Is Crack Cocaine legal in Ukraine?

Legal status

Controlled in Ukraine, and controlled as the same substance rather than as a separate one. Record UKR-32 resolves this street form onto the printed heading «Кокаїн» at CAS 50-36-2 in Постанова № 770, таблиці I to IV, consolidated text read on 20 September 2026, which is the same heading record UKR-30 accepts for the alkaloid itself. The point of the row is that Ukraine does not schedule a preparation under its street name: the base and the salt are the same molecule and the list reaches both through one heading in sentence case here because the list prints in capitals. Nothing in this source suggests a separate heading, a separate table or an aggravating limb for the smokeable form, and none is asserted.

Consequences if caught

Capital exposure: none. Ukraine has no death penalty. The trade article the source names is Кримінальний кодекс України, стаття 307, twelve years of imprisonment at the ceiling of its third part, no life sentence in the article. Because the material resolves onto the heading at CAS 50-36-2, наказ МОЗ № 188 supplies the bands through that heading and the grading question becomes a weight and purity question rather than a question about the form. Whether the band is applied to the whole rock or to the assayed base is exactly the point this source does not address, so no figure and no method of calculation is stated here. No separate possession article is named. Separately from that, and carried forward from this site's published Ukraine entry rather than re-derived from the Code in this pass, the published penalties are these. Personal use of a small amount is administrative under article 44 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, a fine of 25 to 50 tax free minimum incomes, 20 to 60 hours of community service, or administrative arrest of up to 15 days. Above small, personal use under article 309 is criminal, a fine, correctional labour of up to two years, or restriction of liberty of up to five years, rising to up to three years where aggravated or large and up to eight years where a minor is involved. Trafficking or sale under article 307 draws four to twelve years with property forfeiture. Smuggling under article 305 draws five to eight years, and up to eight to ten years aggravated. The published entry records the small, large and especially large quantity thresholds as very low, and that trace amounts have triggered article 309. Drug use itself, other than in public, is not criminal there. Every figure in this paragraph is a penalty range or a fine and none of them is a quantity threshold. They describe the offences that this row's placement in the Ukrainian list brings into play.

If prescribed or medical

Ukraine allows no personal use quantity, наказ МОЗ № 188 grades criminal conduct rather than licensing a traveller, and a scheduled medicine must also satisfy Закон України «Про лікарські засоби» on prescription, packaging, import and customs. On this row the placement is the heading at CAS 50-36-2 reached through record UKR-32. There is no medicinal product in this form and therefore no prescription question at all: a free base prepared for smoking is not a pharmaceutical presentation anywhere. No import permit, allowance or foreign prescription rule was established here, and none was researched.

Documentation

Carry nothing in reliance on this row, because there is no lawful carriage of this material and no document that makes it lawful. The entry exists so that a reader is not told a street form is unlisted merely because the list does not print its street name: the substance is reached at CAS 50-36-2. A traveller carrying a prescribed medicine that has been mistaken for it should carry the dispensing pack, the pharmacy label in the patient's name, the prescription and a prescriber's letter naming the ingredient, strength, dose and treatment period. The heading was read on 20 September 2026.

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