Legality · CBDCBD in Peru: not individually verified
Not individually verified
We have not confirmed that CBD specifically is scheduled in Peru, 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. This substance is not carried by Peru's controlling schedule under any name the search reached. Anexo N. 2 of the Reglamento approved by Decreto Supremo 023-2001-SA runs to 244 numbered entries across Listas I A, I B, II A, II B, III A, III B, III C, IV A, IV B, V and VI, and none of them is this substance. The search was run over Anexo N. 2 under cannabidiol, canabidiol and CBD. The cannabis entries at Lista II A item 12 and Lista IV A item 17 read Cannabis, resinas y aceites esenciales, and the catalogue footnotes the Lista II A entry, though not the Lista IV A entry, to Decreto Supremo 005-2019-SA, the Reglamento of Ley 30681 on medicinal and therapeutic cannabis. Cannabidiol is not separately named in any of the 244 entries. The reading was taken from the DIGEMID Catalogo de Sustancias Controladas marked NOVIEMBRE_2024_V1 and cross read against the DIGEMID publication of the same Anexo dated 2021, which is a text only file carrying no images at all. The two publications agree on every list, on the entry at every item number and on the count, and the numbering runs continuously from 1 with no gap in any of the eleven lists, so the absence is taken from a listing read to its end rather than from a truncated one. Matching was anchored at the start of the entry name and every anchored hit was read in full before it was allowed to become a placement. The convention limb, under article 2 of the Reglamento and article 14.1 of Decreto Legislativo 1241, was run again in this run and does not reach it: the substance is named in neither the 1971 Convention schedules, read in the INCB Green List 36th edition of 2025, nor the 1961 Convention schedules, read in the INCB Yellow List 65th edition of July 2026, both searched with line breaks and hyphens collapsed so that a name split across two lines is still found. The listing read is Anexo N. 2 of the Reglamento approved by Decreto Supremo 023-2001-SA, in the Catalogo de Sustancias Controladas published by the Direccion General de Medicamentos, Insumos y Drogas and marked NOVIEMBRE_2024_V1, which is the version this row was settled against as at 21 September 2026. Article 86 of Decreto Ley 22095 and the closing provisions of that Decreto Ley let the annexed lists be altered by Resolucion Suprema, so reading that version does not rule out a later list. Article 2 of the Reglamento states three limbs: it comprises the substances in the Listas of Decreto Ley 22095, the connected lists of the international conventions incorporated into domestic law, and the substances that may be included under article 86 of that Decreto Ley and article 61 of the Ley General de Salud, and it then says that los listados correspondientes aparecen en el Anexo N. 2. The rule applied across this country set follows those words: where Anexo N. 2 carries an entry its band governs and supersedes the older one, and where Anexo N. 2 is silent the Decreto Ley 22095 annex and the incorporated convention lists can still bring a substance within article 2, so silence in the published catalogue is a gap in it rather than a de-control. Because Anexo N. 2 does not reach this substance and no other Peruvian instrument read in the 21 September 2026 pass places it, the row is unresolved rather than permitted. Absence from the sanitary schedule is not a statement that the substance may be carried or used, and the position under customs, medicines registration and consumer law was not examined here. This run, on 3 October 2026, searched an instrument the previous pass did not reach. Article 14.3 of Decreto Legislativo 1241, as replaced by article 2 of Decreto Legislativo 1592 published on 14 December 2023, provides that "La lista de Nuevas Sustancias Psicoactivas se aprueba mediante Resolución Ministerial del Ministerio del Interior" and that "Las actividades ilegales relacionadas con las citadas sustancias, se encuentran sancionadas". Resolucion Ministerial 0804-2026-IN of 17 June 2026, published in El Peruano on 18 June 2026, approves the "Lista de Nuevas Sustancias Psicoactivas (NSP)" as its annex, which runs to 736 numbered items followed by three named groups: alkyl nitrites, the genera of hallucinogenic mushrooms, and three plant species. Section I of the annex provides that the list "incluye sus análogos, sales, isómeros, ésteres, éteres, precursores, mezclas entre ellas o con otro tipo de sustancias, incluyendo los compuestos derivados", and it calls its detailed list its own Anexo 2; that is not Anexo N. 2 of the Reglamento, which is what Anexo N. 2 means everywhere in this cell. Its 736 numbered items and its closing groups were searched in Spanish, against the page images where the extracted text was doubtful, under cannabidiol, canabidiol and CBD, and none of them is this substance. The annex also defines a nueva sustancia psicoactiva as any substance that produces a psychoactive effect by stimulating or depressing the central nervous system; that definition names no substance, and applying it to place this row would be an inference rather than a placement, so it is not applied. Both the Anexo N. 2 catalogue and the list of nuevas sustancias psicoactivas are read as at 3 October 2026, and article 14.3 of Decreto Legislativo 1241 lets the latter be updated by the same procedure that approved it, so this reading does not rule out a later list.

This substance is carried by Peru's controlling schedule. Anexo N. 2 of the Reglamento approved by Decreto Supremo 023-2001-SA carries it at Lista II A item 12 and Lista IV A item 17, each of which prints Cannabis, resinas y aceites esenciales, and what the list prints is the operative text rather than any chemical resemblance to it. The search was run over Anexo N. 2 under cannabis, canabis, marihuana, cannabis sativa and tetrahidrocannabinoles. The substance sits on a list the Reglamento allows to be prescribed and dispensed under control rather than on the prohibited Lista I A or Lista I B. The listing read is Anexo N. 2 of the Reglamento approved by Decreto Supremo 023-2001-SA, in the Catalogo de Sustancias Controladas published by the Direccion General de Medicamentos, Insumos y Drogas and marked NOVIEMBRE_2024_V1, which is the version this row was settled against as at 21 September 2026. Article 86 of Decreto Ley 22095 and the closing provisions of that Decreto Ley let the annexed lists be altered by Resolucion Suprema, so reading that version does not rule out a later list. Placement decides only that the substance is controlled; the criminal classification still turns on the conduct and on whether it was authorised. The convention limb of article 2 reaches it as well: the 1961 Convention Schedule I carries this substance at code NC 001, printed CANNABIS, read in the INCB list this pass, so the placement does not stand on the domestic catalogue alone. The band has moved. The 1978 annex to Decreto Ley 22095 carried Cannabis in Lista I A, the band article 2 of the Reglamento puts beyond use altogether, and Anexo N. 2 now carries it in Lista II A, a dispensable band, which is consistent with Ley 30681 of 2017 and its Reglamento approved by Decreto Supremo 005-2019-SA. The later published listing is taken as governing.

This substance is carried by Peru's controlling schedule through a class entry rather than by its own name. Anexo N. 2 of the Reglamento approved by Decreto Supremo 023-2001-SA carries Tetrahidrocannabinoles, isomeros y variantes estereoquimicas at Lista II A item 13, and the substance on this row is an isomer of tetrahydrocannabinol, which the entry names expressly. The search was run over Anexo N. 2 under delta-8-tetrahidrocannabinol, delta-8-THC, tetrahidrocannabinoles and tetrahidrocannabinol. No entry anywhere in the 244 prints this substance by its own name, so what is relied on is the class wording and not a named designation. On the face of that wording the capture is plain. The convention limb of article 2 reaches it as well: the 1971 Convention Schedule I carries this substance at code PT 002, printed TETRAHYDROCANNABINOL, read in the INCB list this pass, so the placement does not stand on the domestic catalogue alone. The listing read is Anexo N. 2 of the Reglamento approved by Decreto Supremo 023-2001-SA, in the Catalogo de Sustancias Controladas published by the Direccion General de Medicamentos, Insumos y Drogas and marked NOVIEMBRE_2024_V1, which is the version this row was settled against as at 21 September 2026.

This row has no named entry · it is reached, if at all, by the class entry Tetrahidrocannabinoles, isomeros y variantes estereoquimicas at Lista II A item 13, and the capture is plain. · Verified October 4, 2026
This row is an open class label rather than a substance. It covers several hundred distinct compounds across chemically unrelated families, and Peru's schedule reaches none of them: no entry among the 244 in Anexo N. 2 names a synthetic cannabinoid, and the only cannabinoid wording in the whole listing is Tetrahidrocannabinoles, isomeros y variantes estereoquimicas at Lista II A item 13, which describes the tetrahydrocannabinols and does not amount to a group rule for synthetic agonists of a different chemistry. There is no analogue clause and no generic definition in Anexo N. 2 that would take the class as a class. The search was run over Anexo N. 2 under cannabinoide sintetico, JWH and sintetico. The convention limb of article 2 was run for this row as well and does not reach it: the substance is named in neither the 1971 Convention schedules nor the 1961 Convention schedules, read in the INCB Green List of 2025 and the Yellow List 64th edition of July 2025. A single answer for the label would therefore be wrong whichever way it was given, so this row is resolved as a label and routed to its constituents rather than given a placement. The listing read is Anexo N. 2 of the Reglamento approved by Decreto Supremo 023-2001-SA, in the Catalogo de Sustancias Controladas published by the Direccion General de Medicamentos, Insumos y Drogas and marked NOVIEMBRE_2024_V1, which is the version this row was settled against as at 21 September 2026. Article 86 of Decreto Ley 22095 and the closing provisions of that Decreto Ley let the annexed lists be altered by Resolucion Suprema, so reading that version does not rule out a later list.
