Is Delta-8-THC legal in Brunei?
- Legal status
- Controlled — delta-8-THC (Δ8-THC) is caught as a tetrahydrocannabinol under the Misuse of Drugs Act (Cap. 27), which schedules cannabinol derivatives and tetrahydrocannabinols; delta-8 is controlled as an isomer of THC. Distinct from cannabis (mandatory death for trafficking above the plant-form presumption of 500 g). Those death thresholds are plant-form/weight specific, so the capital reach of a pure delta-8 isomer is left to confirmation.
- Consequences if caught
- Zero tolerance; possession and trafficking offences under Cap. 27, with mandatory death for trafficking above statutory quantities.
- If prescribed or medical
- No recognised medical use; delta-8-THC is not a prescribable medicine.
- Documentation
- No lawful personal import of a scheduled drug.
