Confirmed legal status

Adderall

Legal status: Controlled psychotropic. Adderall is mixed amphetamine salts with no separate Jordanian legal identity; it is reached through the amfetamine and dexamfetamine entries of Schedule II of the 1971 Convention, implemented domestically by the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Law No. 23 of 2016 (amended 2021). Jordan's legislation bureau, Food and Drug Administration and Ministry of Health hosts were all unreachable during this pass, so no Jordanian primary text is quoted.
Consequences if caught: NOT CONFIRMED from a primary source. The narrow-capital description previously carried here rested on an NGO overview and is withdrawn pending a reachable text of Law No. 23 of 2016.
If prescribed / medical: Effectively unavailable. Jordan's 2026 INCB dexamfetamine assessment is 10 g and its amfetamine assessment is 6 g, in a 28-substance return that assesses methylphenidate at 25,000 g. Jordan supplies ADHD treatment through methylphenidate, not through amphetamine salts: an Adderall prescription is very unlikely to be fillable there.
Documentation: Travellers on Adderall should plan around Jordan's methylphenidate-based supply and confirm import rules before travel.

Alcohol

Legal status: Legal / licensed — alcohol (ethanol) is a licensed, age-regulated beverage (minimum age 18), not a controlled drug; sold in licensed shops, hotels and restaurants.
Consequences if caught: No penalty for licensed adult consumption; public intoxication is an offence and sales are restricted during Ramadan.
If prescribed / medical: n/a — a beverage, not a medicine.
Documentation: Bought at licensed liquor stores, hotels and restaurants on proof of age; no permit required for travellers within duty limits.

Amphetamine

Legal status: Controlled psychotropic. Amphetamine is a Schedule II substance under the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances, and Jordan files annual assessments with INCB accordingly. The domestic statute is the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Law No. 23 of 2016 (amended 2021); Jordan's official legislation bureau (gbd.gov.jo), the Jordan Food and Drug Administration (jfda.jo) and the Ministry of Health (moh.gov.jo) were all unreachable during this pass, so the schedule entry is not quoted from a Jordanian primary text.
Consequences if caught: NOT CONFIRMED from a primary source. The narrow-capital description previously carried here rested on an NGO overview rather than the statute, and has been withdrawn pending a reachable text of Law No. 23 of 2016.
If prescribed / medical: Assessed only at a token level - amphetamine is effectively not dispensed in Jordan. Jordan furnished INCB an amfetamine assessment of 6 g and a dexamfetamine assessment of 10 g for 2026, inside a 28-substance return that assesses methylphenidate at 25,000 g and diazepam at 40,000 g. A single-digit gram figure against that return is a registration formality, not a supply. Do not expect to fill an amphetamine prescription in Jordan.
Documentation: Jordan's regulator publishes the narcotics law and its controlled-medicine rules, but none of its hosts answered during this pass. Carry the prescription and original packaging and confirm before travel.

Barbiturates

Legal status: Barbiturates are scheduled psychotropic prescription medicines under Jordan's Drug Law No. 11 of 1988 (as amended by Law No. 54 of 2006) — a prescription-controlled class transposing the 1971 Convention.
Consequences if caught: Trafficking can draw up to life; simple possession is lower. Law 54/2006 replaced the death penalty with life for drug offences; any residual capital exposure is limited to aggravated international-operation trafficking, not tied to a substance tier — barbiturates are not death-eligible by class.
If prescribed / medical: Phenobarbital is dispensed as a scheduled antiepileptic (a WHO Essential Medicine); the sedative-hypnotic barbiturates are tightly controlled.
Documentation: Carry a prescription and original packaging; declare controlled medicines.

Buprenorphine

Legal status: Buprenorphine is a controlled narcotic under Jordan's Narcotic Drugs & Psychotropic Substances Law No. 23 of 2016 and is used in opioid-substitution treatment — a lighter tier than methadone; ordinary opioid offences are non-capital.
Consequences if caught: Ordinary opioid trafficking draws up to life imprisonment, NOT death — capital is reserved narrowly for collaborating with international trafficking gangs; prescribed/personal buprenorphine is non-capital.
If prescribed / medical: Dispensed as a controlled prescription medicine, used for OST, with prior JFDA approval.
Documentation: JFDA prior approval to import narcotic medicines; carry prescription documentation.

Consequences if caught: Cannabis is prohibited in Jordan under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act No. 23 of 2016.

Documentation: In Jordan (Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act No. 23 of 2016), general trafficking draws 1–12 years, rising to up to 25 years in aggravating circumstances; possession for personal use (a small or first-time amount) draws about 3 months–2 years plus a 1,000–3,000 JOD fine.

Cathinone

Legal status: Illegal — cathinone (khat's natural principal alkaloid) is a 1971 Convention SCHEDULE I psychotropic and is caught by Jordan's Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Law, which incorporates the 1971 additions. Mechanism: 1971 Sch-I transposition, named. As the parent compound it is DISTINCT from the khat PLANT (Catha edulis, separately banned to sell/possess) and from the synthetic cathinones (mephedrone etc.) that derive from it; cathinone is the named Sch-I alkaloid, cathine the milder metabolite (1971 Schedule III). No capital in practice — Jordan retains the death penalty generally but does not impose it for ordinary drug offences.
Consequences if caught: Controlled substance: custodial penalties for the alkaloid, not capital for ordinary drug offences.
If prescribed / medical: 1971 Schedule I substance with no accepted medical use and no lawful prescription route for the isolated alkaloid.
Documentation: No licit personal-import route for a controlled substance.

CBD

Legal status: CBD (cannabidiol) is controlled as cannabis under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Law No. 23 of 2016 — no distinction between CBD and cannabis and no THC threshold; recreational and medicinal use are both illegal for the public.
Consequences if caught: Personal possession carries about 1-3 years plus fines (JOD 1,000-3,000), and mail/import is intercepted; the death penalty for collaborating with international trafficking organisations leaves CBD-specific personal exposure to confirmation.
If prescribed / medical: There is no public CBD route; the JFDA regulates controlled medicines.
Documentation: No documentation legalises public CBD use — controlled as cannabis; the JFDA regulates controlled medicines.

Crack Cocaine

Legal status: Crack is the freebase (base) form of cocaine and has no separate legal identity in Jordan: it is controlled AS cocaine under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act No. 23 of 2016, whose schedule covers cocaine, its salts and preparations and thus reaches the base/freebase form.

Consequences if caught: Trafficking crack (as cocaine) carries 1-12 years (up to 25 in aggravated cases); possession/personal use draws roughly 3 months to imprisonment plus fines.

Hydrocodone

Legal status: Controlled narcotic. Hydrocodone is a 1961 Single Convention Schedule I opioid and Jordan furnishes annual estimates to INCB under it. The domestic statute is the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Law No. 23 of 2016; no Jordanian host serving that text responded during this pass.
Consequences if caught: NOT CONFIRMED from a primary source. The life-not-death description previously carried here rested on an NGO overview rather than Law No. 23 of 2016. Jordan's legislation bureau (gbd.gov.jo), Food and Drug Administration (jfda.jo) and Ministry of Health (moh.gov.jo) were all unreachable during this pass.
If prescribed / medical: Effectively unavailable, and now sourced rather than asserted: Jordan's INCB estimated requirement for hydrocodone for 2026 is 2 g. Against a 17-substance return that plans 85,000 g of morphine and 3,500 g of oxycodone, a two-gram estimate is a registration formality, not a supply. Jordan treats pain with morphine and oxycodone; hydrocodone is not part of that formulary in practice.

Modafinil

Legal status: Prescription-only medicine (JFDA) under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Law 23/2016 — not a scheduled narcotic.
Consequences if caught: Possession/use: fines, imprisonment or treatment referral; no capital exposure (the narrow death penalty is for international-gang narcotic trafficking, not a prescription medicine).
If prescribed / medical: Carry the prescription.
Documentation: In Jordan (Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act No. 23 of 2016), general trafficking draws 1–12 years, rising to up to 25 years in aggravating circumstances; possession for personal use (a small or first-time amount) draws about 3 months–2 years plus a 1,000–3,000 JOD fine. There is no medical cannabis. [retained for the international-gang offence; executions rare] The death penalty is NARROW — reserved for the crime of collaborating with international gangs dealing in narcotics; a 2006 amendment to the prior 1988 law had already reduced the general drug-crime death penalty to life. Do not expect a general-trafficking death penalty. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

Modafinil in Jordan, full detail →

Morphine

Legal status: Controlled narcotic. Morphine is a Schedule I substance under the 1961 Single Convention and Jordan furnishes annual narcotic estimates to INCB under it. The domestic statute is the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Law No. 23 of 2016; no Jordanian host serving that text responded during this pass.
Consequences if caught: NOT CONFIRMED from a primary source. The life-not-death description previously carried here rested on an NGO overview rather than Law No. 23 of 2016. Jordan's legislation bureau (gbd.gov.jo), Food and Drug Administration (jfda.jo) and Ministry of Health (moh.gov.jo) were all unreachable during this pass.
If prescribed / medical: Available on prescription, and comfortably so. Jordan's INCB estimated requirement of morphine for 2026 is 85,000 g - by far the largest opioid figure in its 17-substance narcotic return, and about thirty-four times Kuwait's. Morphine for severe and cancer pain is a normal part of Jordanian practice.
Documentation: Prior approval is required to import narcotic medicines. Carry the prescription and original packaging.

Oxycodone

Legal status: Controlled narcotic. Oxycodone is a 1961 Single Convention Schedule I opioid and Jordan furnishes annual estimates to INCB under it. The domestic statute is the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Law No. 23 of 2016; no Jordanian host serving that text responded during this pass.
Consequences if caught: NOT CONFIRMED from a primary source. The life-not-death description previously carried here rested on an NGO overview rather than Law No. 23 of 2016. Jordan's legislation bureau (gbd.gov.jo), Food and Drug Administration (jfda.jo) and Ministry of Health (moh.gov.jo) were all unreachable during this pass.
If prescribed / medical: Dispensed on prescription as a controlled narcotic. Jordan's 2026 INCB estimated requirement for oxycodone is 3,500 g, alongside morphine at 85,000 g and methadone at 1,600 g - a settled, if morphine-dominated, opioid formulary.
Documentation: Prior approval is required to import narcotic medicines. Carry the prescription and original packaging.

Pink Cocaine / Tusi

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — Jordan controls both MDMA and ketamine under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Law No. 23 of 2016 (amended 2021), which reaches any preparation containing a controlled substance. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled detected component.
Consequences if caught: General trafficking of an MDMA- or ketamine-containing mixture draws 1–12 years (up to 25 for aggravated cases) with possession/use lesser offences; the most serious aggravated trafficking can be capital-eligible.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of the mixture; ketamine is a controlled medicine used as an anaesthetic, while MDMA has no accepted medical use.
Documentation: Sold as a party powder of unknown makeup; because the blend varies batch to batch, buyers cannot know its constituents, so legal exposure under Law No. 23 of 2016 is unknowable at purchase.

Pregabalin

Legal status: Pregabalin is a restricted controlled prescription medicine in Jordan — the Jordan Food and Drug Administration (JFDA) placed pregabalin-containing products on its restricted-dispensing list (from 2014) after documented diversion and abuse, so it may be sold only against a medical prescription rather than freely over the counter.
Consequences if caught: Unprescribed pregabalin is treated as a restricted controlled medicine and is prosecuted; it is a documented drug of abuse and diversion in Jordan.
If prescribed / medical: Dispensed as a restricted prescription medicine under JFDA control.
Documentation: Carry only prescribed quantities with documentation (prescription and doctor's letter).

Synthetic Cannabinoids (K2 / Spice)

Legal status: Controlled. Synthetic cannabinoids fall under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act No. 23 of 2016, which schedules controlled substances and incorporates the synthetic cannabinoids added to Schedule II of the 1971 Convention. This class is not typically capital in Jordan: trafficking carries 1-12 years (up to 25 aggravated) rather than a mandatory death penalty.
Consequences if caught: Illegal; trafficking carries 1-12 years (up to 25 aggravated), possession/personal use a lesser term plus fine. Do not carry.
If prescribed / medical: These synthetic cannabinoids have no recognised medical use and no lawful prescription route in Jordan.
Documentation: No lawful personal-import route for controlled synthetic cannabinoids; do not carry.

Tramadol

Legal status: Tramadol is placed under national control in Jordan by the JFDA (named among countries controlling tramadol per INCB Alert 7, 2018) as a controlled prescription medicine; its specific JFDA schedule table is left to confirmation, and while Jordan retains the death penalty for aggravated narcotics trafficking, a tramadol-specific capital tier is left to confirmation.
Consequences if caught: Unprescribed tramadol is treated as a controlled medicine and is prosecuted; the tramadol-specific capital tier is left to confirmation.
If prescribed / medical: PRESCRIPTION AVAILABILITY NOT CONFIRMED. Tramadol sits outside the 1961 and 1971 Convention schedules, so no INCB estimate or assessment covers it. The Jordan Food and Drug Administration publishes consolidated narcotic, psychotropic and precursor schedule tables (edition dated 7 October 2025), but jfda.jo did not respond on either host (connection timed out), so the JFDA listing could not be read. The control status above is what is established; tramadol's Jordanian prescription status is not confirmed here.
Documentation: Carry only prescribed quantities with documentation (prescription and doctor's letter).

Xanax (Alprazolam)

Legal status: Alprazolam is a scheduled psychotropic prescription medicine under Jordan's Drug Law No. 11 of 1988 (as amended by Law No. 54 of 2006).
Consequences if caught: Trafficking can draw up to life; simple possession is lower. Law 54/2006 replaced the death penalty with life for drug offences; any residual capital exposure is limited to aggravated international-operation trafficking, not tied to a substance tier — benzodiazepines are not death-eligible by class.
If prescribed / medical: Available as medicine: Jordan's INCB assessed annual medical and scientific requirement for alprazolam for 2026 is 10,000 g (assessments as at 21 August 2026, submitted by Jordan). It is dispensed as a scheduled psychotropic prescription medicine. Jordan's INCB traveller-regulation sheet (2025) is a scanned image whose terms could not be read here — confirm carry limits with the Jordan Food and Drug Administration.
Documentation: Carry a prescription and original packaging; declare controlled medicines.
