1P-LSD

Legal status: Controlled. 1P-LSD is a named entry of the új pszichoaktív anyagok jegyzéke carried in the 3. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, at row 21 of the numbered table at point 6.1. Column A of that row reads «1P-LSD (1-propionyl-d-lysergic acid diethylamide)». Column B reads «N,N-diethyl-7-methyl-4-propanoyl-6,6a,8,9-tetrahydroindolo[4,3-fg]quinoline-9-carboxamide». Five further lysergamide rows in the same table are the acetyl, butyryl, cyclopropanecarbonyl, pentanoyl and thiophene carbonyl homologues, among them «ALD-52; 1-acetyl-LSD» and «1cP-LSD», and they are different molecules. The parent lysergide is a P1 row at 70 and is not this row. Points 6.2 and 6.3 of that melléklet extend the entry to «az ebben a jegyzékben felsorolt anyagok sztereoizomerjei, ha kémiai szerkezetük alapján azok léteznek,» and to «az ebben a jegyzékben felsorolt anyagok sói, beleértve a 6.2. pontban említett sztereoizomerek sóit, ha ilyen sók léteznek.» Point 7 adds that for listing purposes columns A and B of the table govern and columns C and D are search aids, «A jegyzékbe sorolás szempontjából a 6.1. pontban foglalt táblázat A és B oszlopában található adatok irányadóak, a C és D oszlop adatai a vegyületek számítógépes kereshetőségét biztosítják.». The 3. melléklet applies by its own opening words only where the compound is not already on the other two, «ha azok az 1. és 2. melléklet szerinti jegyzékeken nem szerepelnek». Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary 1P-LSD sits at row 21 of the table at point 6.1 of the 3. melléklet of 78/2022, and where a row sits is what decides whether the ordinary section 176 lane applies. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is printed. Section 461(5)(f) sets the csekély mennyiség, the small quantity, at «6. pontja szerinti anyagok esetében a 2 gramm», which is 2 gramm of pure active ingredient for the substances at point 6 of the 3. melléklet. Section 461(6) puts the significant quantity at more than twenty times the upper limit of that small quantity and section 461(7) puts the particularly significant quantity at more than two hundred times it. Section 461(8) adds that for a compound occurring in salt form the pure active ingredient content means the content expressed as base, «E törvény alkalmazásában só formában előforduló vegyületek esetén tiszta hatóanyag-tartalom alatt a bázis formában megadott hatóanyag-tartalmat kell érteni.». The live Hungary cell printed the same rule for this row, in its own words: 2 g pure active ingredient for Annex 3 point 6 substances; Btk. §461(5)(f). This pass re-derived it from the text of the Act rather than carrying the figure forward. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for 1P-LSD in Hungary and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the placement: the row this cell relies on is inside the definition section 459(1a) carries into the Criminal Code, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. The row this cell relies on is row 21 of the table at point 6.1 of the 3. melléklet. Do not read this row as a statement that 1P-LSD cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for 1P-LSD, and get the Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer, and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. The row relied on for this cell is row 21 of the table at point 6.1 of the 3. melléklet. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2022-78-20-0A on 21 September 2026 in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026. Its section 1 puts the kábítószer jegyzékek in the 1. melléklet, the pszichotróp anyag jegyzékek in the 2. melléklet, «A 2. melléklet tartalmazza a pszichotróp anyagnak minősülő anyagok jegyzékeit.», and the új pszichoaktív anyag jegyzék in the 3. melléklet. The Criminal Code was read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2012-100-00-00 on 21 September 2026 in the consolidated text as in force on 26 August 2026, and that rendering stops at section 339, so sections 459(1a) and 461 were read instead in the Act that enacted them, 2025. évi XIX. törvény sections 26 and 27, at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2025-19-00-00.0. The Criminal Code page carries a footnote recording that section 461 is the text established by section 27 of that Act, so the two readings agree. On the instrument itself: the schedules are not in 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet. That decree survives as the activities, licensing and definitions instrument, its 1. melléklet was repealed by section 11 h) of 607/2022. (XII. 28.) Korm. rendelet, and 78/2022 has carried the jegyzékek since 1 January 2023.

Hungary, 1P-LSD, a named entry at row 21 of the numbered table at point 6.1 of the 3. melléklet of 78/2022. (XII. 28.)

2-FDCK

Legal status: Controlled. 2-FDCK is a named entry of the új pszichoaktív anyagok jegyzéke carried in the 3. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, at row 31 of the numbered table at point 6.1. Column A of that row reads «2-fluorodeschloroketamine; 2-Fl-2’-Oxo-PCM; fluoroketamine; 2-FDCK; 2F-DK; 2-FDK; 2-FK». Column A prints the official name followed by a run of aliases, and the full text of it is «2-fluorodeschloroketamine; 2-Fl-2’-Oxo-PCM; fluoroketamine; 2-FDCK; 2F-DK; 2-FDK; 2-FK», so the acronym asked for is printed in the row itself. Column B reads «2-(2-fluorophenyl)-2-(methylamino)cyclohexanone». The deschloro parent is a separate row at 20 and the N-ethyl fluorinated form a third at 315. Points 6.2 and 6.3 of that melléklet extend the entry to «az ebben a jegyzékben felsorolt anyagok sztereoizomerjei, ha kémiai szerkezetük alapján azok léteznek,» and to «az ebben a jegyzékben felsorolt anyagok sói, beleértve a 6.2. pontban említett sztereoizomerek sóit, ha ilyen sók léteznek.» Point 7 adds that for listing purposes columns A and B of the table govern and columns C and D are search aids, «A jegyzékbe sorolás szempontjából a 6.1. pontban foglalt táblázat A és B oszlopában található adatok irányadóak, a C és D oszlop adatai a vegyületek számítógépes kereshetőségét biztosítják.». The 3. melléklet applies by its own opening words only where the compound is not already on the other two, «ha azok az 1. és 2. melléklet szerinti jegyzékeken nem szerepelnek». Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary 2-FDCK sits at row 31 of the table at point 6.1 of the 3. melléklet of 78/2022, and where a row sits is what decides whether the ordinary section 176 lane applies. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is printed. Section 461(5)(f) sets the csekély mennyiség, the small quantity, at «6. pontja szerinti anyagok esetében a 2 gramm», which is 2 gramm of pure active ingredient for the substances at point 6 of the 3. melléklet. Section 461(6) puts the significant quantity at more than twenty times the upper limit of that small quantity and section 461(7) puts the particularly significant quantity at more than two hundred times it. Section 461(8) adds that for a compound occurring in salt form the pure active ingredient content means the content expressed as base, «E törvény alkalmazásában só formában előforduló vegyületek esetén tiszta hatóanyag-tartalom alatt a bázis formában megadott hatóanyag-tartalmat kell érteni.». The live Hungary cell printed the same rule for this row, in its own words: 2 g pure active ingredient for Annex 3 point 6 substances; Btk. §461(5)(f). This pass re-derived it from the text of the Act rather than carrying the figure forward. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for 2-FDCK in Hungary and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the placement: the row this cell relies on is inside the definition section 459(1a) carries into the Criminal Code, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. The row this cell relies on is row 31 of the table at point 6.1 of the 3. melléklet. Do not read this row as a statement that 2-FDCK cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for 2-FDCK, and get the Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer, and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. The row relied on for this cell is row 31 of the table at point 6.1 of the 3. melléklet. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.)

The Criminal Code page carries a footnote recording that section 461 is the text established by section 27 of that Act, so the two readings agree. On the instrument itself: the schedules are not in 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet. That decree survives as the activities, licensing and definitions instrument, its 1. melléklet was repealed by section 11 h) of 607/2022. (XII. 28.)

25I-NBOMe

Legal status: Controlled. 25I-NBOMe is a named entry of the P1 jegyzék carried in the 2. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 4 reads «25I-NBOMe». Column B reads «2C-I-NBOMe» and column C reads «2-(4-iodo-2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-N-(2-methoxybenzyl)ethanamine». The decree prints the molecule a second time in its own European law clause, which recites «a 4-jód-2,5-dimetoxi-N-(2-metoxi-benzil)fenetilamin (25I-NBOMe)», so the row and the recital agree. Paragraph 1.2 of the P1 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok sztereoizomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their salts where those exist. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary 25I-NBOMe sits at row 4 of the P1 jegyzék of 78/2022, and where a row sits is what decides whether the ordinary section 176 lane applies. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is not a printed weight. Section 461(4) covers a substance that sits on the K1 or K2 jegyzék of the 1. melléklet or the P1 or P2 jegyzék of the 2. melléklet and is not one of the substances section 461(1) or (2) names, and section 461(4)(a) makes the quantity small where the pure active ingredient content does not exceed seven times the average effective dose for a consumer who is not habituated, «csekély mennyiségű, ha annak tiszta hatóanyag-tartalma a hozzá nem szokott fogyasztó átlagos hatásos adagjának hétszeres mértékét nem haladja meg,». Section 461(4)(b) and (c) put the significant quantity at more than one hundred and forty times that dose and the particularly significant quantity at more than one thousand four hundred times it. The live Hungary cell printed the same rule for this row, in its own words: Seven times the average effective dose for a non-habituated user; Btk. §461(4)(a). This pass re-derived it from the text of the Act rather than carrying the figure forward. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for 25I-NBOMe in Hungary and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the placement: the row this cell relies on is inside the definition section 459(1a) carries into the Criminal Code, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. The row this cell relies on is row 4 of the P1 jegyzék. Do not read this row as a statement that 25I-NBOMe cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for 25I-NBOMe, and get the Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer, and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists.

2C-B

Legal status: Controlled. 2C-B is a named entry of the P2 jegyzék carried in the 2. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 2 reads «2C-B». Column C reads «4-bromo-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine». Five rows of the table at point 6.1 of the 3. melléklet contain the same three characters inside longer names, «2C-B-BZP», «bk-2C-B», «2C-B aminorex», «BOH-2C-B» and «1-(4-Bromo-2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)ethanamine», and none of them is this molecule. Paragraph 2.2 of the P2 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok sztereoizomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their salts where those exist. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary 2C-B sits at row 2 of the P2 jegyzék of 78/2022, and where a row sits is what decides whether the ordinary section 176 lane applies. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is not a printed weight. Section 461(4) covers a substance that sits on the K1 or K2 jegyzék of the 1. melléklet or the P1 or P2 jegyzék of the 2. melléklet and is not one of the substances section 461(1) or (2) names, and section 461(4)(a) makes the quantity small where the pure active ingredient content does not exceed seven times the average effective dose for a consumer who is not habituated, «csekély mennyiségű, ha annak tiszta hatóanyag-tartalma a hozzá nem szokott fogyasztó átlagos hatásos adagjának hétszeres mértékét nem haladja meg,». Section 461(4)(b) and (c) put the significant quantity at more than one hundred and forty times that dose and the particularly significant quantity at more than one thousand four hundred times it. The live Hungary cell printed the same rule for this row, in its own words: Seven times the average effective dose for a non-habituated user; Btk. §461(4)(a). This pass re-derived it from the text of the Act rather than carrying the figure forward. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for 2C-B in Hungary and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the placement: the row this cell relies on is inside the definition section 459(1a) carries into the Criminal Code, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. The row this cell relies on is row 2 of the P2 jegyzék. Do not read this row as a statement that 2C-B cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for 2C-B, and get the Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer, and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists.

2C-E

Legal status: Controlled. 2C-E is not itself an entry. It is not named in the K1 or K2 jegyzék, in the P1 to P4 jegyzékek, or in the numbered table at point 6.1 of the 3. melléklet, and the forms searched were the code, the chemical name, and both with the accents stripped and with every whitespace character removed. Its neighbours in the P1 jegyzék are the iodo compound at row 6 and the two thio compounds at rows 7 and 8, «2C-T-2EU» and «2C-T-7EU», and the ethyl compound is not among them. What reaches it is the structural description at point 4 of the 3. melléklet, which opens «Azok a fenetilamin (2-feniletánamin) szerkezeti részt tartalmazó vegyületek» and then sets out what the ring and the chain may carry. Point 4.4.1 allows the phenyl ring to carry, in any combination, «legfeljebb 5 szénatomos alkil-, (cikloalkil)alkil-, alkoxi-, (cikloalkil)alkoxi-, (alkoxi)alkil-, alkilszulfanil-, alkilamino-, halogénalkil-csoportot», which is what the two methoxy groups and the ethyl group are. The 3. melléklet applies by its own opening words only where the compound is not already on the other two, «ha azok az 1. és 2. melléklet szerinti jegyzékeken nem szerepelnek». Reading a molecule against a structural description is a reading and not a printed row, and it is recorded here as one. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary 2C-E is reached through a structural description in the 3. melléklet rather than through a row of its own, and where that row sits is what decides whether the ordinary section 176 lane applies. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is printed. Section 461(5)(d) sets the csekély mennyiség, the small quantity, at «4. pontja szerinti vegyületcsoport esetében az 1 gramm,», which is 1 gramm of pure active ingredient for the compound group at point 4 of the 3. melléklet. Section 461(6) puts the significant quantity at more than twenty times the upper limit of that small quantity and section 461(7) puts the particularly significant quantity at more than two hundred times it. Section 461(8) adds that for a compound occurring in salt form the pure active ingredient content means the content expressed as base, «E törvény alkalmazásában só formában előforduló vegyületek esetén tiszta hatóanyag-tartalom alatt a bázis formában megadott hatóanyag-tartalmat kell érteni.». The live Hungary cell printed the same rule for this row, in its own words: 1 g pure active ingredient for Annex 3 point 4; Btk. §461(5). This pass re-derived it from the text of the Act rather than carrying the figure forward. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for 2C-E in Hungary and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the placement: the row this cell relies on is inside the definition section 459(1a) carries into the Criminal Code, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit.

Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. The row this cell relies on is not a row at all: it is the structural description in the 3. melléklet set out above. Do not read this row as a statement that 2C-E cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for 2C-E, and get the Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer, and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. No printed row is relied on for this cell. What is relied on is a structural description in the 3. melléklet, read against the molecule. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022.

2C-I

Legal status: Controlled. 2C-I is a named entry of the P1 jegyzék carried in the 2. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 6 reads «2C-IEU». The printed official name is «2C-IEU», where the trailing EU is set raised, and paragraph 1.3.2 of the P1 jegyzék explains that mark as the one used for substances named in the Council Framework Decision it identifies, «EU jelöléssel a tiltott kábítószer-kereskedelem területén a bűncselekmények tényállási elemeire és a büntetésekre vonatkozó minimumszabályok megállapításáról szóló». Column C reads «2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenethylamineEU; 4-Iod-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylazan°°». The neighbouring row 4 is «25I-NBOMe», whose column B reads «2C-I-NBOMe», and that is a different molecule. Paragraph 1.2 of the P1 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok sztereoizomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their salts where those exist. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary 2C-I sits at row 6 of the P1 jegyzék of 78/2022, and where a row sits is what decides whether the ordinary section 176 lane applies. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is not a printed weight. Section 461(4) covers a substance that sits on the K1 or K2 jegyzék of the 1. melléklet or the P1 or P2 jegyzék of the 2. melléklet and is not one of the substances section 461(1) or (2) names, and section 461(4)(a) makes the quantity small where the pure active ingredient content does not exceed seven times the average effective dose for a consumer who is not habituated, «csekély mennyiségű, ha annak tiszta hatóanyag-tartalma a hozzá nem szokott fogyasztó átlagos hatásos adagjának hétszeres mértékét nem haladja meg,». Section 461(4)(b) and (c) put the significant quantity at more than one hundred and forty times that dose and the particularly significant quantity at more than one thousand four hundred times it. The live Hungary cell printed the same rule for this row, in its own words: Seven times the average effective dose for a non-habituated user; Btk. §461(4)(a). This pass re-derived it from the text of the Act rather than carrying the figure forward. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for 2C-I in Hungary and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the placement: the row this cell relies on is inside the definition section 459(1a) carries into the Criminal Code, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. The row this cell relies on is row 6 of the P1 jegyzék. Do not read this row as a statement that 2C-I cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for 2C-I, and get the Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer, and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. The row relied on for this cell is row 6 of the P1 jegyzék. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2022-78-20-0A on 21 September 2026 in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026. Its section 1 puts the kábítószer jegyzékek in the 1. melléklet, the pszichotróp anyag jegyzékek in the 2. melléklet, «A 2. melléklet tartalmazza a pszichotróp anyagnak minősülő anyagok jegyzékeit.», and the új pszichoaktív anyag jegyzék in the 3. melléklet. The Criminal Code was read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2012-100-00-00 on 21 September 2026 in the consolidated text as in force on 26 August 2026, and that rendering stops at section 339, so sections 459(1a) and 461 were read instead in the Act that enacted them, 2025. évi XIX. törvény sections 26 and 27, at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2025-19-00-00.0. The Criminal Code page carries a footnote recording that section 461 is the text established by section 27 of that Act, so the two readings agree. On the instrument itself: the schedules are not in 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet. That decree survives as the activities, licensing and definitions instrument, its 1. melléklet was repealed by section 11 h) of 607/2022. (XII. 28.)

The printed official name is «2C-T-7EU» with the EU mark set raised, and column C reads «2,5-dimetoxi-4-(n)-propil-tio-fenetil-aminEU; 2,5-Dimethoxy-4-(propylsulfanyl)-phenethylazan°°». Row 7 is «2C-T-2EU», the ethylthio homologue, and it is a different row. Paragraph 1.2 of the P1 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok sztereoizomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their salts where those exist. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three.

3-MMC

Legal status: Controlled. 3-MMC is a named entry of the P1 jegyzék carried in the 2. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 116 reads «3-methylmethcathinone, 3-MMCEU». The printed official name is «3-methylmethcathinone, 3-MMCEU», with the EU mark set raised, and column C reads «2-(methylamino)-1-(3-methylphenyl)propan-1-oneEU» with the same mark. The 2 isomer is a separate row at 118, «2-MMCEU», and the 4 isomer is mephedrone at row 79, so the position of the methyl group is what separates the three rows. Paragraph 1.2 of the P1 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok sztereoizomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their salts where those exist.

Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is not a printed weight. Section 461(4) covers a substance that sits on the K1 or K2 jegyzék of the 1. melléklet or the P1 or P2 jegyzék of the 2. melléklet and is not one of the substances section 461(1) or (2) names, and section 461(4)(a) makes the quantity small where the pure active ingredient content does not exceed seven times the average effective dose for a consumer who is not habituated, «csekély mennyiségű, ha annak tiszta hatóanyag-tartalma a hozzá nem szokott fogyasztó átlagos hatásos adagjának hétszeres mértékét nem haladja meg,». Section 461(4)(b) and (c) put the significant quantity at more than one hundred and forty times that dose and the particularly significant quantity at more than one thousand four hundred times it. The live Hungary cell printed the same rule for this row, in its own words: Seven times the average effective dose for a non-habituated user; Btk. §461(4)(a). This pass re-derived it from the text of the Act rather than carrying the figure forward. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for 3-MMC in Hungary and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the placement: the row this cell relies on is inside the definition section 459(1a) carries into the Criminal Code, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. The row this cell relies on is row 116 of the P1 jegyzék. Do not read this row as a statement that 3-MMC cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for 3-MMC, and get the Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer, and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. The row relied on for this cell is row 116 of the P1 jegyzék. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.)

3-MMC in Hungary, full detail →

4-AcO-DMT

Legal status: Controlled. 4-AcO-DMT is not itself an entry. It is not named in the K1 or K2 jegyzék, in the P1 to P4 jegyzékek, or in the numbered table at point 6.1 of the 3. melléklet, and the forms searched were the code, psilacetin, O-acetylpsilocin, acetoxi, and each of them with the accents stripped and with every whitespace character removed. What reaches it is the structural description at point 3 of the 3. melléklet, «Azok a triptamin (2-(1H-indol-3-il)etánamin) szerkezeti részt tartalmazó vegyületek, amelyekben», where point 3.1.1 allows the amine nitrogen to carry «legfeljebb 4 szénatomos alkil-, vagy alkenilcsoportot, illetve csoportokat tartalmaz», which the two methyl groups are, and point 3.2 allows «az indolil csoport 4-es vagy 5-ös helyzetben» to carry «hidroxi-, metoxi- vagy acetoxicsoportot tartalmazhat.», which the acetoxy group at the 4 position is. Psilocybin and psilocin are named P1 rows and are held out of the 3. melléklet by its own opening words, «ha azok az 1. és 2. melléklet szerinti jegyzékeken nem szerepelnek», and this molecule is not. Reading a molecule against a structural description is a reading and not a printed row, and it is recorded here as one. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary 4-AcO-DMT is reached through a structural description in the 3. melléklet rather than through a row of its own, and where that row sits is what decides whether the ordinary section 176 lane applies. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is printed. Section 461(5)(c) sets the csekély mennyiség, the small quantity, at «3. pontja szerinti vegyületcsoport esetében a 2 gramm,», which is 2 gramm of pure active ingredient for the compound group at point 3 of the 3. melléklet. Section 461(6) puts the significant quantity at more than twenty times the upper limit of that small quantity and section 461(7) puts the particularly significant quantity at more than two hundred times it. Section 461(8) adds that for a compound occurring in salt form the pure active ingredient content means the content expressed as base, «E törvény alkalmazásában só formában előforduló vegyületek esetén tiszta hatóanyag-tartalom alatt a bázis formában megadott hatóanyag-tartalmat kell érteni.». The live Hungary cell printed the same rule for this row, in its own words: 2 g pure active ingredient for Annex 3 point 3; Btk. §461(5). This pass re-derived it from the text of the Act rather than carrying the figure forward. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for 4-AcO-DMT in Hungary and this row does not settle it.

Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for 4-AcO-DMT, and get the Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer, and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. No printed row is relied on for this cell. What is relied on is a structural description in the 3. melléklet, read against the molecule. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022.

5-MeO-DMT (Bufo / Toad)

Legal status: Controlled. 5-MeO-DMT is not itself an entry. It is not named in the K1 or K2 jegyzék, in the P1 to P4 jegyzékek, or in the numbered table at point 6.1 of the 3. melléklet. That table does print several substituted tryptamines whose names carry the same three letters, among them «2-Me-DMT», «4-PrO-DMT», «5-Br-DMT» and «5-Cl-DMT», and not one of them is the 5 methoxy compound, so a search on the acronym alone would have taken the wrong row. What reaches it is the structural description at point 3 of the 3. melléklet, «Azok a triptamin (2-(1H-indol-3-il)etánamin) szerkezeti részt tartalmazó vegyületek, amelyekben», where point 3.1.1 allows the amine nitrogen to carry «legfeljebb 4 szénatomos alkil-, vagy alkenilcsoportot, illetve csoportokat tartalmaz», which the two methyl groups are, and point 3.2 allows «az indolil csoport 4-es vagy 5-ös helyzetben» to carry «hidroxi-, metoxi- vagy acetoxicsoportot tartalmazhat.», which the methoxy group at the 5 position is. Reading a molecule against a structural description is a reading and not a printed row, and it is recorded here as one. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary 5-MeO-DMT is reached through a structural description in the 3. melléklet rather than through a row of its own, and where that row sits is what decides whether the ordinary section 176 lane applies. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is printed. Section 461(5)(c) sets the csekély mennyiség, the small quantity, at «3. pontja szerinti vegyületcsoport esetében a 2 gramm,», which is 2 gramm of pure active ingredient for the compound group at point 3 of the 3. melléklet. Section 461(6) puts the significant quantity at more than twenty times the upper limit of that small quantity and section 461(7) puts the particularly significant quantity at more than two hundred times it. Section 461(8) adds that for a compound occurring in salt form the pure active ingredient content means the content expressed as base, «E törvény alkalmazásában só formában előforduló vegyületek esetén tiszta hatóanyag-tartalom alatt a bázis formában megadott hatóanyag-tartalmat kell érteni.». The live Hungary cell printed the same rule for this row, in its own words: 2 g pure active ingredient for Annex 3 point 3; Btk. §461(5). This pass re-derived it from the text of the Act rather than carrying the figure forward. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for 5-MeO-DMT in Hungary and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the placement: the row this cell relies on is inside the definition section 459(1a) carries into the Criminal Code, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. The row this cell relies on is not a row at all: it is the structural description in the 3. melléklet set out above. Do not read this row as a statement that 5-MeO-DMT cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for 5-MeO-DMT, and get the Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer, and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. No printed row is relied on for this cell. What is relied on is a structural description in the 3. melléklet, read against the molecule. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2022-78-20-0A on 21 September 2026 in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026. Its section 1 puts the kábítószer jegyzékek in the 1. melléklet, the pszichotróp anyag jegyzékek in the 2. melléklet, «A 2. melléklet tartalmazza a pszichotróp anyagnak minősülő anyagok jegyzékeit.», and the új pszichoaktív anyag jegyzék in the 3. melléklet. The Criminal Code was read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2012-100-00-00 on 21 September 2026 in the consolidated text as in force on 26 August 2026, and that rendering stops at section 339, so sections 459(1a) and 461 were read instead in the Act that enacted them, 2025. évi XIX. törvény sections 26 and 27, at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2025-19-00-00.0. The Criminal Code page carries a footnote recording that section 461 is the text established by section 27 of that Act, so the two readings agree. On the instrument itself: the schedules are not in 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet. That decree survives as the activities, licensing and definitions instrument, its 1. melléklet was repealed by section 11 h) of 607/2022. (XII. 28.)

6-APB

Legal status: Controlled. 6-APB is not itself an entry. It is not named in the K1 or K2 jegyzék, in the P1 to P4 jegyzékek, or in the numbered table at point 6.1 of the 3. melléklet. That table does print five benzofuran amines at rows 45 to 49, «2-APB», «2-MAPB», «2-EAPB», «5-MeO-DIBF» and «2-MABB», and not one of them is the compound asked for, so a search that accepted a benzofuran hit would have taken the wrong row. What reaches it is the structural description at point 4 of the 3. melléklet, which opens «Azok a fenetilamin (2-feniletánamin) szerkezeti részt tartalmazó vegyületek». Point 4.3.1 allows the first carbon of the ethanamine chain to carry «legfeljebb 4 szénatomos alkilcsoportot tartalmazhat», which is the propan-2-amine side chain, and point 4.4.2 allows the phenyl ring to carry an «etendiiloxi-» group, which is the fused furan ring of a benzofuran. The 3. melléklet applies by its own opening words only where the compound is not already on the other two, «ha azok az 1. és 2. melléklet szerinti jegyzékeken nem szerepelnek». Reading a molecule against a structural description is a reading and not a printed row, and it is recorded here as one. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary 6-APB is reached through a structural description in the 3. melléklet rather than through a row of its own, and where that row sits is what decides whether the ordinary section 176 lane applies. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is printed. Section 461(5)(d) sets the csekély mennyiség, the small quantity, at «4. pontja szerinti vegyületcsoport esetében az 1 gramm,», which is 1 gramm of pure active ingredient for the compound group at point 4 of the 3. melléklet. Section 461(6) puts the significant quantity at more than twenty times the upper limit of that small quantity and section 461(7) puts the particularly significant quantity at more than two hundred times it. Section 461(8) adds that for a compound occurring in salt form the pure active ingredient content means the content expressed as base, «E törvény alkalmazásában só formában előforduló vegyületek esetén tiszta hatóanyag-tartalom alatt a bázis formában megadott hatóanyag-tartalmat kell érteni.».

This pass re-derived it from the text of the Act rather than carrying the figure forward.

7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH)

Legal status: Not listed. 7-hydroxymitragynine is not a named entry of the K1 or K2 jegyzék in the 1. melléklet, of the P1, P2, P3 or P4 jegyzék in the 2. melléklet, or of the új pszichoaktív anyagok jegyzéke in the 3. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, and it is not named in any of the five structural descriptions at points 1 to 5 of that 3. melléklet either. Those five points and the numbered table at point 6 are the whole of the listing content of that melléklet: point 7 is a reading rule and not a further group, «A jegyzékbe sorolás szempontjából a 6.1. pontban foglalt táblázat A és B oszlopában található adatok irányadóak, a C és D oszlop adatai a vegyületek számítógépes kereshetőségét biztosítják.». The forms searched were 7-hidroximitraginin, 7-hydroxymitragynine, mitragin, hidroxi, in Hungarian orthography, with the accents stripped, and again over the text with every whitespace character removed so that a name broken across a line or a table cell could not read as an absence. No row and no paragraph of the decree contains the letters mitra in any form. Point 3 of the 3. melléklet was read for this row on the same terms as for the parent alkaloid, and found not to reach it, because the amine nitrogen is a ring member rather than the bearer of the groups point 3.1.1 allows, «legfeljebb 4 szénatomos alkil-, vagy alkenilcsoportot, illetve csoportokat tartalmaz». That is a reading of a structural description and not a printed row. This is silence and not an express exclusion: the decree says nothing about the substance at all. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. An absence is a statement about a list at a moment. This one is stated as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read, and no later.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. None of the drug penalties below reaches 7-hydroxymitragynine through the jegyzékek, because they attach to the substances those jegyzékek name and this substance is not among them. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. No section 461 quantity value is stated for this row, because section 461 grades a quantity of kábítószer as section 459(1a) defines it, and this substance is not one of the entries that definition reaches. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Hungary's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled drug prescription question for 7-hydroxymitragynine in Hungary under these jegyzékek, because none of the six carries it. Whether 7-hydroxymitragynine is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. The alkaloid has no Hungarian medicinal form, so there is no prescribing route to describe. Treat the supply route as unread rather than as open. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry 7-hydroxymitragynine as the Hungarian medicines and consumer regimes allow and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance off the jegyzékek is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for this row and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears in what was read here.

Adderall

Legal status: Controlled. The product name is not itself an entry, and it is not named in any of the six jegyzékek, which print active ingredients and not brands. What is named is the active ingredient at row 17 of the P2 jegyzék, «Amfetamine (amfetamin)», with «(±)-α-methylphenethylamine» in column C, and its dextro form at row 22 of the same jegyzék, «Dexamfetamine (dexamfetamin)» with «dexamphetamine» in column B. Control is reached through those two rows, which are what a mixed amphetamine salts product contains. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary Adderall is reached through row 17 of the P2 jegyzék rather than through a row of its own, and where that row sits is what decides whether the ordinary section 176 lane applies. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is printed. Section 461(1)(a)(ad) sets the csekély mennyiség, the small quantity, at «amfetamin, metamfetamin, MDPV és alfa-PVP esetén a 0,5 gramm,», which is 0.5 gramm of pure active ingredient expressed as base. Section 461(3) then puts the significant quantity at more than twenty times the upper limit of that small quantity and the particularly significant quantity at more than two hundred times it. Section 461(8) adds that for a compound occurring in salt form the pure active ingredient content means the content expressed as base, «E törvény alkalmazásában só formában előforduló vegyületek esetén tiszta hatóanyag-tartalom alatt a bázis formában megadott hatóanyag-tartalmat kell érteni.». The live Hungary cell printed the same rule for this row, in its own words: 0.5 g amphetamine base; Btk. §461(1)(a)(ad). This pass re-derived it from the text of the Act rather than carrying the figure forward. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for Adderall in Hungary and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the placement: the row this cell relies on is inside the definition section 459(1a) carries into the Criminal Code, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. The row this cell relies on is row 17 of the P2 jegyzék. Do not read this row as a statement that Adderall cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for Adderall, and get the Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer, and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. The row relied on for this cell is row 17 of the P2 jegyzék. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2022-78-20-0A on 21 September 2026 in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026.

Alcohol

Legal status: Not listed. Alcohol is not a named entry of the K1 or K2 jegyzék in the 1. melléklet, of the P1, P2, P3 or P4 jegyzék in the 2. melléklet, or of the új pszichoaktív anyagok jegyzéke in the 3. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, and it is not named in any of the five structural descriptions at points 1 to 5 of that 3. melléklet either. Those five points and the numbered table at point 6 are the whole of the listing content of that melléklet: point 7 is a reading rule and not a further group, «A jegyzékbe sorolás szempontjából a 6.1. pontban foglalt táblázat A és B oszlopában található adatok irányadóak, a C és D oszlop adatai a vegyületek számítógépes kereshetőségét biztosítják.». The forms searched were etanol, alkohol, ethanol, etil-alkohol, in Hungarian orthography, with the accents stripped, and again over the text with every whitespace character removed so that a name broken across a line or a table cell could not read as an absence. The Latin stem does return rows, but every one of them is a longer chemical name that ends in the same letters, among them «4-fluoro-α-[1-(methylamino)ethyl]-benzenemethanol» and «2-amino-1-(4-bromo-2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)ethanol», and neither is this substance. Hungary regulates it through excise, retail and public order law rather than through the jegyzékek, and that regime was not read here. This is silence and not an express exclusion: the decree says nothing about the substance at all. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. An absence is a statement about a list at a moment. This one is stated as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read, and no later.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. None of the drug penalties below reaches Alcohol through the jegyzékek, because they attach to the substances those jegyzékek name and this substance is not among them. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. No section 461 quantity value is stated for this row, because section 461 grades a quantity of kábítószer as section 459(1a) defines it, and this substance is not one of the entries that definition reaches. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own.

Treat the supply route as unread rather than as open. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

Amanita muscaria

Legal status: Not listed. Amanita muscaria is not a named entry of the K1 or K2 jegyzék in the 1. melléklet, of the P1, P2, P3 or P4 jegyzék in the 2. melléklet, or of the új pszichoaktív anyagok jegyzéke in the 3. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, and it is not named in any of the five structural descriptions at points 1 to 5 of that 3. melléklet either. Those five points and the numbered table at point 6 are the whole of the listing content of that melléklet: point 7 is a reading rule and not a further group, «A jegyzékbe sorolás szempontjából a 6.1. pontban foglalt táblázat A és B oszlopában található adatok irányadóak, a C és D oszlop adatai a vegyületek számítógépes kereshetőségét biztosítják.». The forms searched were Amanita, muscimol, muszcimol, ibotensav, galóca, in Hungarian orthography, with the accents stripped, and again over the text with every whitespace character removed so that a name broken across a line or a table cell could not read as an absence. Neither the fungus nor either of its two active compounds returns a row or a paragraph, and no fungus of any kind is an entry. The decree does carry botanical entries in their own right, «Cannabis*, cannabis resin* and extracts and tinctures of cannabis (Kannabisz*, kannabisz-gyanta*, -extraktum és -tinktúra)» at row 30, «Coca leaf (koka levél)» at row 33 and «Opium (ópium)» at row 95 of the K1 jegyzék, and «Poppy straw** (mákszalma)» at row 44 of the P2 jegyzék, so a plant can be an entry where this fungus is not. This is silence and not an express exclusion: the decree says nothing about the substance at all. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. An absence is a statement about a list at a moment. This one is stated as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read, and no later.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. None of the drug penalties below reaches Amanita muscaria through the jegyzékek, because they attach to the substances those jegyzékek name and this substance is not among them. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. No section 461 quantity value is stated for this row, because section 461 grades a quantity of kábítószer as section 459(1a) defines it, and this substance is not one of the entries that definition reaches. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Hungary's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled drug prescription question for Amanita muscaria in Hungary under these jegyzékek, because none of the six carries it. Whether Amanita muscaria is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. Psilocybin mushrooms are a different question, because psilocybin and psilocin are named P1 rows while this fungus carries neither compound. Treat the supply route as unread rather than as open. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry Amanita muscaria as the Hungarian medicines and consumer regimes allow and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance off the jegyzékek is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for this row and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears in what was read here. No row is relied on for this cell, because none was found. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2022-78-20-0A on 21 September 2026 in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026. Its section 1 puts the kábítószer jegyzékek in the 1. melléklet, the pszichotróp anyag jegyzékek in the 2. melléklet, «A 2. melléklet tartalmazza a pszichotróp anyagnak minősülő anyagok jegyzékeit.», and the új pszichoaktív anyag jegyzék in the 3. melléklet. The Criminal Code was read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2012-100-00-00 on 21 September 2026 in the consolidated text as in force on 26 August 2026, and that rendering stops at section 339, so sections 459(1a) and 461 were read instead in the Act that enacted them, 2025. évi XIX. törvény sections 26 and 27, at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2025-19-00-00.0. The Criminal Code page carries a footnote recording that section 461 is the text established by section 27 of that Act, so the two readings agree. On the instrument itself: the schedules are not in 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet. That decree survives as the activities, licensing and definitions instrument, its 1. melléklet was repealed by section 11 h) of 607/2022. (XII. 28.) Korm. rendelet, and 78/2022 has carried the jegyzékek since 1 January 2023.

Amphetamine

Legal status: Controlled. Amphetamine is a named entry of the P2 jegyzék carried in the 2. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 17 reads «Amfetamine (amfetamin)». Column B reads «amphetamine» and column C reads «(±)-α-methylphenethylamine», which is the racemate. Dexamfetamine is a separate row at 22, «Dexamfetamine (dexamfetamin)», and levamfetamine at 31. Etilamfetamine at row 26 of the P4 jegyzék is a different molecule and sits outside the Criminal Code reference. Paragraph 2.2 of the P2 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok sztereoizomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their salts where those exist. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary Amphetamine sits at row 17 of the P2 jegyzék of 78/2022, and where a row sits is what decides whether the ordinary section 176 lane applies. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is printed. Section 461(1)(a)(ad) sets the csekély mennyiség, the small quantity, at «amfetamin, metamfetamin, MDPV és alfa-PVP esetén a 0,5 gramm,», which is 0.5 gramm of pure active ingredient expressed as base. Section 461(3) then puts the significant quantity at more than twenty times the upper limit of that small quantity and the particularly significant quantity at more than two hundred times it. Section 461(8) adds that for a compound occurring in salt form the pure active ingredient content means the content expressed as base, «E törvény alkalmazásában só formában előforduló vegyületek esetén tiszta hatóanyag-tartalom alatt a bázis formában megadott hatóanyag-tartalmat kell érteni.». The live Hungary cell printed the same rule for this row, in its own words: 0.5 g amphetamine base; Btk. §461(1)(a)(ad). This pass re-derived it from the text of the Act rather than carrying the figure forward. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for Amphetamine in Hungary and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the placement: the row this cell relies on is inside the definition section 459(1a) carries into the Criminal Code, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. The row this cell relies on is row 17 of the P2 jegyzék. Do not read this row as a statement that Amphetamine cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for Amphetamine, and get the Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer, and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. The row relied on for this cell is row 17 of the P2 jegyzék. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2022-78-20-0A on 21 September 2026 in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026.

Amyl Nitrite

Legal status: Not listed. Amyl nitrite is not a named entry of the K1 or K2 jegyzék in the 1. melléklet, of the P1, P2, P3 or P4 jegyzék in the 2. melléklet, or of the új pszichoaktív anyagok jegyzéke in the 3. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, and it is not named in any of the five structural descriptions at points 1 to 5 of that 3. melléklet either. Those five points and the numbered table at point 6 are the whole of the listing content of that melléklet: point 7 is a reading rule and not a further group, «A jegyzékbe sorolás szempontjából a 6.1. pontban foglalt táblázat A és B oszlopában található adatok irányadóak, a C és D oszlop adatai a vegyületek számítógépes kereshetőségét biztosítják.». The forms searched were amil-nitrit, amyl nitrite, pentyl nitrite, nitrit, in Hungarian orthography, with the accents stripped, and again over the text with every whitespace character removed so that a name broken across a line or a table cell could not read as an absence. The stem nitrit returns nothing anywhere in the decree, so no alkyl nitrite of any chain length is an entry, and nor is the nitrite functional group named in any of the five structural descriptions of the 3. melléklet, which describe indole and indazole ketones, cathinones, tryptamines, phenethylamines and fentanyl analogues. Hungary regulates such preparations, where it regulates them at all, through product and consumer law rather than through the jegyzékek, and that regime was not read here. This is silence and not an express exclusion: the decree says nothing about the substance at all. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.)

The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. An absence is a statement about a list at a moment. This one is stated as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read, and no later.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. None of the drug penalties below reaches Amyl nitrite through the jegyzékek, because they attach to the substances those jegyzékek name and this substance is not among them. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. No section 461 quantity value is stated for this row, because section 461 grades a quantity of kábítószer as section 459(1a) defines it, and this substance is not one of the entries that definition reaches. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Hungary's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled drug prescription question for Amyl nitrite in Hungary under these jegyzékek, because none of the six carries it. Whether Amyl nitrite is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. It is sold in Hungary as a household product rather than as a medicine, so there is no prescribing route to describe. Treat the supply route as unread rather than as open. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry Amyl nitrite as the Hungarian medicines and consumer regimes allow and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance off the jegyzékek is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for this row and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears in what was read here. No row is relied on for this cell, because none was found. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.)

Buprenorphine

Legal status: Controlled. Buprenorphine is a named entry of the P2 jegyzék carried in the 2. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 19 reads «Buprenorphine** (buprenorfin)». Column C reads «21-cyclopropyl-7-α-[(S)-1-hydroxy-1,2,2-trimethylpropyl]-6,14-endo-ethano-6,7,8,14-tetrahydrooripavine». Paragraph 2.3.2 explains the double asterisk in the printed name as «** jelöléssel azon anyagok, amelyek nemzeti ellenőrzése a hazai és nemzetközi rendészeti hatósági tapasztalatok alapján szigorúbb, mint a Pszichotróp Egyezmény előírása,». Paragraph 2.2 of the P2 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok sztereoizomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their salts where those exist. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary Buprenorphine sits at row 19 of the P2 jegyzék of 78/2022, and where a row sits is what decides whether the ordinary section 176 lane applies. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is not a printed weight. Section 461(4) covers a substance that sits on the K1 or K2 jegyzék of the 1. melléklet or the P1 or P2 jegyzék of the 2. melléklet and is not one of the substances section 461(1) or (2) names, and section 461(4)(a) makes the quantity small where the pure active ingredient content does not exceed seven times the average effective dose for a consumer who is not habituated, «csekély mennyiségű, ha annak tiszta hatóanyag-tartalma a hozzá nem szokott fogyasztó átlagos hatásos adagjának hétszeres mértékét nem haladja meg,». Section 461(4)(b) and (c) put the significant quantity at more than one hundred and forty times that dose and the particularly significant quantity at more than one thousand four hundred times it. The live Hungary cell printed the same rule for this row, in its own words: Seven times the average effective dose for a non-habituated user; Btk. §461(4)(a). This pass re-derived it from the text of the Act rather than carrying the figure forward. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for Buprenorphine in Hungary and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the placement: the row this cell relies on is inside the definition section 459(1a) carries into the Criminal Code, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. The row this cell relies on is row 19 of the P2 jegyzék. Do not read this row as a statement that Buprenorphine cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for Buprenorphine, and get the Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer, and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. The row relied on for this cell is row 19 of the P2 jegyzék. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2022-78-20-0A on 21 September 2026 in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026.

Caffeine

Legal status: Not listed. Caffeine is not a named entry of the K1 or K2 jegyzék in the 1. melléklet, of the P1, P2, P3 or P4 jegyzék in the 2. melléklet, or of the új pszichoaktív anyagok jegyzéke in the 3. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, and it is not named in any of the five structural descriptions at points 1 to 5 of that 3. melléklet either. Those five points and the numbered table at point 6 are the whole of the listing content of that melléklet: point 7 is a reading rule and not a further group, «A jegyzékbe sorolás szempontjából a 6.1. pontban foglalt táblázat A és B oszlopában található adatok irányadóak, a C és D oszlop adatai a vegyületek számítógépes kereshetőségét biztosítják.». The forms searched were koffein, caffeine, 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine, in Hungarian orthography, with the accents stripped, and again over the text with every whitespace character removed so that a name broken across a line or a table cell could not read as an absence. None of those forms returns a row or a paragraph, and the stem xantin returns nothing anywhere in the decree, so no xanthine of any kind is an entry. Hungary regulates this substance through food and food supplement law rather than through the jegyzékek, and that regime was not read here. This is silence and not an express exclusion: the decree says nothing about the substance at all. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. An absence is a statement about a list at a moment. This one is stated as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read, and no later.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. None of the drug penalties below reaches Caffeine through the jegyzékek, because they attach to the substances those jegyzékek name and this substance is not among them. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. No section 461 quantity value is stated for this row, because section 461 grades a quantity of kábítószer as section 459(1a) defines it, and this substance is not one of the entries that definition reaches. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Hungary's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure.

Cannabinol is not a named entry of the K1 or K2 jegyzék in the 1. melléklet, of the P1, P2, P3 or P4 jegyzék in the 2. melléklet, or of the új pszichoaktív anyagok jegyzéke in the 3. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, and it is not named in any of the five structural descriptions at points 1 to 5 of that 3. melléklet either. Those five points and the numbered table at point 6 are the whole of the listing content of that melléklet: point 7 is a reading rule and not a further group, «A jegyzékbe sorolás szempontjából a 6.1. pontban foglalt táblázat A és B oszlopában található adatok irányadóak, a C és D oszlop adatai a vegyületek számítógépes kereshetőségét biztosítják.». The forms searched were kannabinol, cannabinol, CBN, in Hungarian orthography, with the accents stripped, and again over the text with every whitespace character removed so that a name broken across a line or a table cell could not read as an absence. The stem returns six places and every one of them is a longer name that contains it: «Tetrahydrocannabinol, the following isomers and their stereochemical variants (a következő tetrahidro-kannabinol izomerek és szterokémiai variánsaik) [THC]» at row 112 of the P1 jegyzék, «Dronabinol2 (delta-9-tetrahidrokannabinol [delta-9-THC] és sztereokémiai varánsai)» at row 23 of the P2 jegyzék, and four hexahydrocannabinol rows of the 3. melléklet. None of them is the fully aromatic parent compound asked for. The six isomers printed at P1 row 112 are delta-6a(10a), delta-6a(7), delta-7, delta-8, delta-10 and delta-9(11), and this molecule is not among them. This is silence and not an express exclusion: the decree says nothing about the substance at all. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. An absence is a statement about a list at a moment. This one is stated as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read, and no later.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. None of the drug penalties below reaches Cannabinol through the jegyzékek, because they attach to the substances those jegyzékek name and this substance is not among them. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. No section 461 quantity value is stated for this row, because section 461 grades a quantity of kábítószer as section 459(1a) defines it, and this substance is not one of the entries that definition reaches. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Hungary's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled drug prescription question for Cannabinol in Hungary under these jegyzékek, because none of the six carries it. Whether Cannabinol is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. It appears in hemp derived products rather than in a Hungarian medicine, and the plant material it is made from is a named K1 entry even where this molecule is not. Treat the supply route as unread rather than as open. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry Cannabinol as the Hungarian medicines and consumer regimes allow and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance off the jegyzékek is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for this row and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears in what was read here. No row is relied on for this cell, because none was found. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2022-78-20-0A on 21 September 2026 in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026. Its section 1 puts the kábítószer jegyzékek in the 1. melléklet, the pszichotróp anyag jegyzékek in the 2. melléklet, «A 2. melléklet tartalmazza a pszichotróp anyagnak minősülő anyagok jegyzékeit.», and the új pszichoaktív anyag jegyzék in the 3. melléklet. The Criminal Code was read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2012-100-00-00 on 21 September 2026 in the consolidated text as in force on 26 August 2026, and that rendering stops at section 339, so sections 459(1a) and 461 were read instead in the Act that enacted them, 2025. évi XIX. törvény sections 26 and 27, at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2025-19-00-00.0. The Criminal Code page carries a footnote recording that section 461 is the text established by section 27 of that Act, so the two readings agree. On the instrument itself: the schedules are not in 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet. That decree survives as the activities, licensing and definitions instrument, its 1. melléklet was repealed by section 11 h) of 607/2022. (XII. 28.) Korm. rendelet, and 78/2022 has carried the jegyzékek since 1 January 2023.

Cannabis / THC

Legal status: Controlled. Cannabis is a named entry of the K1 jegyzék carried in the 1. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 30 reads «Cannabis*, cannabis resin* and extracts and tinctures of cannabis (Kannabisz*, kannabisz-gyanta*, -extraktum és -tinktúra)». The row names the plant, the resin and the extracts and tinctures together, and columns C to E are blank because the entry is botanical rather than a single molecule. Paragraph 1.4 explains the asterisks: «A *-gal jelzett anyagok fokozott nemzetközi ellenőrzés alá esnek, és a Kábítószer Egyezmény IV. listáján is szerepelnek.» Paragraph 1.2 of the K1 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok izomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their esters, ethers and salts where those exist. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary Cannabis sits at row 30 of the K1 jegyzék of 78/2022, and where a row sits is what decides whether the ordinary section 176 lane applies. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is printed twice over. Section 461(2) makes the quantity small where the number of plants is at most five, «E törvény alkalmazásában a kábítószer csekély mennyiségű, ha kannabisz növény esetén a növényegyedek száma legfeljebb öt.», and section 461(1)(c) makes it small for plant material where the total THC content, the free and the acid forms counted together, does not exceed 6 gramm, «tetrahidro-kannabinol (THC) esetén a tiszta és savformában együttesen jelen levő THC-tartalom (totál-THC) a 6 gramm,». Section 461(3) then puts the significant quantity at more than twenty times the upper limit of that small quantity and the particularly significant quantity at more than two hundred times it. The live Hungary cell printed the same rule for this row, in its own words: At most 5 cannabis plants, or 6 g total THC for material; Btk. §461(1)(c), (2). This pass re-derived it from the text of the Act rather than carrying the figure forward. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for Cannabis in Hungary and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the placement: the row this cell relies on is inside the definition section 459(1a) carries into the Criminal Code, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. The row this cell relies on is row 30 of the K1 jegyzék. Do not read this row as a statement that Cannabis cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for Cannabis, and get the Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer, and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. The row relied on for this cell is row 30 of the K1 jegyzék. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2022-78-20-0A on 21 September 2026 in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026.

Cathinone

Legal status: Controlled. Cathinone is a named entry of the P1 jegyzék carried in the 2. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 41 reads «Cathinone (katinon)». Column C reads «(-)-(S)-2-amino-propiophenone». Cathine, the other khat alkaloid, is a separate entry at row 4 of the P3 jegyzék, «Cathine (katin)» with «(+)-norpseudoephedrine» in column B, and the P3 jegyzék is outside the Criminal Code reference. Methcathinone at row 81 is a third molecule. Paragraph 1.2 of the P1 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok sztereoizomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their salts where those exist. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.)

The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary Cathinone sits at row 41 of the P1 jegyzék of 78/2022, and where a row sits is what decides whether the ordinary section 176 lane applies. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is not a printed weight. Section 461(4) covers a substance that sits on the K1 or K2 jegyzék of the 1. melléklet or the P1 or P2 jegyzék of the 2. melléklet and is not one of the substances section 461(1) or (2) names, and section 461(4)(a) makes the quantity small where the pure active ingredient content does not exceed seven times the average effective dose for a consumer who is not habituated, «csekély mennyiségű, ha annak tiszta hatóanyag-tartalma a hozzá nem szokott fogyasztó átlagos hatásos adagjának hétszeres mértékét nem haladja meg,». Section 461(4)(b) and (c) put the significant quantity at more than one hundred and forty times that dose and the particularly significant quantity at more than one thousand four hundred times it. The live Hungary cell printed the same rule for this row, in its own words: Seven times the average effective dose for a non-habituated user; Btk. §461(4)(a). This pass re-derived it from the text of the Act rather than carrying the figure forward. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for Cathinone in Hungary and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the placement: the row this cell relies on is inside the definition section 459(1a) carries into the Criminal Code, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. The row this cell relies on is row 41 of the P1 jegyzék. Do not read this row as a statement that Cathinone cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for Cathinone, and get the Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer, and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. The row relied on for this cell is row 41 of the P1 jegyzék. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.)

CBD

Legal status: Not listed. CBD is not a named entry of the K1 or K2 jegyzék in the 1. melléklet, of the P1, P2, P3 or P4 jegyzék in the 2. melléklet, or of the új pszichoaktív anyagok jegyzéke in the 3. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, and it is not named in any of the five structural descriptions at points 1 to 5 of that 3. melléklet either. Those five points and the numbered table at point 6 are the whole of the listing content of that melléklet: point 7 is a reading rule and not a further group, «A jegyzékbe sorolás szempontjából a 6.1. pontban foglalt táblázat A és B oszlopában található adatok irányadóak, a C és D oszlop adatai a vegyületek számítógépes kereshetőségét biztosítják.». The forms searched were kannabidiol, cannabidiol, CBD, in Hungarian orthography, with the accents stripped, and again over the text with every whitespace character removed so that a name broken across a line or a table cell could not read as an absence. The Hungarian form kannabidiol returns nothing. The Latin string cannabidiol returns one row of the 3. melléklet, «tetrahydrocannabidiol (H4-CBD)» at row 336, whose column B reads «2-(2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexyl)- 5-pentylbenzene-1,3-diol». That is the tetrahydrogenated compound and a different molecule. Cannabis, its resin and its extracts and tinctures are a named K1 entry at row 30, so the plant material a preparation is made from can be reached where this molecule is not. This is silence and not an express exclusion: the decree says nothing about the substance at all. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. An absence is a statement about a list at a moment. This one is stated as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read, and no later.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. None of the drug penalties below reaches CBD through the jegyzékek, because they attach to the substances those jegyzékek name and this substance is not among them. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. No section 461 quantity value is stated for this row, because section 461 grades a quantity of kábítószer as section 459(1a) defines it, and this substance is not one of the entries that definition reaches. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Hungary's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled drug prescription question for CBD in Hungary under these jegyzékek, because none of the six carries it. Whether CBD is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. It appears in Hungary as a food supplement and, in one licensed epilepsy preparation, as a medicine, and the two routes answer to different regimes. Treat the supply route as unread rather than as open. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry CBD as the Hungarian medicines and consumer regimes allow and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance off the jegyzékek is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for this row and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears in what was read here. No row is relied on for this cell, because none was found. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.)

Clonazepam

Legal status: Controlled. Clonazepam is a named entry of the P4 jegyzék carried in the 2. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 14 reads «Clonazepam (klonazepám)». Column C reads «5-(o-chlorophenyl)-1,3-dihydro-7-nitro-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one». Meclonazepam and methyl clonazepam are rows 64 and 80 of the table at point 6.1 of the 3. melléklet and are different molecules that sit inside the Criminal Code reference. Paragraph 4.2 of the P4 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok sztereoizomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their salts where those exist. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.)

The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary Clonazepam sits at row 14 of the P4 jegyzék of 78/2022, which section 459(1a) does not carry into the Criminal Code. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.».

Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. No section 461 small quantity value follows from this row. Section 459(1a) carries the K1 and K2 jegyzékek, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek and the 3. melléklet into the Criminal Code and does not carry the P3 or the P4 jegyzék, so the graduated quantity scheme in section 461 has nothing to attach to here. The live Hungary cell recorded the same result for a P3 or P4 entry, and this pass re-derived it from the text of section 459(1a). No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Hungary's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for Clonazepam in Hungary and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the placement: the P4 jegyzék is a controlled schedule of the rendelet, so supply is licensed, and it is outside the definition section 459(1a) carries into the Criminal Code. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. The row this cell relies on is row 14 of the P4 jegyzék. Treat the route as unread rather than as open, and do not read a P4 placement as permission to carry the substance across a border.

Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for Clonazepam, and get the Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border.

Cocaine

Legal status: Controlled. Cocaine is a named entry of the K1 jegyzék carried in the 1. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 34 reads «Cocaine (kokain)». Column C reads «methyl ester of benzoylecgonine». The coca leaf is a separate row at 33, «Coca leaf (koka levél)», and ecgonine at 53. The K3 jegyzék of the same melléklet, which is the list of excepted preparations, carries «Azok az összetett cocaine (kokain) gyógyszerkészítmények, amelyek legfeljebb 0,1% kokaint tartalmaznak kokain bázisra számítva» on the terms the decree sets there. Paragraph 1.2 of the K1 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok izomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their esters, ethers and salts where those exist. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.)

Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary Cocaine sits at row 34 of the K1 jegyzék of 78/2022, and where a row sits is what decides whether the ordinary section 176 lane applies. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is printed. Section 461(1)(a)(aj) sets the csekély mennyiség, the small quantity, at «kokain esetén a 2 gramm,», which is 2 gramm of pure active ingredient expressed as base. Section 461(3) then puts the significant quantity at more than twenty times the upper limit of that small quantity and the particularly significant quantity at more than two hundred times it. Section 461(8) adds that for a compound occurring in salt form the pure active ingredient content means the content expressed as base, «E törvény alkalmazásában só formában előforduló vegyületek esetén tiszta hatóanyag-tartalom alatt a bázis formában megadott hatóanyag-tartalmat kell érteni.». The live Hungary cell printed the same rule for this row, in its own words: 2 g cocaine base; Btk. §461(1)(a)(aj). This pass re-derived it from the text of the Act rather than carrying the figure forward. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for Cocaine in Hungary and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the placement: the row this cell relies on is inside the definition section 459(1a) carries into the Criminal Code, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. The K3 jegyzék of the 1. melléklet is the list of excepted preparations, and it is the part of the rendelet that carries medicinal forms of this family out of the ordinary regime on stated terms, so a medicine and a bulk substance are not the same question here. The row this cell relies on is row 34 of the K1 jegyzék. Do not read this row as a statement that Cocaine cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for Cocaine, and get the Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer, and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. The row relied on for this cell is row 34 of the K1 jegyzék. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.)

Codeine

Legal status: Controlled. Codeine is a named entry of the K2 jegyzék carried in the 1. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 3 reads «Codeine (kodein)». Column C reads «3-methylmorphine». Paragraph 2.3 of the K2 jegyzék records that «Az itt felsorolt hatóanyagok készítményei szerepelhetnek a K3 jegyzéken.», and the K3 jegyzék names this substance expressly at point 3.2.2, «codeine (kodein),» among the active ingredients whose single and multiple component medicines are excepted, its opening words being «Az alábbiakban meghatározott kábítószertartalmú készítmények kivételt képeznek jelen rendeletben meghatározott rendelkezések szerint.» Norcodeine, acetyldihydrocodeine and dihydrocodeine are separate K2 rows and separate K3 points. Paragraph 2.2 of the K2 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok izomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their salts where those exist. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary Codeine sits at row 3 of the K2 jegyzék of 78/2022, and where a row sits is what decides whether the ordinary section 176 lane applies. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is printed. Section 461(1)(a)(ah) sets the csekély mennyiség, the small quantity, at «ketamin, kodein, MDA, MDMA, N-etil-MDA (MDE), MBDB, 1-PEA, N-metil-1-PEA, mCPP, metadon, 4-fluoramfetamin és petidin esetén az 1 gramm,», which is 1 gramm of pure active ingredient expressed as base. Section 461(3) then puts the significant quantity at more than twenty times the upper limit of that small quantity and the particularly significant quantity at more than two hundred times it. Section 461(8) adds that for a compound occurring in salt form the pure active ingredient content means the content expressed as base, «E törvény alkalmazásában só formában előforduló vegyületek esetén tiszta hatóanyag-tartalom alatt a bázis formában megadott hatóanyag-tartalmat kell érteni.».

Crack Cocaine

Legal status: Controlled. The street form is not itself an entry, and it is not named in any of the six jegyzékek. What is named is cocaine at row 34 of the K1 jegyzék, «Cocaine (kokain)», with «methyl ester of benzoylecgonine» in column C, and paragraph 1.2 of that jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok izomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek» and to the esters, ethers and salts where they exist. Control is reached through the cocaine the material contains, and the figure below is the figure for cocaine expressed as base.

Delta-8-THC

Legal status: Controlled. Delta-8-THC is a named entry of the P1 jegyzék carried in the 2. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 112 reads «Tetrahydrocannabinol, the following isomers and their stereochemical variants (a következő tetrahidro-kannabinol izomerek és szterokémiai variánsaik) [THC]». Row 112 is printed across six lines, one for each isomer, and the fourth of them names delta-8-THC with the chemical name «6a,7,10,10a-tetrahydro-6,6,9-trimethyl-3-pentyl-6H-dibenzo-[b,d]pyran-1-ol» and the formula «C21H30O2». The other five lines are delta-6a(10a), delta-6a(7), delta-7, delta-10 and delta-9(11). Delta-9-THC is not in this row: it is dronabinol at row 23 of the P2 jegyzék, «Dronabinol2 (delta-9-tetrahidrokannabinol [delta-9-THC] és sztereokémiai varánsai)», and paragraph 2.4 of that jegyzék adds that «a dronabinol megjelölés csak a (-)-trans-delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol sztereoizomerre vonatkozik.» Paragraph 1.2 of the P1 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok sztereoizomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their salts where those exist. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary Delta-8-THC sits at row 112 of the P1 jegyzék of 78/2022, and where a row sits is what decides whether the ordinary section 176 lane applies. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is printed. Section 461(1)(c) sets the csekély mennyiség, the small quantity, at «tetrahidro-kannabinol (THC) esetén a tiszta és savformában együttesen jelen levő THC-tartalom (totál-THC) a 6 gramm,», which is 6 gramm of total THC, the free and the acid forms counted together. Section 461(3) then puts the significant quantity at more than twenty times the upper limit of that small quantity and the particularly significant quantity at more than two hundred times it. Section 461(8) adds that for a compound occurring in salt form the pure active ingredient content means the content expressed as base, «E törvény alkalmazásában só formában előforduló vegyületek esetén tiszta hatóanyag-tartalom alatt a bázis formában megadott hatóanyag-tartalmat kell érteni.». The live Hungary cell printed the same rule for this row, in its own words: 6 g total THC, including free and acid forms together; Btk. §461(1)(c). This pass re-derived it from the text of the Act rather than carrying the figure forward. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for Delta-8-THC in Hungary and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the placement: the row this cell relies on is inside the definition section 459(1a) carries into the Criminal Code, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. The row this cell relies on is row 112 of the P1 jegyzék. Do not read this row as a statement that Delta-8-THC cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for Delta-8-THC, and get the Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer, and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. The row relied on for this cell is row 112 of the P1 jegyzék. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2022-78-20-0A on 21 September 2026 in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026.

The Criminal Code was read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2012-100-00-00 on 21 September 2026 in the consolidated text as in force on 26 August 2026, and that rendering stops at section 339, so sections 459(1a) and 461 were read instead in the Act that enacted them, 2025. évi XIX. törvény sections 26 and 27, at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2025-19-00-00.0. The Criminal Code page carries a footnote recording that section 461 is the text established by section 27 of that Act, so the two readings agree.

Diazepam

Legal status: Controlled. Diazepam is a named entry of the P4 jegyzék carried in the 2. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 20 reads «Diazepam (diazepám)». Column C reads «7-chloro-1,3-dihydro-1-methyl-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one». Diclazepam at row 21 prints «2-chlorodiazepam, Ro5-3448» in column B and is a different molecule, and fludiazepam at row 32 is a third. Paragraph 4.2 of the P4 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok sztereoizomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their salts where those exist. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary Diazepam sits at row 20 of the P4 jegyzék of 78/2022, which section 459(1a) does not carry into the Criminal Code. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.».

Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. No section 461 small quantity value follows from this row. Section 459(1a) carries the K1 and K2 jegyzékek, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek and the 3. melléklet into the Criminal Code and does not carry the P3 or the P4 jegyzék, so the graduated quantity scheme in section 461 has nothing to attach to here. The live Hungary cell recorded the same result for a P3 or P4 entry, and this pass re-derived it from the text of section 459(1a). No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Hungary's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for Diazepam in Hungary and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the placement: the P4 jegyzék is a controlled schedule of the rendelet, so supply is licensed, and it is outside the definition section 459(1a) carries into the Criminal Code. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit.

DMT

Legal status: Controlled. DMT is a named entry of the P1 jegyzék carried in the 2. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 53 reads «DMT». Column A prints the acronym itself and column C gives «3-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]indole», so the identification does not rest on the acronym alone. Six rows of the table at point 6.1 of the 3. melléklet carry the same three letters inside longer names, among them «2-Me-DMT» and «5-Br-DMT», and none of them is this molecule. Paragraph 1.2 of the P1 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok sztereoizomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their salts where those exist. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three.

Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is not a printed weight. Section 461(4) covers a substance that sits on the K1 or K2 jegyzék of the 1. melléklet or the P1 or P2 jegyzék of the 2. melléklet and is not one of the substances section 461(1) or (2) names, and section 461(4)(a) makes the quantity small where the pure active ingredient content does not exceed seven times the average effective dose for a consumer who is not habituated, «csekély mennyiségű, ha annak tiszta hatóanyag-tartalma a hozzá nem szokott fogyasztó átlagos hatásos adagjának hétszeres mértékét nem haladja meg,». Section 461(4)(b) and (c) put the significant quantity at more than one hundred and forty times that dose and the particularly significant quantity at more than one thousand four hundred times it. The live Hungary cell printed the same rule for this row, in its own words: Seven times the average effective dose for a non-habituated user; Btk. §461(4)(a). This pass re-derived it from the text of the Act rather than carrying the figure forward. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for DMT in Hungary and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the placement: the row this cell relies on is inside the definition section 459(1a) carries into the Criminal Code, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. The row this cell relies on is row 53 of the P1 jegyzék. Do not read this row as a statement that DMT cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for DMT, and get the Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer, and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. The row relied on for this cell is row 53 of the P1 jegyzék. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.)

DOM

Legal status: Controlled. DOM is a named entry of the P1 jegyzék carried in the 2. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 109 reads «STP». The official name in column A is the older code «STP» and the acronym asked for is in column B of the same row, «DOM», with «2,5-dimethoxy-α,4-dimethylphenethylamine» in column C. Row 37 is «Brolamfetamine (brolamfetamin)» whose column B reads «DOB», and that is the bromo analogue and a different row. Paragraph 1.2 of the P1 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok sztereoizomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their salts where those exist. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary DOM sits at row 109 of the P1 jegyzék of 78/2022, and where a row sits is what decides whether the ordinary section 176 lane applies. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is not a printed weight. Section 461(4) covers a substance that sits on the K1 or K2 jegyzék of the 1. melléklet or the P1 or P2 jegyzék of the 2. melléklet and is not one of the substances section 461(1) or (2) names, and section 461(4)(a) makes the quantity small where the pure active ingredient content does not exceed seven times the average effective dose for a consumer who is not habituated, «csekély mennyiségű, ha annak tiszta hatóanyag-tartalma a hozzá nem szokott fogyasztó átlagos hatásos adagjának hétszeres mértékét nem haladja meg,». Section 461(4)(b) and (c) put the significant quantity at more than one hundred and forty times that dose and the particularly significant quantity at more than one thousand four hundred times it. The live Hungary cell printed the same rule for this row, in its own words: Seven times the average effective dose for a non-habituated user; Btk. §461(4)(a). This pass re-derived it from the text of the Act rather than carrying the figure forward. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for DOM in Hungary and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the placement: the row this cell relies on is inside the definition section 459(1a) carries into the Criminal Code, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it.

Do not read this row as a statement that DOM cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

That is the carriage answer, and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists.

DXM

Legal status: Not listed. DXM is not a named entry of the K1 or K2 jegyzék in the 1. melléklet, of the P1, P2, P3 or P4 jegyzék in the 2. melléklet, or of the új pszichoaktív anyagok jegyzéke in the 3. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, and it is not named in any of the five structural descriptions at points 1 to 5 of that 3. melléklet either. Those five points and the numbered table at point 6 are the whole of the listing content of that melléklet: point 7 is a reading rule and not a further group, «A jegyzékbe sorolás szempontjából a 6.1. pontban foglalt táblázat A és B oszlopában található adatok irányadóak, a C és D oszlop adatai a vegyületek számítógépes kereshetőségét biztosítják.». The forms searched were dextrometorfán, dextromethorphan, DXM, in Hungarian orthography, with the accents stripped, and again over the text with every whitespace character removed so that a name broken across a line or a table cell could not read as an absence. The name does appear in the decree, and it appears in order to exclude. Paragraph 1.3 of the K1 jegyzék reads «Az 1-gyel jelölt anyagok esetében dextromethorphan (dextrometorfán) [(+)-3-methoxy-N-methylmorphinan] és a dextrorphan (dextrorfán) [(+)-3-hydroxy-N-methylmorphinan] izomerek nem tartoznak nemzetközi ellenőrzés alá.» The only row of that jegyzék carrying the marker is «Levomethorphan1 (levometorfán)» at row 69, whose column C reads «(-)-3-methoxy-N-methylmorphinan». Racemethorphan at row 116 and racemorphan at row 118 carry no such marker, so the exclusion note is tied to that one row. So the decree names this molecule expressly, in order to place its isomers outside international control, rather than passing over it in silence. What it does not do is give it an entry of its own. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. An absence is a statement about a list at a moment. This one is stated as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read, and no later.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. None of the drug penalties below reaches DXM through the jegyzékek, because they attach to the substances those jegyzékek name and this substance is not among them. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. No section 461 quantity value is stated for this row, because section 461 grades a quantity of kábítószer as section 459(1a) defines it, and this substance is not one of the entries that definition reaches. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Hungary's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled drug prescription question for DXM in Hungary under these jegyzékek, because none of the six carries it. Whether DXM is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. It is an over the counter and prescription antitussive in Hungary, and the decree names it only to place its isomers outside international control. Treat the supply route as unread rather than as open. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry DXM as the Hungarian medicines and consumer regimes allow and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance off the jegyzékek is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for this row and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears in what was read here. No row is relied on for this cell, because none was found. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2022-78-20-0A on 21 September 2026 in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026. Its section 1 puts the kábítószer jegyzékek in the 1. melléklet, the pszichotróp anyag jegyzékek in the 2. melléklet, «A 2. melléklet tartalmazza a pszichotróp anyagnak minősülő anyagok jegyzékeit.», and the új pszichoaktív anyag jegyzék in the 3. melléklet. The Criminal Code was read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2012-100-00-00 on 21 September 2026 in the consolidated text as in force on 26 August 2026, and that rendering stops at section 339, so sections 459(1a) and 461 were read instead in the Act that enacted them, 2025. évi XIX. törvény sections 26 and 27, at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2025-19-00-00.0. The Criminal Code page carries a footnote recording that section 461 is the text established by section 27 of that Act, so the two readings agree. On the instrument itself: the schedules are not in 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet. That decree survives as the activities, licensing and definitions instrument, its 1. melléklet was repealed by section 11 h) of 607/2022. (XII. 28.) Korm. rendelet, and 78/2022 has carried the jegyzékek since 1 January 2023. The dossier this lane was given recorded a search of section 1 and all three mellékletek with no entry found.

Ephedrine

Legal status: Not listed. Ephedrine is not a named entry of the K1 or K2 jegyzék in the 1. melléklet, of the P1, P2, P3 or P4 jegyzék in the 2. melléklet, or of the új pszichoaktív anyagok jegyzéke in the 3. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, and it is not named in any of the five structural descriptions at points 1 to 5 of that 3. melléklet either. Those five points and the numbered table at point 6 are the whole of the listing content of that melléklet: point 7 is a reading rule and not a further group, «A jegyzékbe sorolás szempontjából a 6.1. pontban foglalt táblázat A és B oszlopában található adatok irányadóak, a C és D oszlop adatai a vegyületek számítógépes kereshetőségét biztosítják.». The forms searched were efedrin, ephedrine, pszeudoefedrin, pseudoephedrine, in Hungarian orthography, with the accents stripped, and again over the text with every whitespace character removed so that a name broken across a line or a table cell could not read as an absence. The Hungarian form efedrin returns nothing at all. The Latin string ephedrin returns four rows and none of them is this molecule: «Cathine (katin)» at row 4 of the P3 jegyzék carries «(+)-norpseudoephedrine» in column B, and «4-Fluoroephedrine», «alpha-methylephedrine» and «N-methylephedrine» are three rows of the 3. melléklet. Whether Hungary controls this substance as a drug precursor under some other instrument was not read here, and it is a separate question from the jegyzékek. This is silence and not an express exclusion: the decree says nothing about the substance at all. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. An absence is a statement about a list at a moment. This one is stated as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read, and no later.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. None of the drug penalties below reaches Ephedrine through the jegyzékek, because they attach to the substances those jegyzékek name and this substance is not among them. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. No section 461 quantity value is stated for this row, because section 461 grades a quantity of kábítószer as section 459(1a) defines it, and this substance is not one of the entries that definition reaches. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Hungary's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled drug prescription question for Ephedrine in Hungary under these jegyzékek, because none of the six carries it. Whether Ephedrine is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. It appears in Hungarian pharmacy as a decongestant and as a parenteral vasopressor, and it is also a scheduled drug precursor under the European Union precursor regime, which is a different instrument from the one this row reads. Treat the supply route as unread rather than as open. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry Ephedrine as the Hungarian medicines and consumer regimes allow and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance off the jegyzékek is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for this row and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears in what was read here. No row is relied on for this cell, because none was found. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2022-78-20-0A on 21 September 2026 in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026. Its section 1 puts the kábítószer jegyzékek in the 1. melléklet, the pszichotróp anyag jegyzékek in the 2. melléklet, «A 2. melléklet tartalmazza a pszichotróp anyagnak minősülő anyagok jegyzékeit.», and the új pszichoaktív anyag jegyzék in the 3. melléklet. The Criminal Code was read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2012-100-00-00 on 21 September 2026 in the consolidated text as in force on 26 August 2026, and that rendering stops at section 339, so sections 459(1a) and 461 were read instead in the Act that enacted them, 2025. évi XIX. törvény sections 26 and 27, at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2025-19-00-00.0. The Criminal Code page carries a footnote recording that section 461 is the text established by section 27 of that Act, so the two readings agree. On the instrument itself: the schedules are not in 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet. That decree survives as the activities, licensing and definitions instrument, its 1. melléklet was repealed by section 11 h) of 607/2022. (XII. 28.) Korm. rendelet, and 78/2022 has carried the jegyzékek since 1 January 2023.

Etizolam

Legal status: Controlled. Etizolam is a named entry of the P4 jegyzék carried in the 2. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 27 reads «Etizolam (etizolám)». Column C reads «4-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-ethyl-9-methyl-6H-thieno[3,2-f][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]diazepine». Deschloroetizolam, metizolam and fluetizolam are rows 65, 68 and 310 of the table at point 6.1 of the 3. melléklet and sit inside the Criminal Code reference where this row does not. Paragraph 4.2 of the P4 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok sztereoizomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their salts where those exist. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary Etizolam sits at row 27 of the P4 jegyzék of 78/2022, which section 459(1a) does not carry into the Criminal Code. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. No section 461 small quantity value follows from this row. Section 459(1a) carries the K1 and K2 jegyzékek, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek and the 3. melléklet into the Criminal Code and does not carry the P3 or the P4 jegyzék, so the graduated quantity scheme in section 461 has nothing to attach to here. The live Hungary cell recorded the same result for a P3 or P4 entry, and this pass re-derived it from the text of section 459(1a). No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Hungary's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for Etizolam in Hungary and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the placement: the P4 jegyzék is a controlled schedule of the rendelet, so supply is licensed, and it is outside the definition section 459(1a) carries into the Criminal Code. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. The row this cell relies on is row 27 of the P4 jegyzék. Treat the route as unread rather than as open, and do not read a P4 placement as permission to carry the substance across a border. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for Etizolam, and get the Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer, and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. The row relied on for this cell is row 27 of the P4 jegyzék. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.)

Fentanyl

Legal status: Controlled. Fentanyl is a named entry of the K1 jegyzék carried in the 1. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 58 reads «Fentanyl (fentanil)». Column C reads «1-phenethyl-4-N-propionylanilinopiperidine». Twenty one further K1 rows and a long run of rows in the 3. melléklet carry the same string inside longer analogue names, among them «Acetylfentanyl* (acetilfentanil)» and «Tetrahydrofuranylfentanyl (tetrahidrofuranilfentanil)», and point 5 of the 3. melléklet describes the analogue family by structure, so a search on the bare string reaches many rows that are not this molecule. Paragraph 1.2 of the K1 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok izomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their esters, ethers and salts where those exist. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary Fentanyl sits at row 58 of the K1 jegyzék of 78/2022, and where a row sits is what decides whether the ordinary section 176 lane applies. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is not a printed weight. Section 461(4) covers a substance that sits on the K1 or K2 jegyzék of the 1. melléklet or the P1 or P2 jegyzék of the 2. melléklet and is not one of the substances section 461(1) or (2) names, and section 461(4)(a) makes the quantity small where the pure active ingredient content does not exceed seven times the average effective dose for a consumer who is not habituated, «csekély mennyiségű, ha annak tiszta hatóanyag-tartalma a hozzá nem szokott fogyasztó átlagos hatásos adagjának hétszeres mértékét nem haladja meg,». Section 461(4)(b) and (c) put the significant quantity at more than one hundred and forty times that dose and the particularly significant quantity at more than one thousand four hundred times it. The live Hungary cell printed the same rule for this row, in its own words: Seven times the average effective dose for a non-habituated user; Btk. §461(4)(a). This pass re-derived it from the text of the Act rather than carrying the figure forward. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for Fentanyl in Hungary and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the placement: the row this cell relies on is inside the definition section 459(1a) carries into the Criminal Code, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. The row this cell relies on is row 58 of the K1 jegyzék. Do not read this row as a statement that Fentanyl cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for Fentanyl, and get the Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer, and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. The row relied on for this cell is row 58 of the K1 jegyzék. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.)

Gabapentin

Legal status: Not listed. Gabapentin is not a named entry of the K1 or K2 jegyzék in the 1. melléklet, of the P1, P2, P3 or P4 jegyzék in the 2. melléklet, or of the új pszichoaktív anyagok jegyzéke in the 3. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, and it is not named in any of the five structural descriptions at points 1 to 5 of that 3. melléklet either. Those five points and the numbered table at point 6 are the whole of the listing content of that melléklet: point 7 is a reading rule and not a further group, «A jegyzékbe sorolás szempontjából a 6.1. pontban foglalt táblázat A és B oszlopában található adatok irányadóak, a C és D oszlop adatai a vegyületek számítógépes kereshetőségét biztosítják.». The forms searched were gabapentin, gabapentinum, 1-(aminomethyl)cyclohexaneacetic acid, in Hungarian orthography, with the accents stripped, and again over the text with every whitespace character removed so that a name broken across a line or a table cell could not read as an absence. None of those forms returns a row or a paragraph. Two other members of the gabapentinoid family are entries of the table at point 6.1 of the 3. melléklet, «Phenibut» at row 30 and «Pregabalin methyl ester» at row 212, so the family is not absent from the decree even though this member is. This is silence and not an express exclusion: the decree says nothing about the substance at all. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. An absence is a statement about a list at a moment. This one is stated as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read, and no later.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. None of the drug penalties below reaches Gabapentin through the jegyzékek, because they attach to the substances those jegyzékek name and this substance is not among them. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. No section 461 quantity value is stated for this row, because section 461 grades a quantity of kábítószer as section 459(1a) defines it, and this substance is not one of the entries that definition reaches. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Hungary's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled drug prescription question for Gabapentin in Hungary under these jegyzékek, because none of the six carries it. Whether Gabapentin is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. This substance is a prescription medicine in Hungary, and the jegyzékek do not add a narcotics layer on top of that. Treat the supply route as unread rather than as open. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry Gabapentin as the Hungarian medicines and consumer regimes allow and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance off the jegyzékek is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for this row and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears in what was read here. No row is relied on for this cell, because none was found. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2022-78-20-0A on 21 September 2026 in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026.

GBL

Legal status: Controlled. GBL is a named entry of the P1 jegyzék carried in the 2. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 61 reads «GBL*** (gamma-butirolakton)». Column B reads «gamma-butyrolactone» and column C reads «dihydrofuran-2(3H)-one». Paragraph 1.3.4 of the P1 jegyzék explains the triple asterisk as the mark for «*** jelöléssel azon anyagok, amelyek nemzeti ellenőrzése a hazai és nemzetközi rendészeti hatósági tapasztalatok alapján szigorúbb és nem szerepelnek a Kábítószer Egyezmény és Pszichotróp Egyezmény jegyzékeiben.». GHB itself is a separate entry at row 29 of the P2 jegyzék and carries a different figure. Paragraph 1.2 of the P1 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok sztereoizomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their salts where those exist. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary GBL sits at row 61 of the P1 jegyzék of 78/2022, and where a row sits is what decides whether the ordinary section 176 lane applies. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.».

Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is printed. Section 461(1)(d)(da) sets the csekély mennyiség, the small quantity, at «GBL esetén a 6,2 gramm,», which is 6.2 gramm of pure active ingredient. Section 461(3) then puts the significant quantity at more than twenty times the upper limit of that small quantity and the particularly significant quantity at more than two hundred times it. Section 461(8) adds that for a compound occurring in salt form the pure active ingredient content means the content expressed as base, «E törvény alkalmazásában só formában előforduló vegyületek esetén tiszta hatóanyag-tartalom alatt a bázis formában megadott hatóanyag-tartalmat kell érteni.». The live Hungary cell printed the same rule for this row, in its own words: 6.2 g GBL; Btk. §461(1)(d)(da). This pass re-derived it from the text of the Act rather than carrying the figure forward. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for GBL in Hungary and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the placement: the row this cell relies on is inside the definition section 459(1a) carries into the Criminal Code, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it.

GHB

Legal status: Controlled. GHB is a named entry of the P2 jegyzék carried in the 2. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 29 reads «gamma-Hydroxybutiric acid (gamma-hidroxi-vajsav)». Column B reads «GHB» and column C reads «γ-hydroxybutyric acid». The lactone GBL is a separate entry at row 61 of the P1 jegyzék and carries a different figure. Paragraph 2.2 of the P2 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok sztereoizomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their salts where those exist. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three.

BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary GHB sits at row 29 of the P2 jegyzék of 78/2022, and where a row sits is what decides whether the ordinary section 176 lane applies. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is printed. Section 461(1)(b) sets the csekély mennyiség, the small quantity, at «GHB esetén annak sav formában megadott tiszta hatóanyag-tartalma a 7,5 gramm,», which is 7.5 gramm of pure active ingredient expressed as the acid. Section 461(3) then puts the significant quantity at more than twenty times the upper limit of that small quantity and the particularly significant quantity at more than two hundred times it. Section 461(8) adds that for a compound occurring in salt form the pure active ingredient content means the content expressed as base, «E törvény alkalmazásában só formában előforduló vegyületek esetén tiszta hatóanyag-tartalom alatt a bázis formában megadott hatóanyag-tartalmat kell érteni.». The live Hungary cell printed the same rule for this row, in its own words: 7.5 g GHB acid form; Btk. §461(1)(b). This pass re-derived it from the text of the Act rather than carrying the figure forward. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for GHB in Hungary and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the placement: the row this cell relies on is inside the definition section 459(1a) carries into the Criminal Code, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. The row this cell relies on is row 29 of the P2 jegyzék. Do not read this row as a statement that GHB cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for GHB, and get the Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer, and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. The row relied on for this cell is row 29 of the P2 jegyzék. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.)

Heroin

Legal status: Controlled. Heroin is a named entry of the K1 jegyzék carried in the 1. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 61 reads «Heroin* (heroin)». Column C reads «diacetylmorphine». Paragraph 1.4 of the K1 jegyzék explains the single asterisk in the printed name: «A *-gal jelzett anyagok fokozott nemzetközi ellenőrzés alá esnek, és a Kábítószer Egyezmény IV. listáján is szerepelnek.» Paragraph 1.2 of the K1 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok izomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their esters, ethers and salts where those exist. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.)

The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.)

The quantity rule for this row is printed. Section 461(1)(a)(af) sets the csekély mennyiség, the small quantity, at «heroin esetén a 0,6 gramm,», which is 0.6 gramm of pure active ingredient expressed as base. Section 461(3) then puts the significant quantity at more than twenty times the upper limit of that small quantity and the particularly significant quantity at more than two hundred times it. Section 461(8) adds that for a compound occurring in salt form the pure active ingredient content means the content expressed as base, «E törvény alkalmazásában só formában előforduló vegyületek esetén tiszta hatóanyag-tartalom alatt a bázis formában megadott hatóanyag-tartalmat kell érteni.».

HHC

Legal status: Controlled. HHC is a named entry of the új pszichoaktív anyagok jegyzéke carried in the 3. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, at row 317 of the numbered table at point 6.1. Column A of that row reads «hexahydrocannabinol (HHC)». Column B reads «6a,7,8,9,10,10a-hexahydro-6,6,9-trimethyl-3-pentyl-6H-dibenzo[b,d]pyran-1-ol». Thirteen further rows of the same table are derivatives of it with numbers of their own, among them «Acetyl-hexahydrocannabinol (HHC acetate)», «Hexahydrocannabiphorol (HHC-P)», «hexahydrocannabihexol (HHCH)» and «9-Hydroxyhexahydrocannabinol (9-OH-HHC)», so each derivative is printed rather than swept in by the parent name. Points 6.2 and 6.3 of that melléklet extend the entry to «az ebben a jegyzékben felsorolt anyagok sztereoizomerjei, ha kémiai szerkezetük alapján azok léteznek,» and to «az ebben a jegyzékben felsorolt anyagok sói, beleértve a 6.2. pontban említett sztereoizomerek sóit, ha ilyen sók léteznek.» Point 7 adds that for listing purposes columns A and B of the table govern and columns C and D are search aids, «A jegyzékbe sorolás szempontjából a 6.1. pontban foglalt táblázat A és B oszlopában található adatok irányadóak, a C és D oszlop adatai a vegyületek számítógépes kereshetőségét biztosítják.». The 3. melléklet applies by its own opening words only where the compound is not already on the other two, «ha azok az 1. és 2. melléklet szerinti jegyzékeken nem szerepelnek». Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary HHC sits at row 317 of the table at point 6.1 of the 3. melléklet of 78/2022, and where a row sits is what decides whether the ordinary section 176 lane applies. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is printed. Section 461(5)(f) sets the csekély mennyiség, the small quantity, at «6. pontja szerinti anyagok esetében a 2 gramm», which is 2 gramm of pure active ingredient for the substances at point 6 of the 3. melléklet. Section 461(6) puts the significant quantity at more than twenty times the upper limit of that small quantity and section 461(7) puts the particularly significant quantity at more than two hundred times it. Section 461(8) adds that for a compound occurring in salt form the pure active ingredient content means the content expressed as base, «E törvény alkalmazásában só formában előforduló vegyületek esetén tiszta hatóanyag-tartalom alatt a bázis formában megadott hatóanyag-tartalmat kell érteni.». The live Hungary cell printed the same rule for this row, in its own words: 2 g pure active ingredient for Annex 3 point 6 substances; Btk. §461(5)(f). This pass re-derived it from the text of the Act rather than carrying the figure forward. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for HHC in Hungary and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the placement: the row this cell relies on is inside the definition section 459(1a) carries into the Criminal Code, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit.

Hydrocodone

Legal status: Controlled. Hydrocodone is a named entry of the K1 jegyzék carried in the 1. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 62 reads «Hydrocodone (hidrokodon)». Column C reads «dihydrocodeinone». Dihydrocodeine is a different molecule at row 5 of the K2 jegyzék and carries its own figure of 0.8 gramm under section 461(1)(a)(ae). Paragraph 1.2 of the K1 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok izomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their esters, ethers and salts where those exist. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary Hydrocodone sits at row 62 of the K1 jegyzék of 78/2022, and where a row sits is what decides whether the ordinary section 176 lane applies. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is not a printed weight. Section 461(4) covers a substance that sits on the K1 or K2 jegyzék of the 1. melléklet or the P1 or P2 jegyzék of the 2. melléklet and is not one of the substances section 461(1) or (2) names, and section 461(4)(a) makes the quantity small where the pure active ingredient content does not exceed seven times the average effective dose for a consumer who is not habituated, «csekély mennyiségű, ha annak tiszta hatóanyag-tartalma a hozzá nem szokott fogyasztó átlagos hatásos adagjának hétszeres mértékét nem haladja meg,». Section 461(4)(b) and (c) put the significant quantity at more than one hundred and forty times that dose and the particularly significant quantity at more than one thousand four hundred times it. The live Hungary cell printed the same rule for this row, in its own words: Seven times the average effective dose for a non-habituated user; Btk. §461(4)(a). This pass re-derived it from the text of the Act rather than carrying the figure forward. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for Hydrocodone in Hungary and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the placement: the row this cell relies on is inside the definition section 459(1a) carries into the Criminal Code, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. The row this cell relies on is row 62 of the K1 jegyzék. Do not read this row as a statement that Hydrocodone cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for Hydrocodone, and get the Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer, and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. The row relied on for this cell is row 62 of the K1 jegyzék. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.)

Ketamine

Legal status: Controlled. Ketamine is a named entry of the P2 jegyzék carried in the 2. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 30 reads «Ketamine*** (ketamin)». Column C reads «2-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-(methylamino)-cyclohexanone». The printed name carries three asterisks, and paragraph 2.3.3 of the P2 jegyzék explains that mark as «*** jelöléssel azon anyagok, amelyek nemzeti ellenőrzése a hazai és nemzetközi rendészeti hatósági tapasztalatok alapján szigorúbb és nem szerepelnek a Kábítószer Egyezmény és Pszichotróp Egyezmény jegyzékeiben.». Six further rows across the P1 jegyzék and the 3. melléklet carry the same string inside longer analogue names, among them «N-ethylnorketamine***» and «deschloro-N-ethyl-ketamine (O-PCE)», and none of them is ketamine. Paragraph 2.2 of the P2 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok sztereoizomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their salts where those exist. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary Ketamine sits at row 30 of the P2 jegyzék of 78/2022, and where a row sits is what decides whether the ordinary section 176 lane applies. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is printed. Section 461(1)(a)(ah) sets the csekély mennyiség, the small quantity, at «ketamin, kodein, MDA, MDMA, N-etil-MDA (MDE), MBDB, 1-PEA, N-metil-1-PEA, mCPP, metadon, 4-fluoramfetamin és petidin esetén az 1 gramm,», which is 1 gramm of pure active ingredient expressed as base. Section 461(3) then puts the significant quantity at more than twenty times the upper limit of that small quantity and the particularly significant quantity at more than two hundred times it. Section 461(8) adds that for a compound occurring in salt form the pure active ingredient content means the content expressed as base, «E törvény alkalmazásában só formában előforduló vegyületek esetén tiszta hatóanyag-tartalom alatt a bázis formában megadott hatóanyag-tartalmat kell érteni.». The live Hungary cell printed the same rule for this row, in its own words: 1 g ketamine base; Btk. §461(1)(a)(ah). This pass re-derived it from the text of the Act rather than carrying the figure forward. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own.

Khat

Legal status: Controlled. The leaf is not itself an entry, and it is not named in any of the six jegyzékek. The forms searched were khat, kat, Catha and katin, in Hungarian orthography, with the accents stripped, and again over the text with every whitespace character removed. What is named is cathinone, at row 41 of the P1 jegyzék, «Cathinone (katinon)», with «(-)-(S)-2-amino-propiophenone» in column C. Cathine, the other alkaloid of the same leaf, is at row 4 of the P3 jegyzék as «Cathine (katin)», and the P3 jegyzék is outside the Criminal Code reference, so the two alkaloids sit on opposite sides of it. Control is reached through the cathinone content, and a bare plant name does not settle which alkaloid a given leaf carries or in what amount. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.)

In Hungary Khat is reached through row 41 of the P1 jegyzék rather than through a row of its own, and where that row sits is what decides whether the ordinary section 176 lane applies. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is not a printed weight. Section 461(4) covers a substance that sits on the K1 or K2 jegyzék of the 1. melléklet or the P1 or P2 jegyzék of the 2. melléklet and is not one of the substances section 461(1) or (2) names, and section 461(4)(a) makes the quantity small where the pure active ingredient content does not exceed seven times the average effective dose for a consumer who is not habituated, «csekély mennyiségű, ha annak tiszta hatóanyag-tartalma a hozzá nem szokott fogyasztó átlagos hatásos adagjának hétszeres mértékét nem haladja meg,». Section 461(4)(b) and (c) put the significant quantity at more than one hundred and forty times that dose and the particularly significant quantity at more than one thousand four hundred times it. The live Hungary cell printed no quantity rule for this row, because it recorded the substance as outside the jegyzékek, and that reading is corrected here. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for Khat in Hungary and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the placement: the row this cell relies on is inside the definition section 459(1a) carries into the Criminal Code, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. The row this cell relies on is row 41 of the P1 jegyzék. Do not read this row as a statement that Khat cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for Khat, and get the Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer, and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. The row relied on for this cell is row 41 of the P1 jegyzék. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2022-78-20-0A on 21 September 2026 in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026. Its section 1 puts the kábítószer jegyzékek in the 1. melléklet, the pszichotróp anyag jegyzékek in the 2. melléklet, «A 2. melléklet tartalmazza a pszichotróp anyagnak minősülő anyagok jegyzékeit.», and the új pszichoaktív anyag jegyzék in the 3. melléklet. The Criminal Code was read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2012-100-00-00 on 21 September 2026 in the consolidated text as in force on 26 August 2026, and that rendering stops at section 339, so sections 459(1a) and 461 were read instead in the Act that enacted them, 2025. évi XIX. törvény sections 26 and 27, at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2025-19-00-00.0. The Criminal Code page carries a footnote recording that section 461 is the text established by section 27 of that Act, so the two readings agree. On the instrument itself: the schedules are not in 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet. That decree survives as the activities, licensing and definitions instrument, its 1. melléklet was repealed by section 11 h) of 607/2022. (XII. 28.) Korm. rendelet, and 78/2022 has carried the jegyzékek since 1 January 2023. The dossier this lane was given recorded a search of section 1 and all three mellékletek with no entry found. That search record is incomplete for this row, and what it missed is set out in the legal status field above.

Hungary, Khat, not itself a named entry, reached through a named entry or a structural description of 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról as the legal status field sets out · the entry or the search record is quoted in full in the legal status field and is not repeated here · the rendelet, consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026, read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2022-78-20-0A on 21 September 2026 · 2012. évi C. törvény a Büntető Törvénykönyvről, sections 176 to 180, read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2012-100-00-00 on 21 September 2026 · sections 459(1a) and 461 of that Act as established by sections 26 and 27 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2025-19-00-00.0 on 21 September 2026, because the Nemzeti Jogszabálytár rendering of the Criminal Code stops at section 339 · 66/2012.

Kratom

Legal status: Not listed. Kratom is not a named entry of the K1 or K2 jegyzék in the 1. melléklet, of the P1, P2, P3 or P4 jegyzék in the 2. melléklet, or of the új pszichoaktív anyagok jegyzéke in the 3. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, and it is not named in any of the five structural descriptions at points 1 to 5 of that 3. melléklet either. Those five points and the numbered table at point 6 are the whole of the listing content of that melléklet: point 7 is a reading rule and not a further group, «A jegyzékbe sorolás szempontjából a 6.1. pontban foglalt táblázat A és B oszlopában található adatok irányadóak, a C és D oszlop adatai a vegyületek számítógépes kereshetőségét biztosítják.». The forms searched were kratom, Mitragyna, mitragin, mitragyn, ketum, in Hungarian orthography, with the accents stripped, and again over the text with every whitespace character removed so that a name broken across a line or a table cell could not read as an absence. No row and no paragraph of the decree contains the letters mitra in any form, which was checked over the running text and again over the text with every whitespace character removed. This is silence and not an express exclusion: the decree says nothing about the substance at all. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. An absence is a statement about a list at a moment. This one is stated as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read, and no later.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. None of the drug penalties below reaches Kratom through the jegyzékek, because they attach to the substances those jegyzékek name and this substance is not among them. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. No section 461 quantity value is stated for this row, because section 461 grades a quantity of kábítószer as section 459(1a) defines it, and this substance is not one of the entries that definition reaches. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Hungary's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled drug prescription question for Kratom in Hungary under these jegyzékek, because none of the six carries it. Whether Kratom is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. The leaf is sold as a botanical and is not a Hungarian medicine, so there is no prescribing route to describe. Treat the supply route as unread rather than as open. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry Kratom as the Hungarian medicines and consumer regimes allow and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance off the jegyzékek is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for this row and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears in what was read here. No row is relied on for this cell, because none was found. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.)

Lorazepam

Legal status: Controlled. Lorazepam is a named entry of the P4 jegyzék carried in the 2. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 39 reads «Lorazepam (lorazepám)». Column C reads «7-chloro-5-(o-chlorophenyl)-1,3-dihydro-3-hydroxy-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one». Delorazepam at row 19, «Delorazepam (delorazepám)», is a different molecule whose printed name contains the same string. Paragraph 4.2 of the P4 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok sztereoizomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their salts where those exist. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.)

The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary Lorazepam sits at row 39 of the P4 jegyzék of 78/2022, which section 459(1a) does not carry into the Criminal Code. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.».

Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. No section 461 small quantity value follows from this row. Section 459(1a) carries the K1 and K2 jegyzékek, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek and the 3. melléklet into the Criminal Code and does not carry the P3 or the P4 jegyzék, so the graduated quantity scheme in section 461 has nothing to attach to here. The live Hungary cell recorded the same result for a P3 or P4 entry, and this pass re-derived it from the text of section 459(1a). No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Hungary's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure.

LSA (Morning Glory)

Legal status: Controlled. LSA is a named entry of the új pszichoaktív anyagok jegyzéke carried in the 3. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, at row 241 of the numbered table at point 6.1. Column A of that row reads «LSA». Column B reads «(6aS,9S)-7-methyl-6,6a,8,9-tetrahydro-4H-indolo[4,3-fg]quinoline-9-carboxamide», which is lysergic acid amide. Points 6.2 and 6.3 of that melléklet extend the entry to «az ebben a jegyzékben felsorolt anyagok sztereoizomerjei, ha kémiai szerkezetük alapján azok léteznek,» and to «az ebben a jegyzékben felsorolt anyagok sói, beleértve a 6.2. pontban említett sztereoizomerek sóit, ha ilyen sók léteznek.» Point 7 adds that for listing purposes columns A and B of the table govern and columns C and D are search aids, «A jegyzékbe sorolás szempontjából a 6.1. pontban foglalt táblázat A és B oszlopában található adatok irányadóak, a C és D oszlop adatai a vegyületek számítógépes kereshetőségét biztosítják.». The 3. melléklet applies by its own opening words only where the compound is not already on the other two, «ha azok az 1. és 2. melléklet szerinti jegyzékeken nem szerepelnek». Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary LSA sits at row 241 of the table at point 6.1 of the 3. melléklet of 78/2022, and where a row sits is what decides whether the ordinary section 176 lane applies. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is printed. Section 461(5)(f) sets the csekély mennyiség, the small quantity, at «6. pontja szerinti anyagok esetében a 2 gramm», which is 2 gramm of pure active ingredient for the substances at point 6 of the 3. melléklet. Section 461(6) puts the significant quantity at more than twenty times the upper limit of that small quantity and section 461(7) puts the particularly significant quantity at more than two hundred times it. Section 461(8) adds that for a compound occurring in salt form the pure active ingredient content means the content expressed as base, «E törvény alkalmazásában só formában előforduló vegyületek esetén tiszta hatóanyag-tartalom alatt a bázis formában megadott hatóanyag-tartalmat kell érteni.». The live Hungary cell printed the same rule for this row, in its own words: 2 g pure active ingredient for Annex 3 point 6 substances; Btk. §461(5)(f). This pass re-derived it from the text of the Act rather than carrying the figure forward. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for LSA in Hungary and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the placement: the row this cell relies on is inside the definition section 459(1a) carries into the Criminal Code, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. The row this cell relies on is row 241 of the table at point 6.1 of the 3. melléklet. Do not read this row as a statement that LSA cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for LSA, and get the Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer, and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. The row relied on for this cell is row 241 of the table at point 6.1 of the 3. melléklet. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2022-78-20-0A on 21 September 2026 in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026. Its section 1 puts the kábítószer jegyzékek in the 1. melléklet, the pszichotróp anyag jegyzékek in the 2. melléklet, «A 2. melléklet tartalmazza a pszichotróp anyagnak minősülő anyagok jegyzékeit.», and the új pszichoaktív anyag jegyzék in the 3. melléklet. The Criminal Code was read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2012-100-00-00 on 21 September 2026 in the consolidated text as in force on 26 August 2026, and that rendering stops at section 339, so sections 459(1a) and 461 were read instead in the Act that enacted them, 2025. évi XIX. törvény sections 26 and 27, at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2025-19-00-00.0. The Criminal Code page carries a footnote recording that section 461 is the text established by section 27 of that Act, so the two readings agree. On the instrument itself: the schedules are not in 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet. That decree survives as the activities, licensing and definitions instrument, its 1. melléklet was repealed by section 11 h) of 607/2022. (XII. 28.) Korm. rendelet, and 78/2022 has carried the jegyzékek since 1 January 2023.

LSD

Legal status: Controlled. LSD is a named entry of the P1 jegyzék carried in the 2. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 70 reads «(+)-Lysergide ( (+)-lizergid )». Column B of the same row prints «LSD, LSD-25», so the street acronym reaches the row without any inference, and column C gives the chemical name «9,10-didehydro-N,N-diethyl-6-methylergoline-8β-carboxamide». Paragraph 1.2 of the P1 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok sztereoizomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their salts where those exist. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three.

The quantity rule for this row is printed. Section 461(1)(a)(aa) sets the csekély mennyiség, the small quantity, at «LSD esetén a 0,001 gramm,», which is 0.001 gramm of pure active ingredient expressed as base. Section 461(3) then puts the significant quantity at more than twenty times the upper limit of that small quantity and the particularly significant quantity at more than two hundred times it. Section 461(8) adds that for a compound occurring in salt form the pure active ingredient content means the content expressed as base, «E törvény alkalmazásában só formában előforduló vegyületek esetén tiszta hatóanyag-tartalom alatt a bázis formában megadott hatóanyag-tartalmat kell érteni.».

MDA

Legal status: Controlled. MDA is a named entry of the P1 jegyzék carried in the 2. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 110 reads «Tenamfetamine (tenamfetamin)». The official name in column A is the international non proprietary name and the acronym asked for is in column B of the same row, «MDA», with «α-methyl-3,4-(methylenedioxy)phenethylamine» in column C. Row 76 is «MDE (N-etil-MDA)» and row 93 is «N-hydroxy MDA (N-hidroxi-MDA)», both different molecules whose printed names contain the same three letters, so the acronym alone was not treated as the match. Paragraph 1.2 of the P1 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok sztereoizomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their salts where those exist.

Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is printed. Section 461(1)(a)(ah) sets the csekély mennyiség, the small quantity, at «ketamin, kodein, MDA, MDMA, N-etil-MDA (MDE), MBDB, 1-PEA, N-metil-1-PEA, mCPP, metadon, 4-fluoramfetamin és petidin esetén az 1 gramm,», which is 1 gramm of pure active ingredient expressed as base. Section 461(3) then puts the significant quantity at more than twenty times the upper limit of that small quantity and the particularly significant quantity at more than two hundred times it. Section 461(8) adds that for a compound occurring in salt form the pure active ingredient content means the content expressed as base, «E törvény alkalmazásában só formában előforduló vegyületek esetén tiszta hatóanyag-tartalom alatt a bázis formában megadott hatóanyag-tartalmat kell érteni.». The live Hungary cell printed the same rule for this row, in its own words: 1 g MDA base; Btk. §461(1)(a)(ah). This pass re-derived it from the text of the Act rather than carrying the figure forward. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for MDA in Hungary and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the placement: the row this cell relies on is inside the definition section 459(1a) carries into the Criminal Code, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. The row this cell relies on is row 110 of the P1 jegyzék. Do not read this row as a statement that MDA cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for MDA, and get the Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer, and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists.

MDMA

Legal status: Controlled. MDMA is a named entry of the P1 jegyzék carried in the 2. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 77 reads «MDMA». Column C reads «(±)-N,α-dimethyl-3,4-(methylenedioxy)phenethylamine». Row 83 of the same jegyzék prints «Methylone** (Metilon)» with the alias «beta-keto-MDMA» in column B, and that is a different molecule with a row and a figure of its own. Paragraph 1.2 of the P1 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok sztereoizomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their salts where those exist. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary MDMA sits at row 77 of the P1 jegyzék of 78/2022, and where a row sits is what decides whether the ordinary section 176 lane applies. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is printed. Section 461(1)(a)(ah) sets the csekély mennyiség, the small quantity, at «ketamin, kodein, MDA, MDMA, N-etil-MDA (MDE), MBDB, 1-PEA, N-metil-1-PEA, mCPP, metadon, 4-fluoramfetamin és petidin esetén az 1 gramm,», which is 1 gramm of pure active ingredient expressed as base. Section 461(3) then puts the significant quantity at more than twenty times the upper limit of that small quantity and the particularly significant quantity at more than two hundred times it. Section 461(8) adds that for a compound occurring in salt form the pure active ingredient content means the content expressed as base, «E törvény alkalmazásában só formában előforduló vegyületek esetén tiszta hatóanyag-tartalom alatt a bázis formában megadott hatóanyag-tartalmat kell érteni.». The live Hungary cell printed the same rule for this row, in its own words: 1 g MDMA base; Btk. §461(1)(a)(ah). This pass re-derived it from the text of the Act rather than carrying the figure forward. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.

MDPV

Legal status: Controlled. MDPV is a named entry of the P1 jegyzék carried in the 2. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 12 reads «3,4-methylenedioxypyrovalerone ** (3,4-metiléndioxipirovaleron)». Column B reads «MDPV» and column C reads «(RS)-1-(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)pentan-1-one». The decree prints the substance a second time in its European law clause, which recites «a 3,4-metilén-dioxi-pirovaleron (MDPV)». Pyrovalerone itself is a separate entry at row 61 of the P4 jegyzék, «Pyrovalerone (pirovaleron)», and that is a different molecule on a jegyzék the Criminal Code does not reach. Paragraph 1.2 of the P1 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok sztereoizomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their salts where those exist. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three.

Section 461(3) then puts the significant quantity at more than twenty times the upper limit of that small quantity and the particularly significant quantity at more than two hundred times it. Section 461(8) adds that for a compound occurring in salt form the pure active ingredient content means the content expressed as base, «E törvény alkalmazásában só formában előforduló vegyületek esetén tiszta hatóanyag-tartalom alatt a bázis formában megadott hatóanyag-tartalmat kell érteni.».

Memantine

Legal status: Not listed. Memantine is not a named entry of the K1 or K2 jegyzék in the 1. melléklet, of the P1, P2, P3 or P4 jegyzék in the 2. melléklet, or of the új pszichoaktív anyagok jegyzéke in the 3. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, and it is not named in any of the five structural descriptions at points 1 to 5 of that 3. melléklet either. Those five points and the numbered table at point 6 are the whole of the listing content of that melléklet: point 7 is a reading rule and not a further group, «A jegyzékbe sorolás szempontjából a 6.1. pontban foglalt táblázat A és B oszlopában található adatok irányadóak, a C és D oszlop adatai a vegyületek számítógépes kereshetőségét biztosítják.». The forms searched were memantin, memantine, 1-amino-3,5-dimethyladamantane, in Hungarian orthography, with the accents stripped, and again over the text with every whitespace character removed so that a name broken across a line or a table cell could not read as an absence. None of those forms returns a row or a paragraph. The adamantane skeleton does appear in the decree, but only inside synthetic cannabinoid names: «5F-AKB-48» at row 6 of the P2 jegyzék carries «N-(adamantan-1-yl)-1-(5-fluoropentyl)-1H-indazole-3-carboxamide» in column C, and three further rows of the 3. melléklet are built the same way. Those are a different family and a different molecule. This is silence and not an express exclusion: the decree says nothing about the substance at all. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. An absence is a statement about a list at a moment. This one is stated as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read, and no later.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. None of the drug penalties below reaches Memantine through the jegyzékek, because they attach to the substances those jegyzékek name and this substance is not among them. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. No section 461 quantity value is stated for this row, because section 461 grades a quantity of kábítószer as section 459(1a) defines it, and this substance is not one of the entries that definition reaches. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Hungary's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled drug prescription question for Memantine in Hungary under these jegyzékek, because none of the six carries it. Whether Memantine is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. This substance is a prescription medicine in Hungary for a neurological indication, and the jegyzékek say nothing about it either way. Treat the supply route as unread rather than as open. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry Memantine as the Hungarian medicines and consumer regimes allow and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance off the jegyzékek is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for this row and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears in what was read here. No row is relied on for this cell, because none was found. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2022-78-20-0A on 21 September 2026 in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026. Its section 1 puts the kábítószer jegyzékek in the 1. melléklet, the pszichotróp anyag jegyzékek in the 2. melléklet, «A 2. melléklet tartalmazza a pszichotróp anyagnak minősülő anyagok jegyzékeit.», and the új pszichoaktív anyag jegyzék in the 3. melléklet. The Criminal Code was read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2012-100-00-00 on 21 September 2026 in the consolidated text as in force on 26 August 2026, and that rendering stops at section 339, so sections 459(1a) and 461 were read instead in the Act that enacted them, 2025. évi XIX. törvény sections 26 and 27, at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2025-19-00-00.0. The Criminal Code page carries a footnote recording that section 461 is the text established by section 27 of that Act, so the two readings agree. On the instrument itself: the schedules are not in 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet. That decree survives as the activities, licensing and definitions instrument, its 1. melléklet was repealed by section 11 h) of 607/2022. (XII. 28.) Korm. rendelet, and 78/2022 has carried the jegyzékek since 1 January 2023.

Mephedrone (4-MMC)

Legal status: Controlled. Mephedrone is a named entry of the P1 jegyzék carried in the 2. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 79 reads «MephedroneEU (mefedron)». Column B reads «4-methylmethcathinone, 4-methylephedrone, 4-MMC» and column C reads «(RS)-2-methylamino-1-(4-methylphenyl)propan1-one». The decree prints the substance a second time in its own European law clause, which recites «a 4-metilmetkatinon (mefedron) ellenőrzési intézkedések alá vonásáról szóló, 2010. december 2-i 2010/759/IB tanácsi határozatnak». Paragraph 1.2 of the P1 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok sztereoizomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their salts where those exist. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary Mephedrone sits at row 79 of the P1 jegyzék of 78/2022, and where a row sits is what decides whether the ordinary section 176 lane applies. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is printed. Section 461(1)(a)(ai) sets the csekély mennyiség, the small quantity, at «mefedron, metilon és 4-MEC esetén az 1,5 gramm,», which is 1.5 gramm of pure active ingredient expressed as base. Section 461(3) then puts the significant quantity at more than twenty times the upper limit of that small quantity and the particularly significant quantity at more than two hundred times it. Section 461(8) adds that for a compound occurring in salt form the pure active ingredient content means the content expressed as base, «E törvény alkalmazásában só formában előforduló vegyületek esetén tiszta hatóanyag-tartalom alatt a bázis formában megadott hatóanyag-tartalmat kell érteni.». The live Hungary cell printed the same rule for this row, in its own words: 1.5 g mephedrone base; Btk. §461(1)(a)(ai). This pass re-derived it from the text of the Act rather than carrying the figure forward. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for Mephedrone in Hungary and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the placement: the row this cell relies on is inside the definition section 459(1a) carries into the Criminal Code, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. The row this cell relies on is row 79 of the P1 jegyzék. Do not read this row as a statement that Mephedrone cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for Mephedrone, and get the Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer, and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. The row relied on for this cell is row 79 of the P1 jegyzék. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.)

Mescaline

Legal status: Controlled. Mescaline is a named entry of the P1 jegyzék carried in the 2. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 80 reads «Mescaline (meszkalin)». Column C gives «3,4,5-trimethoxyphenethylamine», which is the molecule and not a plant. Paragraph 1.2 of the P1 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok sztereoizomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their salts where those exist. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three.

Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.».

Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is not a printed weight. Section 461(4) covers a substance that sits on the K1 or K2 jegyzék of the 1. melléklet or the P1 or P2 jegyzék of the 2. melléklet and is not one of the substances section 461(1) or (2) names, and section 461(4)(a) makes the quantity small where the pure active ingredient content does not exceed seven times the average effective dose for a consumer who is not habituated, «csekély mennyiségű, ha annak tiszta hatóanyag-tartalma a hozzá nem szokott fogyasztó átlagos hatásos adagjának hétszeres mértékét nem haladja meg,». Section 461(4)(b) and (c) put the significant quantity at more than one hundred and forty times that dose and the particularly significant quantity at more than one thousand four hundred times it. The live Hungary cell printed the same rule for this row, in its own words: Seven times the average effective dose for a non-habituated user; Btk. §461(4)(a). This pass re-derived it from the text of the Act rather than carrying the figure forward. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for Mescaline in Hungary and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the placement: the row this cell relies on is inside the definition section 459(1a) carries into the Criminal Code, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. The row this cell relies on is row 80 of the P1 jegyzék. Do not read this row as a statement that Mescaline cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for Mescaline, and get the Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer, and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. The row relied on for this cell is row 80 of the P1 jegyzék. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.)

Methadone

Legal status: Controlled. Methadone is a named entry of the K1 jegyzék carried in the 1. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 74 reads «Methadone (metadon)». Column C reads «6-dimethylamino-4,4-diphenyl-3-heptanone». Isomethadone at row 66, the methadone intermediate at row 75, «Methadone intermediate (metadon intermedier)», and normethadone at row 91 are three further rows that carry the same string and are not this molecule. Paragraph 1.2 of the K1 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok izomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their esters, ethers and salts where those exist. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary Methadone sits at row 74 of the K1 jegyzék of 78/2022, and where a row sits is what decides whether the ordinary section 176 lane applies. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is printed. Section 461(1)(a)(ah) sets the csekély mennyiség, the small quantity, at «ketamin, kodein, MDA, MDMA, N-etil-MDA (MDE), MBDB, 1-PEA, N-metil-1-PEA, mCPP, metadon, 4-fluoramfetamin és petidin esetén az 1 gramm,», which is 1 gramm of pure active ingredient expressed as base. Section 461(3) then puts the significant quantity at more than twenty times the upper limit of that small quantity and the particularly significant quantity at more than two hundred times it. Section 461(8) adds that for a compound occurring in salt form the pure active ingredient content means the content expressed as base, «E törvény alkalmazásában só formában előforduló vegyületek esetén tiszta hatóanyag-tartalom alatt a bázis formában megadott hatóanyag-tartalmat kell érteni.». The live Hungary cell printed the same rule for this row, in its own words: 1 g methadone base; Btk. §461(1)(a)(ah). This pass re-derived it from the text of the Act rather than carrying the figure forward. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.

Methamphetamine

Legal status: Controlled. Methamphetamine is a named entry of the P2 jegyzék carried in the 2. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 35 reads «Metamfetamine (metamfetamin)». Column B reads «metamphetamine» and column C reads «(+)-(S)-N,α-dimethylphenethylamine», which is the dextro form. The levo form is a separate row at 32, «Levomethamphetamine (levometamfetamin)», and the racemate a third at 36, «Metamfetamine racemate (metamfetamin racemát)», so all three are individually printed. Paragraph 2.2 of the P2 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok sztereoizomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their salts where those exist. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three.

Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary Methaqualone sits at row 37 of the P2 jegyzék of 78/2022, and where a row sits is what decides whether the ordinary section 176 lane applies. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is not a printed weight. Section 461(4) covers a substance that sits on the K1 or K2 jegyzék of the 1. melléklet or the P1 or P2 jegyzék of the 2. melléklet and is not one of the substances section 461(1) or (2) names, and section 461(4)(a) makes the quantity small where the pure active ingredient content does not exceed seven times the average effective dose for a consumer who is not habituated, «csekély mennyiségű, ha annak tiszta hatóanyag-tartalma a hozzá nem szokott fogyasztó átlagos hatásos adagjának hétszeres mértékét nem haladja meg,». Section 461(4)(b) and (c) put the significant quantity at more than one hundred and forty times that dose and the particularly significant quantity at more than one thousand four hundred times it. The live Hungary cell printed the same rule for this row, in its own words: Seven times the average effective dose for a non-habituated user; Btk. §461(4)(a). This pass re-derived it from the text of the Act rather than carrying the figure forward. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for Methaqualone in Hungary and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the placement: the row this cell relies on is inside the definition section 459(1a) carries into the Criminal Code, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. The row this cell relies on is row 37 of the P2 jegyzék. Do not read this row as a statement that Methaqualone cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for Methaqualone, and get the Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer, and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. The row relied on for this cell is row 37 of the P2 jegyzék. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.)

Its section 1 puts the kábítószer jegyzékek in the 1. melléklet, the pszichotróp anyag jegyzékek in the 2. melléklet, «A 2. melléklet tartalmazza a pszichotróp anyagnak minősülő anyagok jegyzékeit.», and the új pszichoaktív anyag jegyzék in the 3. melléklet. The Criminal Code was read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2012-100-00-00 on 21 September 2026 in the consolidated text as in force on 26 August 2026, and that rendering stops at section 339, so sections 459(1a) and 461 were read instead in the Act that enacted them, 2025. évi XIX. törvény sections 26 and 27, at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2025-19-00-00.0. The Criminal Code page carries a footnote recording that section 461 is the text established by section 27 of that Act, so the two readings agree. On the instrument itself: the schedules are not in 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet. That decree survives as the activities, licensing and definitions instrument, its 1. melléklet was repealed by section 11 h) of 607/2022. (XII. 28.) Korm. rendelet, and 78/2022 has carried the jegyzékek since 1 January 2023.

Methylone

Legal status: Controlled. Methylone is a named entry of the P1 jegyzék carried in the 2. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 83 reads «Methylone** (Metilon)». Column B reads «beta-keto-MDMA» and column C reads «(RS)-2-methylamino-1-(3,4- methylenedioxyphenyl)propan-1-one». Paragraph 1.3.3 of the P1 jegyzék explains the double asterisk in the printed name as the mark for «** jelöléssel azon anyagok, amelyek nemzeti ellenőrzése a hazai és nemzetközi rendészeti hatósági tapasztalatok alapján szigorúbb, mint a Pszichotróp Egyezmény előírása,». Paragraph 1.2 of the P1 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok sztereoizomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their salts where those exist. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.)

The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.)

The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.».

Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is printed. Section 461(1)(a)(ai) sets the csekély mennyiség, the small quantity, at «mefedron, metilon és 4-MEC esetén az 1,5 gramm,», which is 1.5 gramm of pure active ingredient expressed as base. Section 461(3) then puts the significant quantity at more than twenty times the upper limit of that small quantity and the particularly significant quantity at more than two hundred times it. Section 461(8) adds that for a compound occurring in salt form the pure active ingredient content means the content expressed as base, «E törvény alkalmazásában só formában előforduló vegyületek esetén tiszta hatóanyag-tartalom alatt a bázis formában megadott hatóanyag-tartalmat kell érteni.». The live Hungary cell printed the same rule for this row, in its own words: 1.5 g methylone base; Btk. §461(1)(a)(ai). This pass re-derived it from the text of the Act rather than carrying the figure forward. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own.

Column A of row 38 reads «Methylphenidate (metilfenidát)». Column C reads «Methyl α-phenyl-2-piperidine acetate».

Mitragynine

Legal status: Not listed. Mitragynine is not a named entry of the K1 or K2 jegyzék in the 1. melléklet, of the P1, P2, P3 or P4 jegyzék in the 2. melléklet, or of the új pszichoaktív anyagok jegyzéke in the 3. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, and it is not named in any of the five structural descriptions at points 1 to 5 of that 3. melléklet either. Those five points and the numbered table at point 6 are the whole of the listing content of that melléklet: point 7 is a reading rule and not a further group, «A jegyzékbe sorolás szempontjából a 6.1. pontban foglalt táblázat A és B oszlopában található adatok irányadóak, a C és D oszlop adatai a vegyületek számítógépes kereshetőségét biztosítják.». The forms searched were mitraginin, mitragynine, mitragin, mitragyn, in Hungarian orthography, with the accents stripped, and again over the text with every whitespace character removed so that a name broken across a line or a table cell could not read as an absence. No row and no paragraph of the decree contains the letters mitra in any form. The structural description at point 3 of the 3. melléklet, «Azok a triptamin (2-(1H-indol-3-il)etánamin) szerkezeti részt tartalmazó vegyületek, amelyekben», reaches compounds in which the amine nitrogen carries «legfeljebb 4 szénatomos alkil-, vagy alkenilcsoportot, illetve csoportokat tartalmaz». In this molecule that nitrogen is a member of a fused ring system rather than the bearer of such groups, so point 3 was read for this row and found not to reach it. That is a reading of a structural description and not a printed row. This is silence and not an express exclusion: the decree says nothing about the substance at all. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. An absence is a statement about a list at a moment. This one is stated as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read, and no later.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. None of the drug penalties below reaches Mitragynine through the jegyzékek, because they attach to the substances those jegyzékek name and this substance is not among them. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. No section 461 quantity value is stated for this row, because section 461 grades a quantity of kábítószer as section 459(1a) defines it, and this substance is not one of the entries that definition reaches. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Hungary's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled drug prescription question for Mitragynine in Hungary under these jegyzékek, because none of the six carries it. Whether Mitragynine is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. The alkaloid has no Hungarian medicinal form, so there is no prescribing route to describe. Treat the supply route as unread rather than as open. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry Mitragynine as the Hungarian medicines and consumer regimes allow and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance off the jegyzékek is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for this row and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears in what was read here. No row is relied on for this cell, because none was found. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2022-78-20-0A on 21 September 2026 in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026.

Modafinil

Legal status: Controlled. Modafinil is a named entry of the P2 jegyzék carried in the 2. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 51 reads «Modafinil***». Column C reads «2-[(diphenylmethyl)sulfinyl]acetamide». The printed name carries three asterisks, and paragraph 2.3.3 of the P2 jegyzék explains that mark as «*** jelöléssel azon anyagok, amelyek nemzeti ellenőrzése a hazai és nemzetközi rendészeti hatósági tapasztalatok alapján szigorúbb és nem szerepelnek a Kábítószer Egyezmény és Pszichotróp Egyezmény jegyzékeiben.». The sulphone is a separate row at 50 of the same jegyzék, «Modafinil sulphone***», with «2-[(diphenylmethyl)sulfonyl]acetamide» in column C. Paragraph 2.2 of the P2 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok sztereoizomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their salts where those exist. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary Modafinil sits at row 51 of the P2 jegyzék of 78/2022, and where a row sits is what decides whether the ordinary section 176 lane applies. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is not a printed weight. Section 461(4) covers a substance that sits on the K1 or K2 jegyzék of the 1. melléklet or the P1 or P2 jegyzék of the 2. melléklet and is not one of the substances section 461(1) or (2) names, and section 461(4)(a) makes the quantity small where the pure active ingredient content does not exceed seven times the average effective dose for a consumer who is not habituated, «csekély mennyiségű, ha annak tiszta hatóanyag-tartalma a hozzá nem szokott fogyasztó átlagos hatásos adagjának hétszeres mértékét nem haladja meg,». Section 461(4)(b) and (c) put the significant quantity at more than one hundred and forty times that dose and the particularly significant quantity at more than one thousand four hundred times it. The live Hungary cell printed the same rule for this row, in its own words: Seven times the average effective dose for a non-habituated user; Btk. §461(4)(a). This pass re-derived it from the text of the Act rather than carrying the figure forward. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for Modafinil in Hungary and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the placement: the row this cell relies on is inside the definition section 459(1a) carries into the Criminal Code, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. The row this cell relies on is row 51 of the P2 jegyzék. Do not read this row as a statement that Modafinil cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for Modafinil, and get the Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer, and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. The row relied on for this cell is row 51 of the P2 jegyzék. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.)

Morphine

Legal status: Controlled. Morphine is a named entry of the K1 jegyzék carried in the 1. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 83 reads «Morphine (morfin)». Column C reads «az ópium és ópium mák fő alkaloidja», which describes it as the principal alkaloid of opium and the opium poppy. Ten further K1 and K2 rows carry the same string inside longer derivative names, among them «Normorphine (normorfin)» and «Ethylmorphine (etilmorfin)», and none of them is morphine. Paragraph 1.2 of the K1 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok izomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their esters, ethers and salts where those exist. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary Morphine sits at row 83 of the K1 jegyzék of 78/2022, and where a row sits is what decides whether the ordinary section 176 lane applies. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is printed. Section 461(1)(a)(ag) sets the csekély mennyiség, the small quantity, at «morfin esetén a 0,9 gramm,», which is 0.9 gramm of pure active ingredient expressed as base. Section 461(3) then puts the significant quantity at more than twenty times the upper limit of that small quantity and the particularly significant quantity at more than two hundred times it. Section 461(8) adds that for a compound occurring in salt form the pure active ingredient content means the content expressed as base, «E törvény alkalmazásában só formában előforduló vegyületek esetén tiszta hatóanyag-tartalom alatt a bázis formában megadott hatóanyag-tartalmat kell érteni.». The live Hungary cell printed the same rule for this row, in its own words: 0.9 g morphine base; Btk. §461(1)(a)(ag). This pass re-derived it from the text of the Act rather than carrying the figure forward. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for Morphine in Hungary and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the placement: the row this cell relies on is inside the definition section 459(1a) carries into the Criminal Code, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. The row this cell relies on is row 83 of the K1 jegyzék. Do not read this row as a statement that Morphine cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for Morphine, and get the Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer, and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. The row relied on for this cell is row 83 of the K1 jegyzék. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.)

MXE

Legal status: Controlled. MXE is a named entry of the P1 jegyzék carried in the 2. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 82 reads «Methoxetamine** (metoxetamin)». Column B reads «MXE» and column C reads «(RS)-2-(3-methoxyphenyl)-2-(ethylamino)-cyclohexanone». The decree prints the substance a second time in its European law clause, which recites «a 2-(3-metoxi-fenil)-2-(etil-amino) ciklohexanon (metoxetamin)». Paragraph 1.2 of the P1 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok sztereoizomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their salts where those exist. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary MXE sits at row 82 of the P1 jegyzék of 78/2022, and where a row sits is what decides whether the ordinary section 176 lane applies. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is not a printed weight. Section 461(4) covers a substance that sits on the K1 or K2 jegyzék of the 1. melléklet or the P1 or P2 jegyzék of the 2. melléklet and is not one of the substances section 461(1) or (2) names, and section 461(4)(a) makes the quantity small where the pure active ingredient content does not exceed seven times the average effective dose for a consumer who is not habituated, «csekély mennyiségű, ha annak tiszta hatóanyag-tartalma a hozzá nem szokott fogyasztó átlagos hatásos adagjának hétszeres mértékét nem haladja meg,». Section 461(4)(b) and (c) put the significant quantity at more than one hundred and forty times that dose and the particularly significant quantity at more than one thousand four hundred times it. The live Hungary cell printed the same rule for this row, in its own words: Seven times the average effective dose for a non-habituated user; Btk. §461(4)(a). This pass re-derived it from the text of the Act rather than carrying the figure forward. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for MXE in Hungary and this row does not settle it.

Nicotine

Legal status: Not listed. Nicotine is not a named entry of the K1 or K2 jegyzék in the 1. melléklet, of the P1, P2, P3 or P4 jegyzék in the 2. melléklet, or of the új pszichoaktív anyagok jegyzéke in the 3. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, and it is not named in any of the five structural descriptions at points 1 to 5 of that 3. melléklet either. Those five points and the numbered table at point 6 are the whole of the listing content of that melléklet: point 7 is a reading rule and not a further group, «A jegyzékbe sorolás szempontjából a 6.1. pontban foglalt táblázat A és B oszlopában található adatok irányadóak, a C és D oszlop adatai a vegyületek számítógépes kereshetőségét biztosítják.». The forms searched were nikotin, nicotine, in Hungarian orthography, with the accents stripped, and again over the text with every whitespace character removed so that a name broken across a line or a table cell could not read as an absence. The Hungarian form nikotin returns nothing. The Latin stem nicotin returns three rows and all three are nicotinyl opioid esters, «Nicomorphine (nikomorfin)» in the K1 jegyzék and «Nicocodine (nikokodin)» and «Nicodicodine (nikodikodin)» in the K2 jegyzék, which are opioid derivatives and not this molecule. Hungary regulates this substance through tobacco and retail law rather than through the jegyzékek, and that regime was not read here. This is silence and not an express exclusion: the decree says nothing about the substance at all. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. An absence is a statement about a list at a moment. This one is stated as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read, and no later.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. None of the drug penalties below reaches Nicotine through the jegyzékek, because they attach to the substances those jegyzékek name and this substance is not among them. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. No section 461 quantity value is stated for this row, because section 461 grades a quantity of kábítószer as section 459(1a) defines it, and this substance is not one of the entries that definition reaches. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Hungary's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled drug prescription question for Nicotine in Hungary under these jegyzékek, because none of the six carries it. Whether Nicotine is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. It is sold in Hungary as a tobacco product and as a non prescription cessation aid, and neither route runs through the rendelet. Treat the supply route as unread rather than as open. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry Nicotine as the Hungarian medicines and consumer regimes allow and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance off the jegyzékek is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for this row and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears in what was read here. No row is relied on for this cell, because none was found. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2022-78-20-0A on 21 September 2026 in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026.

The Criminal Code was read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2012-100-00-00 on 21 September 2026 in the consolidated text as in force on 26 August 2026, and that rendering stops at section 339, so sections 459(1a) and 461 were read instead in the Act that enacted them, 2025. évi XIX. törvény sections 26 and 27, at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2025-19-00-00.0. The Criminal Code page carries a footnote recording that section 461 is the text established by section 27 of that Act, so the two readings agree. On the instrument itself: the schedules are not in 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet.

Nimetazepam

Legal status: Controlled. Nimetazepam is a named entry of the P4 jegyzék carried in the 2. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 49 reads «Nimetazepam (nimetazepám)». Column C reads «1,3-dihydro-1-methyl-7-nitro-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one». Paragraph 4.2 of the P4 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok sztereoizomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their salts where those exist. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary Nimetazepam sits at row 49 of the P4 jegyzék of 78/2022, which section 459(1a) does not carry into the Criminal Code. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. No section 461 small quantity value follows from this row. Section 459(1a) carries the K1 and K2 jegyzékek, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek and the 3. melléklet into the Criminal Code and does not carry the P3 or the P4 jegyzék, so the graduated quantity scheme in section 461 has nothing to attach to here. The live Hungary cell recorded the same result for a P3 or P4 entry, and this pass re-derived it from the text of section 459(1a). No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Hungary's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for Nimetazepam in Hungary and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the placement: the P4 jegyzék is a controlled schedule of the rendelet, so supply is licensed, and it is outside the definition section 459(1a) carries into the Criminal Code. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. The row this cell relies on is row 49 of the P4 jegyzék. Treat the route as unread rather than as open, and do not read a P4 placement as permission to carry the substance across a border. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for Nimetazepam, and get the Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer, and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. The row relied on for this cell is row 49 of the P4 jegyzék. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2022-78-20-0A on 21 September 2026 in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026. Its section 1 puts the kábítószer jegyzékek in the 1. melléklet, the pszichotróp anyag jegyzékek in the 2. melléklet, «A 2. melléklet tartalmazza a pszichotróp anyagnak minősülő anyagok jegyzékeit.», and the új pszichoaktív anyag jegyzék in the 3. melléklet. The Criminal Code was read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2012-100-00-00 on 21 September 2026 in the consolidated text as in force on 26 August 2026, and that rendering stops at section 339, so sections 459(1a) and 461 were read instead in the Act that enacted them, 2025. évi XIX. törvény sections 26 and 27, at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2025-19-00-00.0. The Criminal Code page carries a footnote recording that section 461 is the text established by section 27 of that Act, so the two readings agree. On the instrument itself: the schedules are not in 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet. That decree survives as the activities, licensing and definitions instrument, its 1. melléklet was repealed by section 11 h) of 607/2022. (XII. 28.) Korm. rendelet, and 78/2022 has carried the jegyzékek since 1 January 2023.

Nitrous Oxide

Legal status: Not listed. Nitrous oxide is not a named entry of the K1 or K2 jegyzék in the 1. melléklet, of the P1, P2, P3 or P4 jegyzék in the 2. melléklet, or of the új pszichoaktív anyagok jegyzéke in the 3. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, and it is not named in any of the five structural descriptions at points 1 to 5 of that 3. melléklet either. Those five points and the numbered table at point 6 are the whole of the listing content of that melléklet: point 7 is a reading rule and not a further group, «A jegyzékbe sorolás szempontjából a 6.1. pontban foglalt táblázat A és B oszlopában található adatok irányadóak, a C és D oszlop adatai a vegyületek számítógépes kereshetőségét biztosítják.». The forms searched were dinitrogén-oxid, nitrogén-oxid, nitrous, kéjgáz, in Hungarian orthography, with the accents stripped, and again over the text with every whitespace character removed so that a name broken across a line or a table cell could not read as an absence. None of those forms returns a row or a paragraph, and the stem gáz returns nothing anywhere in the decree, so no gas of any kind is an entry. The only oxide rows are opioid and benzodiazepine derivatives, «Morphine-N-oxide (morfin-N-oxid)» at row 85 of the K1 jegyzék and «Chlordiazepoxide (klórdiazepoxid)» at row 12 of the P4 jegyzék, and neither is this substance. This is silence and not an express exclusion: the decree says nothing about the substance at all. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. An absence is a statement about a list at a moment. This one is stated as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read, and no later.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. None of the drug penalties below reaches Nitrous oxide through the jegyzékek, because they attach to the substances those jegyzékek name and this substance is not among them. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. No section 461 quantity value is stated for this row, because section 461 grades a quantity of kábítószer as section 459(1a) defines it, and this substance is not one of the entries that definition reaches. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Hungary's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled drug prescription question for Nitrous oxide in Hungary under these jegyzékek, because none of the six carries it. Whether Nitrous oxide is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. Medical nitrous oxide is a licensed medicinal gas in Hungary and the recreational product is sold outside that route, and neither question is settled by the jegyzékek. Treat the supply route as unread rather than as open. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry Nitrous oxide as the Hungarian medicines and consumer regimes allow and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance off the jegyzékek is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for this row and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears in what was read here. No row is relied on for this cell, because none was found. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.)

Opium

Legal status: Controlled. Opium is a named entry of the K1 jegyzék carried in the 1. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 95 reads «Opium (ópium)». Columns B to E are blank because the entry is botanical. The concentrate of poppy straw is a separate K1 row at 36, «Concentrate of poppy straw (mákszalma koncentrátum)», whose column C reads «A mákszalma alkaloid tartalmának dúsítására irányuló feldolgozás során nyert, kereskedelmi forgalmazásra szánt anyag.», and poppy straw itself is a separate entry at row 44 of the P2 jegyzék, «Poppy straw** (mákszalma)». The K3 jegyzék of excepted preparations carries compound opium or morphine medicines of up to 0.2 per cent morphine calculated on the anhydrous base. Paragraph 1.2 of the K1 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok izomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their esters, ethers and salts where those exist. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.)

The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary Opium sits at row 95 of the K1 jegyzék of 78/2022, and where a row sits is what decides whether the ordinary section 176 lane applies. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is not a printed weight. Section 461(4) covers a substance that sits on the K1 or K2 jegyzék of the 1. melléklet or the P1 or P2 jegyzék of the 2. melléklet and is not one of the substances section 461(1) or (2) names, and section 461(4)(a) makes the quantity small where the pure active ingredient content does not exceed seven times the average effective dose for a consumer who is not habituated, «csekély mennyiségű, ha annak tiszta hatóanyag-tartalma a hozzá nem szokott fogyasztó átlagos hatásos adagjának hétszeres mértékét nem haladja meg,». Section 461(4)(b) and (c) put the significant quantity at more than one hundred and forty times that dose and the particularly significant quantity at more than one thousand four hundred times it. The live Hungary cell printed the same rule for this row, in its own words: Seven times the average effective dose for a non-habituated user; Btk. §461(4)(a). This pass re-derived it from the text of the Act rather than carrying the figure forward. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for Opium in Hungary and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the placement: the row this cell relies on is inside the definition section 459(1a) carries into the Criminal Code, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. The K3 jegyzék of the 1. melléklet is the list of excepted preparations, and it is the part of the rendelet that carries medicinal forms of this family out of the ordinary regime on stated terms, so a medicine and a bulk substance are not the same question here. The row this cell relies on is row 95 of the K1 jegyzék. Do not read this row as a statement that Opium cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for Opium, and get the Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer, and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists.

Oxycodone

Legal status: Controlled. Oxycodone is a named entry of the K1 jegyzék carried in the 1. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 98 reads «Oxycodone (oxikodon)». Column C reads «14-hydroxydihydrocodeinone». Paragraph 1.2 of the K1 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok izomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their esters, ethers and salts where those exist. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary Oxycodone sits at row 98 of the K1 jegyzék of 78/2022, and where a row sits is what decides whether the ordinary section 176 lane applies. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is not a printed weight. Section 461(4) covers a substance that sits on the K1 or K2 jegyzék of the 1. melléklet or the P1 or P2 jegyzék of the 2. melléklet and is not one of the substances section 461(1) or (2) names, and section 461(4)(a) makes the quantity small where the pure active ingredient content does not exceed seven times the average effective dose for a consumer who is not habituated, «csekély mennyiségű, ha annak tiszta hatóanyag-tartalma a hozzá nem szokott fogyasztó átlagos hatásos adagjának hétszeres mértékét nem haladja meg,». Section 461(4)(b) and (c) put the significant quantity at more than one hundred and forty times that dose and the particularly significant quantity at more than one thousand four hundred times it. The live Hungary cell printed the same rule for this row, in its own words: Seven times the average effective dose for a non-habituated user; Btk. §461(4)(a). This pass re-derived it from the text of the Act rather than carrying the figure forward. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own.

PCP

Legal status: Controlled. PCP is a named entry of the P2 jegyzék carried in the 2. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 42 reads «Phencyclidine (fenciklidin)». The acronym asked for is in column B of the same row, «PCP», and column C reads «1-(1-phenylcyclohexyl)piperidine». Nine further rows carry the three letters inside longer names, among them «3-MeO-PCP**», «3-HO-PCP» and «pCPP», and none of them is phencyclidine. Paragraph 2.2 of the P2 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok sztereoizomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their salts where those exist. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.)

The forms searched were peyote, pejotl, Lophophora, kaktusz, in Hungarian orthography, with the accents stripped, and again over the text with every whitespace character removed so that a name broken across a line or a table cell could not read as an absence. Mescaline, the cactus alkaloid, is a named entry at row 80 of the P1 jegyzék, «Mescaline (meszkalin)», so a material proved to contain mescaline is reached through that row on its own terms. The cactus is a different question and the jegyzékek do not answer it. This is silence and not an express exclusion: the decree says nothing about the substance at all. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. An absence is a statement about a list at a moment. This one is stated as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read, and no later.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. None of the drug penalties below reaches Peyote through the jegyzékek, because they attach to the substances those jegyzékek name and this substance is not among them. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. No section 461 quantity value is stated for this row, because section 461 grades a quantity of kábítószer as section 459(1a) defines it, and this substance is not one of the entries that definition reaches. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Hungary's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled drug prescription question for Peyote in Hungary under these jegyzékek, because none of the six carries it. Whether Peyote is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. The cactus is sold in Hungary as an ornamental plant, and that is a horticultural question rather than a prescribing one. Treat the supply route as unread rather than as open. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry Peyote as the Hungarian medicines and consumer regimes allow and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance off the jegyzékek is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for this row and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears in what was read here. No row is relied on for this cell, because none was found. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2022-78-20-0A on 21 September 2026 in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026. Its section 1 puts the kábítószer jegyzékek in the 1. melléklet, the pszichotróp anyag jegyzékek in the 2. melléklet, «A 2. melléklet tartalmazza a pszichotróp anyagnak minősülő anyagok jegyzékeit.», and the új pszichoaktív anyag jegyzék in the 3. melléklet. The Criminal Code was read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2012-100-00-00 on 21 September 2026 in the consolidated text as in force on 26 August 2026, and that rendering stops at section 339, so sections 459(1a) and 461 were read instead in the Act that enacted them, 2025. évi XIX. törvény sections 26 and 27, at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2025-19-00-00.0. The Criminal Code page carries a footnote recording that section 461 is the text established by section 27 of that Act, so the two readings agree. On the instrument itself: the schedules are not in 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet. That decree survives as the activities, licensing and definitions instrument, its 1. melléklet was repealed by section 11 h) of 607/2022. (XII. 28.)

Phenibut

Legal status: Controlled. Phenibut is a named entry of the új pszichoaktív anyagok jegyzéke carried in the 3. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, at row 30 of the numbered table at point 6.1. Column A of that row reads «Phenibut». Column B reads «4-amino-3-phenylbutanoic acid». The 4-fluoro analogue is a separate row at 211. The row is printed in the Latin spelling and the Hungarian form fenibut returns nothing, so a search run only in Hungarian orthography misses it. Points 6.2 and 6.3 of that melléklet extend the entry to «az ebben a jegyzékben felsorolt anyagok sztereoizomerjei, ha kémiai szerkezetük alapján azok léteznek,» and to «az ebben a jegyzékben felsorolt anyagok sói, beleértve a 6.2. pontban említett sztereoizomerek sóit, ha ilyen sók léteznek.» Point 7 adds that for listing purposes columns A and B of the table govern and columns C and D are search aids, «A jegyzékbe sorolás szempontjából a 6.1. pontban foglalt táblázat A és B oszlopában található adatok irányadóak, a C és D oszlop adatai a vegyületek számítógépes kereshetőségét biztosítják.». The 3. melléklet applies by its own opening words only where the compound is not already on the other two, «ha azok az 1. és 2. melléklet szerinti jegyzékeken nem szerepelnek». Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary Phenibut sits at row 30 of the table at point 6.1 of the 3. melléklet of 78/2022, and where a row sits is what decides whether the ordinary section 176 lane applies. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is printed. Section 461(5)(f) sets the csekély mennyiség, the small quantity, at «6. pontja szerinti anyagok esetében a 2 gramm», which is 2 gramm of pure active ingredient for the substances at point 6 of the 3. melléklet. Section 461(6) puts the significant quantity at more than twenty times the upper limit of that small quantity and section 461(7) puts the particularly significant quantity at more than two hundred times it. Section 461(8) adds that for a compound occurring in salt form the pure active ingredient content means the content expressed as base, «E törvény alkalmazásában só formában előforduló vegyületek esetén tiszta hatóanyag-tartalom alatt a bázis formában megadott hatóanyag-tartalmat kell érteni.». The live Hungary cell printed the same rule for this row, in its own words: 2 g pure active ingredient for Annex 3 point 6 substances; Btk. §461(5)(f). This pass re-derived it from the text of the Act rather than carrying the figure forward. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for Phenibut in Hungary and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the placement: the row this cell relies on is inside the definition section 459(1a) carries into the Criminal Code, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. The row this cell relies on is row 30 of the table at point 6.1 of the 3. melléklet. Do not read this row as a statement that Phenibut cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for Phenibut, and get the Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer, and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. The row relied on for this cell is row 30 of the table at point 6.1 of the 3. melléklet. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2022-78-20-0A on 21 September 2026 in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026.

Pregabalin

Legal status: Not listed. Pregabalin is not a named entry of the K1 or K2 jegyzék in the 1. melléklet, of the P1, P2, P3 or P4 jegyzék in the 2. melléklet, or of the új pszichoaktív anyagok jegyzéke in the 3. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, and it is not named in any of the five structural descriptions at points 1 to 5 of that 3. melléklet either. Those five points and the numbered table at point 6 are the whole of the listing content of that melléklet: point 7 is a reading rule and not a further group, «A jegyzékbe sorolás szempontjából a 6.1. pontban foglalt táblázat A és B oszlopában található adatok irányadóak, a C és D oszlop adatai a vegyületek számítógépes kereshetőségét biztosítják.». The forms searched were pregabalin, pregabalinum, in Hungarian orthography, with the accents stripped, and again over the text with every whitespace character removed so that a name broken across a line or a table cell could not read as an absence. The string does return one row, «Pregabalin methyl ester» at row 212 of the table at point 6.1 of the 3. melléklet, whose column B reads «methyl 3-(aminomethyl)-5-methylhexanoate». That is the methyl ester and a different substance, and it was read rather than accepted as a match. The acid itself is not the subject of that row. This is silence and not an express exclusion: the decree says nothing about the substance at all. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. An absence is a statement about a list at a moment. This one is stated as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read, and no later.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. None of the drug penalties below reaches Pregabalin through the jegyzékek, because they attach to the substances those jegyzékek name and this substance is not among them. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. No section 461 quantity value is stated for this row, because section 461 grades a quantity of kábítószer as section 459(1a) defines it, and this substance is not one of the entries that definition reaches. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own.

If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled drug prescription question for Pregabalin in Hungary under these jegyzékek, because none of the six carries it. Whether Pregabalin is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK.

Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry Pregabalin as the Hungarian medicines and consumer regimes allow and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance off the jegyzékek is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for this row and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears in what was read here.

Psilocybin

Legal status: Controlled. Psilocybin is a named entry of the P1 jegyzék carried in the 2. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 106 reads «Psilocybine (pszilocibin)». Column C gives «3-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]indol-4-yl dihydrogen phosphate», which is the phosphate ester. Psilocin is a separate named entry at row 105 of the same jegyzék, «Psilocine (pszilocin)», and it carries its own figure of 0.2 gramm under section 461(1)(a)(ac). Paragraph 1.2 of the P1 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok sztereoizomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their salts where those exist. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary Psilocybin sits at row 106 of the P1 jegyzék of 78/2022, and where a row sits is what decides whether the ordinary section 176 lane applies. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is printed. Section 461(1)(a)(ab) sets the csekély mennyiség, the small quantity, at «pszilocibin esetén a 0,1 gramm,», which is 0.1 gramm of pure active ingredient expressed as base. Section 461(3) then puts the significant quantity at more than twenty times the upper limit of that small quantity and the particularly significant quantity at more than two hundred times it. Section 461(8) adds that for a compound occurring in salt form the pure active ingredient content means the content expressed as base, «E törvény alkalmazásában só formában előforduló vegyületek esetén tiszta hatóanyag-tartalom alatt a bázis formában megadott hatóanyag-tartalmat kell érteni.». The live Hungary cell printed the same rule for this row, in its own words: 0.1 g psilocybin base; Btk. §461(1)(a)(ab). This pass re-derived it from the text of the Act rather than carrying the figure forward. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for Psilocybin in Hungary and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the placement: the row this cell relies on is inside the definition section 459(1a) carries into the Criminal Code, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. The row this cell relies on is row 106 of the P1 jegyzék. Do not read this row as a statement that Psilocybin cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for Psilocybin, and get the Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer, and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. The row relied on for this cell is row 106 of the P1 jegyzék. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.)

Quetiapine

Legal status: Not listed. Quetiapine is not a named entry of the K1 or K2 jegyzék in the 1. melléklet, of the P1, P2, P3 or P4 jegyzék in the 2. melléklet, or of the új pszichoaktív anyagok jegyzéke in the 3. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, and it is not named in any of the five structural descriptions at points 1 to 5 of that 3. melléklet either. Those five points and the numbered table at point 6 are the whole of the listing content of that melléklet: point 7 is a reading rule and not a further group, «A jegyzékbe sorolás szempontjából a 6.1. pontban foglalt táblázat A és B oszlopában található adatok irányadóak, a C és D oszlop adatai a vegyületek számítógépes kereshetőségét biztosítják.». The forms searched were kvetiapin, quetiapine, in Hungarian orthography, with the accents stripped, and again over the text with every whitespace character removed so that a name broken across a line or a table cell could not read as an absence. Neither the Hungarian nor the Latin form returns a row or a paragraph. The decree does carry sedative and hypnotic entries with related ring systems, «Methaqualone (metakvalon)» at row 37 and «Mecloqualone (meklokvalon)» at row 34 of the P2 jegyzék, and they are a different family from this one. This is silence and not an express exclusion: the decree says nothing about the substance at all. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. An absence is a statement about a list at a moment. This one is stated as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read, and no later.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. None of the drug penalties below reaches Quetiapine through the jegyzékek, because they attach to the substances those jegyzékek name and this substance is not among them. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. No section 461 quantity value is stated for this row, because section 461 grades a quantity of kábítószer as section 459(1a) defines it, and this substance is not one of the entries that definition reaches. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Hungary's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled drug prescription question for Quetiapine in Hungary under these jegyzékek, because none of the six carries it. Whether Quetiapine is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. This substance is a prescription antipsychotic in Hungary, dispensed on an ordinary prescription rather than on the controlled drug forms the rendelet governs. Treat the supply route as unread rather than as open. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry Quetiapine as the Hungarian medicines and consumer regimes allow and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance off the jegyzékek is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for this row and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears in what was read here.

Salvia divinorum

Legal status: Controlled. The plant is not itself an entry, and it is not named in any of the six jegyzékek. The forms searched were Salvia, divinorum, szalvinorin and salvinorin, in Hungarian orthography, with the accents stripped, and again over the text with every whitespace character removed so that a name broken across a line or a table cell could not read as an absence. What is named is the plant's active diterpene, at row 108 of the P1 jegyzék, «Salvinorin A*** (Szalvinorin A)», whose column C gives the full stereochemical name «(2S,4aR,6aR,7R,9S,10aS,10bR)-9-(acetyloxy)-2-(3-furanyl)dodecahydro-6a,10b-dimethyl-4,10-dioxo-2H-naphtho[2,1-c]pyran-7-carboxylic acid methyl ester». Control is reached through that constituent, so a material is caught when salvinorin A is proved in it and the plant name on its own does not settle the question. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.)

Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary Salvia divinorum is reached through row 108 of the P1 jegyzék rather than through a row of its own, and where that row sits is what decides whether the ordinary section 176 lane applies.

Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is not a printed weight. Section 461(4) covers a substance that sits on the K1 or K2 jegyzék of the 1. melléklet or the P1 or P2 jegyzék of the 2. melléklet and is not one of the substances section 461(1) or (2) names, and section 461(4)(a) makes the quantity small where the pure active ingredient content does not exceed seven times the average effective dose for a consumer who is not habituated, «csekély mennyiségű, ha annak tiszta hatóanyag-tartalma a hozzá nem szokott fogyasztó átlagos hatásos adagjának hétszeres mértékét nem haladja meg,». Section 461(4)(b) and (c) put the significant quantity at more than one hundred and forty times that dose and the particularly significant quantity at more than one thousand four hundred times it. The live Hungary cell printed no quantity rule for this row, because it recorded the substance as outside the jegyzékek, and that reading is corrected here. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for Salvia divinorum in Hungary and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the placement: the row this cell relies on is inside the definition section 459(1a) carries into the Criminal Code, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. The row this cell relies on is row 108 of the P1 jegyzék. Do not read this row as a statement that Salvia divinorum cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for Salvia divinorum, and get the Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer, and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. The row relied on for this cell is row 108 of the P1 jegyzék. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2022-78-20-0A on 21 September 2026 in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026. Its section 1 puts the kábítószer jegyzékek in the 1. melléklet, the pszichotróp anyag jegyzékek in the 2. melléklet, «A 2. melléklet tartalmazza a pszichotróp anyagnak minősülő anyagok jegyzékeit.», and the új pszichoaktív anyag jegyzék in the 3. melléklet. The Criminal Code was read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2012-100-00-00 on 21 September 2026 in the consolidated text as in force on 26 August 2026, and that rendering stops at section 339, so sections 459(1a) and 461 were read instead in the Act that enacted them, 2025. évi XIX. törvény sections 26 and 27, at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2025-19-00-00.0. The Criminal Code page carries a footnote recording that section 461 is the text established by section 27 of that Act, so the two readings agree. On the instrument itself: the schedules are not in 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet. That decree survives as the activities, licensing and definitions instrument, its 1. melléklet was repealed by section 11 h) of 607/2022. (XII. 28.) Korm. rendelet, and 78/2022 has carried the jegyzékek since 1 January 2023. The dossier this lane was given recorded a search of section 1 and all three mellékletek with no entry found. That search record is incomplete for this row, and what it missed is set out in the legal status field above.

Hungary, Salvia divinorum, not itself a named entry, reached through a named entry or a structural description of 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról as the legal status field sets out · the entry or the search record is quoted in full in the legal status field and is not repeated here · the rendelet, consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026, read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2022-78-20-0A on 21 September 2026 · 2012. évi C. törvény a Büntető Törvénykönyvről, sections 176 to 180, read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2012-100-00-00 on 21 September 2026 · sections 459(1a) and 461 of that Act as established by sections 26 and 27 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2025-19-00-00.0 on 21 September 2026, because the Nemzeti Jogszabálytár rendering of the Criminal Code stops at section 339 · 66/2012.

Scopolamine (Devil's Breath)

Legal status: Not listed. Scopolamine is not a named entry of the K1 or K2 jegyzék in the 1. melléklet, of the P1, P2, P3 or P4 jegyzék in the 2. melléklet, or of the új pszichoaktív anyagok jegyzéke in the 3. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, and it is not named in any of the five structural descriptions at points 1 to 5 of that 3. melléklet either. Those five points and the numbered table at point 6 are the whole of the listing content of that melléklet: point 7 is a reading rule and not a further group, «A jegyzékbe sorolás szempontjából a 6.1. pontban foglalt táblázat A és B oszlopában található adatok irányadóak, a C és D oszlop adatai a vegyületek számítógépes kereshetőségét biztosítják.». The forms searched were szkopolamin, scopolamine, hioszcin, hyoscine, in Hungarian orthography, with the accents stripped, and again over the text with every whitespace character removed so that a name broken across a line or a table cell could not read as an absence. Neither the Hungarian nor the Latin form of either name returns a row or a paragraph. The tropane skeleton is in the decree: «Cocaine (kokain)» at row 34 of the K1 jegyzék and «pFBT*** (fluortropakokain)» at row 100 of the P1 jegyzék, whose column C reads «8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-3-yl 4-fluorobenzoate», are both tropanes. So the skeleton is listed while this alkaloid is not, and the absence is of the named molecule rather than of its chemical class. This is silence and not an express exclusion: the decree says nothing about the substance at all. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. An absence is a statement about a list at a moment. This one is stated as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read, and no later.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. None of the drug penalties below reaches Scopolamine through the jegyzékek, because they attach to the substances those jegyzékek name and this substance is not among them. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. No section 461 quantity value is stated for this row, because section 461 grades a quantity of kábítószer as section 459(1a) defines it, and this substance is not one of the entries that definition reaches. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Hungary's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled drug prescription question for Scopolamine in Hungary under these jegyzékek, because none of the six carries it. Whether Scopolamine is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. This substance is a prescription medicine in Hungary in its hyoscine forms, and it is also a natural constituent of several nightshade plants that the jegyzékek do not name. Treat the supply route as unread rather than as open. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry Scopolamine as the Hungarian medicines and consumer regimes allow and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance off the jegyzékek is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for this row and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears in what was read here. No row is relied on for this cell, because none was found. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2022-78-20-0A on 21 September 2026 in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026. Its section 1 puts the kábítószer jegyzékek in the 1. melléklet, the pszichotróp anyag jegyzékek in the 2. melléklet, «A 2. melléklet tartalmazza a pszichotróp anyagnak minősülő anyagok jegyzékeit.», and the új pszichoaktív anyag jegyzék in the 3. melléklet. The Criminal Code was read at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2012-100-00-00 on 21 September 2026 in the consolidated text as in force on 26 August 2026, and that rendering stops at section 339, so sections 459(1a) and 461 were read instead in the Act that enacted them, 2025. évi XIX. törvény sections 26 and 27, at https://njt.jog.gov.hu/jogszabaly/2025-19-00-00.0. The Criminal Code page carries a footnote recording that section 461 is the text established by section 27 of that Act, so the two readings agree.

THC-P

Legal status: Controlled. THC-P is a named entry of the új pszichoaktív anyagok jegyzéke carried in the 3. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, at row 337 of the numbered table at point 6.1. Column A of that row reads «tetrahydrocannabiphorol (THCP)». Column B reads «3-Heptyl-6a,7,8,10a-tetrahydro- 6,6,9-trimethyl-6H-dibenzo[b,d]pyran-1-ol». The delta-8 isomer is a separate row at 347, «delta-8-THCP», and the acetate, the butanoate and the methylcarbonate are three further rows at 362, 387 and 403. Points 6.2 and 6.3 of that melléklet extend the entry to «az ebben a jegyzékben felsorolt anyagok sztereoizomerjei, ha kémiai szerkezetük alapján azok léteznek,» and to «az ebben a jegyzékben felsorolt anyagok sói, beleértve a 6.2. pontban említett sztereoizomerek sóit, ha ilyen sók léteznek.» Point 7 adds that for listing purposes columns A and B of the table govern and columns C and D are search aids, «A jegyzékbe sorolás szempontjából a 6.1. pontban foglalt táblázat A és B oszlopában található adatok irányadóak, a C és D oszlop adatai a vegyületek számítógépes kereshetőségét biztosítják.». The 3. melléklet applies by its own opening words only where the compound is not already on the other two, «ha azok az 1. és 2. melléklet szerinti jegyzékeken nem szerepelnek». Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary THC-P sits at row 337 of the table at point 6.1 of the 3. melléklet of 78/2022, and where a row sits is what decides whether the ordinary section 176 lane applies. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is printed. Section 461(5)(f) sets the csekély mennyiség, the small quantity, at «6. pontja szerinti anyagok esetében a 2 gramm», which is 2 gramm of pure active ingredient for the substances at point 6 of the 3. melléklet. Section 461(6) puts the significant quantity at more than twenty times the upper limit of that small quantity and section 461(7) puts the particularly significant quantity at more than two hundred times it. Section 461(8) adds that for a compound occurring in salt form the pure active ingredient content means the content expressed as base, «E törvény alkalmazásában só formában előforduló vegyületek esetén tiszta hatóanyag-tartalom alatt a bázis formában megadott hatóanyag-tartalmat kell érteni.». The live Hungary cell printed the same rule for this row, in its own words: 2 g pure active ingredient for Annex 3 point 6 substances; Btk. §461(5)(f). This pass re-derived it from the text of the Act rather than carrying the figure forward. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for THC-P in Hungary and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the placement: the row this cell relies on is inside the definition section 459(1a) carries into the Criminal Code, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.)

Tobacco

Legal status: Not listed. Tobacco is not a named entry of the K1 or K2 jegyzék in the 1. melléklet, of the P1, P2, P3 or P4 jegyzék in the 2. melléklet, or of the új pszichoaktív anyagok jegyzéke in the 3. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, and it is not named in any of the five structural descriptions at points 1 to 5 of that 3. melléklet either. Those five points and the numbered table at point 6 are the whole of the listing content of that melléklet: point 7 is a reading rule and not a further group, «A jegyzékbe sorolás szempontjából a 6.1. pontban foglalt táblázat A és B oszlopában található adatok irányadóak, a C és D oszlop adatai a vegyületek számítógépes kereshetőségét biztosítják.». The forms searched were dohány, tobacco, Nicotiana, in Hungarian orthography, with the accents stripped, and again over the text with every whitespace character removed so that a name broken across a line or a table cell could not read as an absence. None of those forms returns a row or a paragraph. The plant's principal alkaloid is not an entry either, and the two rows were resolved together on the same reading: the Hungarian form nikotin returns nothing and the Latin stem returns only three nicotinyl opioid esters. Hungary regulates the plant through tobacco, excise and retail law rather than through the jegyzékek, and that regime was not read here. This is silence and not an express exclusion: the decree says nothing about the substance at all. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. An absence is a statement about a list at a moment. This one is stated as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, in the consolidated text as in force on 29 June 2026, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read, and no later.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. None of the drug penalties below reaches Tobacco through the jegyzékek, because they attach to the substances those jegyzékek name and this substance is not among them. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. No section 461 quantity value is stated for this row, because section 461 grades a quantity of kábítószer as section 459(1a) defines it, and this substance is not one of the entries that definition reaches. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Hungary's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled drug prescription question for Tobacco in Hungary under these jegyzékek, because none of the six carries it. Whether Tobacco is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. The plant is sold through a state controlled retail channel in Hungary, which is a different regime from the one this row reads. Treat the supply route as unread rather than as open. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry Tobacco as the Hungarian medicines and consumer regimes allow and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance off the jegyzékek is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for this row and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears in what was read here. No row is relied on for this cell, because none was found. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.)

Tramadol

Legal status: Not listed. Tramadol is not a named entry of the K1 or K2 jegyzék in the 1. melléklet, of the P1, P2, P3 or P4 jegyzék in the 2. melléklet, or of the új pszichoaktív anyagok jegyzéke in the 3. melléklet to 78/2022.

The forms searched were tramadol, tramadolum, in Hungarian orthography, with the accents stripped, and again over the text with every whitespace character removed so that a name broken across a line or a table cell could not read as an absence. The string does return one row, «ODT*** (O-dezmetiltramadol)» at row 96 of the P1 jegyzék, whose column B reads «O-desmethyltramadol» and whose column C reads «3-{2-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-1-hydroxycyclohexyl}phenol». That is the O-desmethyl metabolite and a different substance, and it was read rather than accepted as a match. The parent is not the subject of that row. This is silence and not an express exclusion: the decree says nothing about the substance at all. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three.

Xanax (Alprazolam)

Legal status: Controlled. Alprazolam is a named entry of the P4 jegyzék carried in the 2. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 3 reads «Alprazolam (alprazolám)». Column C reads «8-chloro-1-methyl-6-phenyl-4H-s-triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]benzodiazepine». Flualprazolam is a separate P4 row at 30 and two further derivatives are rows 63 and 338 of the table at point 6.1 of the 3. melléklet, and those two sit inside the Criminal Code reference where this row does not. Paragraph 4.2 of the P4 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok sztereoizomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their salts where those exist. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three.

Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here.

Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. No section 461 small quantity value follows from this row. Section 459(1a) carries the K1 and K2 jegyzékek, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek and the 3. melléklet into the Criminal Code and does not carry the P3 or the P4 jegyzék, so the graduated quantity scheme in section 461 has nothing to attach to here. The live Hungary cell recorded the same result for a P3 or P4 entry, and this pass re-derived it from the text of section 459(1a). No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and this row is placed outside that regime, so they are recorded as Hungary's published drug penalties and not as this substance's exposure.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for Alprazolam in Hungary and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the placement: the P4 jegyzék is a controlled schedule of the rendelet, so supply is licensed, and it is outside the definition section 459(1a) carries into the Criminal Code. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. The row this cell relies on is row 3 of the P4 jegyzék. Treat the route as unread rather than as open, and do not read a P4 placement as permission to carry the substance across a border. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for Alprazolam, and get the Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer, and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. The row relied on for this cell is row 3 of the P4 jegyzék. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.)

Xylazine

Legal status: Controlled. Xylazine is a named entry of the új pszichoaktív anyagok jegyzéke carried in the 3. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról, at row 213 of the numbered table at point 6.1. Column A of that row reads «Xylazine». Column B reads «N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-5,6-dihydro-4H-1,3-thiazin-2-amine», which is this molecule and nothing else. The row is printed in the Latin spelling: the Hungarian form xilazin returns nothing anywhere in the decree, so a search run only in Hungarian orthography misses it. That is what happened upstream of this pass, and the correction is recorded in the documentation field. Points 6.2 and 6.3 of that melléklet extend the entry to «az ebben a jegyzékben felsorolt anyagok sztereoizomerjei, ha kémiai szerkezetük alapján azok léteznek,» and to «az ebben a jegyzékben felsorolt anyagok sói, beleértve a 6.2. pontban említett sztereoizomerek sóit, ha ilyen sók léteznek.» Point 7 adds that for listing purposes columns A and B of the table govern and columns C and D are search aids, «A jegyzékbe sorolás szempontjából a 6.1. pontban foglalt táblázat A és B oszlopában található adatok irányadóak, a C és D oszlop adatai a vegyületek számítógépes kereshetőségét biztosítják.». The 3. melléklet applies by its own opening words only where the compound is not already on the other two, «ha azok az 1. és 2. melléklet szerinti jegyzékeken nem szerepelnek». Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet 1. mellékletében a kábítószerek 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, 2. mellékletében a pszichotróp anyagok 1. vagy 2. jegyzékén szereplő anyag, valamint 3. mellékletében meghatározott anyag.», so the K1 and K2 jegyzékek of the 1. melléklet, the P1 and P2 jegyzékek of the 2. melléklet and the whole of the 3. melléklet are inside the Criminal Code definition and the P3 and P4 jegyzékek are not. The P3 and P4 jegyzékek remain controlled schedules of the rendelet, and an entry there alone does not place a substance in the ordinary section 176 trafficking lane. This is read from the consolidated text of the rendelet as in force on 29 June 2026, as those lists stand after the amendment made by 1/2026. (VI. 19.) EÜM rendelet, which is the last amendment reflected in the text that was read.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Hungary has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, and that is the ceiling here. In Hungary Xylazine sits at row 213 of the table at point 6.1 of the 3. melléklet of 78/2022, and where a row sits is what decides whether the ordinary section 176 lane applies. Criminal Code section 176(1) makes offering, handing over, putting into circulation or trading in a drug a bűntett punishable by two to eight years, «Aki kábítószert kínál, átad, forgalomba hoz, vagy azzal kereskedik, bűntett miatt két évtől nyolc évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 176(3) raises that to five years to twenty years or life imprisonment where the offence is committed in respect of a significant quantity, «A büntetés öt évtől húsz évig terjedő vagy életfogytig tartó szabadságvesztés, ha a bűncselekményt jelentős mennyiségű kábítószerre követik el.». The live Hungary cell recorded the life ceiling under section 176(3) and this pass re-derived the same provision from the Act and adds the five to twenty year band printed beside it. Section 178(6) makes consuming a drug, and acquiring, holding or ordering for import a small quantity for consumption, a vétség punishable by up to two years, «Aki kábítószert fogyaszt, illetve csekély mennyiségű kábítószert fogyasztás céljából megszerez, tart vagy az ország területére történő behozatal céljából megrendel, ha súlyosabb bűncselekmény nem valósul meg, vétség miatt két évig terjedő szabadságvesztéssel büntetendő.». Section 180(1) is a conditional non punishment route and not a numerical decriminalisation rule: it requires the offender to admit the offence, «a bűncselekmény elkövetését beismeri,», to prove by document before the first instance decision at least six months of continuous treatment for dependence, other care for drug use or a preventive and informative service, «az elsőfokú ügydöntő határozat meghozataláig okirattal igazolja, hogy legalább hat hónapig folyamatos, kábítószer-függőséget gyógyító kezelésben, kábítószer-használatot kezelő más ellátásban részesült, vagy megelőző-felvilágosító szolgáltatáson vett részt, és», and to disclose the circumstances and enable the seller to be identified before the indictment, «a vádemelésig az elkövetés körülményeit feltárja, illetve lehetővé teszi a kábítószert értékesítő személy kilétének a megállapítását.». The live Hungary cell recorded those three conditions and this pass re-derived them from the Act. Section 180(2) closes that route where within the preceding two years the proceedings were suspended on that ground or the offender was held liable for drug trafficking or drug possession, and section 180(2a) closes it where the offender has already taken it twice, «Az (1) bekezdés nem alkalmazható akkor sem, ha az elkövető az (1) bekezdés b) pontja szerinti lehetőséget már két alkalommal igénybe vette.». Section 461 supplies the quantity definitions that grade the offence, so a quantity figure in Hungary selects the band rather than creating a lawful allowance. The quantity rule for this row is printed. Section 461(5)(f) sets the csekély mennyiség, the small quantity, at «6. pontja szerinti anyagok esetében a 2 gramm», which is 2 gramm of pure active ingredient for the substances at point 6 of the 3. melléklet. Section 461(6) puts the significant quantity at more than twenty times the upper limit of that small quantity and section 461(7) puts the particularly significant quantity at more than two hundred times it. Section 461(8) adds that for a compound occurring in salt form the pure active ingredient content means the content expressed as base, «E törvény alkalmazásában só formában előforduló vegyületek esetén tiszta hatóanyag-tartalom alatt a bázis formában megadott hatóanyag-tartalmat kell érteni.». The live Hungary cell printed no quantity rule for this row, because it recorded the substance as outside the jegyzékek, and that reading is corrected here. No fine figure attaches to any of those provisions in the text read: the Criminal Code states them as custodial bands and the rendelet states no penalty of its own. Those are Criminal Code provisions rather than rendelet provisions, and they describe the offences that this row's placement brings into play.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for Xylazine in Hungary and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the placement: the row this cell relies on is inside the definition section 459(1a) carries into the Criminal Code, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Hungarian medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition is the body that states them, and the reporting and licensing forms in the mellékletek to 66/2012. (IV. 2.) Korm. rendelet are headed with its Hungarian abbreviation, NNGYK. The row this cell relies on is row 213 of the table at point 6.1 of the 3. melléklet. Do not read this row as a statement that Xylazine cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for Xylazine, and get the Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer, and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for this substance appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. The row relied on for this cell is row 213 of the table at point 6.1 of the 3. melléklet. Provenance follows. The controlling text is 78/2022. (XII. 28.)

The dossier this lane was given recorded that a search of section 1 and all three mellékletek found no entry for this substance. That is false: row 213 of the table at point 6.1 of the 3. melléklet is the entry, printed in the Latin spelling, and the live Hungary cell carried the dossier error forward as a completed negative finding.

Zolpidem

Legal status: Controlled. Zolpidem is a named entry of the P4 jegyzék carried in the 2. melléklet to 78/2022. (XII. 28.) BM rendelet az ellenőrzött anyagokról. Column A of row 67 reads «Zolpidem (zolpidem)». Column C reads «N,N,6-trimethyl-2-p-tolylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-acetamide». N-ethyl zolpidem is row 314 of the table at point 6.1 of the 3. melléklet and is a different molecule. Paragraph 4.2 of the P4 jegyzék extends the entry to «a fenti anyagok sztereoizomerjei, ha azok a feltüntetett kémiai névnek megfelelnek», and to their salts where those exist. Hungary carries the list outside the Act: the Criminal Code names no substance and the delegated rendelet carries the jegyzékek, which is the outward reference model and the second of the three. Section 459(1a) of the Criminal Code, 2012. évi C. törvény, inserted by section 26 of 2025. évi XIX. törvény, reads «E törvény alkalmazásában kábítószer a 78/2022. (XII. 28.)
