Is Delta-8-THC legal in Myanmar?
- Legal status
- Controlled — as a party to the 1971 Convention, Myanmar schedules tetrahydrocannabinols and their isomers under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Law 1993, so delta-8-THC (Δ8-THC) is caught as an isomer of THC; the specific national notification is left to confirmation. Distinct from cannabis, controlled under the same 1993 Law.
- Consequences if caught
- Illegal; user possession and trafficking penalties under the 1993 Law (imprisonment, mandatory treatment for users).
- If prescribed or medical
- No recognised medical use; delta-8-THC is not a prescribable medicine.
- Documentation
- No lawful personal import of a controlled tetrahydrocannabinol.
Drug laws and enforcement change and vary within a country. This is not legal advice. Always confirm with Myanmar’s embassy or official drug authority before traveling; penalties can be severe, including imprisonment.
