Is Delta-8-THC legal in Yemen?

Also known as: d8

Legal status

Controlled, delta-8-THC (Δ8-THC) is caught as a tetrahydrocannabinol under Law No. 3 of 1993 on narcotics and psychotropic substances, which schedules cannabis and THC; delta-8 is controlled as an isomer of THC. Distinct from cannabis, prohibited (death or 25 years for trafficking/cultivation with intent, Art. 34). The capital reach of a pure delta-8 isomer is left to confirmation.

Consequences if caught

Capital exposure: not established for this substance. Yemen retains the death penalty for drug offences, under the national narcotics law, for trafficking, and that much is established here. What is not established is this substance's own position under it: the source read here gives neither the article that would carry it nor any quantity at which it would apply. No threshold is stated in this cell because none was established. Do not read the absence of a figure as a safe amount. The country level position is the one to act on, and the substance specific position has to be settled against the current instrument.

If prescribed or medical

No recognised medical use; delta-8-THC is not a prescribable medicine.

Documentation
