Legality · CBDCBD in North Macedonia: not individually verified
Not individually verified
We have not confirmed that CBD specifically is scheduled in North Macedonia, so this page gives no legal status. Publishing a guess here would be worse than publishing nothing. What we do know is the governing national drug law, below.
- What is on record
- Not confirmed. The classification lists were searched for CBD; kanabidiol across the narcotic, psychotropic and plant tables and through all 23 gazette pages including the signature page, and no printed entry was accepted. A delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol row is printed in the same lists at CAS 5957-75-5, and this source's own row for that isomer is at odds with itself: its search record says a tetrahydrocannabinol entry was accepted, while its quotation column prints a delta-8 specific name and a delta-8 specific registry number. Whether the lists carry a generic tetrahydrocannabinol limb or only that one isomer is the question that decides this row, and the source does not settle it. The search also ran on the Macedonian transliteration of cannabidiol and returned no printed row. The version read is the classification list published at Службен весник на РСМ бр. 104/2021, read as at 20 September 2026. The power that moves that list is член 21 став 2 of Закон за контрола на опојни дроги и психотропни супстанции, under which the minister of health adopts the lists, so the list can be replaced without the statute changing, and a later amendment is not ruled out by this reading.

Controlled in North Macedonia. The classification list made under the control Act prints a row for cannabis as a plant entry, under the Macedonian locator Канабис (растение), keyed to CAS 8063-14-7. The list, and not the criminal article, is what owns the substance name, so the placement is read off the list and the offence is read off the code. This is the plant limb of the lists doing its work, and two other plant rows of this table were left unsettled precisely because that limb was not shown to name them: the Amanita muscaria row and the Salvia divinorum row. The version read is the classification list published at Службен весник на РСМ бр. 104/2021, read as at 20 September 2026. The power that moves that list is член 21 став 2 of Закон за контрола на опојни дроги и психотропни супстанции, under which the minister of health adopts the lists, so the list can be replaced without the statute changing, and a later amendment is not ruled out by this reading.

Controlled in North Macedonia. The classification list made under the control Act prints a row for delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol, under the Macedonian locator делта-8-тетрахидроканабинол, keyed to CAS 5957-75-5. The list, and not the criminal article, is what owns the substance name, so the placement is read off the list and the offence is read off the code. Four other rows turn on what this row is. Cannabidiol, cannabinol, HHC and THC-P were each left unsettled because the reading does not establish whether the lists carry a generic tetrahydrocannabinol limb or this one isomer alone, and this row's own columns disagree about which was accepted. The version read is the classification list published at Службен весник на РСМ бр. 104/2021, read as at 20 September 2026. The power that moves that list is член 21 став 2 of Закон за контрола на опојни дроги и психотропни супстанции, under which the minister of health adopts the lists, so the list can be replaced without the statute changing, and a later amendment is not ruled out by this reading.

Not applicable as a class status. The search ran on синтетички канабиноиди; JWH-018; AM-2201 in the classification lists. The family label covers many different structures, so it was stopped as a family label rather than carried through the list as one molecule. The two compounds the source names as examples have no rows of their own in this table, so neither the class label nor its named examples can be resolved here, and the class cannot be closed from what was read. The version read is the classification list published at Службен весник на РСМ бр. 104/2021, read as at 20 September 2026. The power that moves that list is член 21 став 2 of Закон за контрола на опојни дроги и психотропни супстанции, under which the minister of health adopts the lists, so the list can be replaced without the statute changing, and a later amendment is not ruled out by this reading.
