Is DOM legal in Estonia?

Confirmed against a primary sourceVerified September 18, 2026
Legal status
DOM is a controlled substance in Estonia. The national schedule is Annex 1 to Minister of Social Affairs Regulation No 73, and the entry relied on for DOM reads «STP (DOM)». The source does not state whether that entry names DOM itself or a constituent of it, because its explanation column carries one sentence for every controlled row, that the annex names the substance or the applicable controlled entry, and that wording covers both cases. The Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act prohibits handling except for authorised medical, scientific and enforcement purposes, and the annex controls the listed isomers, esters, ethers, salts and medicines as the instrument provides. Estonia publishes no gram figure for DOM, because the boundary that decides the offence is a quantity test rather than a weight. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026, the day the instruments were read, and the schedule review covers the amendment effective 31 December 2024.
Consequences if caught
Capital and life exposure. Estonia has no death penalty, so no quantity of DOM can carry one. The ceiling is life imprisonment under Penal Code section 184(2) with a superscript one, which is reached when section 184 conduct is committed for large financial gain or by a criminal organisation, and the band immediately below it is 6 to 20 years. Below it the scale runs in three steps: dealing in a small quantity, up to 5 years under Penal Code section 183(2); handling a large quantity, 1 to 10 years under section 184(1); and the aggravated form, 3 to 15 years under section 184(2). What makes a quantity large is not a gram figure. The Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, at section 3(1)(3), defines a large quantity as an amount sufficient to intoxicate at least ten people, so the prosecution must prove the intoxicating dose rather than weigh the seizure. A claim that Estonia allows a fixed personal quantity of DOM is not the statutory rule, and small personal possession or use can remain an offence under the Act even where section 184 is not reached.
If prescribed or medical
There may be a lawful route and this row cannot tell you whether there is one for DOM. The Act permits handling for authorised medical, scientific and enforcement purposes, so a medical route exists in principle. Regulation No 73 divides its schedule into six lists, Lists I to VI, and it is the list a substance sits in that decides whether it has a recognised medical use in Estonia. The source read for DOM names the annex and the entry «STP (DOM)» and does not record which of the six lists carries it. That is a gap in what was read rather than a finding that no route exists, and the State Agency of Medicines is the body that settles it. Treat the prescription route for DOM as unread, not as absent.
Documentation
Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging, and get the State Agency of Medicines to confirm the position for DOM in writing before you travel rather than at the airport. That is the carriage answer and it is deliberately short, because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for DOM appears anywhere in what was read for this row. An absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. Provenance follows. The entry «STP (DOM)» was read in Annex 1 to Minister of Social Affairs Regulation No 73, alongside the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act and the Penal Code, in their consolidated texts on Riigi Teataja, the official state gazette, on 18 September 2026.
