Legal status in Denmark
Per-substance legal status for Denmark, from sourced statutes where available. Legal information, not legal advice — drug laws change; confirm with the destination’s embassy or drug authority before you travel.
1P-LSD
- Legal status
- Not confirmed — status not individually verified; confirm with Denmark's authorities (Euphoriant Substances Act) / your embassy
- Consequences if caught
- This specific substance was not named in the cited Danish sources (Euphoriant Substances Act 1955, as amended; Criminal Code §191) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. List A substances are the most restricted; possession is criminal and serious trafficking carries up to 16 years.
- If prescribed / medical
- If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).
- Documentation
- Cannabis is List A (the most restricted category, alongside heroin and LSD). Possession and use are criminal; a small personal amount (up to ~9.9 g cannabis) draws a fixed fine (~DKK 2,000 / €70 first offence) via a simplified penalty notice with no court, but it remains a criminal offence that leaves a record (a warning is possible for drug-dependent persons). Penalties run up to 2 years under the Euphoriants Act; serious/large-scale trafficking (e.g. ≥10 kg) under Criminal Code §191, up to 16 years. A medical cannabis programme has been PERMANENT since 1 January 2026 (prescription, licensed pharmacies); CBD ≤0.2% THC sits outside the euphoriant rules but is often regulated as a medicine. OUTDATED-REPUTATION WARNING: the Christiania/Pusher Street open cannabis market was DISMANTLED in April 2024 — it is NOT a legal or tolerated market, and buying there carries the same (or, in designated zones, doubled) penalties. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

- Cannabis is List A (the most restricted category, alongside heroin and LSD). Possession and use are criminal; a small personal amount (up to ~9.9 g cannabis) draws a fixed fine (~DKK 2,000 / €70 first offence) via a simplified penalty notice with no court, but it remains a criminal offence that leaves a record (a warning is possible for drug-dependent persons). Penalties run up to 2 years under the Euphoriants Act; serious/large-scale trafficking (e.g. ≥10 kg) under Criminal Code §191, up to 16 years. A medical cannabis programme has been PERMANENT since 1 January 2026 (prescription, licensed pharmacies); CBD ≤0.2% THC sits outside the euphoriant rules but is often regulated as a medicine. OUTDATED-REPUTATION WARNING: the Christiania/Pusher Street open cannabis market was DISMANTLED in April 2024 — it is NOT a legal or tolerated market, and buying there carries the same (or, in designated zones, doubled) penalties.

- Cannabis is List A (the most restricted category, alongside heroin and LSD). Possession and use are criminal; a small personal amount (up to ~9.9 g cannabis) draws a fixed fine (~DKK 2,000 / €70 first offence) via a simplified penalty notice with no court, but it remains a criminal offence that leaves a record (a warning is possible for drug-dependent persons). Penalties run up to 2 years under the Euphoriants Act; serious/large-scale trafficking (e.g. ≥10 kg) under Criminal Code §191, up to 16 years. A medical cannabis programme has been PERMANENT since 1 January 2026 (prescription, licensed pharmacies); CBD ≤0.2% THC sits outside the euphoriant rules but is often regulated as a medicine. OUTDATED-REPUTATION WARNING: the Christiania/Pusher Street open cannabis market was DISMANTLED in April 2024 — it is NOT a legal or tolerated market, and buying there carries the same (or, in designated zones, doubled) penalties. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
