Is Amphetamine legal in Jordan?
- Legal status
- Controlled psychotropic. Amphetamine is a Schedule II substance under the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances, and Jordan files annual assessments with INCB accordingly. The domestic statute is the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Law No. 23 of 2016 (amended 2021); Jordan's official legislation bureau (gbd.gov.jo), the Jordan Food and Drug Administration (jfda.jo) and the Ministry of Health (moh.gov.jo) were all unreachable during this pass, so the schedule entry is not quoted from a Jordanian primary text.
- Consequences if caught
- NOT CONFIRMED from a primary source. The narrow-capital description previously carried here rested on an NGO overview rather than the statute, and has been withdrawn pending a reachable text of Law No. 23 of 2016.
- If prescribed or medical
- Assessed only at a token level - amphetamine is effectively not dispensed in Jordan. Jordan furnished INCB an amfetamine assessment of 6 g and a dexamfetamine assessment of 10 g for 2026, inside a 28-substance return that assesses methylphenidate at 25,000 g and diazepam at 40,000 g. A single-digit gram figure against that return is a registration formality, not a supply. Do not expect to fill an amphetamine prescription in Jordan.
- Documentation
- Jordan's regulator publishes the narcotics law and its controlled-medicine rules, but none of its hosts answered during this pass. Carry the prescription and original packaging and confirm before travel.
