Is Adderall legal in Syria?
- Legal status
- Controlled psychotropic. Adderall is mixed amphetamine salts, reached through the amfetamine and dexamfetamine entries of Schedule II of the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances. Syria's domestic statute is Narcotics Law No. 2 of 1993; no official Syrian publication of its text was reachable during this pass and it is not carried on UNODC SHERLOC.
- Consequences if caught
- NOT CONFIRMED from a primary source. The Article 39 capital description previously carried here came from an NGO overview and is withdrawn. Note that the substance Syria is internationally associated with is fenetylline (Captagon), a distinct 1971 Convention entry, not Adderall.
- If prescribed or medical
- Prescription availability NOT CONFIRMED. Syria furnished INCB no dexamfetamine and no amfetamine assessment for 2026, in a 13-substance return that does assess methylphenidate at 15,000 g. There is no recorded licit Adderall supply.
- Documentation
- Carry documentation for any controlled medicine and confirm before travel; enforcement practice is opaque during the political transition.
