Is DOM legal in Germany?

Also known as: STP

Legal status

DOM is listed by name in Anlage I of the Betäubungsmittelgesetz. The printed row reads „- | Dimethoxymethylamfetamin (DOM, STP) | (RS)-1-(2,5-Dimethoxy-4-methylphenyl)propan-2-ylazan“, so the table carries the systematic German designation first and both market abbreviations after it, and the third column fixes the racemate. The molecule is an amphetamine rather than a phenethylamine, which is the structural difference from the 2C entries listed nearby: the additional methyl on the side chain is what puts it in this family, and the German table treats the two families as separate rows rather than as one group. Placement is under BtMG § 1 Abs. 1 and the tier is Anlage I, the non-marketable one.

Consequences if caught

Capital exposure: none. The dossier's penalty column records that no death-penalty regime applies. The penal provisions are BtMG §§ 29 bis 30a, and the dossier gives the ceiling: not less than five years under § 30a Abs. 1, with StGB § 38 Abs. 2 capping a determinate sentence at fifteen years. No ordinary band is recorded here. The entry is drawn at the racemate, so a sample answering either configuration falls inside it, and the exposure follows from the ring substitution and the side chain together rather than from the market abbreviation the material was sold under.

If prescribed or medical

Anlage I is the non-marketable tier of the three, read at gesetze-im-internet.de on 21 September 2026, so no German prescription exists for this substance and a foreign prescription cannot create one. The dossier records no traveller rule for narcotics carried into Germany, so this cell gives the placement and defers explicitly on the documentation.

Documentation

Nothing lawful can be carried on this listing. The useful record is the analysis, because two abbreviations attach to this one compound and neither of them is the operative name in the German table. The entry was read on 20 September 2026.

Drug laws and enforcement change and vary within a country. This is not legal advice. Always confirm with Germany’s embassy or official drug authority before traveling; penalties can be severe, including imprisonment.
