Is Adderall legal in Moldova?

Legal status

Adderall is controlled in Moldova, and the control rests on a printed entry rather than on an inference. The operative names are carried by Hotărârea Guvernului nr. 79 din 23 ianuarie 2006, the government decision that approves the list of narcotic and psychotropic substances and of the plants containing them together with their quantities, made under the framework statute Legea nr. 382/1999 cu privire la circulaţia substanţelor stupefiante, psihotrope şi a precursorilor. The printed row relied on is «AMPHETAMINE», identified by CAS 300-62-9, and the repair holds it as record MOL-14. The terms searched at decision time were "Adderall", "amfetamin", "deksamfetamin", and the record states that the printed row was opened, its list heading checked, and the row itself accepted rather than the empowering words that approve the lists. This is a brand tested through its active, and the row the record opened is spelled in the English form while the amphetamine row of the same repair opened a Romanian spelled entry carrying the identical registry number. The repair does not say which spelling the decision actually prints, and that tension is stated here and in the amphetamine cell rather than resolved in either. The criminal code supplies the offence and the ceiling, while the decision, not the offence article, owns the entry. Read against the official consolidated record of the decision on 20 September 2026, with the first and final annex headings and the final available amendment page checked; a later amendment can move an entry and has to be rechecked before anyone relies on this.

Consequences if caught

Capital exposure: none. Moldova provides no death penalty for a drug offence, and Article 217¹ of the Codul penal does not provide life imprisonment either, so the top of the scale is a term of years. The ceiling is fifteen years under Article 217¹(4). There is no lawful personal use allowance in Moldova. Hotărârea Guvernului nr. 79/2006 assigns substance specific quantity bands which the criminal provisions then use, and a band is not a permission to possess. The band that governs this row is the one the decision prints against «AMPHETAMINE», and record MOL-14 attaches it to this molecule because CAS 300-62-9 fixes the identity rather than the spelling. The repair did not transcribe the printed small, large and especially large figures for this row, so those numbers have to be read off the decision itself and are deliberately not stated here. The article that applies then follows the band, which is why the figure and the article have to be read together rather than either alone. [Likely] Carried forward from the published entry and not re-derived from statute in this pass: The ceiling is 15 years.

If prescribed or medical

Moldova states its traveller rule at country level rather than substance by substance. A scheduled medicine has to satisfy Legea nr. 1409/1997 cu privire la medicamente together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules, and a criminal quantity band under Hotărârea Guvernului nr. 79/2006 is not a lawful traveller allowance. This row's placement is the printed entry «AMPHETAMINE» at CAS 300-62-9, held as record MOL-14, so anything carried under that identity sits inside the control regime and the medicines law applies on top of it rather than instead of it. The repair records no route written about this substance in particular, and none is invented here. Whether a Moldovan prescription can lawfully be issued for it, and on what conditions, is a question for the Moldovan medicines authority and is not answered by the schedule placement above.

Documentation

Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging, keep the two together, and get the position confirmed in writing by the Moldovan medicines authority or the relevant embassy before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer and it is short because the repair found no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance written about this substance, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. Provenance follows. The controlling text is Hotărârea Guvernului nr. 79/2006, read in the official consolidated record on 20 September 2026 through the legislation portal legis.md, with the first and final annex headings and the final available amendment page checked. The printed entry relied on for this row is «AMPHETAMINE» at CAS 300-62-9, held as record MOL-14, and the terms searched were "Adderall", "amfetamin", "deksamfetamin". A later amendment can move that entry, so recheck it before publication or before travel.

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