Etizolam in Morocco: not individually verified

We have not confirmed that Etizolam specifically is scheduled in Morocco, so this page gives no legal status. Publishing a guess here would be worse than publishing nothing. What we do know is the governing national drug law, below.

What is on record

Not confirmed. This substance is in no entry of tableaux A, B or C annexed to the dahir of 2 December 1922 as annexed in 1922, read complete in the ONSSA consolidated text on 22 September 2026, and in no entry of tableaux I to IV of the 1971 Convention as printed at Bulletin officiel 3590 on 19 August 1981, thirty two entries read complete from the page image. That pair of absences does not make it lawful. Article 1 of the 1922 dahir provides that substances are inscribed in tableaux A, B and C by arrêté. Those arrêtés were read on 3 October 2026: tableau B, « Produits stupéfiants », as abrogated and replaced by arrêté n° 1850-96 of 3 September 1996, Bulletin officiel 4422, pages 713 to 716, read in full from the page image, and tableaux A and C as published by arrêté n° 171-66 of 11 March 1966, Bulletin officiel 2817 of 26 October 1966. Etizolam is in no entry of that tableau B, which names no benzodiazepine or thienodiazepine at all, and it postdates the 1966 tableaux A and C, where an OCR text of every page returns no etizolam, thieno or triazolo entry. Arrêtés amending tableau B after 1996, or tableaux A and C after 1966, were searched for and not found, but the gazette was not swept issue by issue, so the list in force today was not established. Etizolam is a thienotriazolodiazepine, a benzodiazepine analogue in which the benzene ring is replaced by thiophene. It is not printed in the 1922 annex or the 1981 Convention print, neither of which carries any benzodiazepine. The 1966 tableau A prints diazepam, oxazepam and nitrazepam by name and the 1966 tableau C prints chlordiazepoxide, with no class clause that could reach a thienodiazepine. It was first marketed in 1983, after the 1966 lists and the 1981 print; the 1996 tableau B, printed later, does not name it; and the Convention did not schedule it until 2016.

Confirm directly with Morocco’s national drug authority or your own embassy before you rely on anything.
