
- Legal status
- Adderall is controlled in Belarus. The annexes to Постановление Министерства здравоохранения № 19 от 11 февраля 2015 г. республиканский перечень print the entry «AMPHETAMINE» in Latin script, and registry number 300-62-9 is what fixes which molecule that entry catches. The brand was tested through its constituent rather than treated as a molecule, and the row accepted prints «AMPHETAMINE» in Latin at registry number 300-62-9. That registry number is the same one the amphetamine row carries, but that row records the entry as Cyrillic «АМФЕТАМИН». One annex cannot print the same substance under two scripts at once, and the source does not settle which form is on the page. The terms taken to the annexes were "Adderall", "amfetamin", "deksamfetamin", and the row accepted was the printed entry itself rather than the paragraph that establishes the list, because the schedule owns the substance entries and the offence article does not. The version read was № 19/2015 with the official 2025 and 10 March 2026 amendments, record BEL-14.
- Consequences if caught
- Capital exposure: none. Belarus retains capital punishment in its general criminal law, and that is a separate question from what a drug offence carries. Criminal Code Article 328 provides neither the death penalty nor life imprisonment, so a term of years is the whole of the drug scale here. The figure itself is disputed and the dispute is stated rather than hidden: this repair reads Article 328(5) as a twenty year ceiling, the cell it replaces read the same paragraph as twelve to twenty five years, and the sources reachable here do not settle which reading is right. The earlier cell also framed the offence as articles 327 to 328 with a superscript one, a range this repair does not mention at all, so treat the article range as well as the figure as open. That term of years attaches to an offence in a listed substance, and this row is listed: the annex prints «AMPHETAMINE» at registry number 300-62-9, record BEL-14. Belarus sets no lawful personal use allowance, so the size bands in the statute and the subordinate law are what decide which part of Article 328 is engaged, and they are read against this printed entry and not against a family name. An amount below every criminal band can still draw administrative or other liability, which is why there is no quantity in this cell that can be treated as safe. The band is read against the amphetamine entry, because the product is reached through its constituent and not as a brand. Which script that entry is printed in is disputed between two rows of this dossier, and while that dispute does not change the exposure it does change what a search of the annexes has to look for.
- If prescribed or medical
- The traveller rule is stated at country level and it is the same for every substance in this set: Belarus provides no lawful personal use allowance and no traveller exemption, and a scheduled medicine has to satisfy Закон Республики Беларусь «О лекарственных средствах» as well as the narcotics annexes, meaning prescription, original packaging, and import and customs formalities. This row's placement is the printed entry «AMPHETAMINE» in the республиканский перечень, record BEL-14, so any medicinal route runs through that placement. A criminal quantity band is not a lawful traveller allowance. The source states no medical route specific to Adderall and none is supplied here. The placement to attach is the amphetamine entry, because the product is reached through its constituent, and a brand name is not a placement in this list. The dispute in this dossier about which script that entry is printed in does not change the placement, only how it is found.
- Documentation
- Carry it only with the Belarusian prescription and dispensing paperwork the medicines law requires, in the original dispensing packaging, with the substance named on any declaration the way the annex names it, «AMPHETAMINE», and with registry number 300-62-9 available if the name is queried. The placement at BEL-14 was read against № 19/2015 with the official 2025 and 10 March 2026 amendments on 20 September 2026. A later amendment can change an entry, so recheck the annexes before travel rather than relying on the date on this cell. Do not write the brand name on a declaration. Write the constituent as the annex names it together with the registry number, because a brand name is not an entry in this list.
