Is DMT legal in Ukraine?

Legal status

Controlled in Ukraine under a Cyrillic abbreviation of its chemical name. Постанова № 770, таблиці I to IV, consolidated text read on 20 September 2026, prints «ДМТ» at CAS 61-50-7 and record UKR-35 accepts that row. Two other rows of the same source lean on this heading and neither is settled by it. The brew that usually carries this alkaloid was left unresolved at record UKR-20 because composition was never proved, and the methoxylated derivative was left unresolved at record UKR-11 because the source never read whether this heading is drafted narrowly or as a bounded class. So the molecule is listed, and the reach of the heading beyond the molecule is unread.

Consequences if caught

Capital exposure: none. Ukrainian criminal law provides no death penalty. The trade article the source names is Кримінальний кодекс України, стаття 307, whose third part sets a ceiling of twelve years of imprisonment, with no life sentence in the article. Because the heading at CAS 61-50-7 is matched, наказ МОЗ № 188 supplies the small, large and especially large bands for this alkaloid. Where the material is a plant preparation rather than the isolated alkaloid, the band has to be applied to an assayed content, and this source states neither the figures nor any rule for weighing a preparation. No separate possession article is named by the source. 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 carriage, and a scheduled medicine must also satisfy Закон України «Про лікарські засоби» on prescription, packaging, import and customs. On this row the placement is a matched heading at CAS 61-50-7 and there is no authorised Ukrainian medicine containing this alkaloid, so no prescription route arises. Clinical trial supply, religious practice or lawful ceremonial use in another country creates no Ukrainian authorisation, and the source establishes no import permit, no allowance and no foreign prescription rule. None was researched.

Documentation

Carry an analysis rather than a description if any material is involved, because the Ukrainian heading at CAS 61-50-7 is written to the molecule and both of the neighbouring rows in this source failed on identity and composition rather than on the name. Plant material should carry its botanical identification and its assayed alkaloid content. A traveller with a prescribed medicine 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.

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.
