Confirmed legal status

1P-LSD

Legal status: Not a controlled drug for the purposes of Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal. 1P-LSD, searched also as 1-propionil-dietilamida del ácido lisérgico, is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, which Article 321 makes the closed definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The surviving definitions in Article 5 of Decreto 126/89 are a separate question: numeral 14 of that article reaches «dietilamida del ácido lisérgico» and numeral 20 reaches the hallucinogen group «y otros similares», so a lysergamide can be caught by the 1989 law's own open wording even where the closed definition in Article 321 does not. Where it does bite, it now bites without a penalty of its own, because Article 632 repealed the article of the 1989 law that punished a breach.
Consequences if caught: 1P-LSD is outside the offence that Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal create. What distinguishes this row is that lysergide is listed under its own name and this row is a propionylated form of it, which the lists reach only if they say so and they do not. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. Art. 321 sets the special quantity in five categories, of marihuana, hashish, cocaine, opium and synthetic drug, none of which is engaged by this row. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Honduras's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: 1P-LSD reaches people as a powder, a blotter or a pressed tablet rather than as a dispensed medicine, so there is no prescription document to carry for it, and the name a laboratory report would use is 1-propionil-dietilamida del ácido lisérgico. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 governs medicines that contain a controlled substance, and this row is not one of them.
Documentation: The instrument read for this cell is the consolidated text of the Ley sobre el Uso Indebido y Tráfico Ilícito de Drogas y Sustancias Psicotrópicas, Decreto 126/89, published by the Tribunal Superior de Cuentas, which carries its own footnote to La Gaceta 25992 of 23 November 1989 and to the Decreto 86-93 reform in La Gaceta 27162 of 1 October 1993, together with the Código Penal, Decreto 130-2017, as printed in La Gaceta 34,940 of 10 May 2019. Articles 16 to 30 and 41 of Decreto 126/89 were repealed by Article 632 of that Code, so the 1989 law now supplies definitions and administrative prohibitions and the Code supplies every offence. The live cell dated the Code to 10 November 2019, which is the date Article 635 as enacted would have produced from a publication of 10 May 2019; commencement was postponed twice and the Code took effect on 25 June 2020. That last date is carried from the reported amendment of Article 635 published in La Gaceta 35,247 of 9 May 2020, which was not read at the gazette for this cell. The schedules Article 321 adopts were read in the International Narcotics Control Board Yellow List, 65th edition of July 2026, the Green List, 36th edition of 2025, and the Red List, 23rd edition of July 2025, on 21 September 2026. The names searched across the three lists and across the Honduran text were 1P-LSD, 1-propionyl-lysergic acid diethylamide and 1-propionil-dietilamida del ácido lisérgico. No entry was returned for any of them, and none of them returned an occurrence of any kind. Article 11 of Decreto 126/89 survives and still reads «Se prohíbe a toda persona mantener en su poder ya sea en sus ropas o valijas, en su domicilio, lugar de trabajo, automóvil o cualquier otro lugar bajo su orden y responsabilidad, sin autorización legal, cantidad alguna de estupefacientes y sustancias controladas», and Article 6 still routes the definitions through the conventions and the Reglamento de Control de Estupefacientes y otras Drogas Peligrosas, but the article that carried the penalty for breaching them is repealed, so that prohibition now stands without a sanction of its own. Carry any controlled medicine in its dispensing packaging with the prescription, and confirm the position with the Honduran consulate before you travel.

2-FDCK

Legal status: Controlled. 2-FDCK is named in Lista II del Convenio de 1971, and Article 321 of the Código Penal (Decreto 130-2017) makes those schedules the definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica for Articles 311 to 313: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The entry read was PF 013, CAS 111982-50-4, 2-fluorodeschloroketamine, 2-(2-fluorophenyl)-2-(methylamino)cyclohexan-1-one.
Consequences if caught: 2-FDCK is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that like methoxetamine it is listed while ketamine is not, and its entry is reached by its own name and not through the word ketamine inside it. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. The special quantity that triggers that aggravator is set by Art. 321 and for this row is 200 grams of a synthetic drug, or 400 millilitres where it is in solution. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: 2-FDCK reaches people as a powder, a blotter or a pressed tablet rather than as a dispensed medicine, so there is no prescription document to carry for it, and the only official place its name appears is PF 013, CAS 111982-50-4. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 governs medicines that contain a controlled substance, and this row is not one of them.
Documentation: The instrument read for this cell is the consolidated text of the Ley sobre el Uso Indebido y Tráfico Ilícito de Drogas y Sustancias Psicotrópicas, Decreto 126/89, published by the Tribunal Superior de Cuentas, which carries its own footnote to La Gaceta 25992 of 23 November 1989 and to the Decreto 86-93 reform in La Gaceta 27162 of 1 October 1993, together with the Código Penal, Decreto 130-2017, as printed in La Gaceta 34,940 of 10 May 2019.

The entry read was PF 013, CAS 111982-50-4, 2-fluorodeschloroketamine, 2-(2-fluorophenyl)-2-(methylamino)cyclohexan-1-one, in Lista II del Convenio de 1971. Article 11 of Decreto 126/89 survives and still reads «Se prohíbe a toda persona mantener en su poder ya sea en sus ropas o valijas, en su domicilio, lugar de trabajo, automóvil o cualquier otro lugar bajo su orden y responsabilidad, sin autorización legal, cantidad alguna de estupefacientes y sustancias controladas», and Article 6 still routes the definitions through the conventions and the Reglamento de Control de Estupefacientes y otras Drogas Peligrosas, but the article that carried the penalty for breaching them is repealed, so that prohibition now stands without a sanction of its own.

25I-NBOMe

Legal status: Controlled. 25I-NBOMe is named in Lista I del Convenio de 1971, and Article 321 of the Código Penal (Decreto 130-2017) makes those schedules the definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica for Articles 311 to 313: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The entry read was PN 008, 25I-NBOMe, 2-(4-iodo-2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-N-(2-methoxybenzyl)ethanamine.
Consequences if caught: 25I-NBOMe is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that it is in Lista I while 2C-B, the compound it is built from, is in Lista II, so the derivative is scheduled harder than the parent. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities.

2C-B

Legal status: Controlled. 2C-B is named in Lista II del Convenio de 1971, and Article 321 of the Código Penal (Decreto 130-2017) makes those schedules the definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica for Articles 311 to 313: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The entry read was PB 008, CAS 66142-81-2, 2C-B, 4-bromo-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine.
Consequences if caught: 2C-B is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that it is the only member of the 2C series that appears in the convention lists at all. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band.

2C-B in Honduras, full detail →

2C-E

Legal status: Not a controlled drug for the purposes of Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal. 2C-E, searched also as 2,5-dimethoxy-4-ethylphenethylamine, is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, which Article 321 makes the closed definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The surviving definitions in Article 5 of Decreto 126/89 are a separate question: numeral 20 lists the hallucinogen group and closes it with «y otros similares», which is open wording of a kind Article 321 deliberately does not use. Where it does bite, it now bites without a penalty of its own, because Article 632 repealed the article of the 1989 law that punished a breach.
Consequences if caught: 2C-E is outside the offence that Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal create. What distinguishes this row is that 2C-B is the only member of the 2C series in these lists, and the ethyl homologue is not it. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. Art. 321 sets the special quantity in five categories, of marihuana, hashish, cocaine, opium and synthetic drug, none of which is engaged by this row. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Honduras's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: 2C-E reaches people as a powder, a blotter or a pressed tablet rather than as a dispensed medicine, so there is no prescription document to carry for it, and the name a laboratory report would use is 2,5-dimethoxy-4-ethylphenethylamine. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 governs medicines that contain a controlled substance, and this row is not one of them.

The names searched across the three lists and across the Honduran text were 2C-E, 2,5-dimethoxy-4-ethylphenethylamine and 2,5-dimetoxi-4-etilfenetilamina.

2C-I

Legal status: Not a controlled drug for the purposes of Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal. 2C-I, searched also as 2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenethylamine, is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, which Article 321 makes the closed definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The surviving definitions in Article 5 of Decreto 126/89 are a separate question: numeral 20 lists the hallucinogen group and closes it with «y otros similares», which is open wording of a kind Article 321 deliberately does not use.

Consequences if caught: 2C-I is outside the offence that Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal create.

2C-T-7 in Honduras, full detail →

3-MMC

Legal status: Controlled. 3-MMC is named in Lista II del Convenio de 1971, and Article 321 of the Código Penal (Decreto 130-2017) makes those schedules the definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica for Articles 311 to 313: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The entry read was PM 032, CAS 1246816-62-5, 3-MMC, 3-Methylmethcathinone.
Consequences if caught: 3-MMC is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that it has a CAS number and a code of its own, so it is not reached as a variant of the 4-methyl entry. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. The special quantity that triggers that aggravator is set by Art. 321 and for this row is 200 grams of a synthetic drug, or 400 millilitres where it is in solution. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.

If prescribed / medical: 3-MMC reaches people as a powder, a blotter or a pressed tablet rather than as a dispensed medicine, so there is no prescription document to carry for it, and the only official place its name appears is PM 032, CAS 1246816-62-5. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 governs medicines that contain a controlled substance, and this row is not one of them.

4-AcO-DMT

Legal status: Not a controlled drug for the purposes of Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal. 4-AcO-DMT, searched also as 4-acetoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine, is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, which Article 321 makes the closed definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The surviving definitions in Article 5 of Decreto 126/89 are a separate question: numeral 20 lists the hallucinogen group and closes it with «y otros similares», which is open wording of a kind Article 321 deliberately does not use. Where it does bite, it now bites without a penalty of its own, because Article 632 repealed the article of the 1989 law that punished a breach.
Consequences if caught: 4-AcO-DMT is outside the offence that Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal create. What distinguishes this row is that psilocybin and psilocin are both listed and this acetylated ester is neither of them. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. Art. 321 sets the special quantity in five categories, of marihuana, hashish, cocaine, opium and synthetic drug, none of which is engaged by this row. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Honduras's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: 4-AcO-DMT reaches people as a powder, a blotter or a pressed tablet rather than as a dispensed medicine, so there is no prescription document to carry for it, and the name a laboratory report would use is 4-acetoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine.

4-HO-MET

Legal status: Not a controlled drug for the purposes of Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal. 4-HO-MET, searched also as 4-hydroxy-N-methyl-N-ethyltryptamine, is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, which Article 321 makes the closed definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The surviving definitions in Article 5 of Decreto 126/89 are a separate question: numeral 20 lists the hallucinogen group and closes it with «y otros similares», which is open wording of a kind Article 321 deliberately does not use.

Consequences if caught: 4-HO-MET is outside the offence that Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal create. What distinguishes this row is that it differs from the listed psilocin entry by one ethyl group, and the lists work by printed name rather than by resemblance.

Legal status: Not a controlled drug for the purposes of Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal. 6-APB, searched also as 6-(2-aminopropil)benzofurano, is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, which Article 321 makes the closed definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The surviving definitions in Article 5 of Decreto 126/89 are a separate question: numeral 21 lists the stimulant group and closes it with «y otras similares», which is open wording of a kind Article 321 deliberately does not use. Where it does bite, it now bites without a penalty of its own, because Article 632 repealed the article of the 1989 law that punished a breach.
Consequences if caught: 6-APB is outside the offence that Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal create. What distinguishes this row is that it is a benzofuran and not a methylenedioxy compound, so the MDA and MDMA entries do not describe it. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. Art. 321 sets the special quantity in five categories, of marihuana, hashish, cocaine, opium and synthetic drug, none of which is engaged by this row. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Honduras's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: 6-APB reaches people as a powder, a blotter or a pressed tablet rather than as a dispensed medicine, so there is no prescription document to carry for it, and the name a laboratory report would use is 6-(2-aminopropil)benzofurano. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 governs medicines that contain a controlled substance, and this row is not one of them.
Documentation: The instrument read for this cell is the consolidated text of the Ley sobre el Uso Indebido y Tráfico Ilícito de Drogas y Sustancias Psicotrópicas, Decreto 126/89, published by the Tribunal Superior de Cuentas, which carries its own footnote to La Gaceta 25992 of 23 November 1989 and to the Decreto 86-93 reform in La Gaceta 27162 of 1 October 1993, together with the Código Penal, Decreto 130-2017, as printed in La Gaceta 34,940 of 10 May 2019. Articles 16 to 30 and 41 of Decreto 126/89 were repealed by Article 632 of that Code, so the 1989 law now supplies definitions and administrative prohibitions and the Code supplies every offence. The live cell dated the Code to 10 November 2019, which is the date Article 635 as enacted would have produced from a publication of 10 May 2019; commencement was postponed twice and the Code took effect on 25 June 2020. That last date is carried from the reported amendment of Article 635 published in La Gaceta 35,247 of 9 May 2020, which was not read at the gazette for this cell.

The names searched across the three lists and across the Honduran text were 6-APB, 6-(2-aminopropyl)benzofuran and 6-(2-aminopropil)benzofurano. No entry was returned for any of them, and none of them returned an occurrence of any kind. Article 11 of Decreto 126/89 survives and still reads «Se prohíbe a toda persona mantener en su poder ya sea en sus ropas o valijas, en su domicilio, lugar de trabajo, automóvil o cualquier otro lugar bajo su orden y responsabilidad, sin autorización legal, cantidad alguna de estupefacientes y sustancias controladas», and Article 6 still routes the definitions through the conventions and the Reglamento de Control de Estupefacientes y otras Drogas Peligrosas, but the article that carried the penalty for breaching them is repealed, so that prohibition now stands without a sanction of its own. Carry any controlled medicine in its dispensing packaging with the prescription, and confirm the position with the Honduran consulate before you travel.

7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH)

Legal status: Not a controlled drug for the purposes of Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal. 7-Hydroxymitragynine, searched also as 7-hidroximitraginina, is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, which Article 321 makes the closed definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» Nothing in the surviving definitions in Article 5 of Decreto 126/89 reaches it either, because those definitions name particular substances and close their groups on chemical families this row does not belong to.
Consequences if caught: 7-Hydroxymitragynine is outside the offence that Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal create. What distinguishes this row is that neither this alkaloid nor mitragynine nor the plant they come from appears in any of the three lists. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities.

Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Honduras's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: It is an oxidised metabolite of that alkaloid, sold as a concentrate rather than dispensed on a prescription. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 governs medicines that contain a controlled substance, and this row is not one of them.

Adderall

Legal status: Controlled. Adderall is reached through the substances it contains, and the entries read were PA 003, CAS 300-62-9, AMFETAMINE and PD 002, CAS 51-64-9, DEXAMFETAMINE, two separate lines. Adderall under that name is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, and Article 321 of the Código Penal defines the offence by those schedules: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.»
Consequences if caught: Adderall is inside Honduras's drug offence through what it contains rather than under its own name. What distinguishes this row is that it is a brand of mixed amphetamine salts and both of its actives have their own entries, so the brand word answers nothing on its own. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. The special quantity that triggers that aggravator is set by Art. 321 and for this row is 200 grams of a synthetic drug, or 400 millilitres where it is in solution. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: A medicine containing Adderall is a controlled medicine in Honduras, and the entry that makes it one is PA 003, CAS 300-62-9, AMFETAMINE and PD 002, CAS 51-64-9, DEXAMFETAMINE, two separate lines in Lista II del Convenio de 1971. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 is still in force and reads «Los medicamentos que contengan estupefacientes o sustancias controladas, sólo podrán ser vendidos al público, mediante receta médica, en farmacias autorizadas», and Article 13 lets a doctor, dentist or vet carry «Los médicos, dentistas y veterinarios podrán tener en su maletín hasta dos ampolletas de drogas controladas». Travel with the prescription, the dispensing label and a letter naming the quantity, and ask the Honduran consulate before you fly, because Article 12 also subjects imports and free samples to authorisation by the health ministry.

Alcohol

Legal status: Not a controlled drug for the purposes of Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal. Alcohol, searched also as ethanol, is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, which Article 321 makes the closed definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» Nothing in the surviving definitions in Article 5 of Decreto 126/89 reaches it either, because those definitions name particular substances and close their groups on chemical families this row does not belong to.
Consequences if caught: Alcohol is outside the offence that Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal create. What distinguishes this row is that every apparent match for ethanol in the lists is a chemical name ending, such as benzenemethanol in a precursor description. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. Art. 321 sets the special quantity in five categories, of marihuana, hashish, cocaine, opium and synthetic drug, none of which is engaged by this row. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Honduras's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.

Amanita muscaria

Legal status: Not a controlled drug for the purposes of Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal. Amanita muscaria, searched also as ácido iboténico, is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, which Article 321 makes the closed definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» Nothing in the surviving definitions in Article 5 of Decreto 126/89 reaches it either, because those definitions name particular substances and close their groups on chemical families this row does not belong to.
Consequences if caught: Amanita muscaria is outside the offence that Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal create. What distinguishes this row is that the mushroom, muscimol and ibotenic acid are all absent, which is not the position of the psilocybin mushrooms. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. Art. 321 sets the special quantity in five categories, of marihuana, hashish, cocaine, opium and synthetic drug, none of which is engaged by this row. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Honduras's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: It is a mushroom sold dried rather than a dispensed medicine. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 governs medicines that contain a controlled substance, and this row is not one of them.
Documentation: The instrument read for this cell is the consolidated text of the Ley sobre el Uso Indebido y Tráfico Ilícito de Drogas y Sustancias Psicotrópicas, Decreto 126/89, published by the Tribunal Superior de Cuentas, which carries its own footnote to La Gaceta 25992 of 23 November 1989 and to the Decreto 86-93 reform in La Gaceta 27162 of 1 October 1993, together with the Código Penal, Decreto 130-2017, as printed in La Gaceta 34,940 of 10 May 2019. Articles 16 to 30 and 41 of Decreto 126/89 were repealed by Article 632 of that Code, so the 1989 law now supplies definitions and administrative prohibitions and the Code supplies every offence. The live cell dated the Code to 10 November 2019, which is the date Article 635 as enacted would have produced from a publication of 10 May 2019; commencement was postponed twice and the Code took effect on 25 June 2020. That last date is carried from the reported amendment of Article 635 published in La Gaceta 35,247 of 9 May 2020, which was not read at the gazette for this cell. The schedules Article 321 adopts were read in the International Narcotics Control Board Yellow List, 65th edition of July 2026, the Green List, 36th edition of 2025, and the Red List, 23rd edition of July 2025, on 21 September 2026. The names searched across the three lists and across the Honduran text were Amanita muscaria, muscimol, ibotenic acid and ácido iboténico. No entry was returned for any of them, and none of them returned an occurrence of any kind. Article 11 of Decreto 126/89 survives and still reads «Se prohíbe a toda persona mantener en su poder ya sea en sus ropas o valijas, en su domicilio, lugar de trabajo, automóvil o cualquier otro lugar bajo su orden y responsabilidad, sin autorización legal, cantidad alguna de estupefacientes y sustancias controladas», and Article 6 still routes the definitions through the conventions and the Reglamento de Control de Estupefacientes y otras Drogas Peligrosas, but the article that carried the penalty for breaching them is repealed, so that prohibition now stands without a sanction of its own.

Amphetamine

Legal status: Controlled. Amphetamine is named in Lista II del Convenio de 1971, and Article 321 of the Código Penal (Decreto 130-2017) makes those schedules the definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica for Articles 311 to 313: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The entry read was PA 003, CAS 300-62-9, AMFETAMINE, amphetamine, (+/-)-alpha-methylphenethylamine.
Consequences if caught: Amphetamine is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that the Honduran definition reaches its optical isomers and their salts in terms, which the convention entry does through a general isomer clause. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. The special quantity that triggers that aggravator is set by Art. 321 and for this row is 200 grams of a synthetic drug, or 400 millilitres where it is in solution. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: A medicine containing Amphetamine is a controlled medicine in Honduras, and the entry that makes it one is PA 003, CAS 300-62-9 in Lista II del Convenio de 1971. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 is still in force and reads «Los medicamentos que contengan estupefacientes o sustancias controladas, sólo podrán ser vendidos al público, mediante receta médica, en farmacias autorizadas», and Article 13 lets a doctor, dentist or vet carry «Los médicos, dentistas y veterinarios podrán tener en su maletín hasta dos ampolletas de drogas controladas». Travel with the prescription, the dispensing label and a letter naming the quantity, and ask the Honduran consulate before you fly, because Article 12 also subjects imports and free samples to authorisation by the health ministry.

Amphetamine was placed by reading the matched entry and not by counting a name hit. The entry read was PA 003, CAS 300-62-9, AMFETAMINE, amphetamine, (+/-)-alpha-methylphenethylamine, in Lista II del Convenio de 1971. Article 11 of Decreto 126/89 survives and still reads «Se prohíbe a toda persona mantener en su poder ya sea en sus ropas o valijas, en su domicilio, lugar de trabajo, automóvil o cualquier otro lugar bajo su orden y responsabilidad, sin autorización legal, cantidad alguna de estupefacientes y sustancias controladas», and Article 6 still routes the definitions through the conventions and the Reglamento de Control de Estupefacientes y otras Drogas Peligrosas, but the article that carried the penalty for breaching them is repealed, so that prohibition now stands without a sanction of its own.

Amyl Nitrite

Legal status: Not a controlled drug for the purposes of Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal. Amyl nitrite, searched also as nitrito de amilo, is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, which Article 321 makes the closed definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» Nothing in the surviving definitions in Article 5 of Decreto 126/89 reaches it either, because those definitions name particular substances and close their groups on chemical families this row does not belong to.
Consequences if caught: Amyl nitrite is outside the offence that Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal create. What distinguishes this row is that no alkyl nitrite of any chain length appears, so the answer does not turn on which nitrite the product contains. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities.

Ayahuasca

Legal status: Controlled. Ayahuasca is reached through the substances it contains, and the entries read were PD 004, DMT, 3-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]indole. Ayahuasca under that name is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, and Article 321 of the Código Penal defines the offence by those schedules: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.»
Consequences if caught: Ayahuasca is inside Honduras's drug offence through what it contains rather than under its own name. What distinguishes this row is that the brew and the two plants that make it are not listed and the tryptamine in it is, so the identification has to reach the constituent. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. Art. 321 sets the special quantity in five categories, of marihuana, hashish, cocaine, opium and synthetic drug, and which of them this row falls in is not settled by the words of that article. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.

Barbiturates

Legal status: Controlled. Barbiturates is reached through the substances it contains, and the entries read were PS 001 SECOBARBITAL in Schedule II, PA 002 AMOBARBITAL, PB 004 BUTALBITAL, PC 001 CYCLOBARBITAL and PP 002 PENTOBARBITAL in Schedule III, and PB 001 BARBITAL, PA 005 ALLOBARBITAL, PM 008 METHYLPHENOBARBITAL, PP 008 PHENOBARBITAL and PS 003 SECBUTABARBITAL in Schedule IV. Barbiturates under that name is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, and Article 321 of the Código Penal defines the offence by those schedules: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.»
Consequences if caught: Barbiturates is inside Honduras's drug offence through what it contains rather than under its own name. What distinguishes this row is that its members are spread across three different schedules, so no single answer covers the class and Honduras is the rarer case of naming the acid itself. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. The special quantity that triggers that aggravator is set by Art. 321 and for this row is 200 grams of a synthetic drug, or 400 millilitres where it is in solution. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: A medicine containing Barbiturates is a controlled medicine in Honduras, and the entry that makes it one is PS 001 SECOBARBITAL in Schedule II, PA 002 AMOBARBITAL, PB 004 BUTALBITAL, PC 001 CYCLOBARBITAL and PP 002 PENTOBARBITAL in Schedule III, and PB 001 BARBITAL, PA 005 ALLOBARBITAL, PM 008 METHYLPHENOBARBITAL, PP 008 PHENOBARBITAL and PS 003 SECBUTABARBITAL in Schedule IV in Listas II, III y IV del Convenio de 1971. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 is still in force and reads «Los medicamentos que contengan estupefacientes o sustancias controladas, sólo podrán ser vendidos al público, mediante receta médica, en farmacias autorizadas», and Article 13 lets a doctor, dentist or vet carry «Los médicos, dentistas y veterinarios podrán tener en su maletín hasta dos ampolletas de drogas controladas». Travel with the prescription, the dispensing label and a letter naming the quantity, and ask the Honduran consulate before you fly, because Article 12 also subjects imports and free samples to authorisation by the health ministry.

Benzodiazepines

Legal status: Controlled. Benzodiazepines is reached through the substances it contains, and the entries read were PA 004 ALPRAZOLAM, PC 005 CLONAZEPAM, PD 005 DELORAZEPAM, PD 006 DIAZEPAM, PF 001 FLUDIAZEPAM, PF 011 flualprazolam and PL 004 LORAZEPAM, each on its own line. Benzodiazepines under that name is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, and Article 321 of the Código Penal defines the offence by those schedules: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.»
Consequences if caught: Benzodiazepines is inside Honduras's drug offence through what it contains rather than under its own name. What distinguishes this row is that the class word is not an entry anywhere, and etizolam, which is sold as one of these, is a thienodiazepine with a separate line. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band.

Buprenorphine

Legal status: Controlled. Buprenorphine is named in Lista III del Convenio de 1971, and Article 321 of the Código Penal (Decreto 130-2017) makes those schedules the definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica for Articles 311 to 313: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The entry read was PB 006, CAS 52485-79-7, BUPRENORPHINE.
Consequences if caught: Buprenorphine is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that it is the only row here placed in Lista III of the 1971 Convention, a schedule article 321 cites and the 1961 Lista III is deliberately left out of. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. Art. 321 sets the special quantity in five categories, of marihuana, hashish, cocaine, opium and synthetic drug, and which of them this row falls in is not settled by the words of that article. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: A medicine containing Buprenorphine is a controlled medicine in Honduras, and the entry that makes it one is PB 006, CAS 52485-79-7 in Lista III del Convenio de 1971. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 is still in force and reads «Los medicamentos que contengan estupefacientes o sustancias controladas, sólo podrán ser vendidos al público, mediante receta médica, en farmacias autorizadas», and Article 13 lets a doctor, dentist or vet carry «Los médicos, dentistas y veterinarios podrán tener en su maletín hasta dos ampolletas de drogas controladas». Travel with the prescription, the dispensing label and a letter naming the quantity, and ask the Honduran consulate before you fly, because Article 12 also subjects imports and free samples to authorisation by the health ministry.
Documentation: The instrument read for this cell is the consolidated text of the Ley sobre el Uso Indebido y Tráfico Ilícito de Drogas y Sustancias Psicotrópicas, Decreto 126/89, published by the Tribunal Superior de Cuentas, which carries its own footnote to La Gaceta 25992 of 23 November 1989 and to the Decreto 86-93 reform in La Gaceta 27162 of 1 October 1993, together with the Código Penal, Decreto 130-2017, as printed in La Gaceta 34,940 of 10 May 2019. Articles 16 to 30 and 41 of Decreto 126/89 were repealed by Article 632 of that Code, so the 1989 law now supplies definitions and administrative prohibitions and the Code supplies every offence. The live cell dated the Code to 10 November 2019, which is the date Article 635 as enacted would have produced from a publication of 10 May 2019; commencement was postponed twice and the Code took effect on 25 June 2020.

Buprenorphine was placed by reading the matched entry and not by counting a name hit. The entry read was PB 006, CAS 52485-79-7, BUPRENORPHINE, in Lista III del Convenio de 1971. Article 11 of Decreto 126/89 survives and still reads «Se prohíbe a toda persona mantener en su poder ya sea en sus ropas o valijas, en su domicilio, lugar de trabajo, automóvil o cualquier otro lugar bajo su orden y responsabilidad, sin autorización legal, cantidad alguna de estupefacientes y sustancias controladas», and Article 6 still routes the definitions through the conventions and the Reglamento de Control de Estupefacientes y otras Drogas Peligrosas, but the article that carried the penalty for breaching them is repealed, so that prohibition now stands without a sanction of its own.

Caffeine

Legal status: Not a controlled drug for the purposes of Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal. Caffeine, searched also as 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine, is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, which Article 321 makes the closed definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» Nothing in the surviving definitions in Article 5 of Decreto 126/89 reaches it either, because those definitions name particular substances and close their groups on chemical families this row does not belong to.
Consequences if caught: Caffeine is outside the offence that Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal create. What distinguishes this row is that it is absent even from the precursor tables, where several ordinary industrial chemicals do appear. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. Art. 321 sets the special quantity in five categories, of marihuana, hashish, cocaine, opium and synthetic drug, none of which is engaged by this row. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Honduras's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: It is a food ingredient rather than a dispensed medicine. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 governs medicines that contain a controlled substance, and this row is not one of them.
Documentation: The instrument read for this cell is the consolidated text of the Ley sobre el Uso Indebido y Tráfico Ilícito de Drogas y Sustancias Psicotrópicas, Decreto 126/89, published by the Tribunal Superior de Cuentas, which carries its own footnote to La Gaceta 25992 of 23 November 1989 and to the Decreto 86-93 reform in La Gaceta 27162 of 1 October 1993, together with the Código Penal, Decreto 130-2017, as printed in La Gaceta 34,940 of 10 May 2019. Articles 16 to 30 and 41 of Decreto 126/89 were repealed by Article 632 of that Code, so the 1989 law now supplies definitions and administrative prohibitions and the Code supplies every offence. The live cell dated the Code to 10 November 2019, which is the date Article 635 as enacted would have produced from a publication of 10 May 2019; commencement was postponed twice and the Code took effect on 25 June 2020. That last date is carried from the reported amendment of Article 635 published in La Gaceta 35,247 of 9 May 2020, which was not read at the gazette for this cell. The schedules Article 321 adopts were read in the International Narcotics Control Board Yellow List, 65th edition of July 2026, the Green List, 36th edition of 2025, and the Red List, 23rd edition of July 2025, on 21 September 2026. The names searched across the three lists and across the Honduran text were caffeine, cafeína, 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine and trimetilxantina. No entry was returned for any of them, and none of them returned an occurrence of any kind. Article 11 of Decreto 126/89 survives and still reads «Se prohíbe a toda persona mantener en su poder ya sea en sus ropas o valijas, en su domicilio, lugar de trabajo, automóvil o cualquier otro lugar bajo su orden y responsabilidad, sin autorización legal, cantidad alguna de estupefacientes y sustancias controladas», and Article 6 still routes the definitions through the conventions and the Reglamento de Control de Estupefacientes y otras Drogas Peligrosas, but the article that carried the penalty for breaching them is repealed, so that prohibition now stands without a sanction of its own. Carry any controlled medicine in its dispensing packaging with the prescription, and confirm the position with the Honduran consulate before you travel.

Cannabinol

Legal status: Not a controlled drug for the purposes of Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal. Cannabinol, searched also as 6,6,9-trimethyl-3-pentylbenzo[c]chromen-1-ol, is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, which Article 321 makes the closed definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The surviving definitions in Article 5 of Decreto 126/89 are a separate question: numeral 20 names «el THC (Tetrahidrocannabinol) y otros similares», so a cannabinoid can be caught by the 1989 law's own open wording even where the closed definition in Article 321 does not. Where it does bite, it now bites without a penalty of its own, because Article 632 repealed the article of the 1989 law that punished a breach.
Consequences if caught: Cannabinol is outside the offence that Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal create. What distinguishes this row is that its name is a substring of two listed names, tetrahydrocannabinol and hexahydrocannabinol, and neither of those entries is this compound. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. Art. 321 sets the special quantity in five categories, of marihuana, hashish, cocaine, opium and synthetic drug, none of which is engaged by this row. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Honduras's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: It is a minor plant cannabinoid sold as an ingredient rather than dispensed. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 governs medicines that contain a controlled substance, and this row is not one of them.

The names searched across the three lists and across the Honduran text were cannabinol, CBN and 6,6,9-trimethyl-3-pentylbenzo[c]chromen-1-ol. None of them returned an entry. The bare name did return occurrences, every one of them a substring of a longer listed name: tetrahydrocannabinol and hexahydrocannabinol in the Green List, and «el THC (Tetrahidrocannabinol)» in Article 5 of Decreto 126/89. The chemical name searched returned nothing at all. Article 11 of Decreto 126/89 survives and still reads «Se prohíbe a toda persona mantener en su poder ya sea en sus ropas o valijas, en su domicilio, lugar de trabajo, automóvil o cualquier otro lugar bajo su orden y responsabilidad, sin autorización legal, cantidad alguna de estupefacientes y sustancias controladas», and Article 6 still routes the definitions through the conventions and the Reglamento de Control de Estupefacientes y otras Drogas Peligrosas, but the article that carried the penalty for breaching them is repealed, so that prohibition now stands without a sanction of its own.

Cannabis / THC

Legal status: Controlled. Cannabis is named in Lista I de la Convención Única de 1961, and Article 321 of the Código Penal (Decreto 130-2017) makes those schedules the definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica for Articles 311 to 313: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The entry read was NC 001, CAS 8063-14-7, printed as the flowering or fruiting tops of the cannabis plant with the resin not extracted, and NC 008, CAS 6465-30-1, printed as «CANNABIS RESIN, EXTRACTS and TINCTURES», the separated resin crude or purified. Article 321 also prints the band rule: «Se entiende que no causan grave daño a la salud los derivados del cáñamo índico o americano o del cannabis sativa.»
Consequences if caught: Cannabis is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that the plant, the separated resin and the extracts are three printed entries and this row does not collapse them into one. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 puts the cannabis derivatives in the first of those two groups, so 4 to 7 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. The special quantity that triggers that aggravator is set by Art. 321 and for this row is 10,000 grams of marihuana, with 1,000 grams for hashish. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: Honduras has no medical cannabis regime, so no Honduran prescription exists for it. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 governs medicines that contain a controlled substance, and this row is not one of them.
Documentation: The instrument read for this cell is the consolidated text of the Ley sobre el Uso Indebido y Tráfico Ilícito de Drogas y Sustancias Psicotrópicas, Decreto 126/89, published by the Tribunal Superior de Cuentas, which carries its own footnote to La Gaceta 25992 of 23 November 1989 and to the Decreto 86-93 reform in La Gaceta 27162 of 1 October 1993, together with the Código Penal, Decreto 130-2017, as printed in La Gaceta 34,940 of 10 May 2019. Articles 16 to 30 and 41 of Decreto 126/89 were repealed by Article 632 of that Code, so the 1989 law now supplies definitions and administrative prohibitions and the Code supplies every offence.

That last date is carried from the reported amendment of Article 635 published in La Gaceta 35,247 of 9 May 2020, which was not read at the gazette for this cell.

Cannabis was placed by reading the matched entry and not by counting a name hit. The entry read was NC 001, CAS 8063-14-7, printed as the flowering or fruiting tops of the cannabis plant with the resin not extracted, and NC 008, CAS 6465-30-1, printed as «CANNABIS RESIN, EXTRACTS and TINCTURES», the separated resin crude or purified, in Lista I de la Convención Única de 1961. Article 11 of Decreto 126/89 survives and still reads «Se prohíbe a toda persona mantener en su poder ya sea en sus ropas o valijas, en su domicilio, lugar de trabajo, automóvil o cualquier otro lugar bajo su orden y responsabilidad, sin autorización legal, cantidad alguna de estupefacientes y sustancias controladas», and Article 6 still routes the definitions through the conventions and the Reglamento de Control de Estupefacientes y otras Drogas Peligrosas, but the article that carried the penalty for breaching them is repealed, so that prohibition now stands without a sanction of its own.

Cathinone

Legal status: Controlled. Cathinone is named in Lista I del Convenio de 1971, and Article 321 of the Código Penal (Decreto 130-2017) makes those schedules the definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica for Articles 311 to 313: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The entry read was PC 010, CATHINONE, (-)-(S)-2-aminopropiophenone.
Consequences if caught: Cathinone is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that the natural alkaloid is Lista I while the substituted cathinones that followed it are Lista II, so the schedules differ inside one chemical family. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. Art. 321 sets the special quantity in five categories, of marihuana, hashish, cocaine, opium and synthetic drug, and which of them this row falls in is not settled by the words of that article. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: Cathinone reaches people as a powder, a blotter or a pressed tablet rather than as a dispensed medicine, so there is no prescription document to carry for it, and the only official place its name appears is PC 010. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 governs medicines that contain a controlled substance, and this row is not one of them.
Documentation: The instrument read for this cell is the consolidated text of the Ley sobre el Uso Indebido y Tráfico Ilícito de Drogas y Sustancias Psicotrópicas, Decreto 126/89, published by the Tribunal Superior de Cuentas, which carries its own footnote to La Gaceta 25992 of 23 November 1989 and to the Decreto 86-93 reform in La Gaceta 27162 of 1 October 1993, together with the Código Penal, Decreto 130-2017, as printed in La Gaceta 34,940 of 10 May 2019. Articles 16 to 30 and 41 of Decreto 126/89 were repealed by Article 632 of that Code, so the 1989 law now supplies definitions and administrative prohibitions and the Code supplies every offence. The live cell dated the Code to 10 November 2019, which is the date Article 635 as enacted would have produced from a publication of 10 May 2019; commencement was postponed twice and the Code took effect on 25 June 2020. That last date is carried from the reported amendment of Article 635 published in La Gaceta 35,247 of 9 May 2020, which was not read at the gazette for this cell. The schedules Article 321 adopts were read in the International Narcotics Control Board Yellow List, 65th edition of July 2026, the Green List, 36th edition of 2025, and the Red List, 23rd edition of July 2025, on 21 September 2026. Cathinone was placed by reading the matched entry and not by counting a name hit. The entry read was PC 010, CATHINONE, (-)-(S)-2-aminopropiophenone, in Lista I del Convenio de 1971.

CBD

Legal status: Not a controlled drug for the purposes of Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal. CBD, searched also as 2-[(1R,6R)-3-methyl-6-prop-1-en-2-ylcyclohex-2-en-1-yl]-5-pentylbenzene-1,3-diol, is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, which Article 321 makes the closed definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The surviving definitions in Article 5 of Decreto 126/89 point the other way here: numeral 23 defines marihuana as «Marihuana: Significa todas las partes de la planta Cannabis Sativa, variedad americana y variedad índica, esté en proceso de crecimiento o no, las semillas de la misma, la resina extraída de cualquier parte de dicha planta», and a compound extracted from the plant is within those words. Where it does bite, it now bites without a penalty of its own, because Article 632 repealed the article of the 1989 law that punished a breach.
Consequences if caught: CBD is outside the offence that Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal create. What distinguishes this row is that cannabis, its resin and its extracts are listed and cannabidiol is not named among them. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. Art. 321 sets the special quantity in five categories, of marihuana, hashish, cocaine, opium and synthetic drug, none of which is engaged by this row. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Honduras's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: Cannabidiol is sold abroad as a supplement rather than dispensed, so there is no prescription to carry. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 governs medicines that contain a controlled substance, and this row is not one of them.
Documentation: The instrument read for this cell is the consolidated text of the Ley sobre el Uso Indebido y Tráfico Ilícito de Drogas y Sustancias Psicotrópicas, Decreto 126/89, published by the Tribunal Superior de Cuentas, which carries its own footnote to La Gaceta 25992 of 23 November 1989 and to the Decreto 86-93 reform in La Gaceta 27162 of 1 October 1993, together with the Código Penal, Decreto 130-2017, as printed in La Gaceta 34,940 of 10 May 2019. Articles 16 to 30 and 41 of Decreto 126/89 were repealed by Article 632 of that Code, so the 1989 law now supplies definitions and administrative prohibitions and the Code supplies every offence. The live cell dated the Code to 10 November 2019, which is the date Article 635 as enacted would have produced from a publication of 10 May 2019; commencement was postponed twice and the Code took effect on 25 June 2020. That last date is carried from the reported amendment of Article 635 published in La Gaceta 35,247 of 9 May 2020, which was not read at the gazette for this cell. The schedules Article 321 adopts were read in the International Narcotics Control Board Yellow List, 65th edition of July 2026, the Green List, 36th edition of 2025, and the Red List, 23rd edition of July 2025, on 21 September 2026. The names searched across the three lists and across the Honduran text were cannabidiol, CBD and 2-[(1R,6R)-3-methyl-6-prop-1-en-2-ylcyclohex-2-en-1-yl]-5-pentylbenzene-1,3-diol. No entry was returned for any of them, and none of them returned an occurrence of any kind. Article 11 of Decreto 126/89 survives and still reads «Se prohíbe a toda persona mantener en su poder ya sea en sus ropas o valijas, en su domicilio, lugar de trabajo, automóvil o cualquier otro lugar bajo su orden y responsabilidad, sin autorización legal, cantidad alguna de estupefacientes y sustancias controladas», and Article 6 still routes the definitions through the conventions and the Reglamento de Control de Estupefacientes y otras Drogas Peligrosas, but the article that carried the penalty for breaching them is repealed, so that prohibition now stands without a sanction of its own.

Clonazepam

Legal status: Controlled. Clonazepam is named in Lista IV del Convenio de 1971, and Article 321 of the Código Penal (Decreto 130-2017) makes those schedules the definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica for Articles 311 to 313: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The entry read was PC 005, CAS 1622-61-3, CLONAZEPAM.
Consequences if caught: Clonazepam is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that it is a nitro benzodiazepine, and the nitro group is what it shares with nimetazepam rather than with diazepam. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. The special quantity that triggers that aggravator is set by Art. 321 and for this row is 200 grams of a synthetic drug, or 400 millilitres where it is in solution. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: A medicine containing Clonazepam is a controlled medicine in Honduras, and the entry that makes it one is PC 005, CAS 1622-61-3 in Lista IV del Convenio de 1971. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 is still in force and reads «Los medicamentos que contengan estupefacientes o sustancias controladas, sólo podrán ser vendidos al público, mediante receta médica, en farmacias autorizadas», and Article 13 lets a doctor, dentist or vet carry «Los médicos, dentistas y veterinarios podrán tener en su maletín hasta dos ampolletas de drogas controladas». Travel with the prescription, the dispensing label and a letter naming the quantity, and ask the Honduran consulate before you fly, because Article 12 also subjects imports and free samples to authorisation by the health ministry.
Documentation: The instrument read for this cell is the consolidated text of the Ley sobre el Uso Indebido y Tráfico Ilícito de Drogas y Sustancias Psicotrópicas, Decreto 126/89, published by the Tribunal Superior de Cuentas, which carries its own footnote to La Gaceta 25992 of 23 November 1989 and to the Decreto 86-93 reform in La Gaceta 27162 of 1 October 1993, together with the Código Penal, Decreto 130-2017, as printed in La Gaceta 34,940 of 10 May 2019.

Clonazepam was placed by reading the matched entry and not by counting a name hit. The entry read was PC 005, CAS 1622-61-3, CLONAZEPAM, in Lista IV del Convenio de 1971. Article 11 of Decreto 126/89 survives and still reads «Se prohíbe a toda persona mantener en su poder ya sea en sus ropas o valijas, en su domicilio, lugar de trabajo, automóvil o cualquier otro lugar bajo su orden y responsabilidad, sin autorización legal, cantidad alguna de estupefacientes y sustancias controladas», and Article 6 still routes the definitions through the conventions and the Reglamento de Control de Estupefacientes y otras Drogas Peligrosas, but the article that carried the penalty for breaching them is repealed, so that prohibition now stands without a sanction of its own.

Cocaine

Legal status: Controlled. Cocaine is named in Lista I de la Convención Única de 1961, and Article 321 of the Código Penal (Decreto 130-2017) makes those schedules the definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica for Articles 311 to 313: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The entry read was NC 004, CAS 50-36-2, COCAINE, methyl ester of benzoylecgonine, with NC 003 Coca leaf listed separately.
Consequences if caught: Cocaine is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that the coca leaf is its own entry, so a leaf question and a cocaine question do not share an answer. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies.

Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. The special quantity that triggers that aggravator is set by Art. 321 and for this row is 2,000 grams of cocaine or of a cocaine alkaloid. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure.

Codeine

Legal status: Controlled. Codeine is named in Lista II de la Convención Única de 1961, and Article 321 of the Código Penal (Decreto 130-2017) makes those schedules the definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica for Articles 311 to 313: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The entry read was NC 005, CAS 76-57-3, CODEINE, 3-methylmorphine, printed as a derivative of morphine and an alkaloid contained in opium and poppy straw.
Consequences if caught: Codeine is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that it is the only row here whose convention entry sits in Lista II rather than Lista I. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. The special quantity that triggers that aggravator is set by Art. 321 and for this row is 60 grams of opium or of its derivatives. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.

If prescribed / medical: A medicine containing Codeine is a controlled medicine in Honduras, and the entry that makes it one is NC 005, CAS 76-57-3 in Lista II de la Convención Única de 1961. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 is still in force and reads «Los medicamentos que contengan estupefacientes o sustancias controladas, sólo podrán ser vendidos al público, mediante receta médica, en farmacias autorizadas», and Article 13 lets a doctor, dentist or vet carry «Los médicos, dentistas y veterinarios podrán tener en su maletín hasta dos ampolletas de drogas controladas». Travel with the prescription, the dispensing label and a letter naming the quantity, and ask the Honduran consulate before you fly, because Article 12 also subjects imports and free samples to authorisation by the health ministry.

Crack Cocaine

Legal status: Controlled. Crack cocaine is reached through the substances it contains, and the entries read were NC 004, CAS 50-36-2, COCAINE, methyl ester of benzoylecgonine. Crack cocaine under that name is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, and Article 321 of the Código Penal defines the offence by those schedules: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.»
Consequences if caught: Crack cocaine is inside Honduras's drug offence through what it contains rather than under its own name. What distinguishes this row is that it is a preparation of a listed substance and not a listed substance, so the identification has to reach cocaine before any article applies. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. The special quantity that triggers that aggravator is set by Art. 321 and for this row is 2,000 grams of cocaine or of a cocaine alkaloid. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: It is a smoked preparation and there is no prescription form of it. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 governs medicines that contain a controlled substance, and this row is not one of them.

Delta-8-THC

Legal status: Controlled. Delta-8-THC is named in Lista I del Convenio de 1971, and Article 321 of the Código Penal (Decreto 130-2017) makes those schedules the definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica for Articles 311 to 313: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The entry read was PT 002, TETRAHYDROCANNABINOL, which prints delta-8-THC by name among the listed isomers. Article 321 also prints the band rule: «Se entiende que no causan grave daño a la salud los derivados del cáñamo índico o americano o del cannabis sativa.»
Consequences if caught: Delta-8-THC is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that delta-8 is in the Lista I isomer block while delta-9 has its own Lista II entry, so the two isomers sit in different schedules. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 puts the cannabis derivatives in the first of those two groups, so 4 to 7 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. The special quantity that triggers that aggravator is set by Art. 321 and for this row is 10,000 grams of marihuana, with 1,000 grams for hashish. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one.

The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: No Honduran prescription route exists for a tetrahydrocannabinol isomer. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 governs medicines that contain a controlled substance, and this row is not one of them.

Diazepam

Legal status: Controlled. Diazepam is named in Lista IV del Convenio de 1971, and Article 321 of the Código Penal (Decreto 130-2017) makes those schedules the definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica for Articles 311 to 313: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The entry read was PD 006, CAS 439-14-5, DIAZEPAM, 7-chloro-1,3-dihydro-1-methyl-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one.
Consequences if caught: Diazepam is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that delorazepam sits two lines above it with a second chlorine and its own code, which is how close the neighbouring entries are. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band.

Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. The special quantity that triggers that aggravator is set by Art. 321 and for this row is 200 grams of a synthetic drug, or 400 millilitres where it is in solution. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated.

DMT

Legal status: Controlled. DMT is named in Lista I del Convenio de 1971, and Article 321 of the Código Penal (Decreto 130-2017) makes those schedules the definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica for Articles 311 to 313: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The entry read was PD 004, DMT, 3-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]indole.
Consequences if caught: DMT is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that DET sits beside it in the Honduran definition and in the convention list, and neither covers the substituted tryptamines. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. Art. 321 sets the special quantity in five categories, of marihuana, hashish, cocaine, opium and synthetic drug, and which of them this row falls in is not settled by the words of that article. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: DMT reaches people as a powder, a blotter or a pressed tablet rather than as a dispensed medicine, so there is no prescription document to carry for it, and the only official place its name appears is PD 004.

DOM

Legal status: Controlled. DOM is named in Lista I del Convenio de 1971, and Article 321 of the Código Penal (Decreto 130-2017) makes those schedules the definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica for Articles 311 to 313: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The entry read was PS 002, printed under the names STP, DOM.
Consequences if caught: DOM is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that Honduras names it by the STP synonym, which is the name the convention list prints first. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. The special quantity that triggers that aggravator is set by Art. 321 and for this row is 200 grams of a synthetic drug, or 400 millilitres where it is in solution. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.

DXM

Legal status: Not a controlled drug for the purposes of Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal. DXM, searched also as dextromethorphan, is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, which Article 321 makes the closed definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The Yellow List settles it in a footnote of its own: «Dextromethorphan and dextrorphan are not under international control.» Nothing in the surviving definitions in Article 5 of Decreto 126/89 reaches it either, because those definitions name particular substances and close their groups on chemical families this row does not belong to.
Consequences if caught: DXM is outside the offence that Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal create. What distinguishes this row is that the Yellow List says in a footnote of its own that this substance is not under international control, which is rarer than simple absence. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. Art. 321 sets the special quantity in five categories, of marihuana, hashish, cocaine, opium and synthetic drug, none of which is engaged by this row. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Honduras's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: DXM is prescribed in many countries and this row places it outside Honduras's controlled drug definition, so Article 12 of Decreto 126/89, which confines medicines containing a controlled substance to prescription sale in an authorised pharmacy, is not what governs it. The name a Honduran pharmacist or customs officer would look for is dextromethorphan. Carry it in its dispensing packaging with the prescription anyway, because a customs officer reads the box before the schedule.

The names searched across the three lists and across the Honduran text were dextromethorphan, dextrometorfano and dextrorphan. None of them returned an entry. Dextromethorphan and dextrorphan do both appear in the Yellow List, in a footnote whose whole content is that they are not under international control. Article 11 of Decreto 126/89 survives and still reads «Se prohíbe a toda persona mantener en su poder ya sea en sus ropas o valijas, en su domicilio, lugar de trabajo, automóvil o cualquier otro lugar bajo su orden y responsabilidad, sin autorización legal, cantidad alguna de estupefacientes y sustancias controladas», and Article 6 still routes the definitions through the conventions and the Reglamento de Control de Estupefacientes y otras Drogas Peligrosas, but the article that carried the penalty for breaching them is repealed, so that prohibition now stands without a sanction of its own.

Ephedrine

Legal status: Controlled as a precursor. Ephedrine is named in Cuadro I de la Convención de 1988, which the last paragraph of Article 321 of the Código Penal adopts: «Por precursores se entienden las sustancias recogidas en los Cuadros I y II de la Convención de Naciones Unidas contra el Tráfico Ilícito de Estupefacientes y Sustancias Psicotrópicas, hecha en Viena el 20 de diciembre de 1988.» The entry read was Ephedrine, Efedrina, CAS 299-42-3, HS code 2939.41, in the Table I section of the Red List. It is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, so Articles 311 and 312 are not the articles that reach it and Article 314 is.
Consequences if caught: Ephedrine is inside the drug trafficking chapter of the Código Penal as a precursor, under an article of its own and not under Art. 311. What distinguishes this row is that it is a precursor and not a drug, so the article that reaches it is a different one with a different penalty band. Art. 314 gives precursors an offence of their own at 4 to 6 years with a fine of 100 to 300 days, Art. 315 raises it to 6 to 10 years on the Art. 312 aggravators or on diversion by an authorised holder, and Art. 316 lowers it to 1 to 3 years on the Art. 313 circumstances. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 years and 7 to 10 years and the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years are the drug offence figures and are not this row's. Art. 321 sets the special quantity in five categories, of marihuana, hashish, cocaine, opium and synthetic drug, none of which is engaged by this row. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Honduras's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: Pharmacy ephedrine products are medicines, and the precursor control on the substance is aimed at bulk consignments rather than at a traveller's pack. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 still puts medicines that contain a controlled substance behind a prescription in an authorised pharmacy. Carry the prescription and the original packaging and declare the quantity if you are asked.

Article 11 of Decreto 126/89 survives and still reads «Se prohíbe a toda persona mantener en su poder ya sea en sus ropas o valijas, en su domicilio, lugar de trabajo, automóvil o cualquier otro lugar bajo su orden y responsabilidad, sin autorización legal, cantidad alguna de estupefacientes y sustancias controladas», and Article 6 still routes the definitions through the conventions and the Reglamento de Control de Estupefacientes y otras Drogas Peligrosas, but the article that carried the penalty for breaching them is repealed, so that prohibition now stands without a sanction of its own.

Etizolam is named in Lista IV del Convenio de 1971, and Article 321 of the Código Penal (Decreto 130-2017) makes those schedules the definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica for Articles 311 to 313: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The entry read was PE 009, CAS 40054-69-1, ETIZOLAM, 4-(2-Chlorophenyl)-2-ethyl-9-methyl-6H-thieno[3,2-f][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]diazepine.
Consequences if caught: Etizolam is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that it is a thienodiazepine and not a benzodiazepine, so it is reached by its own listed name and not by the class. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. The special quantity that triggers that aggravator is set by Art. 321 and for this row is 200 grams of a synthetic drug, or 400 millilitres where it is in solution. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: A medicine containing Etizolam is a controlled medicine in Honduras, and the entry that makes it one is PE 009, CAS 40054-69-1 in Lista IV del Convenio de 1971. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 is still in force and reads «Los medicamentos que contengan estupefacientes o sustancias controladas, sólo podrán ser vendidos al público, mediante receta médica, en farmacias autorizadas», and Article 13 lets a doctor, dentist or vet carry «Los médicos, dentistas y veterinarios podrán tener en su maletín hasta dos ampolletas de drogas controladas». Travel with the prescription, the dispensing label and a letter naming the quantity, and ask the Honduran consulate before you fly, because Article 12 also subjects imports and free samples to authorisation by the health ministry.
Documentation: The instrument read for this cell is the consolidated text of the Ley sobre el Uso Indebido y Tráfico Ilícito de Drogas y Sustancias Psicotrópicas, Decreto 126/89, published by the Tribunal Superior de Cuentas, which carries its own footnote to La Gaceta 25992 of 23 November 1989 and to the Decreto 86-93 reform in La Gaceta 27162 of 1 October 1993, together with the Código Penal, Decreto 130-2017, as printed in La Gaceta 34,940 of 10 May 2019. Articles 16 to 30 and 41 of Decreto 126/89 were repealed by Article 632 of that Code, so the 1989 law now supplies definitions and administrative prohibitions and the Code supplies every offence. The live cell dated the Code to 10 November 2019, which is the date Article 635 as enacted would have produced from a publication of 10 May 2019; commencement was postponed twice and the Code took effect on 25 June 2020. That last date is carried from the reported amendment of Article 635 published in La Gaceta 35,247 of 9 May 2020, which was not read at the gazette for this cell. The schedules Article 321 adopts were read in the International Narcotics Control Board Yellow List, 65th edition of July 2026, the Green List, 36th edition of 2025, and the Red List, 23rd edition of July 2025, on 21 September 2026. Etizolam was placed by reading the matched entry and not by counting a name hit. The entry read was PE 009, CAS 40054-69-1, ETIZOLAM, 4-(2-Chlorophenyl)-2-ethyl-9-methyl-6H-thieno[3,2-f][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]diazepine, in Lista IV del Convenio de 1971. Article 11 of Decreto 126/89 survives and still reads «Se prohíbe a toda persona mantener en su poder ya sea en sus ropas o valijas, en su domicilio, lugar de trabajo, automóvil o cualquier otro lugar bajo su orden y responsabilidad, sin autorización legal, cantidad alguna de estupefacientes y sustancias controladas», and Article 6 still routes the definitions through the conventions and the Reglamento de Control de Estupefacientes y otras Drogas Peligrosas, but the article that carried the penalty for breaching them is repealed, so that prohibition now stands without a sanction of its own. Carry any controlled medicine in its dispensing packaging with the prescription, and confirm the position with the Honduran consulate before you travel.

Fentanyl

Legal status: Controlled. Fentanyl is named in Lista I de la Convención Única de 1961, and Article 321 of the Código Penal (Decreto 130-2017) makes those schedules the definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica for Articles 311 to 313: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The entry read was NF 001, CAS 437-38-7, FENTANYL, 1-phenethyl-4-N-propionylanilinopiperidine.
Consequences if caught: Fentanyl is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that the analogues carry their own entries and their own codes, so this row answers for the parent only. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. The special quantity that triggers that aggravator is set by Art. 321 and for this row is 200 grams of a synthetic drug, or 400 millilitres where it is in solution. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure.

Gabapentin

Legal status: Not a controlled drug for the purposes of Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal. Gabapentin, searched also as 1-(aminomethyl)cyclohexaneacetic acid, is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, which Article 321 makes the closed definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» Nothing in the surviving definitions in Article 5 of Decreto 126/89 reaches it either, because those definitions name particular substances and close their groups on chemical families this row does not belong to.
Consequences if caught: Gabapentin is outside the offence that Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal create. What distinguishes this row is that no gabapentinoid appears in any of the three lists, so this row and pregabalin share a reason but are checked separately. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. Art. 321 sets the special quantity in five categories, of marihuana, hashish, cocaine, opium and synthetic drug, none of which is engaged by this row. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Honduras's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: Gabapentin is prescribed in many countries and this row places it outside Honduras's controlled drug definition, so Article 12 of Decreto 126/89, which confines medicines containing a controlled substance to prescription sale in an authorised pharmacy, is not what governs it. The name a Honduran pharmacist or customs officer would look for is 1-(aminomethyl)cyclohexaneacetic acid. Carry it in its dispensing packaging with the prescription anyway, because a customs officer reads the box before the schedule.
Documentation: The instrument read for this cell is the consolidated text of the Ley sobre el Uso Indebido y Tráfico Ilícito de Drogas y Sustancias Psicotrópicas, Decreto 126/89, published by the Tribunal Superior de Cuentas, which carries its own footnote to La Gaceta 25992 of 23 November 1989 and to the Decreto 86-93 reform in La Gaceta 27162 of 1 October 1993, together with the Código Penal, Decreto 130-2017, as printed in La Gaceta 34,940 of 10 May 2019.

The names searched across the three lists and across the Honduran text were gabapentin, gabapentina and 1-(aminomethyl)cyclohexaneacetic acid.

GBL

Legal status: Not a controlled drug for the purposes of Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal. GBL, searched also as dihydrofuran-2(3H)-one, is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, which Article 321 makes the closed definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» Nothing in the surviving definitions in Article 5 of Decreto 126/89 reaches it either, because those definitions name particular substances and close their groups on chemical families this row does not belong to.
Consequences if caught: GBL is outside the offence that Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal create. What distinguishes this row is that its hydrolysis product is listed and it is not, and it is absent from the precursor tables as well as from the drug lists. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies.

Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Honduras's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: It reaches consumers as a solvent rather than as a dispensed medicine. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 governs medicines that contain a controlled substance, and this row is not one of them.

Article 11 of Decreto 126/89 survives and still reads «Se prohíbe a toda persona mantener en su poder ya sea en sus ropas o valijas, en su domicilio, lugar de trabajo, automóvil o cualquier otro lugar bajo su orden y responsabilidad, sin autorización legal, cantidad alguna de estupefacientes y sustancias controladas», and Article 6 still routes the definitions through the conventions and the Reglamento de Control de Estupefacientes y otras Drogas Peligrosas, but the article that carried the penalty for breaching them is repealed, so that prohibition now stands without a sanction of its own.

GHB

Legal status: Controlled. GHB is named in Lista II del Convenio de 1971, and Article 321 of the Código Penal (Decreto 130-2017) makes those schedules the definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica for Articles 311 to 313: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The entry read was PG 002, CAS 591-81-1, gamma-HYDROXYBUTIRIC ACID, printed with the other name GHB.
Consequences if caught: GHB is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that the acid is listed and its lactone is not, so the two rows cannot share a result. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. The special quantity that triggers that aggravator is set by Art. 321 and for this row is 200 grams of a synthetic drug, or 400 millilitres where it is in solution. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: A medicine containing GHB is a controlled medicine in Honduras, and the entry that makes it one is PG 002, CAS 591-81-1 in Lista II del Convenio de 1971. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 is still in force and reads «Los medicamentos que contengan estupefacientes o sustancias controladas, sólo podrán ser vendidos al público, mediante receta médica, en farmacias autorizadas», and Article 13 lets a doctor, dentist or vet carry «Los médicos, dentistas y veterinarios podrán tener en su maletín hasta dos ampolletas de drogas controladas». Travel with the prescription, the dispensing label and a letter naming the quantity, and ask the Honduran consulate before you fly, because Article 12 also subjects imports and free samples to authorisation by the health ministry.
Documentation: The instrument read for this cell is the consolidated text of the Ley sobre el Uso Indebido y Tráfico Ilícito de Drogas y Sustancias Psicotrópicas, Decreto 126/89, published by the Tribunal Superior de Cuentas, which carries its own footnote to La Gaceta 25992 of 23 November 1989 and to the Decreto 86-93 reform in La Gaceta 27162 of 1 October 1993, together with the Código Penal, Decreto 130-2017, as printed in La Gaceta 34,940 of 10 May 2019. Articles 16 to 30 and 41 of Decreto 126/89 were repealed by Article 632 of that Code, so the 1989 law now supplies definitions and administrative prohibitions and the Code supplies every offence. The live cell dated the Code to 10 November 2019, which is the date Article 635 as enacted would have produced from a publication of 10 May 2019; commencement was postponed twice and the Code took effect on 25 June 2020. That last date is carried from the reported amendment of Article 635 published in La Gaceta 35,247 of 9 May 2020, which was not read at the gazette for this cell. The schedules Article 321 adopts were read in the International Narcotics Control Board Yellow List, 65th edition of July 2026, the Green List, 36th edition of 2025, and the Red List, 23rd edition of July 2025, on 21 September 2026. GHB was placed by reading the matched entry and not by counting a name hit. The entry read was PG 002, CAS 591-81-1, gamma-HYDROXYBUTIRIC ACID, printed with the other name GHB, in Lista II del Convenio de 1971. Article 11 of Decreto 126/89 survives and still reads «Se prohíbe a toda persona mantener en su poder ya sea en sus ropas o valijas, en su domicilio, lugar de trabajo, automóvil o cualquier otro lugar bajo su orden y responsabilidad, sin autorización legal, cantidad alguna de estupefacientes y sustancias controladas», and Article 6 still routes the definitions through the conventions and the Reglamento de Control de Estupefacientes y otras Drogas Peligrosas, but the article that carried the penalty for breaching them is repealed, so that prohibition now stands without a sanction of its own.

Heroin

Legal status: Controlled. Heroin is named in Listas I y IV de la Convención Única de 1961, and Article 321 of the Código Penal (Decreto 130-2017) makes those schedules the definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica for Articles 311 to 313: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The entry read was NH 001, CAS 561-27-3, HEROIN, diacetylmorphine, printed in Section 1 and again in Section 3 for Schedule IV.
Consequences if caught: Heroin is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that it carries two convention placements, and article 321 counts both of them because it cites Lista I and Lista IV. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. The special quantity that triggers that aggravator is set by Art. 321 and for this row is 60 grams of opium or of its derivatives. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: There is no Honduran prescription route for it. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 governs medicines that contain a controlled substance, and this row is not one of them.

HHC

Legal status: Controlled. HHC is named in Lista II del Convenio de 1971, and Article 321 of the Código Penal (Decreto 130-2017) makes those schedules the definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica for Articles 311 to 313: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The entry read was PH003, CAS 6692-85-9, HEXAHYDROCANNABINOL (HHC), 6,6,9-trimethyl-3-pentyl-6a,7,8,9,10,10a-hexahydrobenzo[c]chromen-1-ol. Which of the two Article 311 bands applies is left open here, because Article 321 draws the line at the derivatives of cannabis sativa and does not say whether a hydrogenated cannabinoid is one.
Consequences if caught: HHC is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that it is the newest addition to these lists and the reason the 36th edition of the Green List was issued. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and which band applies here turns on whether this compound counts as a derivative of cannabis sativa, which Art. 321 does not settle in terms. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. Art. 321 sets the special quantity in five categories, of marihuana, hashish, cocaine, opium and synthetic drug, and which of them this row falls in is not settled by the words of that article. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: No Honduran prescription route exists for a hydrogenated cannabinoid. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 governs medicines that contain a controlled substance, and this row is not one of them.

Articles 16 to 30 and 41 of Decreto 126/89 were repealed by Article 632 of that Code, so the 1989 law now supplies definitions and administrative prohibitions and the Code supplies every offence. The live cell dated the Code to 10 November 2019, which is the date Article 635 as enacted would have produced from a publication of 10 May 2019; commencement was postponed twice and the Code took effect on 25 June 2020. That last date is carried from the reported amendment of Article 635 published in La Gaceta 35,247 of 9 May 2020, which was not read at the gazette for this cell.

Hydrocodone

Legal status: Controlled. Hydrocodone is named in Lista I de la Convención Única de 1961, and Article 321 of the Código Penal (Decreto 130-2017) makes those schedules the definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica for Articles 311 to 313: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The entry read was NH 002, CAS 125-29-1, HYDROCODONE, dihydrocodeinone, printed as a derivative of morphine.
Consequences if caught: Hydrocodone is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that thebacon appears separately as its acetylated enol form, so the two are not one entry. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies.

Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: A medicine containing Hydrocodone is a controlled medicine in Honduras, and the entry that makes it one is NH 002, CAS 125-29-1 in Lista I de la Convención Única de 1961. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 is still in force and reads «Los medicamentos que contengan estupefacientes o sustancias controladas, sólo podrán ser vendidos al público, mediante receta médica, en farmacias autorizadas», and Article 13 lets a doctor, dentist or vet carry «Los médicos, dentistas y veterinarios podrán tener en su maletín hasta dos ampolletas de drogas controladas». Travel with the prescription, the dispensing label and a letter naming the quantity, and ask the Honduran consulate before you fly, because Article 12 also subjects imports and free samples to authorisation by the health ministry.
Documentation: The instrument read for this cell is the consolidated text of the Ley sobre el Uso Indebido y Tráfico Ilícito de Drogas y Sustancias Psicotrópicas, Decreto 126/89, published by the Tribunal Superior de Cuentas, which carries its own footnote to La Gaceta 25992 of 23 November 1989 and to the Decreto 86-93 reform in La Gaceta 27162 of 1 October 1993, together with the Código Penal, Decreto 130-2017, as printed in La Gaceta 34,940 of 10 May 2019. Articles 16 to 30 and 41 of Decreto 126/89 were repealed by Article 632 of that Code, so the 1989 law now supplies definitions and administrative prohibitions and the Code supplies every offence. The live cell dated the Code to 10 November 2019, which is the date Article 635 as enacted would have produced from a publication of 10 May 2019; commencement was postponed twice and the Code took effect on 25 June 2020. That last date is carried from the reported amendment of Article 635 published in La Gaceta 35,247 of 9 May 2020, which was not read at the gazette for this cell. The schedules Article 321 adopts were read in the International Narcotics Control Board Yellow List, 65th edition of July 2026, the Green List, 36th edition of 2025, and the Red List, 23rd edition of July 2025, on 21 September 2026. Hydrocodone was placed by reading the matched entry and not by counting a name hit. The entry read was NH 002, CAS 125-29-1, HYDROCODONE, dihydrocodeinone, printed as a derivative of morphine, in Lista I de la Convención Única de 1961. Article 11 of Decreto 126/89 survives and still reads «Se prohíbe a toda persona mantener en su poder ya sea en sus ropas o valijas, en su domicilio, lugar de trabajo, automóvil o cualquier otro lugar bajo su orden y responsabilidad, sin autorización legal, cantidad alguna de estupefacientes y sustancias controladas», and Article 6 still routes the definitions through the conventions and the Reglamento de Control de Estupefacientes y otras Drogas Peligrosas, but the article that carried the penalty for breaching them is repealed, so that prohibition now stands without a sanction of its own. Carry any controlled medicine in its dispensing packaging with the prescription, and confirm the position with the Honduran consulate before you travel.

Ketamine

Legal status: Not a controlled drug for the purposes of Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal. Ketamine, searched also as 2-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-(methylamino)cyclohexanone, is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, which Article 321 makes the closed definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» Nothing in the surviving definitions in Article 5 of Decreto 126/89 reaches it either, because those definitions name particular substances and close their groups on chemical families this row does not belong to.
Consequences if caught: Ketamine is outside the offence that Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal create. What distinguishes this row is that two of its analogues are listed and it is not, so the only occurrence of its name in these lists is inside the word fluorodeschloroketamine. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. Art. 321 sets the special quantity in five categories, of marihuana, hashish, cocaine, opium and synthetic drug, none of which is engaged by this row. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Honduras's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: Ketamine is prescribed in many countries and this row places it outside Honduras's controlled drug definition, so Article 12 of Decreto 126/89, which confines medicines containing a controlled substance to prescription sale in an authorised pharmacy, is not what governs it. The name a Honduran pharmacist or customs officer would look for is 2-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-(methylamino)cyclohexanone. Carry it in its dispensing packaging with the prescription anyway, because a customs officer reads the box before the schedule.
Documentation: The instrument read for this cell is the consolidated text of the Ley sobre el Uso Indebido y Tráfico Ilícito de Drogas y Sustancias Psicotrópicas, Decreto 126/89, published by the Tribunal Superior de Cuentas, which carries its own footnote to La Gaceta 25992 of 23 November 1989 and to the Decreto 86-93 reform in La Gaceta 27162 of 1 October 1993, together with the Código Penal, Decreto 130-2017, as printed in La Gaceta 34,940 of 10 May 2019. Articles 16 to 30 and 41 of Decreto 126/89 were repealed by Article 632 of that Code, so the 1989 law now supplies definitions and administrative prohibitions and the Code supplies every offence.

That last date is carried from the reported amendment of Article 635 published in La Gaceta 35,247 of 9 May 2020, which was not read at the gazette for this cell. The schedules Article 321 adopts were read in the International Narcotics Control Board Yellow List, 65th edition of July 2026, the Green List, 36th edition of 2025, and the Red List, 23rd edition of July 2025, on 21 September 2026. The names searched across the three lists and across the Honduran text were ketamine, ketamina and 2-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-(methylamino)cyclohexanone. None of them returned an entry. The name did return one occurrence, inside the listed name 2-fluorodeschloroketamine, which is a different compound with its own code and its own CAS number. Article 11 of Decreto 126/89 survives and still reads «Se prohíbe a toda persona mantener en su poder ya sea en sus ropas o valijas, en su domicilio, lugar de trabajo, automóvil o cualquier otro lugar bajo su orden y responsabilidad, sin autorización legal, cantidad alguna de estupefacientes y sustancias controladas», and Article 6 still routes the definitions through the conventions and the Reglamento de Control de Estupefacientes y otras Drogas Peligrosas, but the article that carried the penalty for breaching them is repealed, so that prohibition now stands without a sanction of its own.

Khat

Legal status: Controlled. Khat is reached through the substances it contains, and the entries read were PC 010 CATHINONE in Schedule I and PC 009, CAS 492-39-7, CATHINE, (+)-norpseudoephedrine, in Schedule III. Khat under that name is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, and Article 321 of the Código Penal defines the offence by those schedules: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.»
Consequences if caught: Khat is inside Honduras's drug offence through what it contains rather than under its own name. What distinguishes this row is that its two alkaloids sit in two different schedules and the leaf itself is in neither, so a leaf seizure needs the alkaloid named before a schedule can be picked. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. Art. 321 sets the special quantity in five categories, of marihuana, hashish, cocaine, opium and synthetic drug, and which of them this row falls in is not settled by the words of that article. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: It is chewed leaf rather than a dispensed medicine. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 governs medicines that contain a controlled substance, and this row is not one of them.

Kratom

Legal status: Not a controlled drug for the purposes of Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal. Kratom, searched also as Mitragyna speciosa, is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, which Article 321 makes the closed definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» Nothing in the surviving definitions in Article 5 of Decreto 126/89 reaches it either, because those definitions name particular substances and close their groups on chemical families this row does not belong to.
Consequences if caught: Kratom is outside the offence that Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal create. What distinguishes this row is that the plant and both of the alkaloids this corpus carries rows for are absent together, so no constituent route is open either. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies.

Lorazepam

Legal status: Controlled. Lorazepam is named in Lista IV del Convenio de 1971, and Article 321 of the Código Penal (Decreto 130-2017) makes those schedules the definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica for Articles 311 to 313: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The entry read was PL 004, CAS 846-49-1, LORAZEPAM, 7-chloro-5-(o-chlorophenyl)-1,3-dihydro-3-hydroxy-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one.
Consequences if caught: Lorazepam is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that the hydroxy group is what separates it from delorazepam, whose entry is otherwise the same chemical description. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. The special quantity that triggers that aggravator is set by Art. 321 and for this row is 200 grams of a synthetic drug, or 400 millilitres where it is in solution. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: A medicine containing Lorazepam is a controlled medicine in Honduras, and the entry that makes it one is PL 004, CAS 846-49-1 in Lista IV del Convenio de 1971. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 is still in force and reads «Los medicamentos que contengan estupefacientes o sustancias controladas, sólo podrán ser vendidos al público, mediante receta médica, en farmacias autorizadas», and Article 13 lets a doctor, dentist or vet carry «Los médicos, dentistas y veterinarios podrán tener en su maletín hasta dos ampolletas de drogas controladas». Travel with the prescription, the dispensing label and a letter naming the quantity, and ask the Honduran consulate before you fly, because Article 12 also subjects imports and free samples to authorisation by the health ministry.
Documentation: The instrument read for this cell is the consolidated text of the Ley sobre el Uso Indebido y Tráfico Ilícito de Drogas y Sustancias Psicotrópicas, Decreto 126/89, published by the Tribunal Superior de Cuentas, which carries its own footnote to La Gaceta 25992 of 23 November 1989 and to the Decreto 86-93 reform in La Gaceta 27162 of 1 October 1993, together with the Código Penal, Decreto 130-2017, as printed in La Gaceta 34,940 of 10 May 2019. Articles 16 to 30 and 41 of Decreto 126/89 were repealed by Article 632 of that Code, so the 1989 law now supplies definitions and administrative prohibitions and the Code supplies every offence.

LSD

Legal status: Controlled. LSD is named in Lista I del Convenio de 1971, and Article 321 of the Código Penal (Decreto 130-2017) makes those schedules the definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica for Articles 311 to 313: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The entry read was PL 002, (+)-LYSERGIDE, printed with the other names LSD and LSD-25.
Consequences if caught: LSD is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that Honduras names this one twice in its own definitions, in the hallucinogen group and again among the depressants and stimulants. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. The special quantity that triggers that aggravator is set by Art. 321 and for this row is 200 grams of a synthetic drug, or 400 millilitres where it is in solution. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: LSD reaches people as a powder, a blotter or a pressed tablet rather than as a dispensed medicine, so there is no prescription document to carry for it, and the only official place its name appears is PL 002. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 governs medicines that contain a controlled substance, and this row is not one of them.
Documentation: The instrument read for this cell is the consolidated text of the Ley sobre el Uso Indebido y Tráfico Ilícito de Drogas y Sustancias Psicotrópicas, Decreto 126/89, published by the Tribunal Superior de Cuentas, which carries its own footnote to La Gaceta 25992 of 23 November 1989 and to the Decreto 86-93 reform in La Gaceta 27162 of 1 October 1993, together with the Código Penal, Decreto 130-2017, as printed in La Gaceta 34,940 of 10 May 2019.

Consequences if caught: MDA is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that the Honduran definition prints it as MDA with a Spanish gloss of its own, which is rarer than the convention name. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band.

Consequences if caught: MDMA is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that its Lista I placement is not shared by methylone, whose beta-ketone entry sits in Lista II. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band.

MDPV is named in Lista II del Convenio de 1971, and Article 321 of the Código Penal (Decreto 130-2017) makes those schedules the definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica for Articles 311 to 313: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The entry read was PM 021, CAS 687603-66-3, MDPV, 3,4-methylenedioxypyrovalerone.
Consequences if caught: MDPV is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that it is a pyrrolidinophenone, so neither the Honduran amphetamine definition nor the cathinone entry reaches it and the Lista II entry does the work alone. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. The special quantity that triggers that aggravator is set by Art. 321 and for this row is 200 grams of a synthetic drug, or 400 millilitres where it is in solution. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: MDPV reaches people as a powder, a blotter or a pressed tablet rather than as a dispensed medicine, so there is no prescription document to carry for it, and the only official place its name appears is PM 021, CAS 687603-66-3. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 governs medicines that contain a controlled substance, and this row is not one of them.
Documentation: The instrument read for this cell is the consolidated text of the Ley sobre el Uso Indebido y Tráfico Ilícito de Drogas y Sustancias Psicotrópicas, Decreto 126/89, published by the Tribunal Superior de Cuentas, which carries its own footnote to La Gaceta 25992 of 23 November 1989 and to the Decreto 86-93 reform in La Gaceta 27162 of 1 October 1993, together with the Código Penal, Decreto 130-2017, as printed in La Gaceta 34,940 of 10 May 2019. Articles 16 to 30 and 41 of Decreto 126/89 were repealed by Article 632 of that Code, so the 1989 law now supplies definitions and administrative prohibitions and the Code supplies every offence. The live cell dated the Code to 10 November 2019, which is the date Article 635 as enacted would have produced from a publication of 10 May 2019; commencement was postponed twice and the Code took effect on 25 June 2020. That last date is carried from the reported amendment of Article 635 published in La Gaceta 35,247 of 9 May 2020, which was not read at the gazette for this cell. The schedules Article 321 adopts were read in the International Narcotics Control Board Yellow List, 65th edition of July 2026, the Green List, 36th edition of 2025, and the Red List, 23rd edition of July 2025, on 21 September 2026. MDPV was placed by reading the matched entry and not by counting a name hit. The entry read was PM 021, CAS 687603-66-3, MDPV, 3,4-methylenedioxypyrovalerone, in Lista II del Convenio de 1971. Article 11 of Decreto 126/89 survives and still reads «Se prohíbe a toda persona mantener en su poder ya sea en sus ropas o valijas, en su domicilio, lugar de trabajo, automóvil o cualquier otro lugar bajo su orden y responsabilidad, sin autorización legal, cantidad alguna de estupefacientes y sustancias controladas», and Article 6 still routes the definitions through the conventions and the Reglamento de Control de Estupefacientes y otras Drogas Peligrosas, but the article that carried the penalty for breaching them is repealed, so that prohibition now stands without a sanction of its own. Carry any controlled medicine in its dispensing packaging with the prescription, and confirm the position with the Honduran consulate before you travel.

Memantine

Legal status: Not a controlled drug for the purposes of Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal. Memantine, searched also as 3,5-dimethyladamantan-1-amine, is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, which Article 321 makes the closed definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» Nothing in the surviving definitions in Article 5 of Decreto 126/89 reaches it either, because those definitions name particular substances and close their groups on chemical families this row does not belong to.
Consequences if caught: Memantine is outside the offence that Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal create. What distinguishes this row is that it shares a receptor target with two listed dissociatives and shares no structural description with either. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. Art. 321 sets the special quantity in five categories, of marihuana, hashish, cocaine, opium and synthetic drug, none of which is engaged by this row. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Honduras's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: Memantine is prescribed in many countries and this row places it outside Honduras's controlled drug definition, so Article 12 of Decreto 126/89, which confines medicines containing a controlled substance to prescription sale in an authorised pharmacy, is not what governs it. The name a Honduran pharmacist or customs officer would look for is 3,5-dimethyladamantan-1-amine. Carry it in its dispensing packaging with the prescription anyway, because a customs officer reads the box before the schedule.
Documentation: The instrument read for this cell is the consolidated text of the Ley sobre el Uso Indebido y Tráfico Ilícito de Drogas y Sustancias Psicotrópicas, Decreto 126/89, published by the Tribunal Superior de Cuentas, which carries its own footnote to La Gaceta 25992 of 23 November 1989 and to the Decreto 86-93 reform in La Gaceta 27162 of 1 October 1993, together with the Código Penal, Decreto 130-2017, as printed in La Gaceta 34,940 of 10 May 2019.

That last date is carried from the reported amendment of Article 635 published in La Gaceta 35,247 of 9 May 2020, which was not read at the gazette for this cell.

The names searched across the three lists and across the Honduran text were memantine, memantina and 3,5-dimethyladamantan-1-amine. No entry was returned for any of them, and none of them returned an occurrence of any kind. Article 11 of Decreto 126/89 survives and still reads «Se prohíbe a toda persona mantener en su poder ya sea en sus ropas o valijas, en su domicilio, lugar de trabajo, automóvil o cualquier otro lugar bajo su orden y responsabilidad, sin autorización legal, cantidad alguna de estupefacientes y sustancias controladas», and Article 6 still routes the definitions through the conventions and the Reglamento de Control de Estupefacientes y otras Drogas Peligrosas, but the article that carried the penalty for breaching them is repealed, so that prohibition now stands without a sanction of its own.

Mephedrone (4-MMC)

Legal status: Controlled. Mephedrone is named in Lista II del Convenio de 1971, and Article 321 of the Código Penal (Decreto 130-2017) makes those schedules the definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica for Articles 311 to 313: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The entry read was PM 022, CAS 1189805-46-6, mephedrone, 4-methylmethcathinone.
Consequences if caught: Mephedrone is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that the para isomer is this entry and the meta isomer has its own, so the position of the methyl group decides which line applies. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities.

Mescaline

Legal status: Controlled. Mescaline is named in Lista I del Convenio de 1971, and Article 321 of the Código Penal (Decreto 130-2017) makes those schedules the definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica for Articles 311 to 313: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The entry read was PM 004, mescaline, 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenethylamine.
Consequences if caught: Mescaline is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that the Honduran text spells it two ways in two different numerals of the same article. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band.

Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. Art. 321 sets the special quantity in five categories, of marihuana, hashish, cocaine, opium and synthetic drug, and which of them this row falls in is not settled by the words of that article. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated.

Methadone

Legal status: Controlled. Methadone is named in Lista I de la Convención Única de 1961, and Article 321 of the Código Penal (Decreto 130-2017) makes those schedules the definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica for Articles 311 to 313: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The entry read was NM 002, CAS 76-99-3, METHADONE, 6-dimethylamino-4,4-diphenyl-3-heptanone, with NM 003 METHADONE INTERMEDIATE listed apart.
Consequences if caught: Methadone is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that nothing in its printed description ties it to opium, so the synthetic drug quantity figure is the one that fits. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. The special quantity that triggers that aggravator is set by Art. 321 and for this row is 200 grams of a synthetic drug, or 400 millilitres where it is in solution. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: A medicine containing Methadone is a controlled medicine in Honduras, and the entry that makes it one is NM 002, CAS 76-99-3 in Lista I de la Convención Única de 1961. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 is still in force and reads «Los medicamentos que contengan estupefacientes o sustancias controladas, sólo podrán ser vendidos al público, mediante receta médica, en farmacias autorizadas», and Article 13 lets a doctor, dentist or vet carry «Los médicos, dentistas y veterinarios podrán tener en su maletín hasta dos ampolletas de drogas controladas». Travel with the prescription, the dispensing label and a letter naming the quantity, and ask the Honduran consulate before you fly, because Article 12 also subjects imports and free samples to authorisation by the health ministry.
Documentation: The instrument read for this cell is the consolidated text of the Ley sobre el Uso Indebido y Tráfico Ilícito de Drogas y Sustancias Psicotrópicas, Decreto 126/89, published by the Tribunal Superior de Cuentas, which carries its own footnote to La Gaceta 25992 of 23 November 1989 and to the Decreto 86-93 reform in La Gaceta 27162 of 1 October 1993, together with the Código Penal, Decreto 130-2017, as printed in La Gaceta 34,940 of 10 May 2019. Articles 16 to 30 and 41 of Decreto 126/89 were repealed by Article 632 of that Code, so the 1989 law now supplies definitions and administrative prohibitions and the Code supplies every offence. The live cell dated the Code to 10 November 2019, which is the date Article 635 as enacted would have produced from a publication of 10 May 2019; commencement was postponed twice and the Code took effect on 25 June 2020. That last date is carried from the reported amendment of Article 635 published in La Gaceta 35,247 of 9 May 2020, which was not read at the gazette for this cell.

Methadone was placed by reading the matched entry and not by counting a name hit. The entry read was NM 002, CAS 76-99-3, METHADONE, 6-dimethylamino-4,4-diphenyl-3-heptanone, with NM 003 METHADONE INTERMEDIATE listed apart, in Lista I de la Convención Única de 1961. Article 11 of Decreto 126/89 survives and still reads «Se prohíbe a toda persona mantener en su poder ya sea en sus ropas o valijas, en su domicilio, lugar de trabajo, automóvil o cualquier otro lugar bajo su orden y responsabilidad, sin autorización legal, cantidad alguna de estupefacientes y sustancias controladas», and Article 6 still routes the definitions through the conventions and the Reglamento de Control de Estupefacientes y otras Drogas Peligrosas, but the article that carried the penalty for breaching them is repealed, so that prohibition now stands without a sanction of its own.

Methamphetamine

Legal status: Controlled. Methamphetamine is named in Lista II del Convenio de 1971, and Article 321 of the Código Penal (Decreto 130-2017) makes those schedules the definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica for Articles 311 to 313: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The entry read was PM 005, CAS 537-46-2, METAMFETAMINE, with PM 015 for the racemate and PL 007 for levmetamfetamine on separate lines.
Consequences if caught: Methamphetamine is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that three separate entries answer for the isomers and the racemate, so an identification that stops at the family name settles nothing. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. The special quantity that triggers that aggravator is set by Art. 321 and for this row is 200 grams of a synthetic drug, or 400 millilitres where it is in solution. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: Methamphetamine reaches people as a powder, a blotter or a pressed tablet rather than as a dispensed medicine, so there is no prescription document to carry for it, and the only official place its name appears is PM 005, CAS 537-46-2. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 governs medicines that contain a controlled substance, and this row is not one of them.
Documentation: The instrument read for this cell is the consolidated text of the Ley sobre el Uso Indebido y Tráfico Ilícito de Drogas y Sustancias Psicotrópicas, Decreto 126/89, published by the Tribunal Superior de Cuentas, which carries its own footnote to La Gaceta 25992 of 23 November 1989 and to the Decreto 86-93 reform in La Gaceta 27162 of 1 October 1993, together with the Código Penal, Decreto 130-2017, as printed in La Gaceta 34,940 of 10 May 2019. Articles 16 to 30 and 41 of Decreto 126/89 were repealed by Article 632 of that Code, so the 1989 law now supplies definitions and administrative prohibitions and the Code supplies every offence. The live cell dated the Code to 10 November 2019, which is the date Article 635 as enacted would have produced from a publication of 10 May 2019; commencement was postponed twice and the Code took effect on 25 June 2020.

Methamphetamine was placed by reading the matched entry and not by counting a name hit. The entry read was PM 005, CAS 537-46-2, METAMFETAMINE, with PM 015 for the racemate and PL 007 for levmetamfetamine on separate lines, in Lista II del Convenio de 1971. Article 11 of Decreto 126/89 survives and still reads «Se prohíbe a toda persona mantener en su poder ya sea en sus ropas o valijas, en su domicilio, lugar de trabajo, automóvil o cualquier otro lugar bajo su orden y responsabilidad, sin autorización legal, cantidad alguna de estupefacientes y sustancias controladas», and Article 6 still routes the definitions through the conventions and the Reglamento de Control de Estupefacientes y otras Drogas Peligrosas, but the article that carried the penalty for breaching them is repealed, so that prohibition now stands without a sanction of its own.

Methaqualone (Quaaludes)

Legal status: Controlled. Methaqualone is named in Lista II del Convenio de 1971, and Article 321 of the Código Penal (Decreto 130-2017) makes those schedules the definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica for Articles 311 to 313: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The entry read was PM 006, CAS 72-44-6, METHAQUALONE, 2-methyl-3-o-tolyl-4(3H)-quinazolinone.
Consequences if caught: Methaqualone is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that Honduras names it in its precursor article, as the thing two listed chemicals are used to make, rather than in its drug definitions. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band.

Methylone

Legal status: Controlled. Methylone is named in Lista II del Convenio de 1971, and Article 321 of the Código Penal (Decreto 130-2017) makes those schedules the definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica for Articles 311 to 313: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The entry read was PM 023, CAS 186028-79-5, methylone, beta-keto-MDMA.
Consequences if caught: Methylone is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that the convention prints beta-keto-MDMA as a synonym, and the schedule it lands in is still Lista II and not MDMA's Lista I. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. The special quantity that triggers that aggravator is set by Art. 321 and for this row is 200 grams of a synthetic drug, or 400 millilitres where it is in solution. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one.

If prescribed / medical: Methylone reaches people as a powder, a blotter or a pressed tablet rather than as a dispensed medicine, so there is no prescription document to carry for it, and the only official place its name appears is PM 023, CAS 186028-79-5. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 governs medicines that contain a controlled substance, and this row is not one of them.

Methylphenidate

Legal status: Controlled. Methylphenidate is named in Lista II del Convenio de 1971, and Article 321 of the Código Penal (Decreto 130-2017) makes those schedules the definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica for Articles 311 to 313: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The entry read was PM 007, CAS 113-45-1, METHYLPHENIDATE, methyl alpha-phenyl-2-piperidine acetate.
Consequences if caught: Methylphenidate is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that it is a piperidine acetate and not an amphetamine, so the Honduran amphetamine definition does not reach it and the convention entry has to. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. The special quantity that triggers that aggravator is set by Art. 321 and for this row is 200 grams of a synthetic drug, or 400 millilitres where it is in solution. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: A medicine containing Methylphenidate is a controlled medicine in Honduras, and the entry that makes it one is PM 007, CAS 113-45-1 in Lista II del Convenio de 1971. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 is still in force and reads «Los medicamentos que contengan estupefacientes o sustancias controladas, sólo podrán ser vendidos al público, mediante receta médica, en farmacias autorizadas», and Article 13 lets a doctor, dentist or vet carry «Los médicos, dentistas y veterinarios podrán tener en su maletín hasta dos ampolletas de drogas controladas». Travel with the prescription, the dispensing label and a letter naming the quantity, and ask the Honduran consulate before you fly, because Article 12 also subjects imports and free samples to authorisation by the health ministry.

Mitragynine

Legal status: Not a controlled drug for the purposes of Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal. Mitragynine, searched also as Mitragyna speciosa, is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, which Article 321 makes the closed definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» Nothing in the surviving definitions in Article 5 of Decreto 126/89 reaches it either, because those definitions name particular substances and close their groups on chemical families this row does not belong to.
Consequences if caught: Mitragynine is outside the offence that Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal create. What distinguishes this row is that the alkaloid is absent on its own terms, which is checked here rather than inferred from the kratom row. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. Art. 321 sets the special quantity in five categories, of marihuana, hashish, cocaine, opium and synthetic drug, none of which is engaged by this row. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Honduras's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: It is the principal leaf alkaloid, isolated and sold as a powder rather than dispensed on a prescription. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 governs medicines that contain a controlled substance, and this row is not one of them.

The names searched across the three lists and across the Honduran text were mitragynine, mitraginina, Mitragyna speciosa and 7-hydroxymitragynine. No entry was returned for any of them, and none of them returned an occurrence of any kind. Article 11 of Decreto 126/89 survives and still reads «Se prohíbe a toda persona mantener en su poder ya sea en sus ropas o valijas, en su domicilio, lugar de trabajo, automóvil o cualquier otro lugar bajo su orden y responsabilidad, sin autorización legal, cantidad alguna de estupefacientes y sustancias controladas», and Article 6 still routes the definitions through the conventions and the Reglamento de Control de Estupefacientes y otras Drogas Peligrosas, but the article that carried the penalty for breaching them is repealed, so that prohibition now stands without a sanction of its own.

Modafinil

Legal status: Not a controlled drug for the purposes of Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal. Modafinil, searched also as 2-[(diphenylmethyl)sulfinyl]acetamide, is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, which Article 321 makes the closed definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» Nothing in the surviving definitions in Article 5 of Decreto 126/89 reaches it either, because those definitions name particular substances and close their groups on chemical families this row does not belong to.
Consequences if caught: Modafinil is outside the offence that Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal create. What distinguishes this row is that it is a wakefulness medicine with no entry, and the Honduran stimulant definition names amphetamines and benzedrine rather than stimulants at large. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities.

Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Honduras's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: Modafinil is prescribed in many countries and this row places it outside Honduras's controlled drug definition, so Article 12 of Decreto 126/89, which confines medicines containing a controlled substance to prescription sale in an authorised pharmacy, is not what governs it. The name a Honduran pharmacist or customs officer would look for is 2-[(diphenylmethyl)sulfinyl]acetamide. Carry it in its dispensing packaging with the prescription anyway, because a customs officer reads the box before the schedule.

Morphine

Legal status: Controlled. Morphine is named in Lista I de la Convención Única de 1961, and Article 321 of the Código Penal (Decreto 130-2017) makes those schedules the definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica for Articles 311 to 313: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The entry read was NM 009, CAS 57-27-2, MORPHINE, printed as the principal alkaloid of opium and of the opium poppy.
Consequences if caught: Morphine is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that its entry is what makes the opium quantity figure the right one for the morphine family. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. The special quantity that triggers that aggravator is set by Art. 321 and for this row is 60 grams of opium or of its derivatives. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.

MXE

Legal status: Controlled. Methoxetamine is named in Lista II del Convenio de 1971, and Article 321 of the Código Penal (Decreto 130-2017) makes those schedules the definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica for Articles 311 to 313: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The entry read was PM 024, CAS 1239943-76-0, methoxetamine, MXE, (RS)-2-(3-methoxyphenyl)-2-(ethylamino)-cyclohexanone.
Consequences if caught: Methoxetamine is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that it is listed while ketamine itself is not, so the analogue is controlled where the parent is not. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. The special quantity that triggers that aggravator is set by Art. 321 and for this row is 200 grams of a synthetic drug, or 400 millilitres where it is in solution. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: Methoxetamine reaches people as a powder, a blotter or a pressed tablet rather than as a dispensed medicine, so there is no prescription document to carry for it, and the only official place its name appears is PM 024, CAS 1239943-76-0. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 governs medicines that contain a controlled substance, and this row is not one of them.
Documentation: The instrument read for this cell is the consolidated text of the Ley sobre el Uso Indebido y Tráfico Ilícito de Drogas y Sustancias Psicotrópicas, Decreto 126/89, published by the Tribunal Superior de Cuentas, which carries its own footnote to La Gaceta 25992 of 23 November 1989 and to the Decreto 86-93 reform in La Gaceta 27162 of 1 October 1993, together with the Código Penal, Decreto 130-2017, as printed in La Gaceta 34,940 of 10 May 2019.

Methoxetamine was placed by reading the matched entry and not by counting a name hit.

Nicotine

Legal status: Not a controlled drug for the purposes of Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal. Nicotine, searched also as 3-(1-methylpyrrolidin-2-yl)pyridine, is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, which Article 321 makes the closed definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» Nothing in the surviving definitions in Article 5 of Decreto 126/89 reaches it either, because those definitions name particular substances and close their groups on chemical families this row does not belong to.
Consequences if caught: Nicotine is outside the offence that Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal create. What distinguishes this row is that it is absent although two of its structural relatives, nicocodine and nicodicodine, are listed opiate derivatives. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. Art. 321 sets the special quantity in five categories, of marihuana, hashish, cocaine, opium and synthetic drug, none of which is engaged by this row. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Honduras's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: Replacement products are sold over the counter rather than dispensed on a prescription. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 governs medicines that contain a controlled substance, and this row is not one of them.

The names searched across the three lists and across the Honduran text were nicotine, nicotina and 3-(1-methylpyrrolidin-2-yl)pyridine. No entry was returned for any of them, and none of them returned an occurrence of any kind. Article 11 of Decreto 126/89 survives and still reads «Se prohíbe a toda persona mantener en su poder ya sea en sus ropas o valijas, en su domicilio, lugar de trabajo, automóvil o cualquier otro lugar bajo su orden y responsabilidad, sin autorización legal, cantidad alguna de estupefacientes y sustancias controladas», and Article 6 still routes the definitions through the conventions and the Reglamento de Control de Estupefacientes y otras Drogas Peligrosas, but the article that carried the penalty for breaching them is repealed, so that prohibition now stands without a sanction of its own.

Legal status: Controlled. Nimetazepam is named in Lista IV del Convenio de 1971, and Article 321 of the Código Penal (Decreto 130-2017) makes those schedules the definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica for Articles 311 to 313: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The entry read was PN 001, CAS 2011-67-8, NIMETAZEPAM, 1,3-dihydro-1-methyl-7-nitro-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one.
Consequences if caught: Nimetazepam is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that it is a nitrazepam relative and the nitro group at position seven is what its entry turns on. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band.

Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities.

If prescribed / medical: A medicine containing Nimetazepam is a controlled medicine in Honduras, and the entry that makes it one is PN 001, CAS 2011-67-8 in Lista IV del Convenio de 1971.

Nitrous Oxide

Legal status: Not a controlled drug for the purposes of Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal. Nitrous oxide, searched also as dinitrogen monoxide, is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, which Article 321 makes the closed definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» Nothing in the surviving definitions in Article 5 of Decreto 126/89 reaches it either, because those definitions name particular substances and close their groups on chemical families this row does not belong to.
Consequences if caught: Nitrous oxide is outside the offence that Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal create. What distinguishes this row is that no inhaled anaesthetic gas appears in any of the three lists. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. Art. 321 sets the special quantity in five categories, of marihuana, hashish, cocaine, opium and synthetic drug, none of which is engaged by this row. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Honduras's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: Medical grade gas is a hospital supply rather than a traveller's prescription item. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 governs medicines that contain a controlled substance, and this row is not one of them.
Documentation: The instrument read for this cell is the consolidated text of the Ley sobre el Uso Indebido y Tráfico Ilícito de Drogas y Sustancias Psicotrópicas, Decreto 126/89, published by the Tribunal Superior de Cuentas, which carries its own footnote to La Gaceta 25992 of 23 November 1989 and to the Decreto 86-93 reform in La Gaceta 27162 of 1 October 1993, together with the Código Penal, Decreto 130-2017, as printed in La Gaceta 34,940 of 10 May 2019. Articles 16 to 30 and 41 of Decreto 126/89 were repealed by Article 632 of that Code, so the 1989 law now supplies definitions and administrative prohibitions and the Code supplies every offence. The live cell dated the Code to 10 November 2019, which is the date Article 635 as enacted would have produced from a publication of 10 May 2019; commencement was postponed twice and the Code took effect on 25 June 2020. That last date is carried from the reported amendment of Article 635 published in La Gaceta 35,247 of 9 May 2020, which was not read at the gazette for this cell. The schedules Article 321 adopts were read in the International Narcotics Control Board Yellow List, 65th edition of July 2026, the Green List, 36th edition of 2025, and the Red List, 23rd edition of July 2025, on 21 September 2026. The names searched across the three lists and across the Honduran text were nitrous oxide, óxido nitroso and dinitrogen monoxide. No entry was returned for any of them, and none of them returned an occurrence of any kind. Article 11 of Decreto 126/89 survives and still reads «Se prohíbe a toda persona mantener en su poder ya sea en sus ropas o valijas, en su domicilio, lugar de trabajo, automóvil o cualquier otro lugar bajo su orden y responsabilidad, sin autorización legal, cantidad alguna de estupefacientes y sustancias controladas», and Article 6 still routes the definitions through the conventions and the Reglamento de Control de Estupefacientes y otras Drogas Peligrosas, but the article that carried the penalty for breaching them is repealed, so that prohibition now stands without a sanction of its own. Carry any controlled medicine in its dispensing packaging with the prescription, and confirm the position with the Honduran consulate before you travel.

Opium

Legal status: Controlled. Opium is named in Lista I de la Convención Única de 1961, and Article 321 of the Código Penal (Decreto 130-2017) makes those schedules the definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica for Articles 311 to 313: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The entry read was NO 001, CAS 8008-60-4, OPIUM, the coagulated juice of the opium poppy.
Consequences if caught: Opium is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that the poppy plant is dealt with by a Honduran cultivation article of its own, separately from the juice. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. The special quantity that triggers that aggravator is set by Art. 321 and for this row is 60 grams of opium or of its derivatives. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: Raw opium is a manufacturing input rather than something dispensed to a patient. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 governs medicines that contain a controlled substance, and this row is not one of them.
Documentation: The instrument read for this cell is the consolidated text of the Ley sobre el Uso Indebido y Tráfico Ilícito de Drogas y Sustancias Psicotrópicas, Decreto 126/89, published by the Tribunal Superior de Cuentas, which carries its own footnote to La Gaceta 25992 of 23 November 1989 and to the Decreto 86-93 reform in La Gaceta 27162 of 1 October 1993, together with the Código Penal, Decreto 130-2017, as printed in La Gaceta 34,940 of 10 May 2019.

Opium was placed by reading the matched entry and not by counting a name hit. The entry read was NO 001, CAS 8008-60-4, OPIUM, the coagulated juice of the opium poppy, in Lista I de la Convención Única de 1961. Article 11 of Decreto 126/89 survives and still reads «Se prohíbe a toda persona mantener en su poder ya sea en sus ropas o valijas, en su domicilio, lugar de trabajo, automóvil o cualquier otro lugar bajo su orden y responsabilidad, sin autorización legal, cantidad alguna de estupefacientes y sustancias controladas», and Article 6 still routes the definitions through the conventions and the Reglamento de Control de Estupefacientes y otras Drogas Peligrosas, but the article that carried the penalty for breaching them is repealed, so that prohibition now stands without a sanction of its own.

Oxycodone

Legal status: Controlled. Oxycodone is named in Lista I de la Convención Única de 1961, and Article 321 of the Código Penal (Decreto 130-2017) makes those schedules the definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica for Articles 311 to 313: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The entry read was NO 002, CAS 76-42-6, OXYCODONE, 14-hydroxydihydrocodeinone, printed as a derivate of morphine.
Consequences if caught: Oxycodone is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that the printed description is what places it in the opium derivatives quantity band rather than the synthetic one. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. The special quantity that triggers that aggravator is set by Art. 321 and for this row is 60 grams of opium or of its derivatives. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated.

The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: A medicine containing Oxycodone is a controlled medicine in Honduras, and the entry that makes it one is NO 002, CAS 76-42-6 in Lista I de la Convención Única de 1961. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 is still in force and reads «Los medicamentos que contengan estupefacientes o sustancias controladas, sólo podrán ser vendidos al público, mediante receta médica, en farmacias autorizadas», and Article 13 lets a doctor, dentist or vet carry «Los médicos, dentistas y veterinarios podrán tener en su maletín hasta dos ampolletas de drogas controladas». Travel with the prescription, the dispensing label and a letter naming the quantity, and ask the Honduran consulate before you fly, because Article 12 also subjects imports and free samples to authorisation by the health ministry.

Oxycodone was placed by reading the matched entry and not by counting a name hit.

PCP

Legal status: Controlled. PCP is named in Lista II del Convenio de 1971, and Article 321 of the Código Penal (Decreto 130-2017) makes those schedules the definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica for Articles 311 to 313: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The entry read was PP 005, CAS 77-10-1, PHENCYCLIDINE, printed with the other name PCP.
Consequences if caught: PCP is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that Honduras names phencyclidine in its precursor article, as what piperidine is used to make, which is a second and independent Honduran mention. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. The special quantity that triggers that aggravator is set by Art. 321 and for this row is 200 grams of a synthetic drug, or 400 millilitres where it is in solution. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: PCP reaches people as a powder, a blotter or a pressed tablet rather than as a dispensed medicine, so there is no prescription document to carry for it, and the only official place its name appears is PP 005, CAS 77-10-1. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 governs medicines that contain a controlled substance, and this row is not one of them.

Peyote

Legal status: Controlled. Peyote is reached through the substances it contains, and the entries read were PM 004, mescaline, 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenethylamine. Peyote under that name is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, and Article 321 of the Código Penal defines the offence by those schedules: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.»
Consequences if caught: Peyote is inside Honduras's drug offence through what it contains rather than under its own name. What distinguishes this row is that Honduras names the cactus by name in its own cultivation prohibition while the conventions list only the alkaloid, so the plant and the molecule are reached by different instruments. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. Art. 321 sets the special quantity in five categories, of marihuana, hashish, cocaine, opium and synthetic drug, and which of them this row falls in is not settled by the words of that article. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: It is a cactus rather than a dispensed medicine, though the alkaloid inside it is listed. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 governs medicines that contain a controlled substance, and this row is not one of them.

Phenibut

Legal status: Not a controlled drug for the purposes of Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal. Phenibut, searched also as 4-amino-3-phenylbutanoic acid, is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, which Article 321 makes the closed definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» Nothing in the surviving definitions in Article 5 of Decreto 126/89 reaches it either, because those definitions name particular substances and close their groups on chemical families this row does not belong to.
Consequences if caught: Phenibut is outside the offence that Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal create. What distinguishes this row is that it is a phenyl derivative of a neurotransmitter rather than a member of any listed chemical family. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. Art. 321 sets the special quantity in five categories, of marihuana, hashish, cocaine, opium and synthetic drug, none of which is engaged by this row. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Honduras's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: It is dispensed in a small number of countries and nowhere as a Honduran medicine. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 governs medicines that contain a controlled substance, and this row is not one of them.

The names searched across the three lists and across the Honduran text were phenibut, fenibut and 4-amino-3-phenylbutanoic acid. No entry was returned for any of them, and none of them returned an occurrence of any kind.

Pink Cocaine / Tusi

Legal status: Controlled only once a constituent is identified. Pink cocaine is reached through whichever listed substance a sample turns out to contain, and the entries read were NC 004 COCAINE in the 1961 Lista I, PM 011 MDMA in the 1971 Lista I, and no entry anywhere for the street name. The street name itself is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, and because the name fixes no composition it cannot be said which article reaches it. That is a confirmed answer about a street label and not a gap in the research: the composition is what varies, and the row is deliberately left opening on the label rather than on a deferral.
Consequences if caught: Pink cocaine is a street name, so what it is inside or outside of depends on the sample. What distinguishes this row is that it is a colour and a street name rather than a composition, and samples sold under it have been found to contain none of the substances the name suggests. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. Art. 321 sets the special quantity in five categories, of marihuana, hashish, cocaine, opium and synthetic drug, and which of them this row falls in is not settled by the words of that article. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated.

The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: It is a street mixture and there is no prescription form of it. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 governs medicines that contain a controlled substance, and this row is not one of them.

Poppers

Legal status: Not a controlled drug for the purposes of Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal. Poppers, searched also as nitrito de alquilo, is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, which Article 321 makes the closed definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» Nothing in the surviving definitions in Article 5 of Decreto 126/89 reaches it either, because those definitions name particular substances and close their groups on chemical families this row does not belong to.
Consequences if caught: Poppers is outside the offence that Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal create. What distinguishes this row is that it is a product name rather than a compound, and no nitrite it could contain is listed, so the identification question does not arise.

Pregabalin

Legal status: Not a controlled drug for the purposes of Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal. Pregabalin, searched also as (S)-3-(aminomethyl)-5-methylhexanoic acid, is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, which Article 321 makes the closed definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» Nothing in the surviving definitions in Article 5 of Decreto 126/89 reaches it either, because those definitions name particular substances and close their groups on chemical families this row does not belong to.
Consequences if caught: Pregabalin is outside the offence that Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal create. What distinguishes this row is that it is checked under its own name rather than through gabapentin, and the two are absent for the same reason. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. Art. 321 sets the special quantity in five categories, of marihuana, hashish, cocaine, opium and synthetic drug, none of which is engaged by this row. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Honduras's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: Pregabalin is prescribed in many countries and this row places it outside Honduras's controlled drug definition, so Article 12 of Decreto 126/89, which confines medicines containing a controlled substance to prescription sale in an authorised pharmacy, is not what governs it. The name a Honduran pharmacist or customs officer would look for is (S)-3-(aminomethyl)-5-methylhexanoic acid. Carry it in its dispensing packaging with the prescription anyway, because a customs officer reads the box before the schedule.

Psilocybin

Legal status: Controlled. Psilocybin is named in Lista I del Convenio de 1971, and Article 321 of the Código Penal (Decreto 130-2017) makes those schedules the definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica for Articles 311 to 313: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The entry read was PP 013, PSILOCYBINE, with PP 012 psilocine, psilotsin printed on the line above it.
Consequences if caught: Psilocybin is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that psilocybin and psilocin are two entries, and the Honduran definition names both of them. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. Art. 321 sets the special quantity in five categories, of marihuana, hashish, cocaine, opium and synthetic drug, and which of them this row falls in is not settled by the words of that article. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: It is taken as mushrooms or as an isolate rather than dispensed in Honduras. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 governs medicines that contain a controlled substance, and this row is not one of them.

Psilocybin was placed by reading the matched entry and not by counting a name hit. The entry read was PP 013, PSILOCYBINE, with PP 012 psilocine, psilotsin printed on the line above it, in Lista I del Convenio de 1971.

Quetiapine

Legal status: Not a controlled drug for the purposes of Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal. Quetiapine, searched also as 2-[2-(4-dibenzo[b,f][1,4]thiazepin-11-yl-1-piperazinyl)ethoxy]ethanol, is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, which Article 321 makes the closed definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» Nothing in the surviving definitions in Article 5 of Decreto 126/89 reaches it either, because those definitions name particular substances and close their groups on chemical families this row does not belong to.
Consequences if caught: Quetiapine is outside the offence that Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal create. What distinguishes this row is that it is an antipsychotic, and the Honduran depressant definition turns on barbituric acid and amphetamines rather than on sedation. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days.

Salvia divinorum

Legal status: Not a controlled drug for the purposes of Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal. Salvia divinorum, searched also as salvinorin A, is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, which Article 321 makes the closed definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» Nothing in the surviving definitions in Article 5 of Decreto 126/89 reaches it either, because those definitions name particular substances and close their groups on chemical families this row does not belong to.
Consequences if caught: Salvia divinorum is outside the offence that Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal create. What distinguishes this row is that neither the plant nor salvinorin A appears, and the Honduran plant article names poppy, cannabis, coca and peyote and stops there. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities.

Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Honduras's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.

Scopolamine (Devil's Breath)

Legal status: Not a controlled drug for the purposes of Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal. Scopolamine, searched also as escopolamina, is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, which Article 321 makes the closed definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» Nothing in the surviving definitions in Article 5 of Decreto 126/89 reaches it either, because those definitions name particular substances and close their groups on chemical families this row does not belong to.
Consequences if caught: Scopolamine is outside the offence that Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal create. What distinguishes this row is that it is a tropane like cocaine and, unlike cocaine, has no entry in any of the three lists. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. Art. 321 sets the special quantity in five categories, of marihuana, hashish, cocaine, opium and synthetic drug, none of which is engaged by this row. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Honduras's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: Scopolamine is prescribed in many countries and this row places it outside Honduras's controlled drug definition, so Article 12 of Decreto 126/89, which confines medicines containing a controlled substance to prescription sale in an authorised pharmacy, is not what governs it. The name a Honduran pharmacist or customs officer would look for is escopolamina. Carry it in its dispensing packaging with the prescription anyway, because a customs officer reads the box before the schedule.

Synthetic Cannabinoids (K2 / Spice)

Legal status: Controlled. Synthetic cannabinoids is reached through the substances it contains, and the entries read were PJ 001 JWH-018, PA 008 AM-2201, PA 009 5F-APINACA, PA 010 5F-AMB, PC 011 AB-CHMINACA, PF 010 AB-FUBINACA, PM 025 MDMB-CHMICA, PM 028 5F-MDMB-PICA, PM 029 4F-MDMB-BINACA, PM 030 MDMB-4en-PINACA, PP 011 5F-ADB, PP 018 AB-PINACA and PP 026 5F-PB-22, each on its own line. Synthetic cannabinoids under that name is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, and Article 321 of the Código Penal defines the offence by those schedules: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.»
Consequences if caught: Synthetic cannabinoids is inside Honduras's drug offence through what it contains rather than under its own name. What distinguishes this row is that thirteen separate molecules are listed and the class word is not, and none of them is a derivative of the cannabis plant, which decides which penalty band they fall in. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. The special quantity that triggers that aggravator is set by Art. 321 and for this row is 200 grams of a synthetic drug, or 400 millilitres where it is in solution. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one.

The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.

THC-P

Legal status: Not a controlled drug for the purposes of Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal. THC-P, searched also as heptyl tetrahydrocannabinol, is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, which Article 321 makes the closed definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The surviving definitions in Article 5 of Decreto 126/89 are a separate question: numeral 20 names «el THC (Tetrahidrocannabinol) y otros similares», so a cannabinoid can be caught by the 1989 law's own open wording even where the closed definition in Article 321 does not. Where it does bite, it now bites without a penalty of its own, because Article 632 repealed the article of the 1989 law that punished a breach.
Consequences if caught: THC-P is outside the offence that Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal create. What distinguishes this row is that the listed tetrahydrocannabinol block names six isomers and every one of them carries a pentyl side chain, which this compound does not. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. Art. 321 sets the special quantity in five categories, of marihuana, hashish, cocaine, opium and synthetic drug, none of which is engaged by this row. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Honduras's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: It appears in vape and edible products rather than in any dispensary. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 governs medicines that contain a controlled substance, and this row is not one of them.
Documentation: The instrument read for this cell is the consolidated text of the Ley sobre el Uso Indebido y Tráfico Ilícito de Drogas y Sustancias Psicotrópicas, Decreto 126/89, published by the Tribunal Superior de Cuentas, which carries its own footnote to La Gaceta 25992 of 23 November 1989 and to the Decreto 86-93 reform in La Gaceta 27162 of 1 October 1993, together with the Código Penal, Decreto 130-2017, as printed in La Gaceta 34,940 of 10 May 2019. Articles 16 to 30 and 41 of Decreto 126/89 were repealed by Article 632 of that Code, so the 1989 law now supplies definitions and administrative prohibitions and the Code supplies every offence. The live cell dated the Code to 10 November 2019, which is the date Article 635 as enacted would have produced from a publication of 10 May 2019; commencement was postponed twice and the Code took effect on 25 June 2020. That last date is carried from the reported amendment of Article 635 published in La Gaceta 35,247 of 9 May 2020, which was not read at the gazette for this cell.

The names searched across the three lists and across the Honduran text were THC-P, tetrahydrocannabiphorol, tetrahidrocannabiforol and heptyl tetrahydrocannabinol. No entry was returned for any of them, and none of them returned an occurrence of any kind.

Tobacco

Legal status: Not a controlled drug for the purposes of Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal. Tobacco, searched also as Nicotiana tabacum, is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, which Article 321 makes the closed definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» Nothing in the surviving definitions in Article 5 of Decreto 126/89 reaches it either, because those definitions name particular substances and close their groups on chemical families this row does not belong to.
Consequences if caught: Tobacco is outside the offence that Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal create. What distinguishes this row is that the plant is absent, and so is the alkaloid that this corpus carries a separate row for. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. Art. 321 sets the special quantity in five categories, of marihuana, hashish, cocaine, opium and synthetic drug, none of which is engaged by this row. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Honduras's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: It is a plant product sold under tobacco law rather than dispensed. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 governs medicines that contain a controlled substance, and this row is not one of them.
Documentation: The instrument read for this cell is the consolidated text of the Ley sobre el Uso Indebido y Tráfico Ilícito de Drogas y Sustancias Psicotrópicas, Decreto 126/89, published by the Tribunal Superior de Cuentas, which carries its own footnote to La Gaceta 25992 of 23 November 1989 and to the Decreto 86-93 reform in La Gaceta 27162 of 1 October 1993, together with the Código Penal, Decreto 130-2017, as printed in La Gaceta 34,940 of 10 May 2019. Articles 16 to 30 and 41 of Decreto 126/89 were repealed by Article 632 of that Code, so the 1989 law now supplies definitions and administrative prohibitions and the Code supplies every offence. The live cell dated the Code to 10 November 2019, which is the date Article 635 as enacted would have produced from a publication of 10 May 2019; commencement was postponed twice and the Code took effect on 25 June 2020. That last date is carried from the reported amendment of Article 635 published in La Gaceta 35,247 of 9 May 2020, which was not read at the gazette for this cell. The schedules Article 321 adopts were read in the International Narcotics Control Board Yellow List, 65th edition of July 2026, the Green List, 36th edition of 2025, and the Red List, 23rd edition of July 2025, on 21 September 2026. The names searched across the three lists and across the Honduran text were tobacco, Nicotiana tabacum, tabaco and nicotine. No entry was returned for any of them, and none of them returned an occurrence of any kind. Article 11 of Decreto 126/89 survives and still reads «Se prohíbe a toda persona mantener en su poder ya sea en sus ropas o valijas, en su domicilio, lugar de trabajo, automóvil o cualquier otro lugar bajo su orden y responsabilidad, sin autorización legal, cantidad alguna de estupefacientes y sustancias controladas», and Article 6 still routes the definitions through the conventions and the Reglamento de Control de Estupefacientes y otras Drogas Peligrosas, but the article that carried the penalty for breaching them is repealed, so that prohibition now stands without a sanction of its own. Carry any controlled medicine in its dispensing packaging with the prescription, and confirm the position with the Honduran consulate before you travel.

Tramadol

Legal status: Not a controlled drug for the purposes of Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal. Tramadol, searched also as 2-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)cyclohexanol, is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, which Article 321 makes the closed definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» Nothing in the surviving definitions in Article 5 of Decreto 126/89 reaches it either, because those definitions name particular substances and close their groups on chemical families this row does not belong to.
Consequences if caught: Tramadol is outside the offence that Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal create. What distinguishes this row is that it is an opioid analgesic with no entry, while the Honduran opiate definition names morphine, heroin, codeine and papaverine. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies.

Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. Art. 321 sets the special quantity in five categories, of marihuana, hashish, cocaine, opium and synthetic drug, none of which is engaged by this row. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Honduras's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: Tramadol is prescribed in many countries and this row places it outside Honduras's controlled drug definition, so Article 12 of Decreto 126/89, which confines medicines containing a controlled substance to prescription sale in an authorised pharmacy, is not what governs it. The name a Honduran pharmacist or customs officer would look for is 2-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)cyclohexanol. Carry it in its dispensing packaging with the prescription anyway, because a customs officer reads the box before the schedule.

Xanax (Alprazolam)

Legal status: Controlled. Alprazolam is named in Lista IV del Convenio de 1971, and Article 321 of the Código Penal (Decreto 130-2017) makes those schedules the definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica for Articles 311 to 313: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The entry read was PA 004, CAS 28981-97-7, ALPRAZOLAM, with flualprazolam listed separately as PF 011.
Consequences if caught: Alprazolam is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that the fluorinated analogue has its own line, so a result for this entry is not a result for that one. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. The special quantity that triggers that aggravator is set by Art. 321 and for this row is 200 grams of a synthetic drug, or 400 millilitres where it is in solution. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: A medicine containing Alprazolam is a controlled medicine in Honduras, and the entry that makes it one is PA 004, CAS 28981-97-7 in Lista IV del Convenio de 1971. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 is still in force and reads «Los medicamentos que contengan estupefacientes o sustancias controladas, sólo podrán ser vendidos al público, mediante receta médica, en farmacias autorizadas», and Article 13 lets a doctor, dentist or vet carry «Los médicos, dentistas y veterinarios podrán tener en su maletín hasta dos ampolletas de drogas controladas». Travel with the prescription, the dispensing label and a letter naming the quantity, and ask the Honduran consulate before you fly, because Article 12 also subjects imports and free samples to authorisation by the health ministry.

Articles 16 to 30 and 41 of Decreto 126/89 were repealed by Article 632 of that Code, so the 1989 law now supplies definitions and administrative prohibitions and the Code supplies every offence. The live cell dated the Code to 10 November 2019, which is the date Article 635 as enacted would have produced from a publication of 10 May 2019; commencement was postponed twice and the Code took effect on 25 June 2020.

Alprazolam was placed by reading the matched entry and not by counting a name hit. The entry read was PA 004, CAS 28981-97-7, ALPRAZOLAM, with flualprazolam listed separately as PF 011, in Lista IV del Convenio de 1971. Article 11 of Decreto 126/89 survives and still reads «Se prohíbe a toda persona mantener en su poder ya sea en sus ropas o valijas, en su domicilio, lugar de trabajo, automóvil o cualquier otro lugar bajo su orden y responsabilidad, sin autorización legal, cantidad alguna de estupefacientes y sustancias controladas», and Article 6 still routes the definitions through the conventions and the Reglamento de Control de Estupefacientes y otras Drogas Peligrosas, but the article that carried the penalty for breaching them is repealed, so that prohibition now stands without a sanction of its own.

Xylazine

Legal status: Not a controlled drug for the purposes of Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal. Xylazine, searched also as 2-(2,6-dimethylphenylamino)-4H-5,6-dihydro-1,3-thiazine, is not named in Listas I, II or IV of the 1961 Convention or in Listas I to IV of the 1971 Convention, which Article 321 makes the closed definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» Nothing in the surviving definitions in Article 5 of Decreto 126/89 reaches it either, because those definitions name particular substances and close their groups on chemical families this row does not belong to.
Consequences if caught: Xylazine is outside the offence that Articles 311 to 313 of the Código Penal create. What distinguishes this row is that it is a veterinary sedative with no entry, and it is found in mixtures with listed opioids rather than being one. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. Art. 321 sets the special quantity in five categories, of marihuana, hashish, cocaine, opium and synthetic drug, none of which is engaged by this row. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Honduras's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure.

The live cell dated the Code to 10 November 2019, which is the date Article 635 as enacted would have produced from a publication of 10 May 2019; commencement was postponed twice and the Code took effect on 25 June 2020. That last date is carried from the reported amendment of Article 635 published in La Gaceta 35,247 of 9 May 2020, which was not read at the gazette for this cell. The schedules Article 321 adopts were read in the International Narcotics Control Board Yellow List, 65th edition of July 2026, the Green List, 36th edition of 2025, and the Red List, 23rd edition of July 2025, on 21 September 2026. The names searched across the three lists and across the Honduran text were xylazine, xilacina and 2-(2,6-dimethylphenylamino)-4H-5,6-dihydro-1,3-thiazine. No entry was returned for any of them, and none of them returned an occurrence of any kind. Article 11 of Decreto 126/89 survives and still reads «Se prohíbe a toda persona mantener en su poder ya sea en sus ropas o valijas, en su domicilio, lugar de trabajo, automóvil o cualquier otro lugar bajo su orden y responsabilidad, sin autorización legal, cantidad alguna de estupefacientes y sustancias controladas», and Article 6 still routes the definitions through the conventions and the Reglamento de Control de Estupefacientes y otras Drogas Peligrosas, but the article that carried the penalty for breaching them is repealed, so that prohibition now stands without a sanction of its own. Carry any controlled medicine in its dispensing packaging with the prescription, and confirm the position with the Honduran consulate before you travel.

Xylazine in Honduras, full detail →

Zolpidem

Legal status: Controlled. Zolpidem is named in Lista IV del Convenio de 1971, and Article 321 of the Código Penal (Decreto 130-2017) makes those schedules the definition of droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica for Articles 311 to 313: «Por droga, estupefaciente o sustancia psicotrópica, se entiende cualquiera de las sustancias incluidas en las Listas I, II y IV de la Convención Única y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre estupefacientes, hecha en Nueva York de 1961 y en las Listas I, II, III y IV del Convenio y sus Protocolos de Naciones Unidas sobre sustancias psicotrópicas, hecho en Viena, el 21 de febrero de 1971.» The entry read was PZ 002, CAS 82626-48-0, ZOLPIDEM, N,N,6-trimethyl-2-p-tolylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-acetamide.
Consequences if caught: Zolpidem is inside Honduras's drug offence in its own right. What distinguishes this row is that it is an imidazopyridine, so no benzodiazepine reading reaches it and the listed name is the whole of its placement. Art. 311 sets 4 to 7 years where the drug does not cause grave harm to health and 7 to 10 years in every other case, and Art. 321 confines the lighter band to the cannabis derivatives, so 7 to 10 years is this row's band. The fine under Art. 311 is 100 to 500 days. Art. 311's second paragraph allows 1 to 3 years or 2 to 5 years instead where the facts and the offender's own circumstances show lesser gravity, and that reduction is closed once an Art. 312 aggravator applies. Art. 312 replaces those terms with 10 to 15 years and a fine of 300 to 500 days on any of nine listed aggravators, and adds a further third where the organised group aggravator meets either the special quantity or the extraordinary transport one. Art. 313 cuts the Art. 311 first paragraph terms and the Art. 312 terms by a third on confession or on cooperation with the authorities. The special quantity that triggers that aggravator is set by Art. 321 and for this row is 200 grams of a synthetic drug, or 400 millilitres where it is in solution. Art. 26 of Decreto 126/89, which set a first offence internment of up to 30 days in a rehabilitation centre with a fine, was repealed by Art. 632 of the Código Penal, which repeals Arts 16 to 30 and 41 of that law by name, so the 30 day figure is corrected here rather than restated. Nothing replaced it inside the Code's drug chapter, and Art. 311 reaches possession only where the substance is held for the purposes that article lists, so neither the Código Penal nor Decreto 126/89 as it now stands fixes a personal use quantity or a personal use measure. Those are the two instruments read for this cell, and other Honduran law was not searched for one. The Art. 311 bands of 4 to 7 and 7 to 10 years, the Art. 312 band of 10 to 15 years and the 30 day figure from Art. 26 are carried forward from the live cell and not re-derived here, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play. The Art. 311 fine, the lesser gravity terms, Art. 313 and the Art. 321 quantities are read from the Gaceta text and are new to this cell.
If prescribed / medical: A medicine containing Zolpidem is a controlled medicine in Honduras, and the entry that makes it one is PZ 002, CAS 82626-48-0 in Lista IV del Convenio de 1971. Article 12 of Decreto 126/89 is still in force and reads «Los medicamentos que contengan estupefacientes o sustancias controladas, sólo podrán ser vendidos al público, mediante receta médica, en farmacias autorizadas», and Article 13 lets a doctor, dentist or vet carry «Los médicos, dentistas y veterinarios podrán tener en su maletín hasta dos ampolletas de drogas controladas». Travel with the prescription, the dispensing label and a letter naming the quantity, and ask the Honduran consulate before you fly, because Article 12 also subjects imports and free samples to authorisation by the health ministry.

Zolpidem was placed by reading the matched entry and not by counting a name hit. The entry read was PZ 002, CAS 82626-48-0, ZOLPIDEM, N,N,6-trimethyl-2-p-tolylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-acetamide, in Lista IV del Convenio de 1971.
