Is Adderall legal in Jordan?
- Legal status
- Controlled psychotropic. Adderall is mixed amphetamine salts with no separate Jordanian legal identity; it is reached through the amfetamine and dexamfetamine entries of Schedule II of the 1971 Convention, implemented domestically by the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Law No. 23 of 2016 (amended 2021). Jordan's legislation bureau, Food and Drug Administration and Ministry of Health hosts were all unreachable during this pass, so no Jordanian primary text is quoted.
- Consequences if caught
- NOT CONFIRMED from a primary source. The narrow-capital description previously carried here rested on an NGO overview and is withdrawn pending a reachable text of Law No. 23 of 2016.
- If prescribed or medical
- Effectively unavailable. Jordan's 2026 INCB dexamfetamine assessment is 10 g and its amfetamine assessment is 6 g, in a 28-substance return that assesses methylphenidate at 25,000 g. Jordan supplies ADHD treatment through methylphenidate, not through amphetamine salts: an Adderall prescription is very unlikely to be fillable there.
- Documentation
- Travellers on Adderall should plan around Jordan's methylphenidate-based supply and confirm import rules before travel.
