Is DOM legal in Georgia?
- Legal status
- DOM is a controlled substance in Georgia. The dossier places it on the annexes to Law No. 624, matched to the entry «DOM», with CAS 15588-95-1 as the identifier the dossier attaches to that match. The dossier records this entry in Latin characters while Law No. 624 is written in Georgian, so the string is attributed to the dossier rather than described as what the schedule prints, and its case has been normalised rather than reproduced as capitals. The match is to a three letter code that is also an ordinary word in several languages, which is why the CAS number and not the code is what fixes this row. The dossier cites the annexed set as Lists I to IV taken together and never records which of the four lists a row sits on, so the placement is established at the level of the annexes and not of a numbered list. The final consolidated text was read on the Legislative Herald of Georgia, which the dossier calls Matsne, on 20 September 2026. The dossier's outcome for this row is verified.
- Consequences if caught
- Capital exposure: none. Georgia has abolished the death penalty and the dossier records no capital route for any substance on these lists. The ceiling is life imprisonment, under Article 260 of the Criminal Code of Georgia for aggravated illegal circulation, and life is where the scale stops. Because «DOM» is an accepted entry, the circulation offence reaches conduct in this substance through that entry. The code names one substituted amphetamine, and the dossier records no series entry around it, so neighbouring compounds of the same substitution pattern are not reached through this row. The official quantity table assigns a small, a large and an especially large quantity by substance, and the dossier records that the table is applied through the matched entry without reproducing any of its figures, so no weight is stated in this cell and none should be inferred from one. There is no general lawful personal use allowance, and the absence of a small quantity figure for a substance is not permission to hold it.
- If prescribed or medical
- The prescription position is deferred here rather than stated. No Georgian rule on a traveller carrying a prescribed supply has been established for this substance, so whether a foreign prescription is recognised has to be settled with the Georgian authorities before travel. What this row does attach to that deferral is the placement: «DOM» is an accepted entry on the annexes to Law No. 624 rather than under the medicines law. There is no medicinal preparation of it.
- Documentation
- The dossier records no documentary requirement for Georgia and carries no column for one, so nothing is prescribed in this cell. What the row does fix is the identity that everything else turns on: the entry «DOM», with CAS 15588-95-1. The code alone is ambiguous in ordinary use, so the CAS number is the identity to quote from this row rather than the three letters. The record and its outcome were read on 20 September 2026 and this cell is dated 21 September 2026.
- Georgia, Law No. 624 and its annexed Lists I to IV, with Article 260 of the Criminal Code of Georgia carrying the penalty ceiling
- this row rests on the entry «DOM» at record GEO-36, identified by CAS 15588-95-1. Read in the final consolidated text on the Legislative Herald of Georgia, which the dossier calls Matsne, on 20 September 2026. The entry string is recorded by the dossier in Latin characters while the instrument is written in Georgian, so it is cited here as the dossier's record of the entry and not as the schedule's printed form. The set that produced this record used three different names, which is the widest form of search this dossier records and the strongest form of the resulting entry or absence. No per row link exists in the dossier this cell is built from, which carries no web address for this substance or for any other, so the instrument is cited in prose and no address is given
- none has been taken from the previous version of this cell or from anywhere else. The dossier's outcome for this row is verified.
