Confirmed legal status

2-FDCK

Legal status: 2-FDCK is not named in Kazakhstan's controlled list, and the route that reaches it is the analogue rule rather than an entry of its own. Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves three documents and the third of them is the Список заместителей атомов водорода, галогенов и (или) гидроксильных групп в структурных формулах наркотических средств, психотропных веществ, a list of 82 live monovalent and 15 live divalent substituents, the monovalent keys running 1.1 to 1.75 with seven inserted at 1.2-1, 1.2-2, 1.2-3, 1.2-4, 1.43-1, 1.49-1 and 1.55-1, and 2.16 repealed. Each table of the Список closes with a line extending it to analogues of the substances in that section, and the Сводная таблица states that the sizes for an analogue are the sizes of the substance it is an analogue of. The parent entry here is Кетамин at item 67 of Таблица III section В, whose sizes are no небольшой band, крупный from 0 to 0,01 grams and особо крупный above 0,01 grams. 2-FDCK differs from the listed ketamine by a fluorine in place of the chlorine on the aromatic ring, one halogen for another. The substituent relied on is фтор, fluorine, item 1.57 of the substituent list. [Certain] that the parent entry, its sizes and the substituent all appear as described, all three re-derived from the instrument in this pass. [Likely] that the analogue rule reaches 2-FDCK, because applying it is a chemical judgement that an expert report makes in the individual case and not something the text performs by itself. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, and a later amendment adding this substance by name is not ruled out. The list read for this row is the Список approved by Postanovlenie Pravitelstva Respubliki Kazakhstan No. 470, in the redaction of 24 February 2026 No. 111, which the copy read states at its own Snoska and in its metadata panel. [Likely] No later redaction was read in this pass, so a subsequent one naming this substance outright is not ruled out and this absence is stated as at that version rather than as at today, and it does not rule out a later redaction.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. The penalty ladder is read off those sizes. Possession without intent to supply sits in Criminal Code Article 296, which is non-custodial at parts 2 and 3, a fine of up to 160 or up to 200 monthly calculation indices or arrest of up to 40 or 50 days, and becomes custodial only at part 4, three to seven years, once the seizure is особо крупный. Consumption in a public place is part 1 of the same article. Supply runs under Article 297 at five to eight years with confiscation for the bare offence and fifteen to twenty years for its heaviest part, and manufacture or processing for supply under Article 297-1, added on 2 January 2025 by law No. 150-VIII, carries life imprisonment at part 4. The size band that decides all of this comes from the parent entry, Кетамин, whose figures are no небольшой band, крупный from 0 to 0,01 grams and особо крупный above 0,01 grams, because the Сводная таблица assigns an analogue the sizes of the substance it is an analogue of. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears. [Likely] Carried from the entry published before this batch and not re-derived in this pass: the two middle rungs of that ladder are six to ten years for part 2 and seven to twelve years for part 3.
If prescribed / medical: The Resolution gives 2-FDCK no entry of its own, so it gives it no prescribing route either. The parent entry sits in a schedule that does carry a medical characterisation, but an analogue is reached for the purposes of control and seizure sizes rather than being placed in a schedule with a medical status, so nothing here creates a prescription route for 2-FDCK and a foreign prescription would not supply one.
Documentation: Provenance. The parent entry, its size row and the substituent list were all read from the consolidated text of Government Resolution of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approving the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан and the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes at https://zakon.uchet.kz/rus/docs/P1900000470 on 2026-09-21, with the tables parsed by column position so that a blank небольшой размер cell is read as blank.

Russian names are quoted as the instrument prints them, with the Список entries put into ordinary case because the list prints them in capitals.

25I-NBOMe

Legal status: 25I-NBOMe is not named in Kazakhstan's controlled list, and the route that reaches it is the analogue rule rather than an entry of its own. Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves three documents and the third of them is the Список заместителей атомов водорода, галогенов и (или) гидроксильных групп в структурных формулах наркотических средств, психотропных веществ, a list of 82 live monovalent and 15 live divalent substituents, the monovalent keys running 1.1 to 1.75 with seven inserted at 1.2-1, 1.2-2, 1.2-3, 1.2-4, 1.43-1, 1.49-1 and 1.55-1, and 2.16 repealed. Each table of the Список closes with a line extending it to analogues of the substances in that section, and the Сводная таблица states that the sizes for an analogue are the sizes of the substance it is an analogue of. The parent entry here is 2-(2,5-диметокси-4-хлорфенил)-N-(2-метоксибензил)этанамин (25C-NBOMe, 2C-C-NBOMe) at item 53 of Таблица I section В, whose sizes are 0-0,02 grams, 0,02-0,5 grams and above 0,5 grams. Kazakhstan listed the chlorinated member of the NBOMe series by name and left the iodinated one out. 25I-NBOMe differs from the listed compound by an iodine in place of a chlorine, one halogen for another. The substituent relied on is иод, iodine, item 1.13 of the substituent list. [Certain] that the parent entry, its sizes and the substituent all appear as described, all three re-derived from the instrument in this pass. [Likely] that the analogue rule reaches 25I-NBOMe, because applying it is a chemical judgement that an expert report makes in the individual case and not something the text performs by itself. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, and a later amendment adding this substance by name is not ruled out.

No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Those sizes decide the charge. Under Criminal Code Article 296 a quantity below крупный draws a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices or arrest of up to 40 days, a крупный quantity up to 200 indices or 50 days, and only an особо крупный quantity carries prison, three to seven years under part 4. Article 296 part 1 is the separate offence of non-medical consumption in a public place. Anything done with intent to supply moves to Article 297, five to eight years with confiscation at part 1 and fifteen to twenty years at part 4, while Article 297-1, which the law of 2 January 2025 No. 150-VIII inserted, punishes manufacture and processing for supply and reaches life imprisonment. The size band that decides all of this comes from the parent entry, 2-(2,5-диметокси-4-хлорфенил)-N-(2-метоксибензил)этанамин (25C-NBOMe, 2C-C-NBOMe), whose figures are 0-0,02 grams, 0,02-0,5 grams and above 0,5 grams, because the Сводная таблица assigns an analogue the sizes of the substance it is an analogue of. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence.

2C-B

Legal status: 2C-B is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry 2С-В at item 11 of section В of Таблица II of the Список, the schedule of substances used for medical purposes and held under strict control. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row 2С-В and sets небольшой размер at 0-0,01 grams, крупный размер at 0,01-0,05 grams and особо крупный размер above 0,05 grams. The entry is printed in Cyrillic letters that are visually identical to the Latin ones, so the designation on the page is not the Latin string it appears to be and a Latin keyboard search returns nothing on a plainly scheduled substance. The entry was matched through the Cyrillic spelling. The placement is also worth noting: Kazakhstan puts 2C-B in Таблица II, the schedule that allows medical use under strict control, rather than in the prohibited schedule where most of the phenethylamines sit. 25C-NBOMe, the only NBOMe compound on the list, is a separate entry at item 53 of Таблица I with its own sizes of 0-0,02 grams, 0,02-0,5 grams and above 0,5 grams. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement and the figures, both re-derived from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Kazakhstan grades the offence by the size band. Criminal Code Article 296 part 2 meets ordinary possession without intent to supply with a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices, corrective labour, community work or arrest of up to 40 days, part 3 meets a крупный quantity with up to 200 indices or 50 days, and part 4 meets an особо крупный quantity with three to seven years of imprisonment. Public non-medical consumption is part 1. Supply is Article 297 at five to eight years with confiscation and up to fifteen to twenty years for its aggravated forms, and Article 297-1, inserted on 2 January 2025 by law No. 150-VIII, covers manufacture and processing for supply with life imprisonment available at part 4. The row that carries those figures is 2С-В, and for 2C-B the custodial rung therefore opens above 0,05 grams. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears. [Likely] Carried from the entry published before this batch and not re-derived in this pass: the two middle rungs of that ladder are six to ten years for part 2 and seven to twelve years for part 3.
If prescribed / medical: Таблица II of the Список is headed as the schedule of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances used for medical purposes and held under strict control, so 2C-B does have a domestic medical route and it is the tightest one the Список operates. That is a statement about the schedule and not about what any individual pharmacy will dispense to a visitor, and the Resolution does not set import rules for a traveller's own supply.
Documentation: Provenance. The placement and the grams on this row were read from the consolidated text of Government Resolution of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approving the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан and the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes at https://zakon.uchet.kz/rus/docs/P1900000470, which is the state legal information system's copy, on 2026-09-21. The tables were parsed by column position rather than by reading them as a stream of lines, which matters because a blank небольшой размер cell is a real feature of this table and a line reader silently shifts the remaining figures one column left. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text. Russian names are quoted as the instrument prints them, except that the list prints the Список entries in capitals and they are given here in ordinary case.

2C-E

Legal status: 2C-E is not named in Kazakhstan's controlled list, and the route that reaches it is the analogue rule rather than an entry of its own. Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves three documents and the third of them is the Список заместителей атомов водорода, галогенов и (или) гидроксильных групп в структурных формулах наркотических средств, психотропных веществ, a list of 82 live monovalent and 15 live divalent substituents, the monovalent keys running 1.1 to 1.75 with seven inserted at 1.2-1, 1.2-2, 1.2-3, 1.2-4, 1.43-1, 1.49-1 and 1.55-1, and 2.16 repealed. Each table of the Список closes with a line extending it to analogues of the substances in that section, and the Сводная таблица states that the sizes for an analogue are the sizes of the substance it is an analogue of. The parent entry here is 2С-В at item 11 of Таблица II section В, whose sizes are 0-0,01 grams, 0,01-0,05 grams and above 0,05 grams. 2C-E differs from the listed 2C-B by an ethyl group where 2C-B carries a bromine, and bromine is a halogen, which is one of the three things the substituent list is drawn to replace. The substituent relied on is этил, ethyl, item 1.70 of the substituent list. [Certain] that the parent entry, its sizes and the substituent all appear as described, all three re-derived from the instrument in this pass. [Likely] that the analogue rule reaches 2C-E, because applying it is a chemical judgement that an expert report makes in the individual case and not something the text performs by itself. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, and a later amendment adding this substance by name is not ruled out. The list read for this row is the Список approved by Postanovlenie Pravitelstva Respubliki Kazakhstan No. 470, in the redaction of 24 February 2026 No. 111, which the copy read states at its own Snoska and in its metadata panel. [Likely] No later redaction was read in this pass, so a subsequent one naming this substance outright is not ruled out and this absence is stated as at that version rather than as at today, and it does not rule out a later redaction.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Criminal Code Article 296 governs handling without intent to supply. Part 2 reaches manufacture, processing, acquisition, storage and transport and carries a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices, corrective labour, community work or arrest of up to 40 days. Part 3 raises that to up to 200 indices or arrest of up to 50 days once the quantity is крупный. Part 4 is the first custodial rung and runs to three to seven years once the quantity is особо крупный. Part 1 deals separately with non-medical consumption in a public place. Supply is Article 297, at five to eight years with confiscation, rising through six to ten and seven to twelve to fifteen to twenty years for its aggravated parts, and Article 297-1, inserted by the amending law of 2 January 2025 No. 150-VIII, covers manufacture and processing for supply and reaches life imprisonment at its part 4. The size band that decides all of this comes from the parent entry, 2С-В, whose figures are 0-0,01 grams, 0,01-0,05 grams and above 0,05 grams, because the Сводная таблица assigns an analogue the sizes of the substance it is an analogue of. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence.

The parent entry sits in a schedule that does carry a medical characterisation, but an analogue is reached for the purposes of control and seizure sizes rather than being placed in a schedule with a medical status, so nothing here creates a prescription route for 2C-E and a foreign prescription would not supply one.

2C-I

Legal status: 2C-I is not named in Kazakhstan's controlled list, and the route that reaches it is the analogue rule rather than an entry of its own. Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves three documents and the third of them is the Список заместителей атомов водорода, галогенов и (или) гидроксильных групп в структурных формулах наркотических средств, психотропных веществ, a list of 82 live monovalent and 15 live divalent substituents, the monovalent keys running 1.1 to 1.75 with seven inserted at 1.2-1, 1.2-2, 1.2-3, 1.2-4, 1.43-1, 1.49-1 and 1.55-1, and 2.16 repealed. Each table of the Список closes with a line extending it to analogues of the substances in that section, and the Сводная таблица states that the sizes for an analogue are the sizes of the substance it is an analogue of. The parent entry here is 2С-В at item 11 of Таблица II section В, whose sizes are 0-0,01 grams, 0,01-0,05 grams and above 0,05 grams. 2C-I differs from the listed 2C-B by an iodine where 2C-B carries a bromine, which is one halogen for another and the plainest case the substituent list covers. The substituent relied on is иод, iodine, item 1.13 of the substituent list. [Certain] that the parent entry, its sizes and the substituent all appear as described, all three re-derived from the instrument in this pass. [Likely] that the analogue rule reaches 2C-I, because applying it is a chemical judgement that an expert report makes in the individual case and not something the text performs by itself. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, and a later amendment adding this substance by name is not ruled out.

[Likely] No later redaction was read in this pass, so a subsequent one naming this substance outright is not ruled out and this absence is stated as at that version rather than as at today, and it does not rule out a later redaction.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. The penalty ladder is read off those sizes. Possession without intent to supply sits in Criminal Code Article 296, which is non-custodial at parts 2 and 3, a fine of up to 160 or up to 200 monthly calculation indices or arrest of up to 40 or 50 days, and becomes custodial only at part 4, three to seven years, once the seizure is особо крупный. Consumption in a public place is part 1 of the same article. Supply runs under Article 297 at five to eight years with confiscation for the bare offence and fifteen to twenty years for its heaviest part, and manufacture or processing for supply under Article 297-1, added on 2 January 2025 by law No. 150-VIII, carries life imprisonment at part 4. The size band that decides all of this comes from the parent entry, 2С-В, whose figures are 0-0,01 grams, 0,01-0,05 grams and above 0,05 grams, because the Сводная таблица assigns an analogue the sizes of the substance it is an analogue of. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears. [Likely] Carried from the entry published before this batch and not re-derived in this pass: the two middle rungs of that ladder are six to ten years for part 2 and seven to twelve years for part 3.
If prescribed / medical: The Resolution gives 2C-I no entry of its own, so it gives it no prescribing route either. The parent entry sits in a schedule that does carry a medical characterisation, but an analogue is reached for the purposes of control and seizure sizes rather than being placed in a schedule with a medical status, so nothing here creates a prescription route for 2C-I and a foreign prescription would not supply one.

2C-T-7

Legal status: 2C-T-7 is not named in Kazakhstan's controlled list, and the route that reaches it is the analogue rule rather than an entry of its own. Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves three documents and the third of them is the Список заместителей атомов водорода, галогенов и (или) гидроксильных групп в структурных формулах наркотических средств, психотропных веществ, a list of 82 live monovalent and 15 live divalent substituents, the monovalent keys running 1.1 to 1.75 with seven inserted at 1.2-1, 1.2-2, 1.2-3, 1.2-4, 1.43-1, 1.49-1 and 1.55-1, and 2.16 repealed. Each table of the Список closes with a line extending it to analogues of the substances in that section, and the Сводная таблица states that the sizes for an analogue are the sizes of the substance it is an analogue of. The parent entry here is 2С-В at item 11 of Таблица II section В, whose sizes are 0-0,01 grams, 0,01-0,05 grams and above 0,05 grams. 2C-T-7 differs from the listed 2C-B by a propylthio group where 2C-B carries a bromine, and the substituent list carries propylsulfanyl by name. The substituent relied on is пропилсульфанил (пропилтио), propylsulfanyl or propylthio, item 1.49 of the substituent list. [Certain] that the parent entry, its sizes and the substituent all appear as described, all three re-derived from the instrument in this pass. [Likely] that the analogue rule reaches 2C-T-7, because applying it is a chemical judgement that an expert report makes in the individual case and not something the text performs by itself. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, and a later amendment adding this substance by name is not ruled out. The list read for this row is the Список approved by Postanovlenie Pravitelstva Respubliki Kazakhstan No. 470, in the redaction of 24 February 2026 No. 111, which the copy read states at its own Snoska and in its metadata panel. [Likely] No later redaction was read in this pass, so a subsequent one naming this substance outright is not ruled out and this absence is stated as at that version rather than as at today, and it does not rule out a later redaction.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Those sizes decide the charge. Under Criminal Code Article 296 a quantity below крупный draws a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices or arrest of up to 40 days, a крупный quantity up to 200 indices or 50 days, and only an особо крупный quantity carries prison, three to seven years under part 4. Article 296 part 1 is the separate offence of non-medical consumption in a public place. Anything done with intent to supply moves to Article 297, five to eight years with confiscation at part 1 and fifteen to twenty years at part 4, while Article 297-1, which the law of 2 January 2025 No. 150-VIII inserted, punishes manufacture and processing for supply and reaches life imprisonment. The size band that decides all of this comes from the parent entry, 2С-В, whose figures are 0-0,01 grams, 0,01-0,05 grams and above 0,05 grams, because the Сводная таблица assigns an analogue the sizes of the substance it is an analogue of. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears. [Likely] Carried from the entry published before this batch and not re-derived in this pass: the two middle rungs of that ladder are six to ten years for part 2 and seven to twelve years for part 3.
If prescribed / medical: The Resolution gives 2C-T-7 no entry of its own, so it gives it no prescribing route either. The parent entry sits in a schedule that does carry a medical characterisation, but an analogue is reached for the purposes of control and seizure sizes rather than being placed in a schedule with a medical status, so nothing here creates a prescription route for 2C-T-7 and a foreign prescription would not supply one.

Each table of the Список closes with a line extending it to analogues of the substances in that section, and the Сводная таблица states that the sizes for an analogue are the sizes of the substance it is an analogue of. The parent entry here is Меткатинон (эфедрон) at item 23 of Таблица I section В, whose sizes are 0-0,02 grams, 0,02-1,5 grams and above 1,5 grams. 3-MMC is the meta isomer of mephedrone and stands in the same relation to the listed methcathinone, a methyl group on the ring in place of a hydrogen. The substituent relied on is метил, methyl, item 1.21 of the substituent list. [Certain] that the parent entry, its sizes and the substituent all appear as described, all three re-derived from the instrument in this pass. [Likely] that the analogue rule reaches 3-MMC, because applying it is a chemical judgement that an expert report makes in the individual case and not something the text performs by itself.

Kazakhstan grades the offence by the size band. Criminal Code Article 296 part 2 meets ordinary possession without intent to supply with a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices, corrective labour, community work or arrest of up to 40 days, part 3 meets a крупный quantity with up to 200 indices or 50 days, and part 4 meets an особо крупный quantity with three to seven years of imprisonment. Public non-medical consumption is part 1. Supply is Article 297 at five to eight years with confiscation and up to fifteen to twenty years for its aggravated forms, and Article 297-1, inserted on 2 January 2025 by law No. 150-VIII, covers manufacture and processing for supply with life imprisonment available at part 4. The size band that decides all of this comes from the parent entry, Меткатинон (эфедрон), whose figures are 0-0,02 grams, 0,02-1,5 grams and above 1,5 grams, because the Сводная таблица assigns an analogue the sizes of the substance it is an analogue of.

Each table of the Список closes with a line extending it to analogues of the substances in that section, and the Сводная таблица states that the sizes for an analogue are the sizes of the substance it is an analogue of. The parent entry here is Псилоцин, псилотсин at item 30 of Таблица I section В, whose sizes are 0-0,01 grams, 0,01-0,1 grams and above 0,1 grams. 4-AcO-DMT is psilocin with the 4-hydroxy group acetylated. The substituent list is drawn to cover the replacement of hydroxyl groups as well as hydrogens and halogens, and acetoxy is on it by name, which makes this the cleanest of the analogue routes in this set. The substituent relied on is ацетокси (ацетилокси), acetoxy, item 1.2-3 of the substituent list. [Certain] that the parent entry, its sizes and the substituent all appear as described, all three re-derived from the instrument in this pass.

5-MeO-DMT (Bufo / Toad)

Legal status: 5-MeO-DMT is not named in Kazakhstan's controlled list, and the route that reaches it is the analogue rule rather than an entry of its own. Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves three documents and the third of them is the Список заместителей атомов водорода, галогенов и (или) гидроксильных групп в структурных формулах наркотических средств, психотропных веществ, a list of 82 live monovalent and 15 live divalent substituents, the monovalent keys running 1.1 to 1.75 with seven inserted at 1.2-1, 1.2-2, 1.2-3, 1.2-4, 1.43-1, 1.49-1 and 1.55-1, and 2.16 repealed. Each table of the Список closes with a line extending it to analogues of the substances in that section, and the Сводная таблица states that the sizes for an analogue are the sizes of the substance it is an analogue of. The parent entry here is ДМТ at item 5 of Таблица I section В, whose sizes are 0-0,02 grams, 0,02-1,0 grams and above 1,0 grams. 5-MeO-DMT is dimethyltryptamine carrying a methoxy group on the indole ring where the listed compound carries a hydrogen. A related methoxylated tryptamine, 5-MeO-DALT, is listed outright at item 55, which shows the drafter reaching this corner of the family by name where it chose to. The substituent relied on is метокси, methoxy, item 1.28 of the substituent list. [Certain] that the parent entry, its sizes and the substituent all appear as described, all three re-derived from the instrument in this pass. [Likely] that the analogue rule reaches 5-MeO-DMT, because applying it is a chemical judgement that an expert report makes in the individual case and not something the text performs by itself.

Article 296 part 1 is the separate offence of non-medical consumption in a public place.

The size band that decides all of this comes from the parent entry, ДМТ, whose figures are 0-0,02 grams, 0,02-1,0 grams and above 1,0 grams, because the Сводная таблица assigns an analogue the sizes of the substance it is an analogue of.

7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH)

Legal status: 7-hydroxymitragynine is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry 7-Гидроксимитрагинин at item 91 of section А of Таблица I of the Список, the schedule whose substances are prohibited from use for medical purposes. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row 7-Гидроксимитрагинин and sets небольшой размер at 0-0,008 grams, крупный размер at 0,008-0,024 grams and особо крупный размер above 0,24 grams. This row is printed with an internal gap and it is recorded here as printed rather than repaired. The небольшой band ends at 0,008 grams and the крупный band ends at 0,024 grams, but the особо крупный column reads above 0,24 grams, so the range from 0,024 to 0,24 grams is assigned to no band on the face of the table. Whether the last figure is a typographical slip for 0,024 is not something this text settles, and the gap is left visible rather than closed by guesswork. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement and the figures, both re-derived from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Criminal Code Article 296 governs handling without intent to supply. Part 2 reaches manufacture, processing, acquisition, storage and transport and carries a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices, corrective labour, community work or arrest of up to 40 days. Part 3 raises that to up to 200 indices or arrest of up to 50 days once the quantity is крупный. Part 4 is the first custodial rung and runs to three to seven years once the quantity is особо крупный. Part 1 deals separately with non-medical consumption in a public place. Supply is Article 297, at five to eight years with confiscation, rising through six to ten and seven to twelve to fifteen to twenty years for its aggravated parts, and Article 297-1, inserted by the amending law of 2 January 2025 No. 150-VIII, covers manufacture and processing for supply and reaches life imprisonment at its part 4. The row that carries those figures is 7-Гидроксимитрагинин, and for 7-hydroxymitragynine the custodial rung therefore opens above 0,24 grams. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears.
If prescribed / medical: The Список answers the prescribing question on its own face. The heading of Таблица I is the schedule of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances whose use for medical purposes is prohibited, so Kazakhstan operates no prescribing route for 7-hydroxymitragynine and a prescription written abroad does not create one. A traveller carrying it is in the position Article 296 describes and not in a medical one.

The tables were parsed by column position rather than by reading them as a stream of lines, which matters because a blank небольшой размер cell is a real feature of this table and a line reader silently shifts the remaining figures one column left.

Legal status: Adderall is a brand rather than a substance, and Kazakhstan's list reaches it through its two components. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry Амфетамин at item 1 of section В of Таблица II of the Список, the schedule of substances used for medical purposes and held under strict control. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row Амфетамин (основание и соли) and sets небольшой размер at 0-0,2 grams, крупный размер at 0,2-3,0 grams and особо крупный размер above 3,0 grams. Adderall is not a substance and does not appear as a name anywhere in the Resolution. Its two active components both do. Амфетамин is item 1 of this schedule and Дексамфетамин is item 4, and both take the same three sizes, so a seizure is reached through the components rather than through the brand. The Сводная таблица also carries a separate row for amphetamine preparations measured in millilitres, 0-1 ml, 1,0-50,0 ml and above 50,0 ml. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement and the figures, both re-derived from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. The penalty ladder is read off those sizes. Possession without intent to supply sits in Criminal Code Article 296, which is non-custodial at parts 2 and 3, a fine of up to 160 or up to 200 monthly calculation indices or arrest of up to 40 or 50 days, and becomes custodial only at part 4, three to seven years, once the seizure is особо крупный. Consumption in a public place is part 1 of the same article. Supply runs under Article 297 at five to eight years with confiscation for the bare offence and fifteen to twenty years for its heaviest part, and manufacture or processing for supply under Article 297-1, added on 2 January 2025 by law No. 150-VIII, carries life imprisonment at part 4. The row that carries those figures is Амфетамин (основание и соли), and for Adderall the custodial rung therefore opens above 3,0 grams. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears. [Likely] Carried from the entry published before this batch and not re-derived in this pass: the two middle rungs of that ladder are six to ten years for part 2 and seven to twelve years for part 3.
If prescribed / medical: Таблица II of the Список is headed as the schedule of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances used for medical purposes and held under strict control, so Adderall does have a domestic medical route and it is the tightest one the Список operates. That is a statement about the schedule and not about what any individual pharmacy will dispense to a visitor, and the Resolution does not set import rules for a traveller's own supply.
Documentation: Provenance. The placement and the grams on this row were read from the consolidated text of Government Resolution of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approving the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан and the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes at https://zakon.uchet.kz/rus/docs/P1900000470, which is the state legal information system's copy, on 2026-09-21. The tables were parsed by column position rather than by reading them as a stream of lines, which matters because a blank небольшой размер cell is a real feature of this table and a line reader silently shifts the remaining figures one column left. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text. Russian names are quoted as the instrument prints them, except that the list prints the Список entries in capitals and they are given here in ordinary case.

Alcohol

Legal status: Alcohol is not controlled by Kazakhstan's Resolution No. 470, on the version of the lists read for this row. Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves three documents in all, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, the Сводная таблица of sizes, a substituent list and a short list of veterinary medicines, and all three were searched. Ethanol is named nowhere in the Resolution. Searches for спирт, этанол and алкоголь return nothing across the Список, the Сводная таблица and the precursor schedule. Kazakhstan regulates alcohol through excise, licensing and public order law rather than through the controlled substances Resolution, and none of that sits in this instrument. Searches were anchored at the start of each entry name rather than run as free substring matches, because unanchored matching in this document produces false hits: the Russian for codeine matches acetyldihydrocodeine, the Russian for diazepam matches fludiazepam and the Russian for ephedrine matches cathine. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, and a later amendment adding this substance is expressly not ruled out. [Certain] that the substance is absent from all three lists as this version stands, the search having been re-run from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Because Resolution No. 470 does not reach alcohol, it sets no size bands for it and no threshold can be quoted, so nothing in the criminal ladder below attaches to this substance on the strength of this instrument. Those sizes decide the charge. Under Criminal Code Article 296 a quantity below крупный draws a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices or arrest of up to 40 days, a крупный quantity up to 200 indices or 50 days, and only an особо крупный quantity carries prison, three to seven years under part 4. Article 296 part 1 is the separate offence of non-medical consumption in a public place. Anything done with intent to supply moves to Article 297, five to eight years with confiscation at part 1 and fifteen to twenty years at part 4, while Article 297-1, which the law of 2 January 2025 No. 150-VIII inserted, punishes manufacture and processing for supply and reaches life imprisonment. Every one of those rungs is read off a size band in the Сводная таблица, and for an unlisted substance there is no band to read. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears. [Likely] Carried from the entry published before this batch and not re-derived in this pass: the two middle rungs of that ladder are six to ten years for part 2 and seven to twelve years for part 3.
If prescribed / medical: Because the Resolution does not reach alcohol, it supplies no prescribing rule for it and none is invented here. Kazakhstan runs a separate category of сильнодействующие и ядовитые вещества, potent and poisonous substances, which Criminal Code Article 301 punishes and which is fixed by its own list. That list was not read in this pass, so silence in Resolution No. 470 is not a finding that alcohol is unregulated in Kazakhstan, only that this instrument does not schedule it.

Amanita muscaria

Legal status: Amanita muscaria is not controlled by Kazakhstan's Resolution No. 470, on the version of the lists read for this row. Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves three documents in all, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, the Сводная таблица of sizes, a substituent list and a short list of veterinary medicines, and all three were searched. The fly agaric is named nowhere in the Resolution, and neither muscimol nor ibotenic acid appears in any of the three lists it approves. The mushroom entry that does exist is expressly narrower: item 28 of Таблица I section В covers the fruiting body of any species of mushroom containing psychotropic substances, and the Сводная таблица row that carries its grams is drawn as mushroom fruiting bodies containing psilocin and psilocybin. Amanita muscaria contains neither, so the mushroom row does not reach it on its own wording. Searches were anchored at the start of each entry name rather than run as free substring matches, because unanchored matching in this document produces false hits: the Russian for codeine matches acetyldihydrocodeine, the Russian for diazepam matches fludiazepam and the Russian for ephedrine matches cathine. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, and a later amendment adding this substance is expressly not ruled out.

Because Resolution No. 470 does not reach Amanita muscaria, it sets no size bands for it and no threshold can be quoted, so nothing in the criminal ladder below attaches to this substance on the strength of this instrument. Criminal Code Article 296 governs handling without intent to supply. Part 2 reaches manufacture, processing, acquisition, storage and transport and carries a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices, corrective labour, community work or arrest of up to 40 days. Part 3 raises that to up to 200 indices or arrest of up to 50 days once the quantity is крупный. Part 4 is the first custodial rung and runs to three to seven years once the quantity is особо крупный. Part 1 deals separately with non-medical consumption in a public place. Supply is Article 297, at five to eight years with confiscation, rising through six to ten and seven to twelve to fifteen to twenty years for its aggravated parts, and Article 297-1, inserted by the amending law of 2 January 2025 No. 150-VIII, covers manufacture and processing for supply and reaches life imprisonment at its part 4. Every one of those rungs is read off a size band in the Сводная таблица, and for an unlisted substance there is no band to read. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence.

Amphetamine

Legal status: Amphetamine is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry Амфетамин at item 1 of section В of Таблица II of the Список, the schedule of substances used for medical purposes and held under strict control. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row Амфетамин (основание и соли) and sets небольшой размер at 0-0,2 grams, крупный размер at 0,2-3,0 grams and особо крупный размер above 3,0 grams. Dexamfetamine, levamfetamine and etilamfetamine are separately listed at items 4, 5 and 15 on the same three figures. There is also a separate Сводная таблица row for препараты, содержащие амфетамин, amphetamine preparations, measured in millilitres rather than grams at 0-1 ml, 1,0-50,0 ml and above 50,0 ml. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement and the figures, both re-derived from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. The penalty ladder is read off those sizes. Possession without intent to supply sits in Criminal Code Article 296, which is non-custodial at parts 2 and 3, a fine of up to 160 or up to 200 monthly calculation indices or arrest of up to 40 or 50 days, and becomes custodial only at part 4, three to seven years, once the seizure is особо крупный. Consumption in a public place is part 1 of the same article. Supply runs under Article 297 at five to eight years with confiscation for the bare offence and fifteen to twenty years for its heaviest part, and manufacture or processing for supply under Article 297-1, added on 2 January 2025 by law No. 150-VIII, carries life imprisonment at part 4. The row that carries those figures is Амфетамин (основание и соли), and for Amphetamine the custodial rung therefore opens above 3,0 grams. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass.

Amyl Nitrite

Legal status: Amyl nitrite is not controlled by Kazakhstan's Resolution No. 470, on the version of the lists read for this row. Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves three documents in all, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, the Сводная таблица of sizes, a substituent list and a short list of veterinary medicines, and all three were searched. Amyl nitrite is named nowhere in the Resolution. A search across the Список, the Сводная таблица and the precursor schedule for амилнитрит and for нитрит returns nothing, and the only near hit on those letters is Амобарбитал (барбамил), a barbiturate listed at item 3 of Таблица III section В, which is a different substance reached by a coincidence of spelling. Searches were anchored at the start of each entry name rather than run as free substring matches, because unanchored matching in this document produces false hits: the Russian for codeine matches acetyldihydrocodeine, the Russian for diazepam matches fludiazepam and the Russian for ephedrine matches cathine. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, and a later amendment adding this substance is expressly not ruled out.

Article 296 part 1 is the separate offence of non-medical consumption in a public place. Anything done with intent to supply moves to Article 297, five to eight years with confiscation at part 1 and fifteen to twenty years at part 4, while Article 297-1, which the law of 2 January 2025 No. 150-VIII inserted, punishes manufacture and processing for supply and reaches life imprisonment.

Ayahuasca

Legal status: Ayahuasca is a plant and Kazakhstan's Resolution works on substances, so the answer on this row is split. Neither of the plants is named in the Resolution. Banisteriopsis caapi, Psychotria viridis and the harmala alkaloids return nothing anywhere in the text, and the cultivation table names only the coca bush, khat, the opium poppy and ephedra. The brew's active tryptamine is listed: ДМТ is item 5 of Таблица I section В, spelled out in the Сводная таблица as Диметилтриптамин (ДМТ) (основание и соли), with sizes of 0-0,02 grams, 0,02-1,0 grams and above 1,0 grams. A preparation containing dimethyltryptamine is therefore reached through that entry while the plants themselves are not separately scheduled. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, and a later amendment is not ruled out. [Certain] on every entry and figure quoted, all re-derived from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Kazakhstan grades the offence by the size band. Criminal Code Article 296 part 2 meets ordinary possession without intent to supply with a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices, corrective labour, community work or arrest of up to 40 days, part 3 meets a крупный quantity with up to 200 indices or 50 days, and part 4 meets an особо крупный quantity with three to seven years of imprisonment. Public non-medical consumption is part 1. Supply is Article 297 at five to eight years with confiscation and up to fifteen to twenty years for its aggravated forms, and Article 297-1, inserted on 2 January 2025 by law No. 150-VIII, covers manufacture and processing for supply with life imprisonment available at part 4. Which of those bands applies to a seizure of ayahuasca depends on what the material is measured as, because the Resolution sets grams for the listed substances and not for the raw plant, except where the cultivation table sets a number of plants instead. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears. [Likely] Carried from the entry published before this batch and not re-derived in this pass: the two middle rungs of that ladder are six to ten years for part 2 and seven to twelve years for part 3.
If prescribed / medical: The Resolution answers the prescribing question for the listed substances and not for the plant. Nothing in it creates a medical route for Ayahuasca as plant material, and a foreign prescription would not supply one. Where the listed alkaloid sits in Таблица I of the Список, medical use of that alkaloid is prohibited outright, so no prescribing route exists on that side either.

Barbiturates

Legal status: In Kazakhstan barbiturates are listed one by one and not as a class. The Список approved by Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 enumerates them in section В, principally in Таблица III of the Список, the schedule of substances used for medical purposes and held under control. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row Барбитал and sets небольшой размер at 0-0,6 grams, крупный размер at 0,6-30,0 grams and особо крупный размер above 30,0 grams. Таблица III section В carries allobarbital, amobarbital, barbital, butalbital, butobarbital, vinylbital, methylphenobarbital, secbutabarbital, phenobarbital and cyclobarbital, while pentobarbital and secobarbital sit a schedule higher in Таблица II section В. Most of them share the 0-0,6, 0,6-30,0 and above 30,0 gram pattern. Pentobarbital is the exception at 0-0,5, 0,5-5,0 and above 5,0 grams. Amobarbital is counted in tablets as well, one to six tablets of 0,1 grams for the small band and three hundred for the особо крупный threshold. There is no residual clause for a barbiturate that is not on the list. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement and the figures.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Criminal Code Article 296 governs handling without intent to supply. Part 2 reaches manufacture, processing, acquisition, storage and transport and carries a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices, corrective labour, community work or arrest of up to 40 days. Part 3 raises that to up to 200 indices or arrest of up to 50 days once the quantity is крупный. Part 4 is the first custodial rung and runs to three to seven years once the quantity is особо крупный. Part 1 deals separately with non-medical consumption in a public place. Supply is Article 297, at five to eight years with confiscation, rising through six to ten and seven to twelve to fifteen to twenty years for its aggravated parts, and Article 297-1, inserted by the amending law of 2 January 2025 No. 150-VIII, covers manufacture and processing for supply and reaches life imprisonment at its part 4. The row that carries those figures is Барбитал, and for Barbiturates the custodial rung therefore opens above 30,0 grams. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears.
If prescribed / medical: Таблица III of the Список is headed as the schedule of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances used for medical purposes and held under control, which is the lighter of the two medical schedules, so Barbiturates has a domestic prescribing route. The Resolution fixes the schedule and the seizure sizes and says nothing about what a visitor may bring in, so the carriage question is answered by the health ministry's import rules and not by this text. The same Resolution also approves a short Список of veterinary medicines containing controlled substances, and Барбитал appears on it.
Documentation: Provenance. The placement and the grams on this row were read from the consolidated text of Government Resolution of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approving the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан and the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes at https://zakon.uchet.kz/rus/docs/P1900000470, which is the state legal information system's copy, on 2026-09-21.

Benzodiazepines

Legal status: Listed in Kazakhstan as substances held under control. Kazakhstan reaches benzodiazepines by naming them one at a time rather than by describing a class. The Список approved by Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 enumerates them in section В, principally in Таблица III of the Список, the schedule of substances used for medical purposes and held under control. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row Диазепам и другие, обозначенные в таблице III, производные бензодиазепина and sets no небольшой размер band at all, крупный размер at 0,5-5,0 grams and особо крупный размер above 5,0 grams. The class is reached twice over. Таблица III section В of the Список names them individually, more than thirty of them, among them alprazolam, bromazepam, brotizolam, camazepam, clobazam, cloxazolam, clonazepam, clorazepate, clotiazepam, delorazepam, diazepam, estazolam, ethyl loflazepate, fludiazepam, flunitrazepam, flurazepam, halazepam, haloxazolam, ketazolam, loprazolam, lorazepam, lormetazepam, medazepam, midazolam, nimetazepam, nitrazepam, nordazepam, oxazepam, oxazolam, pinazepam, prazepam, temazepam, tetrazepam, triazolam and chlordiazepoxide, with etizolam, clonazolam, diclazepam and flubromazolam added at the end. The Сводная таблица then carries one class row in the instrument's own words, diazepam and the other benzodiazepine derivatives designated in Таблица III, which is why a compound in the schedule with no row of its own is still measurable. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement and the figures.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. The penalty ladder is read off those sizes. Possession without intent to supply sits in Criminal Code Article 296, which is non-custodial at parts 2 and 3, a fine of up to 160 or up to 200 monthly calculation indices or arrest of up to 40 or 50 days, and becomes custodial only at part 4, three to seven years, once the seizure is особо крупный. Consumption in a public place is part 1 of the same article. Supply runs under Article 297 at five to eight years with confiscation for the bare offence and fifteen to twenty years for its heaviest part, and manufacture or processing for supply under Article 297-1, added on 2 January 2025 by law No. 150-VIII, carries life imprisonment at part 4. On the row Диазепам и другие, обозначенные в таблице III, производные бензодиазепина the table prints no небольшой размер band at all, so for Benzodiazepines the custodial rung opens above 5,0 grams with nothing below it marked as small. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears.

Buprenorphine

Legal status: Buprenorphine is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry Бупренорфин (норфин) at item 2 of section В of Таблица II of the Список, the schedule of substances used for medical purposes and held under strict control. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row Бупренорфин (норфин, сангезик, тенгезик бупренал, бупренон) and sets небольшой размер at 0-0,0012 grams, крупный размер at 0,0012-0,12 grams and особо крупный размер above 0,12 grams. Kazakhstan files buprenorphine among the psychotropic substances rather than the narcotic drugs, which is a placement worth noting because it changes which table of the Сводная таблица the grams come from. The row is expressed in dosage units as well as weight: the небольшой band of 0-0,0012 grams is one to four ampoules of 1 ml or one to two of 2 ml or tablets of 0,2 mg, the крупный band runs to four hundred ampoules of 1 ml or six hundred tablets, and the особо крупный threshold is above those counts. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement and the figures, both re-derived from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Those sizes decide the charge. Under Criminal Code Article 296 a quantity below крупный draws a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices or arrest of up to 40 days, a крупный quantity up to 200 indices or 50 days, and only an особо крупный quantity carries prison, three to seven years under part 4. Article 296 part 1 is the separate offence of non-medical consumption in a public place. Anything done with intent to supply moves to Article 297, five to eight years with confiscation at part 1 and fifteen to twenty years at part 4, while Article 297-1, which the law of 2 January 2025 No. 150-VIII inserted, punishes manufacture and processing for supply and reaches life imprisonment. The row that carries those figures is Бупренорфин (норфин, сангезик, тенгезик бупренал, бупренон), and for Buprenorphine the custodial rung therefore opens above 0,12 grams. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears. [Likely] Carried from the entry published before this batch and not re-derived in this pass: the two middle rungs of that ladder are six to ten years for part 2 and seven to twelve years for part 3.
If prescribed / medical: Таблица II of the Список is headed as the schedule of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances used for medical purposes and held under strict control, so Buprenorphine does have a domestic medical route and it is the tightest one the Список operates. That is a statement about the schedule and not about what any individual pharmacy will dispense to a visitor, and the Resolution does not set import rules for a traveller's own supply.
Documentation: Provenance. The placement and the grams on this row were read from the consolidated text of Government Resolution of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approving the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан and the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes at https://zakon.uchet.kz/rus/docs/P1900000470, which is the state legal information system's copy, on 2026-09-21.

Caffeine

Legal status: Caffeine is not controlled by Kazakhstan's Resolution No. 470, on the version of the lists read for this row. Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves three documents in all, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, the Сводная таблица of sizes, a substituent list and a short list of veterinary medicines, and all three were searched. Caffeine is named nowhere in the Resolution. A search for кофеин across all three approved lists returns nothing. That absence has a practical edge on this row: caffeine is frequently the bulk of an adulterated stimulant powder, and because it is unlisted it contributes nothing of its own to a charge, while the size rows for heroin, methamphetamine and cannabis are expressly drawn to include accompanying substances and fillers and so weigh the whole seizure. Searches were anchored at the start of each entry name rather than run as free substring matches, because unanchored matching in this document produces false hits: the Russian for codeine matches acetyldihydrocodeine, the Russian for diazepam matches fludiazepam and the Russian for ephedrine matches cathine. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, and a later amendment adding this substance is expressly not ruled out. [Certain] that the substance is absent from all three lists as this version stands, the search having been re-run from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Because Resolution No. 470 does not reach caffeine, it sets no size bands for it and no threshold can be quoted, so nothing in the criminal ladder below attaches to this substance on the strength of this instrument. Kazakhstan grades the offence by the size band. Criminal Code Article 296 part 2 meets ordinary possession without intent to supply with a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices, corrective labour, community work or arrest of up to 40 days, part 3 meets a крупный quantity with up to 200 indices or 50 days, and part 4 meets an особо крупный quantity with three to seven years of imprisonment. Public non-medical consumption is part 1. Supply is Article 297 at five to eight years with confiscation and up to fifteen to twenty years for its aggravated forms, and Article 297-1, inserted on 2 January 2025 by law No. 150-VIII, covers manufacture and processing for supply with life imprisonment available at part 4. Every one of those rungs is read off a size band in the Сводная таблица, and for an unlisted substance there is no band to read. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears. [Likely] Carried from the entry published before this batch and not re-derived in this pass: the two middle rungs of that ladder are six to ten years for part 2 and seven to twelve years for part 3.
If prescribed / medical: Because the Resolution does not reach caffeine, it supplies no prescribing rule for it and none is invented here. Kazakhstan runs a separate category of сильнодействующие и ядовитые вещества, potent and poisonous substances, which Criminal Code Article 301 punishes and which is fixed by its own list. That list was not read in this pass, so silence in Resolution No. 470 is not a finding that caffeine is unregulated in Kazakhstan, only that this instrument does not schedule it.
Documentation: Provenance. All three lists approved by Government Resolution of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approving the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан and the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, the Список in its four tables, the Сводная таблица in its four tables, the substituent list and the veterinary medicines list, were read from the consolidated text at https://zakon.uchet.kz/rus/docs/P1900000470 on 2026-09-21, with the tables parsed by column position.

Cannabinol

Legal status: Cannabinol is not controlled by Kazakhstan's Resolution No. 470, on the version of the lists read for this row. Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves three documents in all, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, the Сводная таблица of sizes, a substituent list and a short list of veterinary medicines, and all three were searched. Cannabinol is named nowhere in the Resolution, and this row is the clearest trap in the whole Kazakh list. A search for каннабинол as a free substring returns five hits and not one of them is cannabinol: they are Тетрагидроканнабинол at item 35 of Таблица I section В, Гексагидроканнабинол at item 64, the same word inside the definition of the cannabis plant at item 62 and the tetrahydrocannabinol row of the Сводная таблица. Anchored at the start of the entry name, the count is zero. Cannabinol is not an isomer of tetrahydrocannabinol, it is the fully aromatic oxidation product with a different molecular formula, so the isomer wording at item 35 does not reach it either. The plant material entries remain available, since marijuana, resin and cannabis extract are all listed, so cannabinol in plant or extract form is reached through those. Searches were anchored at the start of each entry name rather than run as free substring matches, because unanchored matching in this document produces false hits: the Russian for codeine matches acetyldihydrocodeine, the Russian for diazepam matches fludiazepam and the Russian for ephedrine matches cathine. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, and a later amendment adding this substance is expressly not ruled out. [Certain] that the substance is absent from all three lists as this version stands, the search having been re-run from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Because Resolution No. 470 does not reach cannabinol, it sets no size bands for it and no threshold can be quoted, so nothing in the criminal ladder below attaches to this substance on the strength of this instrument. Criminal Code Article 296 governs handling without intent to supply. Part 2 reaches manufacture, processing, acquisition, storage and transport and carries a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices, corrective labour, community work or arrest of up to 40 days. Part 3 raises that to up to 200 indices or arrest of up to 50 days once the quantity is крупный. Part 4 is the first custodial rung and runs to three to seven years once the quantity is особо крупный. Part 1 deals separately with non-medical consumption in a public place. Supply is Article 297, at five to eight years with confiscation, rising through six to ten and seven to twelve to fifteen to twenty years for its aggravated parts, and Article 297-1, inserted by the amending law of 2 January 2025 No. 150-VIII, covers manufacture and processing for supply and reaches life imprisonment at its part 4. Every one of those rungs is read off a size band in the Сводная таблица, and for an unlisted substance there is no band to read. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears.
If prescribed / medical: Because the Resolution does not reach cannabinol, it supplies no prescribing rule for it and none is invented here. Kazakhstan runs a separate category of сильнодействующие и ядовитые вещества, potent and poisonous substances, which Criminal Code Article 301 punishes and which is fixed by its own list. That list was not read in this pass, so silence in Resolution No. 470 is not a finding that cannabinol is unregulated in Kazakhstan, only that this instrument does not schedule it.

Cannabis / THC

Legal status: Cannabis is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry Марихуана (каннабис) (cannabis) at item 33 of section А of Таблица I of the Список, the schedule whose substances are prohibited from use for medical purposes. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row Марихуана (каннабис) (cannabis), растение каннабис (конопля), высушенная and sets небольшой размер at 0,5-50,0 grams, крупный размер at 50,0-1000 grams and особо крупный размер above 1000 grams. Cannabis occupies five separate entries in Таблица I and each carries its own grams. Marijuana and the cannabis plant share one row that is split dried against undried, the undried figures being 5,0-200,0 grams, 200,0-5000 grams and above 5000 grams. Гашиш, hashish, is item 19 at 0,5-5,0 grams, 5,0-200 grams and above 200 grams. Смола каннабиса, cannabis resin, is item 63 at 0,1-0,5 grams, 0,5-40,0 grams and above 40,0 grams. Экстракт каннабиса, cannabis extract or hashish oil, is item 70 at 0-0,05 grams, 0,05-50,0 grams and above 50,0 grams. The cannabis plant itself is separately item 62. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement and the figures, both re-derived from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. The penalty ladder is read off those sizes. Possession without intent to supply sits in Criminal Code Article 296, which is non-custodial at parts 2 and 3, a fine of up to 160 or up to 200 monthly calculation indices or arrest of up to 40 or 50 days, and becomes custodial only at part 4, three to seven years, once the seizure is особо крупный. Consumption in a public place is part 1 of the same article. Supply runs under Article 297 at five to eight years with confiscation for the bare offence and fifteen to twenty years for its heaviest part, and manufacture or processing for supply under Article 297-1, added on 2 January 2025 by law No. 150-VIII, carries life imprisonment at part 4. The row that carries those figures is Марихуана (каннабис) (cannabis), растение каннабис (конопля), высушенная, and for Cannabis the custodial rung therefore opens above 1000 grams. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears. [Likely] Carried from the entry published before this batch and not re-derived in this pass: the two middle rungs of that ladder are six to ten years for part 2 and seven to twelve years for part 3.
If prescribed / medical: The Список answers the prescribing question on its own face. The heading of Таблица I is the schedule of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances whose use for medical purposes is prohibited, so Kazakhstan operates no prescribing route for Cannabis and a prescription written abroad does not create one. A traveller carrying it is in the position Article 296 describes and not in a medical one.
Documentation: Provenance. The placement and the grams on this row were read from the consolidated text of Government Resolution of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approving the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан and the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes at https://zakon.uchet.kz/rus/docs/P1900000470, which is the state legal information system's copy, on 2026-09-21.

Cathinone

Legal status: Cathinone is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry Катинон at item 8 of section В of Таблица I of the Список, the schedule whose substances are prohibited from use for medical purposes. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row Катинон and sets небольшой размер at 0-0,02 grams, крупный размер at 0,02-1,0 grams and особо крупный размер above 1,0 grams. Cathine, the milder alkaloid of the same plant, is a different entry in a different schedule: it is item 18 of Таблица III under the name Катин with norpseudoephedrine given as its synonym, and its sizes are ten times larger at 0-0,2 grams, 0,2-3,0 grams and above 3,0 grams. Methcathinone, printed as Меткатинон with эфедрон as its synonym, is item 23 of this same Таблица I section. A search that does not anchor at the start of the entry name confuses all three. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement and the figures, both re-derived from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Those sizes decide the charge. Under Criminal Code Article 296 a quantity below крупный draws a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices or arrest of up to 40 days, a крупный quantity up to 200 indices or 50 days, and only an особо крупный quantity carries prison, three to seven years under part 4. Article 296 part 1 is the separate offence of non-medical consumption in a public place. Anything done with intent to supply moves to Article 297, five to eight years with confiscation at part 1 and fifteen to twenty years at part 4, while Article 297-1, which the law of 2 January 2025 No. 150-VIII inserted, punishes manufacture and processing for supply and reaches life imprisonment. The row that carries those figures is Катинон, and for Cathinone the custodial rung therefore opens above 1,0 grams. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list.

[Likely] Carried from the entry published before this batch and not re-derived in this pass: the two middle rungs of that ladder are six to ten years for part 2 and seven to twelve years for part 3.
If prescribed / medical: The Список answers the prescribing question on its own face. The heading of Таблица I is the schedule of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances whose use for medical purposes is prohibited, so Kazakhstan operates no prescribing route for Cathinone and a prescription written abroad does not create one. A traveller carrying it is in the position Article 296 describes and not in a medical one.

CBD

Legal status: CBD is not controlled by Kazakhstan's Resolution No. 470, on the version of the lists read for this row. Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves three documents in all, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, the Сводная таблица of sizes, a substituent list and a short list of veterinary medicines, and all three were searched. Cannabidiol is named nowhere in the Resolution. Searches for каннабидиол and for the Latin abbreviation return nothing across all three approved lists. The cannabinoid entries that do exist are drawn narrowly: item 35 of Таблица I section В covers tetrahydrocannabinol and all its isomers and stereochemical variants, and hexahydrocannabinol needed a separate entry at item 64 because it is not an isomer. Cannabidiol is neither. The cannabis plant material entries are a different matter, because marijuana, the cannabis plant, resin and cannabis extract are all listed by name, so a cannabidiol product that is plant material or an extract of it can be reached through those entries rather than through a cannabidiol entry. Searches were anchored at the start of each entry name rather than run as free substring matches, because unanchored matching in this document produces false hits: the Russian for codeine matches acetyldihydrocodeine, the Russian for diazepam matches fludiazepam and the Russian for ephedrine matches cathine. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, and a later amendment adding this substance is expressly not ruled out. [Certain] that the substance is absent from all three lists as this version stands, the search having been re-run from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Because Resolution No. 470 does not reach CBD, it sets no size bands for it and no threshold can be quoted, so nothing in the criminal ladder below attaches to this substance on the strength of this instrument. Kazakhstan grades the offence by the size band. Criminal Code Article 296 part 2 meets ordinary possession without intent to supply with a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices, corrective labour, community work or arrest of up to 40 days, part 3 meets a крупный quantity with up to 200 indices or 50 days, and part 4 meets an особо крупный quantity with three to seven years of imprisonment. Public non-medical consumption is part 1. Supply is Article 297 at five to eight years with confiscation and up to fifteen to twenty years for its aggravated forms, and Article 297-1, inserted on 2 January 2025 by law No. 150-VIII, covers manufacture and processing for supply with life imprisonment available at part 4. Every one of those rungs is read off a size band in the Сводная таблица, and for an unlisted substance there is no band to read. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears. [Likely] Carried from the entry published before this batch and not re-derived in this pass: the two middle rungs of that ladder are six to ten years for part 2 and seven to twelve years for part 3.
If prescribed / medical: Because the Resolution does not reach CBD, it supplies no prescribing rule for it and none is invented here. Kazakhstan runs a separate category of сильнодействующие и ядовитые вещества, potent and poisonous substances, which Criminal Code Article 301 punishes and which is fixed by its own list. That list was not read in this pass, so silence in Resolution No. 470 is not a finding that CBD is unregulated in Kazakhstan, only that this instrument does not schedule it.

Clonazepam

Legal status: Clonazepam is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry Клоназепам at item 22 of section В of Таблица III of the Список, the schedule of substances used for medical purposes and held under control. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row Клоназепам and sets no небольшой размер band at all, крупный размер at 0,5-5,0 grams and особо крупный размер above 5,0 grams. The небольшой размер column is blank and the крупный band begins at 0,5 grams, so the range below 0,5 grams is unassigned on the face of the row while neighbouring benzodiazepines carry an express 0-0,5 gram band. The row is also counted in tablets: the крупный band is given as 255 to 2550 tablets of 2 mg or 500 tablets of 1 mg, and the особо крупный threshold as above those counts. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement and the figures, both re-derived from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Criminal Code Article 296 governs handling without intent to supply. Part 2 reaches manufacture, processing, acquisition, storage and transport and carries a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices, corrective labour, community work or arrest of up to 40 days. Part 3 raises that to up to 200 indices or arrest of up to 50 days once the quantity is крупный. Part 4 is the first custodial rung and runs to three to seven years once the quantity is особо крупный. Part 1 deals separately with non-medical consumption in a public place. Supply is Article 297, at five to eight years with confiscation, rising through six to ten and seven to twelve to fifteen to twenty years for its aggravated parts, and Article 297-1, inserted by the amending law of 2 January 2025 No. 150-VIII, covers manufacture and processing for supply and reaches life imprisonment at its part 4. On the row Клоназепам the table prints no небольшой размер band at all, so for Clonazepam the custodial rung opens above 5,0 grams with nothing below it marked as small. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears.
If prescribed / medical: Таблица III of the Список is headed as the schedule of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances used for medical purposes and held under control, which is the lighter of the two medical schedules, so Clonazepam has a domestic prescribing route. The Resolution fixes the schedule and the seizure sizes and says nothing about what a visitor may bring in, so the carriage question is answered by the health ministry's import rules and not by this text. The same Resolution also approves a short Список of veterinary medicines containing controlled substances, and Клоназепам appears on it.
Documentation: Provenance.

Cocaine

Legal status: Cocaine is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry Кокаин, кроме кокаина гидрохлорида at item 37 of section А of Таблица I of the Список, the schedule whose substances are prohibited from use for medical purposes. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row Кокаин (основание и соли) and sets небольшой размер at 0-0,01 grams, крупный размер at 0,01-1,0 grams and особо крупный размер above 1,0 grams. The split matters. Cocaine hydrochloride is carved out of the Таблица I entry and placed instead at item 15 of Таблица II section А, the schedule that still allows medical use under strict control, while the Сводная таблица runs one size row across base and salts alike. Лист кока, the coca leaf, is item 38 of Таблица I with its own sizes of 0,5-20,0 grams, 20,0-500,0 grams and above 500,0 grams. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement and the figures, both re-derived from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. The penalty ladder is read off those sizes. Possession without intent to supply sits in Criminal Code Article 296, which is non-custodial at parts 2 and 3, a fine of up to 160 or up to 200 monthly calculation indices or arrest of up to 40 or 50 days, and becomes custodial only at part 4, three to seven years, once the seizure is особо крупный. Consumption in a public place is part 1 of the same article. Supply runs under Article 297 at five to eight years with confiscation for the bare offence and fifteen to twenty years for its heaviest part, and manufacture or processing for supply under Article 297-1, added on 2 January 2025 by law No. 150-VIII, carries life imprisonment at part 4. The row that carries those figures is Кокаин (основание и соли), and for Cocaine the custodial rung therefore opens above 1,0 grams.

[Likely] Carried from the entry published before this batch and not re-derived in this pass: the two middle rungs of that ladder are six to ten years for part 2 and seven to twelve years for part 3.
If prescribed / medical: The Список answers the prescribing question on its own face. The heading of Таблица I is the schedule of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances whose use for medical purposes is prohibited, so Kazakhstan operates no prescribing route for Cocaine and a prescription written abroad does not create one.

Codeine

Legal status: Codeine is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry Кодеин at item 14 of section А of Таблица II of the Список, the schedule of substances used for medical purposes and held under strict control. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row Кодеин (основание и соли), и его лекарственные формы, содержащие не менее 0,015 г. в таб. and sets небольшой размер at 0-0,2 grams, крупный размер at 0,2-10,0 grams and особо крупный размер above 10,0 grams. This row is counted in tablets as well as grams. The небольшой band of 0-0,2 grams is given as one to fourteen tablets of 0,015 grams, the крупный band as fourteen to six hundred and sixty such tablets, and the особо крупный threshold as six hundred and sixty tablets. Low strength codeine preparations are handled separately again: item 1 of Таблица III section А covers preparations of codeine and its relatives combined with other ingredients at not more than 100 mg of the narcotic per dose unit and not more than 2,5 per cent in undivided preparations. Anchoring matters on this entry, because a loose search on the Russian for codeine also returns Ацетилдигидрокодеин, Дигидрокодеин and Норкодеин, which are three other substances in three different places. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement and the figures, both re-derived from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Those sizes decide the charge. Under Criminal Code Article 296 a quantity below крупный draws a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices or arrest of up to 40 days, a крупный quantity up to 200 indices or 50 days, and only an особо крупный quantity carries prison, three to seven years under part 4. Article 296 part 1 is the separate offence of non-medical consumption in a public place. Anything done with intent to supply moves to Article 297, five to eight years with confiscation at part 1 and fifteen to twenty years at part 4, while Article 297-1, which the law of 2 January 2025 No. 150-VIII inserted, punishes manufacture and processing for supply and reaches life imprisonment. The row that carries those figures is Кодеин (основание и соли), и его лекарственные формы, содержащие не менее 0,015 г. в таб. and for Codeine the custodial rung therefore opens above 10,0 grams. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears. [Likely] Carried from the entry published before this batch and not re-derived in this pass: the two middle rungs of that ladder are six to ten years for part 2 and seven to twelve years for part 3.
If prescribed / medical: Таблица II of the Список is headed as the schedule of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances used for medical purposes and held under strict control, so Codeine does have a domestic medical route and it is the tightest one the Список operates. That is a statement about the schedule and not about what any individual pharmacy will dispense to a visitor, and the Resolution does not set import rules for a traveller's own supply. The same Resolution also approves a short Список of veterinary medicines containing controlled substances, and Препараты кодеина appears on it.

Crack Cocaine

Legal status: Crack cocaine is listed as a controlled substance in Kazakhstan, through the cocaine base entry. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry Кокаин, кроме кокаина гидрохлорида at item 37 of section А of Таблица I of the Список, the schedule whose substances are prohibited from use for medical purposes. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row Кокаин (основание и соли) and sets небольшой размер at 0-0,01 grams, крупный размер at 0,01-1,0 grams and особо крупный размер above 1,0 grams. Crack is cocaine in its base form and the Таблица I entry is drawn to catch exactly that, since it lists cocaine while carving out the hydrochloride salt, which sits instead in Таблица II at item 15. The single Сводная таблица row covering основание и соли, base and salts, then applies the same grams to both. Kazakhstan has no separate crack entry and none is needed to reach it. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement and the figures.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Kazakhstan grades the offence by the size band. Criminal Code Article 296 part 2 meets ordinary possession without intent to supply with a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices, corrective labour, community work or arrest of up to 40 days, part 3 meets a крупный quantity with up to 200 indices or 50 days, and part 4 meets an особо крупный quantity with three to seven years of imprisonment. Public non-medical consumption is part 1. Supply is Article 297 at five to eight years with confiscation and up to fifteen to twenty years for its aggravated forms, and Article 297-1, inserted on 2 January 2025 by law No. 150-VIII, covers manufacture and processing for supply with life imprisonment available at part 4. The row that carries those figures is Кокаин (основание и соли), and for Crack cocaine the custodial rung therefore opens above 1,0 grams. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list.

Delta-8-THC

Legal status: Delta-8-THC sits inside a class entry in Kazakhstan's controlled list rather than carrying an entry of its own. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry Тетрагидроканнабинол, все его изомеры и их стереохимические варианты at item 35 of section В of Таблица I of the Список, the schedule whose substances are prohibited from use for medical purposes. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row Тетрагидроканнабинол (его изомеры) and sets небольшой размер at 0-0,05 grams, крупный размер at 0,05-5,0 grams and особо крупный размер above 5,0 grams. This is one of the few genuinely class-drawn entries in the Список. The entry reads tetrahydrocannabinol, all of its isomers and their stereochemical variants, and delta-8-THC is a positional isomer of delta-9, so it is inside the entry without needing the analogue rule. The Сводная таблица repeats the isomer wording in its own row, which means the grams attach to the class and not only to delta-9. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement and the figures, both re-derived from the instrument in this pass.

No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Criminal Code Article 296 governs handling without intent to supply. Part 2 reaches manufacture, processing, acquisition, storage and transport and carries a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices, corrective labour, community work or arrest of up to 40 days. Part 3 raises that to up to 200 indices or arrest of up to 50 days once the quantity is крупный. Part 4 is the first custodial rung and runs to three to seven years once the quantity is особо крупный. Part 1 deals separately with non-medical consumption in a public place. Supply is Article 297, at five to eight years with confiscation, rising through six to ten and seven to twelve to fifteen to twenty years for its aggravated parts, and Article 297-1, inserted by the amending law of 2 January 2025 No. 150-VIII, covers manufacture and processing for supply and reaches life imprisonment at its part 4. The row that carries those figures is Тетрагидроканнабинол (его изомеры), and for Delta-8-THC the custodial rung therefore opens above 5,0 grams. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass.

Diazepam

Legal status: Diazepam is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry Диазепам at item 15 of section В of Таблица III of the Список, the schedule of substances used for medical purposes and held under control. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row Диазепам и другие, обозначенные в таблице III, производные бензодиазепина and sets no небольшой размер band at all, крупный размер at 0,5-5,0 grams and особо крупный размер above 5,0 grams. The Сводная таблица row is drawn as a class row rather than a single substance row: it reads diazepam and the other benzodiazepine derivatives designated in Таблица III. The небольшой column is blank, the крупный band is 0,5 to 5,0 grams given as one hundred to one thousand tablets of 5 mg, and above 5,0 grams is особо крупный. Anchoring matters here, because an unanchored search on the Russian for diazepam also returns Флудиазепам at item 56, which is a different substance. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement and the figures, both re-derived from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. The penalty ladder is read off those sizes. Possession without intent to supply sits in Criminal Code Article 296, which is non-custodial at parts 2 and 3, a fine of up to 160 or up to 200 monthly calculation indices or arrest of up to 40 or 50 days, and becomes custodial only at part 4, three to seven years, once the seizure is особо крупный. Consumption in a public place is part 1 of the same article. Supply runs under Article 297 at five to eight years with confiscation for the bare offence and fifteen to twenty years for its heaviest part, and manufacture or processing for supply under Article 297-1, added on 2 January 2025 by law No. 150-VIII, carries life imprisonment at part 4. On the row Диазепам и другие, обозначенные в таблице III, производные бензодиазепина the table prints no небольшой размер band at all, so for Diazepam the custodial rung opens above 5,0 grams with nothing below it marked as small. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears. [Likely] Carried from the entry published before this batch and not re-derived in this pass: the two middle rungs of that ladder are six to ten years for part 2 and seven to twelve years for part 3.
If prescribed / medical: Таблица III of the Список is headed as the schedule of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances used for medical purposes and held under control, which is the lighter of the two medical schedules, so Diazepam has a domestic prescribing route. The Resolution fixes the schedule and the seizure sizes and says nothing about what a visitor may bring in, so the carriage question is answered by the health ministry's import rules and not by this text. The same Resolution also approves a short Список of veterinary medicines containing controlled substances, and Диазепам appears on it.

DMT

Legal status: DMT is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry ДМТ at item 5 of section В of Таблица I of the Список, the schedule whose substances are prohibited from use for medical purposes. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row Диметилтриптамин (ДМТ) (основание и соли) and sets небольшой размер at 0-0,02 grams, крупный размер at 0,02-1,0 grams and особо крупный размер above 1,0 grams. The Список prints the abbreviation alone and the Сводная таблица spells it out, so the two documents are matched through the Russian abbreviation and not through any Latin one. Diethyltryptamine is listed separately at item 7 with the same three figures. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one.

DOM

Legal status: DOM is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry СТП, ДОМ at item 32 of section В of Таблица I of the Список, the schedule whose substances are prohibited from use for medical purposes. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row СТП, ДОМ (основание и соли) and sets no небольшой размер band at all, крупный размер at 0-0,002 grams and особо крупный размер above 0,002 grams. The небольшой размер column is blank on this row and the крупный band begins at zero, so on the face of the table there is no small size for DOM at all and the особо крупный threshold is 0,002 grams, around a single dose. Brolamfetamine, which is DOB, is item 2 of the same section and is drawn the same way with a 0,001 gram ceiling. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement and the figures, both re-derived from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Kazakhstan grades the offence by the size band. Criminal Code Article 296 part 2 meets ordinary possession without intent to supply with a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices, corrective labour, community work or arrest of up to 40 days, part 3 meets a крупный quantity with up to 200 indices or 50 days, and part 4 meets an особо крупный quantity with three to seven years of imprisonment. Public non-medical consumption is part 1. Supply is Article 297 at five to eight years with confiscation and up to fifteen to twenty years for its aggravated forms, and Article 297-1, inserted on 2 January 2025 by law No. 150-VIII, covers manufacture and processing for supply with life imprisonment available at part 4. On the row СТП, ДОМ (основание и соли) the table prints no небольшой размер band at all, so for DOM the custodial rung opens above 0,002 grams with nothing below it marked as small. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears. [Likely] Carried from the entry published before this batch and not re-derived in this pass: the two middle rungs of that ladder are six to ten years for part 2 and seven to twelve years for part 3.
If prescribed / medical: The Список answers the prescribing question on its own face. The heading of Таблица I is the schedule of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances whose use for medical purposes is prohibited, so Kazakhstan operates no prescribing route for DOM and a prescription written abroad does not create one. A traveller carrying it is in the position Article 296 describes and not in a medical one.

DXM

Legal status: DXM appears in Kazakhstan's controlled list as a bracketed synonym rather than as an entry in its own right. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry Рацеметорфан (декстраметорфан, диморфан) at item 40 of section А of Таблица II of the Список, the schedule of substances used for medical purposes and held under strict control. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row Рацеметорфан (декстраметорфан, диморфан) and sets небольшой размер at 0-0,1 grams, крупный размер at 0,1-1,5 grams and особо крупный размер above 1,5 grams. This is the finding on this row and it runs against the usual international position. Racemethorphan is the scheduled morphinan in most countries and dextromethorphan, its dextrorotatory half, is an ordinary cough medicine. Kazakhstan's entry prints dextromethorphan inside the brackets as a synonym of racemethorphan, in both the Список and the Сводная таблица, and the Resolution gives no separate entry that would exclude it. Read on its face the entry reaches dextromethorphan by name, and that reading is [Likely] rather than [Certain], because it is an inference drawn from a bracketed synonym and not from an entry of its own. The source spells the bracketed word декстраметорфан, with an a where the standard Russian transliteration has an o, and that spelling is reproduced here because it is what the instrument prints. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement and the figures, both re-derived from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Criminal Code Article 296 governs handling without intent to supply. Part 2 reaches manufacture, processing, acquisition, storage and transport and carries a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices, corrective labour, community work or arrest of up to 40 days. Part 3 raises that to up to 200 indices or arrest of up to 50 days once the quantity is крупный. Part 4 is the first custodial rung and runs to three to seven years once the quantity is особо крупный. Part 1 deals separately with non-medical consumption in a public place. Supply is Article 297, at five to eight years with confiscation, rising through six to ten and seven to twelve to fifteen to twenty years for its aggravated parts, and Article 297-1, inserted by the amending law of 2 January 2025 No. 150-VIII, covers manufacture and processing for supply and reaches life imprisonment at its part 4. The row that carries those figures is Рацеметорфан (декстраметорфан, диморфан), and for DXM the custodial rung therefore opens above 1,5 grams. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears.
If prescribed / medical: Таблица II of the Список is headed as the schedule of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances used for medical purposes and held under strict control, so DXM does have a domestic medical route and it is the tightest one the Список operates. That is a statement about the schedule and not about what any individual pharmacy will dispense to a visitor, and the Resolution does not set import rules for a traveller's own supply.

Ephedrine

Legal status: Ephedrine is controlled in Kazakhstan as a precursor rather than as a narcotic drug or a psychotropic substance. The Список approved by Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 carries the entry Эфедрин in Перечень I of Таблица IV of the Список, the precursor schedule, Перечень I being the tighter of its two lists. The Сводная таблица carries a matching row, Эфедрин, which bites at ten per cent or more, printed in the instrument as 10 % и более, and sets небольшой размер at 1,0-10,0 grams, крупный размер at 10,0-50,0 grams and особо крупный размер above 50,0 grams. The concentration column is the feature that makes the precursor table work differently from the other two: a preparation below the stated strength is outside the row even though the substance is listed. The Сводная таблица reaches ephedrine only at a concentration of ten per cent or more, which is a threshold the narcotic and psychotropic tables do not use at all. Pseudoephedrine, norephedrine and N-methylephedrine are separate entries on the same figures. The plant is listed too: Трава эфедры, ephedra herb, is in Перечень I, the Сводная таблица gives Эфедра its own sizes split dried against undried at 200-2000 and 250-2500 grams for the small band, and the cultivation table sets one plant as the large size. Anchoring matters on this name, because an unanchored search on the Russian for ephedrine also returns Катин, printed with норпсевдоэфедрин as its synonym, which is cathine and a different substance in a different schedule. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement, the concentration and the figures, all re-derived from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. The penalty ladder is read off those sizes. Possession without intent to supply sits in Criminal Code Article 296, which is non-custodial at parts 2 and 3, a fine of up to 160 or up to 200 monthly calculation indices or arrest of up to 40 or 50 days, and becomes custodial only at part 4, three to seven years, once the seizure is особо крупный. Consumption in a public place is part 1 of the same article. Supply runs under Article 297 at five to eight years with confiscation for the bare offence and fifteen to twenty years for its heaviest part, and manufacture or processing for supply under Article 297-1, added on 2 January 2025 by law No. 150-VIII, carries life imprisonment at part 4. For Ephedrine the bands come from the precursor table and bite at ten per cent or more, so the custodial rung under Article 296 opens above 50,0 grams of qualifying material. Article 303 of the same Code deals separately with breaches of the rules for handling precursors, which is the offence a licensed handler is more likely to meet than Article 296. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears. [Likely] Carried from the entry published before this batch and not re-derived in this pass: the two middle rungs of that ladder are six to ten years for part 2 and seven to twelve years for part 3. [Certain] Re-derived in this pass: the analogue closer appears six times and closes sections А and В of Таблицы I, II and III only. Таблица IV, the precursor schedule in which this row sits, carries no analogue clause.
If prescribed / medical: Таблица IV is the precursor schedule and it governs chemical and industrial handling rather than prescribing. A precursor listing is not by itself a statement that Ephedrine has or lacks a medical route in Kazakhstan, and this Resolution does not supply one either way. The same Resolution also approves a short Список of veterinary medicines containing controlled substances, and Эфедрин appears on it.

Etizolam

Legal status: Etizolam is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry Этизолам at item 65 of section В of Таблица III of the Список, the schedule of substances used for medical purposes and held under control. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row Этизолам and sets no небольшой размер band at all, крупный размер at 0,5-5,0 grams and особо крупный размер above 5,0 grams. Etizolam is a thienotriazolodiazepine rather than a true benzodiazepine, and Kazakhstan listed it by name rather than leaving it to the class row, which is the safer drafting. It shares the blank небольшой column and the 0,5 gram start with alprazolam. Three designer diazepines follow it at items 68 to 70, clonazolam, diclazepam and flubromazolam, drawn identically. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement and the figures, both re-derived from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Those sizes decide the charge. Under Criminal Code Article 296 a quantity below крупный draws a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices or arrest of up to 40 days, a крупный quantity up to 200 indices or 50 days, and only an особо крупный quantity carries prison, three to seven years under part 4. Article 296 part 1 is the separate offence of non-medical consumption in a public place. Anything done with intent to supply moves to Article 297, five to eight years with confiscation at part 1 and fifteen to twenty years at part 4, while Article 297-1, which the law of 2 January 2025 No. 150-VIII inserted, punishes manufacture and processing for supply and reaches life imprisonment. On the row Этизолам the table prints no небольшой размер band at all, so for Etizolam the custodial rung opens above 5,0 grams with nothing below it marked as small. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears. [Likely] Carried from the entry published before this batch and not re-derived in this pass: the two middle rungs of that ladder are six to ten years for part 2 and seven to twelve years for part 3.
If prescribed / medical: Таблица III of the Список is headed as the schedule of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances used for medical purposes and held under control, which is the lighter of the two medical schedules, so Etizolam has a domestic prescribing route. The Resolution fixes the schedule and the seizure sizes and says nothing about what a visitor may bring in, so the carriage question is answered by the health ministry's import rules and not by this text.

Fentanyl

Legal status: Fentanyl is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry Фентанил at item 49 of section А of Таблица II of the Список, the schedule of substances used for medical purposes and held under strict control. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row Фентанил and sets no небольшой размер band at all, крупный размер at 0-0,0002 grams and особо крупный размер above 0,0002 grams. The небольшой размер column is blank on this row, so on the face of the table fentanyl has no small size: the крупный band runs from zero to 0,0002 grams, expressed as one to twenty ampoules of a 0,005 per cent solution of 2 ml, and anything above twenty such ampoules is особо крупный. Around a dozen fentanyl analogues are separately listed in Таблица I, among them acetylfentanyl, furanylfentanyl, cyclopropylfentanyl, acryloylfentanyl and para-fluorofentanyl, most of them at 0,0002 to 0,001 grams with 0,001 grams as the особо крупный threshold. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement and the figures, both re-derived from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Kazakhstan grades the offence by the size band. Criminal Code Article 296 part 2 meets ordinary possession without intent to supply with a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices, corrective labour, community work or arrest of up to 40 days, part 3 meets a крупный quantity with up to 200 indices or 50 days, and part 4 meets an особо крупный quantity with three to seven years of imprisonment. Public non-medical consumption is part 1. Supply is Article 297 at five to eight years with confiscation and up to fifteen to twenty years for its aggravated forms, and Article 297-1, inserted on 2 January 2025 by law No. 150-VIII, covers manufacture and processing for supply with life imprisonment available at part 4. On the row Фентанил the table prints no небольшой размер band at all, so for Fentanyl the custodial rung opens above 0,0002 grams with nothing below it marked as small. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears. [Likely] Carried from the entry published before this batch and not re-derived in this pass: the two middle rungs of that ladder are six to ten years for part 2 and seven to twelve years for part 3. [Certain] Corrected in this pass: carfentanil is NOT named in this instrument. A search for карфентанил returns no hit anywhere in it, and an earlier version of this cell listed carfentanil relatives among the separately scheduled analogues. The named analogues are real; carfentanil is not among them.
If prescribed / medical: Таблица II of the Список is headed as the schedule of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances used for medical purposes and held under strict control, so Fentanyl does have a domestic medical route and it is the tightest one the Список operates. That is a statement about the schedule and not about what any individual pharmacy will dispense to a visitor, and the Resolution does not set import rules for a traveller's own supply. The same Resolution also approves a short Список of veterinary medicines containing controlled substances, and Фентанил appears on it.

Gabapentin

Legal status: Gabapentin is not controlled by Kazakhstan's Resolution No. 470, on the version of the lists read for this row. Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves three documents in all, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, the Сводная таблица of sizes, a substituent list and a short list of veterinary medicines, and all three were searched. Gabapentin is named nowhere in the Resolution. A search for габапентин across the Список, the Сводная таблица and the precursor schedule returns nothing. The Kazakhstan dossier prepared for this corpus recorded gabapentin as present in the Сводная таблица, and that record does not survive a reading of the instrument. Searches were anchored at the start of each entry name rather than run as free substring matches, because unanchored matching in this document produces false hits: the Russian for codeine matches acetyldihydrocodeine, the Russian for diazepam matches fludiazepam and the Russian for ephedrine matches cathine. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, and a later amendment adding this substance is expressly not ruled out. [Certain] that the substance is absent from all three lists as this version stands, the search having been re-run from the instrument in this pass. [Certain] Re-derived in this pass: an absence from Resolution 470 does not close the question for this row. Kazakhstan runs a separate category of сильнодействующие и ядовитые вещества outside that Resolution, fixed by the Order of the Minister of Health No. 120 of 26 December 2023 approving the List of Potent Substances Having Harmful Effects on Human Life and Health, and punished by Criminal Code Article 301 rather than by Articles 296 and 297. Criminal liability for unlawful trafficking in a listed potent substance took effect on 1 January 2026 under Law No. 150-VIII of 2 January 2025. That list was not reached in this pass, so whether it names this substance is unresolved and is not ruled out either way.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Because Resolution No. 470 does not reach gabapentin, it sets no size bands for it and no threshold can be quoted, so nothing in the criminal ladder below attaches to this substance on the strength of this instrument. Criminal Code Article 296 governs handling without intent to supply. Part 2 reaches manufacture, processing, acquisition, storage and transport and carries a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices, corrective labour, community work or arrest of up to 40 days. Part 3 raises that to up to 200 indices or arrest of up to 50 days once the quantity is крупный. Part 4 is the first custodial rung and runs to three to seven years once the quantity is особо крупный. Part 1 deals separately with non-medical consumption in a public place. Supply is Article 297, at five to eight years with confiscation, rising through six to ten and seven to twelve to fifteen to twenty years for its aggravated parts, and Article 297-1, inserted by the amending law of 2 January 2025 No. 150-VIII, covers manufacture and processing for supply and reaches life imprisonment at its part 4. Every one of those rungs is read off a size band in the Сводная таблица, and for an unlisted substance there is no band to read. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears.
If prescribed / medical: Because the Resolution does not reach gabapentin, it supplies no prescribing rule for it and none is invented here. Kazakhstan runs a separate category of сильнодействующие и ядовитые вещества, potent and poisonous substances, which Criminal Code Article 301 punishes and which is fixed by its own list. That list was not read in this pass, so silence in Resolution No. 470 is not a finding that gabapentin is unregulated in Kazakhstan, only that this instrument does not schedule it.
Documentation: Provenance. All three lists approved by Government Resolution of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approving the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан and the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, the Список in its four tables, the Сводная таблица in its four tables, the substituent list and the veterinary medicines list, were read from the consolidated text at https://zakon.uchet.kz/rus/docs/P1900000470 on 2026-09-21, with the tables parsed by column position.

This cell asserts an absence, so it names the version of the list it read and does not rule out a later one adding Gabapentin.

GBL

Legal status: GBL is controlled in Kazakhstan as a precursor rather than as a narcotic drug or a psychotropic substance. The Список approved by Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 carries the entry Бутиролактон и его изомеры in Перечень I of Таблица IV of the Список, the precursor schedule, Перечень I being the tighter of its two lists. The Сводная таблица carries a matching row, Бутиролактон и его изомеры, which bites at any concentration at all, printed in the instrument as независимо от концентрации, and sets небольшой размер at 0-10,0 grams, крупный размер at 10,0-50,0 grams and особо крупный размер above 50 grams. The concentration column is the feature that makes the precursor table work differently from the other two: a preparation below the stated strength is outside the row even though the substance is listed. The entry reads butyrolactone and its isomers, and the Сводная таблица gives the chemical synonyms as dihydrofuran-2(3H)-one, gamma-butyrolactone and the lactone of 4-hydroxybutanoic acid, so the common name is inside the entry rather than merely near it. The row applies irrespective of concentration, which is the strictest of the three concentration settings the precursor table uses. 1,4-butanediol is a separate entry at a fifteen per cent threshold. The Kazakhstan dossier prepared for this corpus recorded no entry for GBL, and that record is wrong on the face of the instrument. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement, the concentration and the figures, all re-derived from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. The penalty ladder is read off those sizes. Possession without intent to supply sits in Criminal Code Article 296, which is non-custodial at parts 2 and 3, a fine of up to 160 or up to 200 monthly calculation indices or arrest of up to 40 or 50 days, and becomes custodial only at part 4, three to seven years, once the seizure is особо крупный. Consumption in a public place is part 1 of the same article. Supply runs under Article 297 at five to eight years with confiscation for the bare offence and fifteen to twenty years for its heaviest part, and manufacture or processing for supply under Article 297-1, added on 2 January 2025 by law No. 150-VIII, carries life imprisonment at part 4. For GBL the bands come from the precursor table and bite at any concentration at all, so the custodial rung under Article 296 opens above 50 grams of qualifying material. Article 303 of the same Code deals separately with breaches of the rules for handling precursors, which is the offence a licensed handler is more likely to meet than Article 296. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears. [Likely] Carried from the entry published before this batch and not re-derived in this pass: the two middle rungs of that ladder are six to ten years for part 2 and seven to twelve years for part 3. [Certain] Re-derived in this pass: the analogue closer appears six times and closes sections А and В of Таблицы I, II and III only. Таблица IV, the precursor schedule in which this row sits, carries no analogue clause.
If prescribed / medical: Таблица IV is the precursor schedule and it governs chemical and industrial handling rather than prescribing. A precursor listing is not by itself a statement that GBL has or lacks a medical route in Kazakhstan, and this Resolution does not supply one either way.

GHB

Legal status: GHB is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry Гамма-оксимасляная кислота (ГОМК) at item 16 of section В of Таблица II of the Список, the schedule of substances used for medical purposes and held under strict control. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row ГОМК - гамма - оксимасляная кислота and sets небольшой размер at 0-0,6 grams, крупный размер at 0,6-30,0 grams and особо крупный размер above 30,0 grams. The two documents print the name in opposite orders, the Список leading with the full Russian name and the Сводная таблица leading with the abbreviation, so both spellings had to be checked to match the rows. The precursor route matters here too: gamma-butyrolactone and 1,4-butanediol are both in the precursor schedule, so the lactone and the diol are reached even where the acid is not. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement and the figures, both re-derived from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Those sizes decide the charge. Under Criminal Code Article 296 a quantity below крупный draws a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices or arrest of up to 40 days, a крупный quantity up to 200 indices or 50 days, and only an особо крупный quantity carries prison, three to seven years under part 4. Article 296 part 1 is the separate offence of non-medical consumption in a public place. Anything done with intent to supply moves to Article 297, five to eight years with confiscation at part 1 and fifteen to twenty years at part 4, while Article 297-1, which the law of 2 January 2025 No. 150-VIII inserted, punishes manufacture and processing for supply and reaches life imprisonment. The row that carries those figures is ГОМК - гамма - оксимасляная кислота, and for GHB the custodial rung therefore opens above 30,0 grams. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears. [Likely] Carried from the entry published before this batch and not re-derived in this pass: the two middle rungs of that ladder are six to ten years for part 2 and seven to twelve years for part 3.
If prescribed / medical: Таблица II of the Список is headed as the schedule of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances used for medical purposes and held under strict control, so GHB does have a domestic medical route and it is the tightest one the Список operates. That is a statement about the schedule and not about what any individual pharmacy will dispense to a visitor, and the Resolution does not set import rules for a traveller's own supply.

Heroin

Legal status: Heroin is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry Героин at item 20 of section А of Таблица I of the Список, the schedule whose substances are prohibited from use for medical purposes. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row Героин, включая сопутствующие вещества и наполнители and sets небольшой размер at 0-0,01 grams, крупный размер at 0,01-1,0 grams and особо крупный размер above 1,0 grams. The size row is drawn to include accompanying substances and fillers, so it is the weight of the seized material and not of the pure base that is measured. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement and the figures, both re-derived from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Kazakhstan grades the offence by the size band. Criminal Code Article 296 part 2 meets ordinary possession without intent to supply with a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices, corrective labour, community work or arrest of up to 40 days, part 3 meets a крупный quantity with up to 200 indices or 50 days, and part 4 meets an особо крупный quantity with three to seven years of imprisonment. Public non-medical consumption is part 1. Supply is Article 297 at five to eight years with confiscation and up to fifteen to twenty years for its aggravated forms, and Article 297-1, inserted on 2 January 2025 by law No. 150-VIII, covers manufacture and processing for supply with life imprisonment available at part 4. The row that carries those figures is Героин, включая сопутствующие вещества и наполнители, and for Heroin the custodial rung therefore opens above 1,0 grams. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass.

[Likely] Carried from the entry published before this batch and not re-derived in this pass: the two middle rungs of that ladder are six to ten years for part 2 and seven to twelve years for part 3. [Certain] Re-derived in this pass, and it is a general rule rather than a feature of this row: the Сводная таблица carries a footnote after Таблица I and again after Таблица II reading «Размеры распространяются на смеси (препараты) указанного наркотического средства и его аналогов», and 267 of its 297 substantive rows carry the asterisk that invokes it. The gram column is active-ingredient mass, reconciled against the table's own tablet and ampoule equivalences, and the footnote extends coverage to mixtures without changing that basis. A closing note applies the same treatment to solutions, extracts and impregnated carriers by extraction and dry residue.
If prescribed / medical: The Список answers the prescribing question on its own face. The heading of Таблица I is the schedule of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances whose use for medical purposes is prohibited, so Kazakhstan operates no prescribing route for Heroin and a prescription written abroad does not create one. A traveller carrying it is in the position Article 296 describes and not in a medical one.

HHC

Legal status: HHC is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry Гексагидроканнабинол at item 64 of section В of Таблица I of the Список, the schedule whose substances are prohibited from use for medical purposes. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row Гексагидроканнабинол and sets небольшой размер at 0-0,025 grams, крупный размер at 0,025-0,75 grams and особо крупный размер above 0,75 grams. Hexahydrocannabinol is not an isomer of tetrahydrocannabinol, it is the hydrogenated compound, so the isomer clause at item 35 would not have caught it. Kazakhstan listed it by name instead, at the end of the section, and gave it its own grams, which are tighter than the tetrahydrocannabinol row by a factor of about seven. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one.

Criminal Code Article 296 governs handling without intent to supply. Part 2 reaches manufacture, processing, acquisition, storage and transport and carries a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices, corrective labour, community work or arrest of up to 40 days. Part 3 raises that to up to 200 indices or arrest of up to 50 days once the quantity is крупный. Part 4 is the first custodial rung and runs to three to seven years once the quantity is особо крупный. Part 1 deals separately with non-medical consumption in a public place. Supply is Article 297, at five to eight years with confiscation, rising through six to ten and seven to twelve to fifteen to twenty years for its aggravated parts, and Article 297-1, inserted by the amending law of 2 January 2025 No. 150-VIII, covers manufacture and processing for supply and reaches life imprisonment at its part 4. The row that carries those figures is Гексагидроканнабинол, and for HHC the custodial rung therefore opens above 0,75 grams. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence.

Hydrocodone

Legal status: Hydrocodone is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry Гидрокодон at item 6 of section А of Таблица II of the Список, the schedule of substances used for medical purposes and held under strict control. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row Гидрокодон and sets небольшой размер at 0-0,2 grams, крупный размер at 0,2-10,0 grams and особо крупный размер above 10,0 grams. Hydromorphone and hydromorphinol sit at items 8 and 7 on identical figures. Hydrocodone is also one of the eighteen narcotic drugs on the veterinary list the same Resolution approves. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement and the figures, both re-derived from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. The penalty ladder is read off those sizes. Possession without intent to supply sits in Criminal Code Article 296, which is non-custodial at parts 2 and 3, a fine of up to 160 or up to 200 monthly calculation indices or arrest of up to 40 or 50 days, and becomes custodial only at part 4, three to seven years, once the seizure is особо крупный. Consumption in a public place is part 1 of the same article. Supply runs under Article 297 at five to eight years with confiscation for the bare offence and fifteen to twenty years for its heaviest part, and manufacture or processing for supply under Article 297-1, added on 2 January 2025 by law No. 150-VIII, carries life imprisonment at part 4. The row that carries those figures is Гидрокодон, and for Hydrocodone the custodial rung therefore opens above 10,0 grams. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears. [Likely] Carried from the entry published before this batch and not re-derived in this pass: the two middle rungs of that ladder are six to ten years for part 2 and seven to twelve years for part 3.
If prescribed / medical: Таблица II of the Список is headed as the schedule of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances used for medical purposes and held under strict control, so Hydrocodone does have a domestic medical route and it is the tightest one the Список operates. That is a statement about the schedule and not about what any individual pharmacy will dispense to a visitor, and the Resolution does not set import rules for a traveller's own supply. The same Resolution also approves a short Список of veterinary medicines containing controlled substances, and Гидрокодон appears on it.

Ketamine

Legal status: Ketamine is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry Кетамин at item 67 of section В of Таблица III of the Список, the schedule of substances used for medical purposes and held under control. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row Кетамин and sets no небольшой размер band at all, крупный размер at 0-0,01 grams and особо крупный размер above 0,01 grams. The небольшой размер column is blank on this row. The крупный band runs from zero to 0,01 grams and anything above 0,01 grams is особо крупный. That ceiling is 10 milligrams, well below a single recreational dose, so the custodial rung of Article 296 opens at a weight most people would not recognise as a quantity at all. Kazakhstan added ketamine to Таблица III rather than to the prohibited schedule, so the veterinary and anaesthetic uses survive. 3-methoxyphencyclidine, added at item 62 of Таблица I, is drawn in exactly the same shape. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement and the figures, both re-derived from the instrument in this pass.

No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Those sizes decide the charge. Under Criminal Code Article 296 a quantity below крупный draws a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices or arrest of up to 40 days, a крупный quantity up to 200 indices or 50 days, and only an особо крупный quantity carries prison, three to seven years under part 4. Article 296 part 1 is the separate offence of non-medical consumption in a public place. Anything done with intent to supply moves to Article 297, five to eight years with confiscation at part 1 and fifteen to twenty years at part 4, while Article 297-1, which the law of 2 January 2025 No. 150-VIII inserted, punishes manufacture and processing for supply and reaches life imprisonment. On the row Кетамин the table prints no небольшой размер band at all, so for Ketamine the custodial rung opens above 0,01 grams with nothing below it marked as small. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass.

If prescribed / medical: Таблица III of the Список is headed as the schedule of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances used for medical purposes and held under control, which is the lighter of the two medical schedules, so Ketamine has a domestic prescribing route. The Resolution fixes the schedule and the seizure sizes and says nothing about what a visitor may bring in, so the carriage question is answered by the health ministry's import rules and not by this text.

Khat

Legal status: Khat is a plant and Kazakhstan's Resolution works on substances, so the answer on this row is split. The plant is named in the Resolution, but in the cultivation table rather than in the Список. Таблица IV of the Сводная таблица, which sets the sizes for unlawful cultivation, lists under the heading of plants that do not grow in Kazakhstan for climatic reasons and are prohibited from cultivation there two items, кокаиновый куст, the coca bush, and кат, khat, each at one plant for the large size. The note attached to that heading says cultivating them would create a new and dangerous problem for the country. Both of the plant's alkaloids are separately scheduled: Катинон, cathinone, is item 8 of Таблица I section В at 0-0,02 grams, 0,02-1,0 grams and above 1,0 grams, and Катин, cathine, printed with норпсевдоэфедрин as its synonym, is item 18 of Таблица III section В at 0-0,2 grams, 0,2-3,0 grams and above 3,0 grams. A three letter Russian search on the plant name returns both alkaloid entries and neither is the plant, which is why the cultivation table had to be read separately. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, and a later amendment is not ruled out. [Certain] on every entry and figure quoted, all re-derived from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Kazakhstan grades the offence by the size band. Criminal Code Article 296 part 2 meets ordinary possession without intent to supply with a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices, corrective labour, community work or arrest of up to 40 days, part 3 meets a крупный quantity with up to 200 indices or 50 days, and part 4 meets an особо крупный quantity with three to seven years of imprisonment. Public non-medical consumption is part 1. Supply is Article 297 at five to eight years with confiscation and up to fifteen to twenty years for its aggravated forms, and Article 297-1, inserted on 2 January 2025 by law No. 150-VIII, covers manufacture and processing for supply with life imprisonment available at part 4. Which of those bands applies to a seizure of khat depends on what the material is measured as, because the Resolution sets grams for the listed substances and not for the raw plant, except where the cultivation table sets a number of plants instead. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears. [Likely] Carried from the entry published before this batch and not re-derived in this pass: the two middle rungs of that ladder are six to ten years for part 2 and seven to twelve years for part 3.
If prescribed / medical: The Resolution answers the prescribing question for the listed substances and not for the plant. Nothing in it creates a medical route for Khat as plant material, and a foreign prescription would not supply one. Where the listed alkaloid sits in Таблица I of the Список, medical use of that alkaloid is prohibited outright, so no prescribing route exists on that side either.

Kratom

Legal status: Kratom is a plant and Kazakhstan's Resolution works on substances, so the answer on this row is split. The plant is not named in the Resolution and its two principal alkaloids are. Митрагинин, mitragynine, is item 74 of Таблица I section А, among the narcotic drugs whose medical use is prohibited, at 0-0,01 grams, 0,01-1,0 grams and above 1,0 grams, which is the heroin and cocaine pattern. 7-Гидроксимитрагинин is item 91 of the same section at 0-0,008 grams and 0,008-0,024 grams, with the особо крупный column reading above 0,24 grams, a figure that leaves a gap between the bands and is recorded here as printed. Leaf is therefore not a listed article by name while the alkaloids in it are listed narcotic drugs, and the cultivation table names only the coca bush, khat, the opium poppy and ephedra. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, and a later amendment is not ruled out. [Certain] on every entry and figure quoted, all re-derived from the instrument in this pass.

No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Criminal Code Article 296 governs handling without intent to supply. Part 2 reaches manufacture, processing, acquisition, storage and transport and carries a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices, corrective labour, community work or arrest of up to 40 days. Part 3 raises that to up to 200 indices or arrest of up to 50 days once the quantity is крупный. Part 4 is the first custodial rung and runs to three to seven years once the quantity is особо крупный. Part 1 deals separately with non-medical consumption in a public place. Supply is Article 297, at five to eight years with confiscation, rising through six to ten and seven to twelve to fifteen to twenty years for its aggravated parts, and Article 297-1, inserted by the amending law of 2 January 2025 No. 150-VIII, covers manufacture and processing for supply and reaches life imprisonment at its part 4. Which of those bands applies to a seizure of kratom depends on what the material is measured as, because the Resolution sets grams for the listed substances and not for the raw plant, except where the cultivation table sets a number of plants instead. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence.

Lorazepam

Legal status: Lorazepam is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry Лоразепам at item 27 of section В of Таблица III of the Список, the schedule of substances used for medical purposes and held under control. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row Лоразепам and sets небольшой размер at 0-0,5 grams, крупный размер at 0,5-5,0 grams and особо крупный размер above 5,0 grams. Lorazepam is one of the benzodiazepines that does carry an express небольшой band of 0-0,5 grams, unlike alprazolam and clonazepam, whose first column is blank. Anchoring matters on this name, because an unanchored search on the Russian also returns Делоразепам, which is a different substance at item 14.

LSD

Legal status: LSD is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry (+)-Лизергид, ЛСД, ЛСД 25 at item 9 of section В of Таблица I of the Список, the schedule whose substances are prohibited from use for medical purposes. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row (+)-Лизергид (ЛСД, ЛСД-25) and sets no небольшой размер band at all, крупный размер at 0-0,0001 grams and особо крупный размер above 0,0001 grams. The shape of this row is the finding. The небольшой размер column is blank, the крупный band runs from zero to 0,0001 grams and anything above 0,0001 grams is особо крупный. There is therefore no small size for lysergide in Kazakhstan at all, and 0,0001 grams is 100 micrograms, which is about one ordinary dose, so two tabs of blotter already sit in the particularly large band that carries the custodial rung. The entry is filed under the international name with both familiar abbreviations printed after it, which is why a search on the abbreviation alone does not land at the start of the entry. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement and the figures, both re-derived from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Kazakhstan grades the offence by the size band. Criminal Code Article 296 part 2 meets ordinary possession without intent to supply with a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices, corrective labour, community work or arrest of up to 40 days, part 3 meets a крупный quantity with up to 200 indices or 50 days, and part 4 meets an особо крупный quantity with three to seven years of imprisonment. Public non-medical consumption is part 1. Supply is Article 297 at five to eight years with confiscation and up to fifteen to twenty years for its aggravated forms, and Article 297-1, inserted on 2 January 2025 by law No. 150-VIII, covers manufacture and processing for supply with life imprisonment available at part 4. On the row (+)-Лизергид (ЛСД, ЛСД-25) the table prints no небольшой размер band at all, so for LSD the custodial rung opens above 0,0001 grams with nothing below it marked as small. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears. [Likely] Carried from the entry published before this batch and not re-derived in this pass: the two middle rungs of that ladder are six to ten years for part 2 and seven to twelve years for part 3.
If prescribed / medical: The Список answers the prescribing question on its own face. The heading of Таблица I is the schedule of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances whose use for medical purposes is prohibited, so Kazakhstan operates no prescribing route for LSD and a prescription written abroad does not create one. A traveller carrying it is in the position Article 296 describes and not in a medical one.

MDA

Legal status: MDA is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry Тенамфетамин, МДА at item 33 of section В of Таблица I of the Список, the schedule whose substances are prohibited from use for medical purposes. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row Тенамфетамин (МДА), (основание и соли) and sets небольшой размер at 0-0,02 grams, крупный размер at 0,02-1,0 grams and особо крупный размер above 1,0 grams. The instrument files MDA under its international name, tenamfetamine, and gives the familiar abbreviation second. A search on the abbreviation alone reaches it only because the drafter printed both. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one.

Criminal Code Article 296 governs handling without intent to supply. Part 2 reaches manufacture, processing, acquisition, storage and transport and carries a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices, corrective labour, community work or arrest of up to 40 days. Part 3 raises that to up to 200 indices or arrest of up to 50 days once the quantity is крупный. Part 4 is the first custodial rung and runs to three to seven years once the quantity is особо крупный. Part 1 deals separately with non-medical consumption in a public place. Supply is Article 297, at five to eight years with confiscation, rising through six to ten and seven to twelve to fifteen to twenty years for its aggravated parts, and Article 297-1, inserted by the amending law of 2 January 2025 No. 150-VIII, covers manufacture and processing for supply and reaches life imprisonment at its part 4. The row that carries those figures is Тенамфетамин (МДА), (основание и соли), and for MDA the custodial rung therefore opens above 1,0 grams. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence.

MDMA

Legal status: MDMA is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry MДMA at item 10 of section В of Таблица I of the Список, the schedule whose substances are prohibited from use for medical purposes. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row МДМА (основание и соли) and sets небольшой размер at 0-0,02 grams, крупный размер at 0,02-1,0 grams and особо крупный размер above 1,0 grams. The Список entry is printed in mixed script, with Latin letters standing in for two of the Cyrillic ones, so a Latin keyboard search for the abbreviation matches the Список entry while a Cyrillic one matches the Сводная таблица entry. Both were checked. Tenamfetamine, which is MDA, is item 33 and N-ethyl-MDA and N-hydroxy-MDA have their own rows. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement and the figures, both re-derived from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. The penalty ladder is read off those sizes. Possession without intent to supply sits in Criminal Code Article 296, which is non-custodial at parts 2 and 3, a fine of up to 160 or up to 200 monthly calculation indices or arrest of up to 40 or 50 days, and becomes custodial only at part 4, three to seven years, once the seizure is особо крупный. Consumption in a public place is part 1 of the same article. Supply runs under Article 297 at five to eight years with confiscation for the bare offence and fifteen to twenty years for its heaviest part, and manufacture or processing for supply under Article 297-1, added on 2 January 2025 by law No. 150-VIII, carries life imprisonment at part 4. The row that carries those figures is МДМА (основание и соли), and for MDMA the custodial rung therefore opens above 1,0 grams. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence.

MDPV

Legal status: MDPV is not named in Kazakhstan's controlled list, and the route that reaches it is the analogue rule rather than an entry of its own. Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves three documents and the third of them is the Список заместителей атомов водорода, галогенов и (или) гидроксильных групп в структурных формулах наркотических средств, психотропных веществ, a list of 82 live monovalent and 15 live divalent substituents, the monovalent keys running 1.1 to 1.75 with seven inserted at 1.2-1, 1.2-2, 1.2-3, 1.2-4, 1.43-1, 1.49-1 and 1.55-1, and 2.16 repealed. Each table of the Список closes with a line extending it to analogues of the substances in that section, and the Сводная таблица states that the sizes for an analogue are the sizes of the substance it is an analogue of. The parent entry here is 2-(пирролидин-1-ил)-1-фенилпентан-1-он (альфа-PVP) at item 46 of Таблица I section В, whose sizes are 0-0,01 grams, 0,01-1,0 grams and above 1,0 grams. MDPV is alpha-PVP carrying a methylenedioxy bridge across two ring positions where the listed compound carries two hydrogens. The butanone homologue MDPBP is listed outright at item 44, and pyrovalerone itself is item 45 of Таблица III, so the family sits close on both sides of this compound. The substituent relied on is метилендиокси, methylenedioxy, which the list carries as a divalent substituent, item 2.4 of the substituent list. [Certain] that the parent entry, its sizes and the substituent all appear as described, all three re-derived from the instrument in this pass. [Likely] that the analogue rule reaches MDPV, because applying it is a chemical judgement that an expert report makes in the individual case and not something the text performs by itself. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, and a later amendment adding this substance by name is not ruled out. The list read for this row is the Список approved by Postanovlenie Pravitelstva Respubliki Kazakhstan No. 470, in the redaction of 24 February 2026 No. 111, which the copy read states at its own Snoska and in its metadata panel. [Likely] No later redaction was read in this pass, so a subsequent one naming this substance outright is not ruled out and this absence is stated as at that version rather than as at today, and it does not rule out a later redaction.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Those sizes decide the charge. Under Criminal Code Article 296 a quantity below крупный draws a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices or arrest of up to 40 days, a крупный quantity up to 200 indices or 50 days, and only an особо крупный quantity carries prison, three to seven years under part 4. Article 296 part 1 is the separate offence of non-medical consumption in a public place. Anything done with intent to supply moves to Article 297, five to eight years with confiscation at part 1 and fifteen to twenty years at part 4, while Article 297-1, which the law of 2 January 2025 No. 150-VIII inserted, punishes manufacture and processing for supply and reaches life imprisonment. The size band that decides all of this comes from the parent entry, 2-(пирролидин-1-ил)-1-фенилпентан-1-он (альфа-PVP), whose figures are 0-0,01 grams, 0,01-1,0 grams and above 1,0 grams, because the Сводная таблица assigns an analogue the sizes of the substance it is an analogue of. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears. [Likely] Carried from the entry published before this batch and not re-derived in this pass: the two middle rungs of that ladder are six to ten years for part 2 and seven to twelve years for part 3.
If prescribed / medical: The Resolution gives MDPV no entry of its own, so it gives it no prescribing route either. The parent entry sits in a schedule that does carry a medical characterisation, but an analogue is reached for the purposes of control and seizure sizes rather than being placed in a schedule with a medical status, so nothing here creates a prescription route for MDPV and a foreign prescription would not supply one.
Documentation: Provenance. The parent entry, its size row and the substituent list were all read from the consolidated text of Government Resolution of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approving the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан and the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes at https://zakon.uchet.kz/rus/docs/P1900000470 on 2026-09-21, with the tables parsed by column position so that a blank небольшой размер cell is read as blank. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, and this cell records an absence of a named entry, so a later amendment adding MDPV by name is expressly not ruled out. Russian names are quoted as the instrument prints them, with the Список entries put into ordinary case because the list prints them in capitals.

Memantine

Legal status: Memantine is not controlled by Kazakhstan's Resolution No. 470, on the version of the lists read for this row. Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves three documents in all, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, the Сводная таблица of sizes, a substituent list and a short list of veterinary medicines, and all three were searched. Memantine is named nowhere in the Resolution. A search for мемантин across the Список, the Сводная таблица and the precursor schedule returns nothing. Two related adamantane fragments do appear, but in the substituent list rather than as substances: адамантанил and адамантаниламино are items 1.1 and 1.2 of the Список заместителей, and their function there is to define analogues of listed cannabinoids such as APINACA, not to schedule memantine. Searches were anchored at the start of each entry name rather than run as free substring matches, because unanchored matching in this document produces false hits: the Russian for codeine matches acetyldihydrocodeine, the Russian for diazepam matches fludiazepam and the Russian for ephedrine matches cathine. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, and a later amendment adding this substance is expressly not ruled out. [Certain] that the substance is absent from all three lists as this version stands, the search having been re-run from the instrument in this pass. [Certain] Re-derived in this pass: an absence from Resolution 470 does not close the question for this row. Kazakhstan runs a separate category of сильнодействующие и ядовитые вещества outside that Resolution, fixed by the Order of the Minister of Health No. 120 of 26 December 2023 approving the List of Potent Substances Having Harmful Effects on Human Life and Health, and punished by Criminal Code Article 301 rather than by Articles 296 and 297. Criminal liability for unlawful trafficking in a listed potent substance took effect on 1 January 2026 under Law No. 150-VIII of 2 January 2025. That list was not reached in this pass, so whether it names this substance is unresolved and is not ruled out either way.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Because Resolution No. 470 does not reach memantine, it sets no size bands for it and no threshold can be quoted, so nothing in the criminal ladder below attaches to this substance on the strength of this instrument. Kazakhstan grades the offence by the size band. Criminal Code Article 296 part 2 meets ordinary possession without intent to supply with a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices, corrective labour, community work or arrest of up to 40 days, part 3 meets a крупный quantity with up to 200 indices or 50 days, and part 4 meets an особо крупный quantity with three to seven years of imprisonment. Public non-medical consumption is part 1. Supply is Article 297 at five to eight years with confiscation and up to fifteen to twenty years for its aggravated forms, and Article 297-1, inserted on 2 January 2025 by law No. 150-VIII, covers manufacture and processing for supply with life imprisonment available at part 4. Every one of those rungs is read off a size band in the Сводная таблица, and for an unlisted substance there is no band to read. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears. [Likely] Carried from the entry published before this batch and not re-derived in this pass: the two middle rungs of that ladder are six to ten years for part 2 and seven to twelve years for part 3.
If prescribed / medical: Because the Resolution does not reach memantine, it supplies no prescribing rule for it and none is invented here. Kazakhstan runs a separate category of сильнодействующие и ядовитые вещества, potent and poisonous substances, which Criminal Code Article 301 punishes and which is fixed by its own list. That list was not read in this pass, so silence in Resolution No. 470 is not a finding that memantine is unregulated in Kazakhstan, only that this instrument does not schedule it.
Documentation: Provenance. All three lists approved by Government Resolution of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approving the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан and the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, the Список in its four tables, the Сводная таблица in its four tables, the substituent list and the veterinary medicines list, were read from the consolidated text at https://zakon.uchet.kz/rus/docs/P1900000470 on 2026-09-21, with the tables parsed by column position. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text. This cell asserts an absence, so it names the version of the list it read and does not rule out a later one adding Memantine.

Mephedrone (4-MMC)

Legal status: Mephedrone is not named in Kazakhstan's controlled list, and the route that reaches it is the analogue rule rather than an entry of its own. Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves three documents and the third of them is the Список заместителей атомов водорода, галогенов и (или) гидроксильных групп в структурных формулах наркотических средств, психотропных веществ, a list of 82 live monovalent and 15 live divalent substituents, the monovalent keys running 1.1 to 1.75 with seven inserted at 1.2-1, 1.2-2, 1.2-3, 1.2-4, 1.43-1, 1.49-1 and 1.55-1, and 2.16 repealed. Each table of the Список closes with a line extending it to analogues of the substances in that section, and the Сводная таблица states that the sizes for an analogue are the sizes of the substance it is an analogue of. The parent entry here is Меткатинон (эфедрон) at item 23 of Таблица I section В, whose sizes are 0-0,02 grams, 0,02-1,5 grams and above 1,5 grams. Mephedrone is methcathinone carrying a methyl group on the ring where the listed compound carries a hydrogen. Several close cathinones are listed outright, among them pentedrone, the alpha-pyrrolidinophenones and eutylone, so the family is well represented in the schedule even though this member is not named. The substituent relied on is метил, methyl, item 1.21 of the substituent list. [Certain] that the parent entry, its sizes and the substituent all appear as described, all three re-derived from the instrument in this pass. [Likely] that the analogue rule reaches Mephedrone, because applying it is a chemical judgement that an expert report makes in the individual case and not something the text performs by itself. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, and a later amendment adding this substance by name is not ruled out. The list read for this row is the Список approved by Postanovlenie Pravitelstva Respubliki Kazakhstan No. 470, in the redaction of 24 February 2026 No. 111, which the copy read states at its own Snoska and in its metadata panel. [Likely] No later redaction was read in this pass, so a subsequent one naming this substance outright is not ruled out and this absence is stated as at that version rather than as at today, and it does not rule out a later redaction.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Criminal Code Article 296 governs handling without intent to supply. Part 2 reaches manufacture, processing, acquisition, storage and transport and carries a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices, corrective labour, community work or arrest of up to 40 days. Part 3 raises that to up to 200 indices or arrest of up to 50 days once the quantity is крупный. Part 4 is the first custodial rung and runs to three to seven years once the quantity is особо крупный. Part 1 deals separately with non-medical consumption in a public place. Supply is Article 297, at five to eight years with confiscation, rising through six to ten and seven to twelve to fifteen to twenty years for its aggravated parts, and Article 297-1, inserted by the amending law of 2 January 2025 No. 150-VIII, covers manufacture and processing for supply and reaches life imprisonment at its part 4. The size band that decides all of this comes from the parent entry, Меткатинон (эфедрон), whose figures are 0-0,02 grams, 0,02-1,5 grams and above 1,5 grams, because the Сводная таблица assigns an analogue the sizes of the substance it is an analogue of. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears.
If prescribed / medical: The Resolution gives Mephedrone no entry of its own, so it gives it no prescribing route either. The parent entry sits in a schedule that does carry a medical characterisation, but an analogue is reached for the purposes of control and seizure sizes rather than being placed in a schedule with a medical status, so nothing here creates a prescription route for Mephedrone and a foreign prescription would not supply one.
Documentation: Provenance. The parent entry, its size row and the substituent list were all read from the consolidated text of Government Resolution of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approving the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан and the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes at https://zakon.uchet.kz/rus/docs/P1900000470 on 2026-09-21, with the tables parsed by column position so that a blank небольшой размер cell is read as blank. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, and this cell records an absence of a named entry, so a later amendment adding Mephedrone by name is expressly not ruled out. Russian names are quoted as the instrument prints them, with the Список entries put into ordinary case because the list prints them in capitals.

Mescaline

Legal status: Mescaline is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry Мескалин at item 17 of section В of Таблица I of the Список, the schedule whose substances are prohibited from use for medical purposes. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row Мескалин (основание и соли) and sets небольшой размер at 0-0,3 grams, крупный размер at 0,3-5,0 grams and особо крупный размер above 5,0 grams. The size row covers base and salts together. Mescaline's grams are among the more generous in Таблица II of the Сводная таблица, an order of magnitude above the tryptamines, which reflects the dose rather than any lighter view of the substance. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement and the figures, both re-derived from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. The penalty ladder is read off those sizes. Possession without intent to supply sits in Criminal Code Article 296, which is non-custodial at parts 2 and 3, a fine of up to 160 or up to 200 monthly calculation indices or arrest of up to 40 or 50 days, and becomes custodial only at part 4, three to seven years, once the seizure is особо крупный. Consumption in a public place is part 1 of the same article. Supply runs under Article 297 at five to eight years with confiscation for the bare offence and fifteen to twenty years for its heaviest part, and manufacture or processing for supply under Article 297-1, added on 2 January 2025 by law No. 150-VIII, carries life imprisonment at part 4. The row that carries those figures is Мескалин (основание и соли), and for Mescaline the custodial rung therefore opens above 5,0 grams. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears. [Likely] Carried from the entry published before this batch and not re-derived in this pass: the two middle rungs of that ladder are six to ten years for part 2 and seven to twelve years for part 3.
If prescribed / medical: The Список answers the prescribing question on its own face. The heading of Таблица I is the schedule of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances whose use for medical purposes is prohibited, so Kazakhstan operates no prescribing route for Mescaline and a prescription written abroad does not create one. A traveller carrying it is in the position Article 296 describes and not in a medical one.
Documentation: Provenance. The placement and the grams on this row were read from the consolidated text of Government Resolution of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approving the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан and the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes at https://zakon.uchet.kz/rus/docs/P1900000470, which is the state legal information system's copy, on 2026-09-21. The tables were parsed by column position rather than by reading them as a stream of lines, which matters because a blank небольшой размер cell is a real feature of this table and a line reader silently shifts the remaining figures one column left. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text.

Methadone

Legal status: Methadone is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry Метадон at item 20-1 of section А of Таблица II of the Список, the schedule of substances used for medical purposes and held under strict control. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row Метадон (основание и соли) and sets небольшой размер at 0-0,01 grams, крупный размер at 0,01-1,0 grams and особо крупный размер above 1,0 grams. The item number carries a hyphenated suffix, 20-1, which is how Kazakhstan marks an entry inserted between two existing ones rather than renumbering the schedule. The methadone intermediate is a separate entry in Таблица I at item 40 and carries the same grams, as do isomethadone and normethadone. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement and the figures, both re-derived from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Those sizes decide the charge. Under Criminal Code Article 296 a quantity below крупный draws a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices or arrest of up to 40 days, a крупный quantity up to 200 indices or 50 days, and only an особо крупный quantity carries prison, three to seven years under part 4. Article 296 part 1 is the separate offence of non-medical consumption in a public place. Anything done with intent to supply moves to Article 297, five to eight years with confiscation at part 1 and fifteen to twenty years at part 4, while Article 297-1, which the law of 2 January 2025 No. 150-VIII inserted, punishes manufacture and processing for supply and reaches life imprisonment. The row that carries those figures is Метадон (основание и соли), and for Methadone the custodial rung therefore opens above 1,0 grams. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears. [Likely] Carried from the entry published before this batch and not re-derived in this pass: the two middle rungs of that ladder are six to ten years for part 2 and seven to twelve years for part 3.
If prescribed / medical: Таблица II of the Список is headed as the schedule of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances used for medical purposes and held under strict control, so Methadone does have a domestic medical route and it is the tightest one the Список operates. That is a statement about the schedule and not about what any individual pharmacy will dispense to a visitor, and the Resolution does not set import rules for a traveller's own supply.
Documentation: Provenance.

Methamphetamine

Legal status: Methamphetamine is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry Метамфетамин (первитин) at item 19 of section В of Таблица I of the Список, the schedule whose substances are prohibited from use for medical purposes. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row Метамфетамин, первитин (основание и соли, включая сопутствующие вещества) and sets небольшой размер at 0-0,02 grams, крупный размер at 0,02-1,5 grams and особо крупный размер above 1,5 grams. The racemate is listed separately at item 20 with identical figures, and levomethamphetamine sits in Таблица II section В with much larger ones, 0-0,2 grams, 0,2-3,0 grams and above 3,0 grams. The methamphetamine size row expressly includes accompanying substances, so a cut product is weighed whole. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement and the figures, both re-derived from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Kazakhstan grades the offence by the size band. Criminal Code Article 296 part 2 meets ordinary possession without intent to supply with a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices, corrective labour, community work or arrest of up to 40 days, part 3 meets a крупный quantity with up to 200 indices or 50 days, and part 4 meets an особо крупный quantity with three to seven years of imprisonment. Public non-medical consumption is part 1. Supply is Article 297 at five to eight years with confiscation and up to fifteen to twenty years for its aggravated forms, and Article 297-1, inserted on 2 January 2025 by law No. 150-VIII, covers manufacture and processing for supply with life imprisonment available at part 4. The row that carries those figures is Метамфетамин, первитин (основание и соли, включая сопутствующие вещества), and for Methamphetamine the custodial rung therefore opens above 1,5 grams. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears. [Likely] Carried from the entry published before this batch and not re-derived in this pass: the two middle rungs of that ladder are six to ten years for part 2 and seven to twelve years for part 3. [Certain] Re-derived in this pass, and it is a general rule rather than a feature of this row: the Сводная таблица carries a footnote after Таблица I and again after Таблица II reading «Размеры распространяются на смеси (препараты) указанного наркотического средства и его аналогов», and 267 of its 297 substantive rows carry the asterisk that invokes it. The gram column is active-ingredient mass, reconciled against the table's own tablet and ampoule equivalences, and the footnote extends coverage to mixtures without changing that basis. A closing note applies the same treatment to solutions, extracts and impregnated carriers by extraction and dry residue.
If prescribed / medical: The Список answers the prescribing question on its own face. The heading of Таблица I is the schedule of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances whose use for medical purposes is prohibited, so Kazakhstan operates no prescribing route for Methamphetamine and a prescription written abroad does not create one. A traveller carrying it is in the position Article 296 describes and not in a medical one.

Methaqualone (Quaaludes)

Legal status: Methaqualone is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry Метаквалон at item 18 of section В of Таблица I of the Список, the schedule whose substances are prohibited from use for medical purposes. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row Метаквалон (основание и соли) and sets небольшой размер at 0-0,05 grams, крупный размер at 0,05-1,0 grams and особо крупный размер above 1,0 grams. Mecloqualone is listed separately at item 12 with the same three figures, so the pair is covered by name rather than as a class. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one.

The row that carries those figures is Метаквалон (основание и соли), and for Methaqualone the custodial rung therefore opens above 1,0 grams. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence.

Methylone

Legal status: Methylone is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry 2-(метиламино)-1-(3,4-метилендиоксифенил) пропан-1-он (bk-MDMA, Метилон) at item 43 of section В of Таблица I of the Список, the schedule whose substances are prohibited from use for medical purposes. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row 2-(метиламино)-1-(3,4-метилендиоксифенил) пропан-1-он (bk-MDMA, Метилон) and sets небольшой размер at 0-0,02 grams, крупный размер at 0,02-1,5 grams and особо крупный размер above 1,5 grams. The entry is filed under its systematic name with both common names bracketed after it, so a search on the common name alone finds it only inside the brackets and never at the start of the entry. Eutylone, a close relative, was added as item 63 with the same three figures. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement and the figures, both re-derived from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. The penalty ladder is read off those sizes. Possession without intent to supply sits in Criminal Code Article 296, which is non-custodial at parts 2 and 3, a fine of up to 160 or up to 200 monthly calculation indices or arrest of up to 40 or 50 days, and becomes custodial only at part 4, three to seven years, once the seizure is особо крупный. Consumption in a public place is part 1 of the same article. Supply runs under Article 297 at five to eight years with confiscation for the bare offence and fifteen to twenty years for its heaviest part, and manufacture or processing for supply under Article 297-1, added on 2 January 2025 by law No. 150-VIII, carries life imprisonment at part 4. The row that carries those figures is 2-(метиламино)-1-(3,4-метилендиоксифенил) пропан-1-он (bk-MDMA, Метилон), and for Methylone the custodial rung therefore opens above 1,5 grams. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list.

Methylphenidate

Legal status: Methylphenidate is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry Метилфенидат at item 7 of section В of Таблица II of the Список, the schedule of substances used for medical purposes and held under strict control. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row Метилфенидат and sets небольшой размер at 0-0,1 grams, крупный размер at 0,1-1,5 grams and особо крупный размер above 1,5 grams. Ethylphenidate is listed twice, at item 38 of Таблица I under its abbreviation and at item 56 under its systematic name, and takes the larger amphetamine figures of 0-0,2, 0,2-3,0 and above 3,0 grams. Methylphenidate itself is the medical entry and sits in the strict control schedule. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement and the figures, both re-derived from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Those sizes decide the charge. Under Criminal Code Article 296 a quantity below крупный draws a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices or arrest of up to 40 days, a крупный quantity up to 200 indices or 50 days, and only an особо крупный quantity carries prison, three to seven years under part 4. Article 296 part 1 is the separate offence of non-medical consumption in a public place. Anything done with intent to supply moves to Article 297, five to eight years with confiscation at part 1 and fifteen to twenty years at part 4, while Article 297-1, which the law of 2 January 2025 No. 150-VIII inserted, punishes manufacture and processing for supply and reaches life imprisonment. The row that carries those figures is Метилфенидат, and for Methylphenidate the custodial rung therefore opens above 1,5 grams. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears. [Likely] Carried from the entry published before this batch and not re-derived in this pass: the two middle rungs of that ladder are six to ten years for part 2 and seven to twelve years for part 3.
If prescribed / medical: Таблица II of the Список is headed as the schedule of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances used for medical purposes and held under strict control, so Methylphenidate does have a domestic medical route and it is the tightest one the Список operates. That is a statement about the schedule and not about what any individual pharmacy will dispense to a visitor, and the Resolution does not set import rules for a traveller's own supply.

Mitragynine

Legal status: Mitragynine is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry Митрагинин (9-метокси-коринантеидин) at item 74 of section А of Таблица I of the Список, the schedule whose substances are prohibited from use for medical purposes. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row Митрагинин (9-метокси-коринантеидин) and sets небольшой размер at 0-0,01 grams, крупный размер at 0,01-1,0 grams and особо крупный размер above 1,0 grams. Kazakhstan puts the kratom alkaloid in Таблица I section А, among the narcotic drugs whose medical use is prohibited, and on the same grams as heroin and cocaine. The entry gives the chemical synonym in brackets, which is how the Сводная таблица row was matched to it. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement and the figures, both re-derived from the instrument in this pass.

Kazakhstan grades the offence by the size band. Criminal Code Article 296 part 2 meets ordinary possession without intent to supply with a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices, corrective labour, community work or arrest of up to 40 days, part 3 meets a крупный quantity with up to 200 indices or 50 days, and part 4 meets an особо крупный quantity with three to seven years of imprisonment. Public non-medical consumption is part 1. Supply is Article 297 at five to eight years with confiscation and up to fifteen to twenty years for its aggravated forms, and Article 297-1, inserted on 2 January 2025 by law No. 150-VIII, covers manufacture and processing for supply with life imprisonment available at part 4. The row that carries those figures is Митрагинин (9-метокси-коринантеидин), and for Mitragynine the custodial rung therefore opens above 1,0 grams. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence.

Modafinil

Legal status: Modafinil is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry Модафинил at item 22 of section В of Таблица II of the Список, the schedule of substances used for medical purposes and held under strict control. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row Модафинил and sets небольшой размер at 0-0,2 grams, крупный размер at 0,2-6,0 grams and особо крупный размер above 6,0 grams. This is a placement many national lists do not make. Kazakhstan schedules modafinil as a psychotropic substance under strict medical control and gives it its own grams, with the особо крупный threshold at 6,0 grams, which is about a month of a 200 mg daily dose. Tianeptine at item 21 and butorphanol at item 19 are neighbouring entries of the same unusual kind. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one.

Criminal Code Article 296 governs handling without intent to supply. Part 2 reaches manufacture, processing, acquisition, storage and transport and carries a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices, corrective labour, community work or arrest of up to 40 days. Part 3 raises that to up to 200 indices or arrest of up to 50 days once the quantity is крупный. Part 4 is the first custodial rung and runs to three to seven years once the quantity is особо крупный. Part 1 deals separately with non-medical consumption in a public place. Supply is Article 297, at five to eight years with confiscation, rising through six to ten and seven to twelve to fifteen to twenty years for its aggravated parts, and Article 297-1, inserted by the amending law of 2 January 2025 No. 150-VIII, covers manufacture and processing for supply and reaches life imprisonment at its part 4. The row that carries those figures is Модафинил, and for Modafinil the custodial rung therefore opens above 6,0 grams.

Morphine

Legal status: Morphine is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry Морфин at item 26 of section А of Таблица II of the Список, the schedule of substances used for medical purposes and held under strict control. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row Морфин (основание и соли) and sets небольшой размер at 0-0,01 grams, крупный размер at 0,01-1,0 grams and особо крупный размер above 1,0 grams. The Сводная таблица expresses this row in ampoules as well as grams: the небольшой band is 0-0,01 grams, given as one ampoule of a one per cent solution, the крупный band runs from one to a hundred such ampoules and the особо крупный threshold is a hundred ampoules. Morphine hydrochloride is a separate entry at item 27, and morphine N-oxide and the morphine methylates sit in Таблица I. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one.

The penalty ladder is read off those sizes. Possession without intent to supply sits in Criminal Code Article 296, which is non-custodial at parts 2 and 3, a fine of up to 160 or up to 200 monthly calculation indices or arrest of up to 40 or 50 days, and becomes custodial only at part 4, three to seven years, once the seizure is особо крупный. Consumption in a public place is part 1 of the same article. Supply runs under Article 297 at five to eight years with confiscation for the bare offence and fifteen to twenty years for its heaviest part, and manufacture or processing for supply under Article 297-1, added on 2 January 2025 by law No. 150-VIII, carries life imprisonment at part 4. The row that carries those figures is Морфин (основание и соли), and for Morphine the custodial rung therefore opens above 1,0 grams. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence.

MXE

Legal status: MXE is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry Метоксетамин (МХЕ; 3-МеО-2-Охо-РСЕ) at item 13 of section В of Таблица I of the Список, the schedule whose substances are prohibited from use for medical purposes. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row 2-(3-метоксифенил)-2-(этиламино) циклогексан-1-он (Метоксетамин, МХЕ) and sets небольшой размер at 0-0,01 grams, крупный размер at 0,01-1,0 grams and особо крупный размер above 1,0 grams. Methoxetamine is listed twice over in the same schedule, once under its common name at item 13 and again under its systematic name at item 52, and it is the systematic form that carries the size row. The abbreviation in the Список is printed in Cyrillic letters that look like Latin ones, which is why a Latin search returns nothing on a substance that is plainly scheduled. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one.

Article 296 part 1 is the separate offence of non-medical consumption in a public place. Anything done with intent to supply moves to Article 297, five to eight years with confiscation at part 1 and fifteen to twenty years at part 4, while Article 297-1, which the law of 2 January 2025 No. 150-VIII inserted, punishes manufacture and processing for supply and reaches life imprisonment. The row that carries those figures is 2-(3-метоксифенил)-2-(этиламино) циклогексан-1-он (Метоксетамин, МХЕ), and for MXE the custodial rung therefore opens above 1,0 grams. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass.

If prescribed / medical: The Список answers the prescribing question on its own face. The heading of Таблица I is the schedule of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances whose use for medical purposes is prohibited, so Kazakhstan operates no prescribing route for MXE and a prescription written abroad does not create one. A traveller carrying it is in the position Article 296 describes and not in a medical one.

Nicotine

Legal status: Nicotine is not controlled by Kazakhstan's Resolution No. 470, on the version of the lists read for this row. Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves three documents in all, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, the Сводная таблица of sizes, a substituent list and a short list of veterinary medicines, and all three were searched. Nicotine is named nowhere in the Resolution. A search for никотин across all three approved lists returns nothing. Kazakhstan regulates nicotine and nicotine containing products through its health and excise legislation, which is a separate body of law and not this instrument. Searches were anchored at the start of each entry name rather than run as free substring matches, because unanchored matching in this document produces false hits: the Russian for codeine matches acetyldihydrocodeine, the Russian for diazepam matches fludiazepam and the Russian for ephedrine matches cathine. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, and a later amendment adding this substance is expressly not ruled out. [Certain] that the substance is absent from all three lists as this version stands, the search having been re-run from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Because Resolution No. 470 does not reach nicotine, it sets no size bands for it and no threshold can be quoted, so nothing in the criminal ladder below attaches to this substance on the strength of this instrument. Kazakhstan grades the offence by the size band. Criminal Code Article 296 part 2 meets ordinary possession without intent to supply with a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices, corrective labour, community work or arrest of up to 40 days, part 3 meets a крупный quantity with up to 200 indices or 50 days, and part 4 meets an особо крупный quantity with three to seven years of imprisonment. Public non-medical consumption is part 1. Supply is Article 297 at five to eight years with confiscation and up to fifteen to twenty years for its aggravated forms, and Article 297-1, inserted on 2 January 2025 by law No. 150-VIII, covers manufacture and processing for supply with life imprisonment available at part 4. Every one of those rungs is read off a size band in the Сводная таблица, and for an unlisted substance there is no band to read. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears. [Likely] Carried from the entry published before this batch and not re-derived in this pass: the two middle rungs of that ladder are six to ten years for part 2 and seven to twelve years for part 3.
If prescribed / medical: Because the Resolution does not reach nicotine, it supplies no prescribing rule for it and none is invented here. Kazakhstan runs a separate category of сильнодействующие и ядовитые вещества, potent and poisonous substances, which Criminal Code Article 301 punishes and which is fixed by its own list. That list was not read in this pass, so silence in Resolution No. 470 is not a finding that nicotine is unregulated in Kazakhstan, only that this instrument does not schedule it.

Nimetazepam

Legal status: Nimetazepam is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry Ниметазепам at item 37 of section В of Таблица III of the Список, the schedule of substances used for medical purposes and held under control. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row Ниметазепам and sets небольшой размер at 0-0,5 grams, крупный размер at 0,5-5,0 grams and особо крупный размер above 5,0 grams. Nimetazepam takes the ordinary benzodiazepine pattern with an express небольшой band, which puts it with bromazepam and lorazepam rather than with alprazolam and clonazepam. Nitrazepam, its close relative, is item 38 and is drawn the other way, with a blank first column and a tablet count. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement and the figures, both re-derived from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Criminal Code Article 296 governs handling without intent to supply. Part 2 reaches manufacture, processing, acquisition, storage and transport and carries a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices, corrective labour, community work or arrest of up to 40 days. Part 3 raises that to up to 200 indices or arrest of up to 50 days once the quantity is крупный. Part 4 is the first custodial rung and runs to three to seven years once the quantity is особо крупный. Part 1 deals separately with non-medical consumption in a public place. Supply is Article 297, at five to eight years with confiscation, rising through six to ten and seven to twelve to fifteen to twenty years for its aggravated parts, and Article 297-1, inserted by the amending law of 2 January 2025 No. 150-VIII, covers manufacture and processing for supply and reaches life imprisonment at its part 4. The row that carries those figures is Ниметазепам, and for Nimetazepam the custodial rung therefore opens above 5,0 grams. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears.
If prescribed / medical: Таблица III of the Список is headed as the schedule of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances used for medical purposes and held under control, which is the lighter of the two medical schedules, so Nimetazepam has a domestic prescribing route. The Resolution fixes the schedule and the seizure sizes and says nothing about what a visitor may bring in, so the carriage question is answered by the health ministry's import rules and not by this text.
Documentation: Provenance. The placement and the grams on this row were read from the consolidated text of Government Resolution of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approving the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан and the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes at https://zakon.uchet.kz/rus/docs/P1900000470, which is the state legal information system's copy, on 2026-09-21. The tables were parsed by column position rather than by reading them as a stream of lines, which matters because a blank небольшой размер cell is a real feature of this table and a line reader silently shifts the remaining figures one column left. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text. Russian names are quoted as the instrument prints them, except that the list prints the Список entries in capitals and they are given here in ordinary case.

Nitrous Oxide

Legal status: Nitrous oxide is not controlled by Kazakhstan's Resolution No. 470, on the version of the lists read for this row. Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves three documents in all, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, the Сводная таблица of sizes, a substituent list and a short list of veterinary medicines, and all three were searched. Nitrous oxide is named nowhere in the Resolution. Searches for закись азота and for азот return nothing across the Список, the Сводная таблица and the precursor schedule. It is a medical gas in Kazakhstan and is regulated as such rather than as a controlled substance under this instrument. Searches were anchored at the start of each entry name rather than run as free substring matches, because unanchored matching in this document produces false hits: the Russian for codeine matches acetyldihydrocodeine, the Russian for diazepam matches fludiazepam and the Russian for ephedrine matches cathine. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, and a later amendment adding this substance is expressly not ruled out.

No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Because Resolution No. 470 does not reach nitrous oxide, it sets no size bands for it and no threshold can be quoted, so nothing in the criminal ladder below attaches to this substance on the strength of this instrument. The penalty ladder is read off those sizes. Possession without intent to supply sits in Criminal Code Article 296, which is non-custodial at parts 2 and 3, a fine of up to 160 or up to 200 monthly calculation indices or arrest of up to 40 or 50 days, and becomes custodial only at part 4, three to seven years, once the seizure is особо крупный. Consumption in a public place is part 1 of the same article. Supply runs under Article 297 at five to eight years with confiscation for the bare offence and fifteen to twenty years for its heaviest part, and manufacture or processing for supply under Article 297-1, added on 2 January 2025 by law No. 150-VIII, carries life imprisonment at part 4. Every one of those rungs is read off a size band in the Сводная таблица, and for an unlisted substance there is no band to read. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass.

Opium

Legal status: Opium is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry Опий at item 35 of section А of Таблица II of the Список, the schedule of substances used for medical purposes and held under strict control. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row Опий, включая нейтральные наполнители (мука, сахар, крахмал и другие) and sets небольшой размер at 0,1-2,0 grams, крупный размер at 2,0-100,0 grams and особо крупный размер above 100,0 grams. Opium is defined in the entry as the congealed juice of the poppy plant containing narcotically active alkaloids, and the size row expressly includes neutral fillers such as flour, sugar and starch, so a diluted seizure is weighed whole. Four related entries surround it. Маковая солома, poppy straw, is item 39 of Таблица I and is split dried against undried, at 0,5-20,0 and 2,5-100,0 grams for the small band. Acetylated opium is item 9 of Таблица I at 0-0,05, 0,05-1,5 and above 1,5 grams. Extraction opium is item 52 of this schedule at 0-0,1, 0,1-3,0 and above 3,0 grams. The opium poppy itself is item 54 of Таблица I, and the cultivation table sets ten plants as the large size. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement and the figures, both re-derived from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Those sizes decide the charge. Under Criminal Code Article 296 a quantity below крупный draws a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices or arrest of up to 40 days, a крупный quantity up to 200 indices or 50 days, and only an особо крупный quantity carries prison, three to seven years under part 4. Article 296 part 1 is the separate offence of non-medical consumption in a public place. Anything done with intent to supply moves to Article 297, five to eight years with confiscation at part 1 and fifteen to twenty years at part 4, while Article 297-1, which the law of 2 January 2025 No. 150-VIII inserted, punishes manufacture and processing for supply and reaches life imprisonment. The row that carries those figures is Опий, включая нейтральные наполнители (мука, сахар, крахмал и другие), and for Opium the custodial rung therefore opens above 100,0 grams. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears. [Likely] Carried from the entry published before this batch and not re-derived in this pass: the two middle rungs of that ladder are six to ten years for part 2 and seven to twelve years for part 3. [Certain] Re-derived in this pass, and it is a general rule rather than a feature of this row: the Сводная таблица carries a footnote after Таблица I and again after Таблица II reading «Размеры распространяются на смеси (препараты) указанного наркотического средства и его аналогов», and 267 of its 297 substantive rows carry the asterisk that invokes it. The gram column is active-ingredient mass, reconciled against the table's own tablet and ampoule equivalences, and the footnote extends coverage to mixtures without changing that basis. A closing note applies the same treatment to solutions, extracts and impregnated carriers by extraction and dry residue.
If prescribed / medical: Таблица II of the Список is headed as the schedule of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances used for medical purposes and held under strict control, so Opium does have a domestic medical route and it is the tightest one the Список operates. That is a statement about the schedule and not about what any individual pharmacy will dispense to a visitor, and the Resolution does not set import rules for a traveller's own supply. The same Resolution also approves a short Список of veterinary medicines containing controlled substances, and Опий в порошке appears on it.

Oxycodone

Legal status: Oxycodone is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry Оксикодон at item 32 of section А of Таблица II of the Список, the schedule of substances used for medical purposes and held under strict control. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row Оксикодон and sets небольшой размер at 0-0,2 grams, крупный размер at 0,2-10,0 grams and особо крупный размер above 10,0 grams. Oxymorphone follows at item 33 on the same figures, and the whole semisynthetic morphinan group in this schedule, hydrocodone, hydromorphone, dihydrocodeine, thebaine and the rest, shares the 0-0,2, 0,2-10,0 and above 10,0 gram pattern. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one.

Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty.

Kazakhstan grades the offence by the size band. Criminal Code Article 296 part 2 meets ordinary possession without intent to supply with a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices, corrective labour, community work or arrest of up to 40 days, part 3 meets a крупный quantity with up to 200 indices or 50 days, and part 4 meets an особо крупный quantity with three to seven years of imprisonment. Public non-medical consumption is part 1. Supply is Article 297 at five to eight years with confiscation and up to fifteen to twenty years for its aggravated forms, and Article 297-1, inserted on 2 January 2025 by law No. 150-VIII, covers manufacture and processing for supply with life imprisonment available at part 4. The row that carries those figures is Оксикодон, and for Oxycodone the custodial rung therefore opens above 10,0 grams. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass.

PCP

Legal status: PCP is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry Фенциклидин, ПЦП at item 37 of section В of Таблица I of the Список, the schedule whose substances are prohibited from use for medical purposes. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row Фенциклидин (основание и соли) and sets no небольшой размер band at all, крупный размер at 0-0,01 grams and особо крупный размер above 0,01 grams. Three related arylcyclohexylamines sit beside it with the same blank first column and the same 0,01 gram ceiling: rolicyclidine at item 31, tenocyclidine at item 34 and eticyclidine at item 39. 3-methoxyphencyclidine was added at item 62 and takes the same figures. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement and the figures, both re-derived from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Criminal Code Article 296 governs handling without intent to supply. Part 2 reaches manufacture, processing, acquisition, storage and transport and carries a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices, corrective labour, community work or arrest of up to 40 days. Part 3 raises that to up to 200 indices or arrest of up to 50 days once the quantity is крупный. Part 4 is the first custodial rung and runs to three to seven years once the quantity is особо крупный. Part 1 deals separately with non-medical consumption in a public place. Supply is Article 297, at five to eight years with confiscation, rising through six to ten and seven to twelve to fifteen to twenty years for its aggravated parts, and Article 297-1, inserted by the amending law of 2 January 2025 No. 150-VIII, covers manufacture and processing for supply and reaches life imprisonment at its part 4. On the row Фенциклидин (основание и соли) the table prints no небольшой размер band at all, so for PCP the custodial rung opens above 0,01 grams with nothing below it marked as small. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears.
If prescribed / medical: The Список answers the prescribing question on its own face. The heading of Таблица I is the schedule of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances whose use for medical purposes is prohibited, so Kazakhstan operates no prescribing route for PCP and a prescription written abroad does not create one. A traveller carrying it is in the position Article 296 describes and not in a medical one.
Documentation: Provenance. The placement and the grams on this row were read from the consolidated text of Government Resolution of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approving the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан and the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes at https://zakon.uchet.kz/rus/docs/P1900000470, which is the state legal information system's copy, on 2026-09-21. The tables were parsed by column position rather than by reading them as a stream of lines, which matters because a blank небольшой размер cell is a real feature of this table and a line reader silently shifts the remaining figures one column left. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text. Russian names are quoted as the instrument prints them, except that the list prints the Список entries in capitals and they are given here in ordinary case.

Peyote

Legal status: Peyote is a plant and Kazakhstan's Resolution works on substances, so the answer on this row is split. The cactus is named nowhere in the Resolution, neither under a Russian name nor under Lophophora, and the cultivation table in Таблица IV of the Сводная таблица names only the coca bush, khat, the opium poppy and ephedra. Its alkaloid is listed: Мескалин is item 17 of Таблица I section В, among the psychotropic substances whose medical use is prohibited, with sizes of 0-0,3 grams, 0,3-5,0 grams and above 5,0 grams. So dried cactus is not a listed article by its own name while the mescaline in it is a listed psychotropic substance, and a preparation sold by mescaline content falls inside the entry. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, and a later amendment is not ruled out. [Certain] on every entry and figure quoted, all re-derived from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. The penalty ladder is read off those sizes. Possession without intent to supply sits in Criminal Code Article 296, which is non-custodial at parts 2 and 3, a fine of up to 160 or up to 200 monthly calculation indices or arrest of up to 40 or 50 days, and becomes custodial only at part 4, three to seven years, once the seizure is особо крупный. Consumption in a public place is part 1 of the same article. Supply runs under Article 297 at five to eight years with confiscation for the bare offence and fifteen to twenty years for its heaviest part, and manufacture or processing for supply under Article 297-1, added on 2 January 2025 by law No. 150-VIII, carries life imprisonment at part 4. Which of those bands applies to a seizure of peyote depends on what the material is measured as, because the Resolution sets grams for the listed substances and not for the raw plant, except where the cultivation table sets a number of plants instead. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears. [Likely] Carried from the entry published before this batch and not re-derived in this pass: the two middle rungs of that ladder are six to ten years for part 2 and seven to twelve years for part 3.
If prescribed / medical: The Resolution answers the prescribing question for the listed substances and not for the plant. Nothing in it creates a medical route for Peyote as plant material, and a foreign prescription would not supply one. Where the listed alkaloid sits in Таблица I of the Список, medical use of that alkaloid is prohibited outright, so no prescribing route exists on that side either.
Documentation: Provenance. The entries, the cultivation table and the grams quoted here were read from the consolidated text of Government Resolution of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approving the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан and the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes at https://zakon.uchet.kz/rus/docs/P1900000470 on 2026-09-21. The cultivation table is a separate table at the end of the Сводная таблица and is easy to miss, which is why it was read in full rather than searched. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text. This cell asserts that the plant itself is not named, so it names the version it read and does not rule out a later one.

Phenibut

Legal status: Phenibut is not controlled by Kazakhstan's Resolution No. 470, on the version of the lists read for this row. Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves three documents in all, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, the Сводная таблица of sizes, a substituent list and a short list of veterinary medicines, and all three were searched. Phenibut is named nowhere in the Resolution. Searches for фенибут and for the chemical name across all three approved lists return nothing. Phenibut is a registered medicine of Soviet origin in this region and is handled as an ordinary prescription product rather than as a controlled substance under this instrument. Searches were anchored at the start of each entry name rather than run as free substring matches, because unanchored matching in this document produces false hits: the Russian for codeine matches acetyldihydrocodeine, the Russian for diazepam matches fludiazepam and the Russian for ephedrine matches cathine. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, and a later amendment adding this substance is expressly not ruled out. [Certain] that the substance is absent from all three lists as this version stands, the search having been re-run from the instrument in this pass. [Certain] Re-derived in this pass: an absence from Resolution 470 does not close the question for this row. Kazakhstan runs a separate category of сильнодействующие и ядовитые вещества outside that Resolution, fixed by the Order of the Minister of Health No. 120 of 26 December 2023 approving the List of Potent Substances Having Harmful Effects on Human Life and Health, and punished by Criminal Code Article 301 rather than by Articles 296 and 297. Criminal liability for unlawful trafficking in a listed potent substance took effect on 1 January 2026 under Law No. 150-VIII of 2 January 2025. That list was not reached in this pass, so whether it names this substance is unresolved and is not ruled out either way.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Because Resolution No. 470 does not reach phenibut, it sets no size bands for it and no threshold can be quoted, so nothing in the criminal ladder below attaches to this substance on the strength of this instrument. Those sizes decide the charge. Under Criminal Code Article 296 a quantity below крупный draws a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices or arrest of up to 40 days, a крупный quantity up to 200 indices or 50 days, and only an особо крупный quantity carries prison, three to seven years under part 4. Article 296 part 1 is the separate offence of non-medical consumption in a public place. Anything done with intent to supply moves to Article 297, five to eight years with confiscation at part 1 and fifteen to twenty years at part 4, while Article 297-1, which the law of 2 January 2025 No. 150-VIII inserted, punishes manufacture and processing for supply and reaches life imprisonment. Every one of those rungs is read off a size band in the Сводная таблица, and for an unlisted substance there is no band to read. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears. [Likely] Carried from the entry published before this batch and not re-derived in this pass: the two middle rungs of that ladder are six to ten years for part 2 and seven to twelve years for part 3.
If prescribed / medical: Because the Resolution does not reach phenibut, it supplies no prescribing rule for it and none is invented here. Kazakhstan runs a separate category of сильнодействующие и ядовитые вещества, potent and poisonous substances, which Criminal Code Article 301 punishes and which is fixed by its own list. That list was not read in this pass, so silence in Resolution No. 470 is not a finding that phenibut is unregulated in Kazakhstan, only that this instrument does not schedule it.

Pink Cocaine / Tusi

Legal status: Pink cocaine is not controlled by Kazakhstan's Resolution No. 470, on the version of the lists read for this row. Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves three documents in all, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, the Сводная таблица of sizes, a substituent list and a short list of veterinary medicines, and all three were searched. Pink cocaine is a street name for a mixture and not a substance, so no list can carry it and the Resolution does not. What it usually contains is listed. 2C-B is item 11 of Таблица II section В with sizes of 0- 0,01 grams, 0,01-0,05 grams and above 0,05 grams. Ketamine is item 67 of Таблица III section В with a blank small column and an особо крупный threshold above 0,01 grams. MDMA is item 10 of Таблица I section В at 0-0,02 grams, 0,02-1,0 grams and above 1,0 grams. Caffeine, which is often the bulk of such a powder, is named nowhere in the Resolution. Which entry a seizure falls under is therefore an analytical question and not a listing question. Searches were anchored at the start of each entry name rather than run as free substring matches, because unanchored matching in this document produces false hits: the Russian for codeine matches acetyldihydrocodeine, the Russian for diazepam matches fludiazepam and the Russian for ephedrine matches cathine. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, and a later amendment adding this substance is expressly not ruled out. [Certain] that the substance is absent from all three lists as this version stands, the search having been re-run from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Because Resolution No. 470 does not reach pink cocaine, it sets no size bands for it and no threshold can be quoted, so nothing in the criminal ladder below attaches to this substance on the strength of this instrument. Kazakhstan grades the offence by the size band. Criminal Code Article 296 part 2 meets ordinary possession without intent to supply with a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices, corrective labour, community work or arrest of up to 40 days, part 3 meets a крупный quantity with up to 200 indices or 50 days, and part 4 meets an особо крупный quantity with three to seven years of imprisonment. Public non-medical consumption is part 1. Supply is Article 297 at five to eight years with confiscation and up to fifteen to twenty years for its aggravated forms, and Article 297-1, inserted on 2 January 2025 by law No. 150-VIII, covers manufacture and processing for supply with life imprisonment available at part 4. Every one of those rungs is read off a size band in the Сводная таблица, and for an unlisted substance there is no band to read. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass.

Poppers

Legal status: Poppers is not controlled by Kazakhstan's Resolution No. 470, on the version of the lists read for this row. Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves three documents in all, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, the Сводная таблица of sizes, a substituent list and a short list of veterinary medicines, and all three were searched. Poppers is a trade description for alkyl nitrite preparations rather than a substance, and neither the description nor any nitrite appears anywhere in the Resolution. A search across all three approved lists for нитрит returns nothing, and the closest hit on the letters is Амобарбитал (барбамил), a barbiturate, which is not related to it. Searches were anchored at the start of each entry name rather than run as free substring matches, because unanchored matching in this document produces false hits: the Russian for codeine matches acetyldihydrocodeine, the Russian for diazepam matches fludiazepam and the Russian for ephedrine matches cathine. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, and a later amendment adding this substance is expressly not ruled out.

Part 4 is the first custodial rung and runs to three to seven years once the quantity is особо крупный. Part 1 deals separately with non-medical consumption in a public place. Supply is Article 297, at five to eight years with confiscation, rising through six to ten and seven to twelve to fifteen to twenty years for its aggravated parts, and Article 297-1, inserted by the amending law of 2 January 2025 No. 150-VIII, covers manufacture and processing for supply and reaches life imprisonment at its part 4. Every one of those rungs is read off a size band in the Сводная таблица, and for an unlisted substance there is no band to read. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence.

Pregabalin

Legal status: Pregabalin is not controlled by Kazakhstan's Resolution No. 470, on the version of the lists read for this row. Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves three documents in all, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, the Сводная таблица of sizes, a substituent list and a short list of veterinary medicines, and all three were searched. Pregabalin is named nowhere in the Resolution. A search for прегабалин across all three approved lists returns nothing. That is a placement worth noting, because Kazakhstan did schedule several medicines that many lists leave alone, among them tramadol at item 66 of Таблица III, modafinil at item 22 of Таблица II section В, tianeptine at item 21 and clonidine at item 17, so the absence of pregabalin is a choice the drafter made rather than an oversight of the whole category. Searches were anchored at the start of each entry name rather than run as free substring matches, because unanchored matching in this document produces false hits: the Russian for codeine matches acetyldihydrocodeine, the Russian for diazepam matches fludiazepam and the Russian for ephedrine matches cathine. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, and a later amendment adding this substance is expressly not ruled out. [Certain] that the substance is absent from all three lists as this version stands, the search having been re-run from the instrument in this pass. [Likely] Re-derived in this pass as far as a secondary source allows, and it changes what an absence from Resolution 470 means for this row: Kazakhstan runs a separate category of сильнодействующие и ядовитые вещества outside that Resolution, fixed by the Order of the Minister of Health No. 120 of 26 December 2023 approving the List of Potent Substances Having Harmful Effects on Human Life and Health, and punished by Criminal Code Article 301. A Kazakh pharmaceutical-sector explainer of the 2026 change states that the list reaches preparations containing pregabalin. Criminal liability for unlawful trafficking in a listed potent substance, including dispensing it from a pharmacy without a prescription, took effect on 1 January 2026 under Law No. 150-VIII of 2 January 2025. Order 120 itself was not read in this pass, so the naming is carried from that explainer and not from the list.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Because Resolution No. 470 does not reach pregabalin, it sets no size bands for it and no threshold can be quoted, so nothing in the criminal ladder below attaches to this substance on the strength of this instrument. The penalty ladder is read off those sizes. Possession without intent to supply sits in Criminal Code Article 296, which is non-custodial at parts 2 and 3, a fine of up to 160 or up to 200 monthly calculation indices or arrest of up to 40 or 50 days, and becomes custodial only at part 4, three to seven years, once the seizure is особо крупный. Consumption in a public place is part 1 of the same article. Supply runs under Article 297 at five to eight years with confiscation for the bare offence and fifteen to twenty years for its heaviest part, and manufacture or processing for supply under Article 297-1, added on 2 January 2025 by law No. 150-VIII, carries life imprisonment at part 4. Every one of those rungs is read off a size band in the Сводная таблица, and for an unlisted substance there is no band to read. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears. [Likely] Carried from the entry published before this batch and not re-derived in this pass: the two middle rungs of that ladder are six to ten years for part 2 and seven to twelve years for part 3.
If prescribed / medical: Because the Resolution does not reach pregabalin, it supplies no prescribing rule for it and none is invented here. Kazakhstan runs a separate category of сильнодействующие и ядовитые вещества, potent and poisonous substances, which Criminal Code Article 301 punishes and which is fixed by its own list. That list was not read in this pass, so silence in Resolution No. 470 is not a finding that pregabalin is unregulated in Kazakhstan, only that this instrument does not schedule it.

Psilocybin

Legal status: Psilocybin is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry Псилоцибин at item 29 of section В of Таблица I of the Список, the schedule whose substances are prohibited from use for medical purposes. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row Псилоцибин and sets небольшой размер at 0-0,01 grams, крупный размер at 0,01-0,1 grams and особо крупный размер above 0,1 grams. Psilocin is listed beside it at item 30 with the same three figures, and item 28 lists the fruiting body of any species of mushroom containing psychotropic substances, with the Сводная таблица giving mushroom fruiting bodies containing psilocin and psilocybin their own sizes of 0-0,5 grams, 0,5-50,0 grams and above 50,0 grams. A seizure of mushrooms is therefore weighed under the mushroom row rather than assayed for alkaloid. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement and the figures, both re-derived from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Those sizes decide the charge. Under Criminal Code Article 296 a quantity below крупный draws a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices or arrest of up to 40 days, a крупный quantity up to 200 indices or 50 days, and only an особо крупный quantity carries prison, three to seven years under part 4. Article 296 part 1 is the separate offence of non-medical consumption in a public place. Anything done with intent to supply moves to Article 297, five to eight years with confiscation at part 1 and fifteen to twenty years at part 4, while Article 297-1, which the law of 2 January 2025 No. 150-VIII inserted, punishes manufacture and processing for supply and reaches life imprisonment. The row that carries those figures is Псилоцибин, and for Psilocybin the custodial rung therefore opens above 0,1 grams. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears. [Likely] Carried from the entry published before this batch and not re-derived in this pass: the two middle rungs of that ladder are six to ten years for part 2 and seven to twelve years for part 3.
If prescribed / medical: The Список answers the prescribing question on its own face. The heading of Таблица I is the schedule of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances whose use for medical purposes is prohibited, so Kazakhstan operates no prescribing route for Psilocybin and a prescription written abroad does not create one. A traveller carrying it is in the position Article 296 describes and not in a medical one.
Documentation: Provenance. The placement and the grams on this row were read from the consolidated text of Government Resolution of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approving the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан and the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes at https://zakon.uchet.kz/rus/docs/P1900000470, which is the state legal information system's copy, on 2026-09-21. The tables were parsed by column position rather than by reading them as a stream of lines, which matters because a blank небольшой размер cell is a real feature of this table and a line reader silently shifts the remaining figures one column left. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text. Russian names are quoted as the instrument prints them, except that the list prints the Список entries in capitals and they are given here in ordinary case.

Quetiapine

Legal status: Quetiapine is not controlled by Kazakhstan's Resolution No. 470, on the version of the lists read for this row. Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves three documents in all, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, the Сводная таблица of sizes, a substituent list and a short list of veterinary medicines, and all three were searched. Quetiapine is named nowhere in the Resolution. A search for кветиапин across all three approved lists returns nothing. It is an ordinary prescription antipsychotic in Kazakhstan and the controlled substances Resolution does not reach it. Searches were anchored at the start of each entry name rather than run as free substring matches, because unanchored matching in this document produces false hits: the Russian for codeine matches acetyldihydrocodeine, the Russian for diazepam matches fludiazepam and the Russian for ephedrine matches cathine. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, and a later amendment adding this substance is expressly not ruled out. [Certain] that the substance is absent from all three lists as this version stands, the search having been re-run from the instrument in this pass. [Certain] Re-derived in this pass: an absence from Resolution 470 does not close the question for this row. Kazakhstan runs a separate category of сильнодействующие и ядовитые вещества outside that Resolution, fixed by the Order of the Minister of Health No. 120 of 26 December 2023 approving the List of Potent Substances Having Harmful Effects on Human Life and Health, and punished by Criminal Code Article 301 rather than by Articles 296 and 297. Criminal liability for unlawful trafficking in a listed potent substance took effect on 1 January 2026 under Law No. 150-VIII of 2 January 2025. That list was not reached in this pass, so whether it names this substance is unresolved and is not ruled out either way.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Because Resolution No. 470 does not reach quetiapine, it sets no size bands for it and no threshold can be quoted, so nothing in the criminal ladder below attaches to this substance on the strength of this instrument. Kazakhstan grades the offence by the size band. Criminal Code Article 296 part 2 meets ordinary possession without intent to supply with a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices, corrective labour, community work or arrest of up to 40 days, part 3 meets a крупный quantity with up to 200 indices or 50 days, and part 4 meets an особо крупный quantity with three to seven years of imprisonment. Public non-medical consumption is part 1. Supply is Article 297 at five to eight years with confiscation and up to fifteen to twenty years for its aggravated forms, and Article 297-1, inserted on 2 January 2025 by law No. 150-VIII, covers manufacture and processing for supply with life imprisonment available at part 4. Every one of those rungs is read off a size band in the Сводная таблица, and for an unlisted substance there is no band to read. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears. [Likely] Carried from the entry published before this batch and not re-derived in this pass: the two middle rungs of that ladder are six to ten years for part 2 and seven to twelve years for part 3.

Kazakhstan runs a separate category of сильнодействующие и ядовитые вещества, potent and poisonous substances, which Criminal Code Article 301 punishes and which is fixed by its own list.

Salvia divinorum

Legal status: Dried Salvia divinorum leaf is not itself a listed article while the salvinorin it contains is a listed psychotropic substance, and a prepared extract sold by salvinorin content sits squarely inside the entry. Kazakhstan reaches Salvia divinorum through its active diterpene rather than by naming the plant. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry Сальвинорин А at item 20 of section В of Таблица II of the Список, the schedule of substances used for medical purposes and held under strict control. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row Сальвинорин А and sets небольшой размер at 0-0,0005 grams, крупный размер at 0,0005-0,015 grams and особо крупный размер above 0,015 grams. The plant is not named anywhere in the Resolution. Its active diterpene is, and it carries some of the smallest figures in the whole table, with the особо крупный threshold at 0,015 grams. The copy read on 21 September 2026 carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement and the figures.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Criminal Code Article 296 governs handling without intent to supply. Part 2 reaches manufacture, processing, acquisition, storage and transport and carries a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices, corrective labour, community work or arrest of up to 40 days. Part 3 raises that to up to 200 indices or arrest of up to 50 days once the quantity is крупный. Part 4 is the first custodial rung and runs to three to seven years once the quantity is особо крупный. Part 1 deals separately with non-medical consumption in a public place. Supply is Article 297, at five to eight years with confiscation, rising through six to ten and seven to twelve to fifteen to twenty years for its aggravated parts, and Article 297-1, inserted by the amending law of 2 January 2025 No. 150-VIII, covers manufacture and processing for supply and reaches life imprisonment at its part 4. The row that carries those figures is Сальвинорин А, and for Salvia divinorum the custodial rung therefore opens above 0,015 grams. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears.
If prescribed / medical: Таблица II of the Список is headed as the schedule of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances used for medical purposes and held under strict control, so Salvia divinorum does have a domestic medical route and it is the tightest one the Список operates. That is a statement about the schedule and not about what any individual pharmacy will dispense to a visitor, and the Resolution does not set import rules for a traveller's own supply.

Scopolamine (Devil's Breath)

Legal status: Scopolamine is not controlled by Kazakhstan's Resolution No. 470, on the version of the lists read for this row. Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves three documents in all, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, the Сводная таблица of sizes, a substituent list and a short list of veterinary medicines, and all three were searched. Scopolamine is named nowhere in the Resolution. Searches for скополамин and for the alternative Russian name гиосцин return nothing across all three approved lists, and no solanaceous plant appears in the cultivation table, which names only the coca bush, khat, the opium poppy and ephedra. Searches were anchored at the start of each entry name rather than run as free substring matches, because unanchored matching in this document produces false hits: the Russian for codeine matches acetyldihydrocodeine, the Russian for diazepam matches fludiazepam and the Russian for ephedrine matches cathine.

Synthetic Cannabinoids (K2 / Spice)

Legal status: Synthetic cannabinoids is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry Синтетические каннабиноиды at item 61 of section В of Таблица I of the Список, the schedule whose substances are prohibited from use for medical purposes. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row Синтетические каннабиноиды and sets небольшой размер at 0-0,01 grams, крупный размер at 0,01-1,0 grams and особо крупный размер above 1,0 grams. Item 61 is not a formula, it is a heading followed by an enumeration of well over a hundred named compounds, from the CP-47,497 homologues and HU-210 through the JWH series to the indazole carboxamides such as AB-PINACA, 5F-ADB, MDMB-CHMINACA and CUMYL-4CN-BINACA. The Сводная таблица then gives the whole heading a single size row, so an unnamed compound that answers the heading is measured on the same grams as a named one. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement and the figures, both re-derived from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Those sizes decide the charge. Under Criminal Code Article 296 a quantity below крупный draws a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices or arrest of up to 40 days, a крупный quantity up to 200 indices or 50 days, and only an особо крупный quantity carries prison, three to seven years under part 4. Article 296 part 1 is the separate offence of non-medical consumption in a public place. Anything done with intent to supply moves to Article 297, five to eight years with confiscation at part 1 and fifteen to twenty years at part 4, while Article 297-1, which the law of 2 January 2025 No. 150-VIII inserted, punishes manufacture and processing for supply and reaches life imprisonment. The row that carries those figures is Синтетические каннабиноиды, and for Synthetic cannabinoids the custodial rung therefore opens above 1,0 grams. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears. [Likely] Carried from the entry published before this batch and not re-derived in this pass: the two middle rungs of that ladder are six to ten years for part 2 and seven to twelve years for part 3.
If prescribed / medical: The Список answers the prescribing question on its own face. The heading of Таблица I is the schedule of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances whose use for medical purposes is prohibited, so Kazakhstan operates no prescribing route for Synthetic cannabinoids and a prescription written abroad does not create one. A traveller carrying it is in the position Article 296 describes and not in a medical one.

Tobacco

Legal status: Tobacco is not controlled by Kazakhstan's Resolution No. 470, on the version of the lists read for this row. Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves three documents in all, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, the Сводная таблица of sizes, a substituent list and a short list of veterinary medicines, and all three were searched. Tobacco is named nowhere in the Resolution. A search for табак across the Список, the Сводная таблица and the precursor schedule returns nothing, and the cultivation table names only the coca bush, khat, the opium poppy and ephedra. Tobacco in Kazakhstan is an excise and public health subject rather than a controlled substances one. Searches were anchored at the start of each entry name rather than run as free substring matches, because unanchored matching in this document produces false hits: the Russian for codeine matches acetyldihydrocodeine, the Russian for diazepam matches fludiazepam and the Russian for ephedrine matches cathine. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, and a later amendment adding this substance is expressly not ruled out. [Certain] that the substance is absent from all three lists as this version stands, the search having been re-run from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Because Resolution No. 470 does not reach tobacco, it sets no size bands for it and no threshold can be quoted, so nothing in the criminal ladder below attaches to this substance on the strength of this instrument. Criminal Code Article 296 governs handling without intent to supply. Part 2 reaches manufacture, processing, acquisition, storage and transport and carries a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices, corrective labour, community work or arrest of up to 40 days. Part 3 raises that to up to 200 indices or arrest of up to 50 days once the quantity is крупный. Part 4 is the first custodial rung and runs to three to seven years once the quantity is особо крупный. Part 1 deals separately with non-medical consumption in a public place. Supply is Article 297, at five to eight years with confiscation, rising through six to ten and seven to twelve to fifteen to twenty years for its aggravated parts, and Article 297-1, inserted by the amending law of 2 January 2025 No. 150-VIII, covers manufacture and processing for supply and reaches life imprisonment at its part 4. Every one of those rungs is read off a size band in the Сводная таблица, and for an unlisted substance there is no band to read. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears.
If prescribed / medical: Because the Resolution does not reach tobacco, it supplies no prescribing rule for it and none is invented here. Kazakhstan runs a separate category of сильнодействующие и ядовитые вещества, potent and poisonous substances, which Criminal Code Article 301 punishes and which is fixed by its own list. That list was not read in this pass, so silence in Resolution No. 470 is not a finding that tobacco is unregulated in Kazakhstan, only that this instrument does not schedule it.

Tramadol

Legal status: Tramadol is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry Трамадол at item 66 of section В of Таблица III of the Список, the schedule of substances used for medical purposes and held under control. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row Трамадол (2-[(диметиламино)метил]-1-(3-метоксифенил)циклогексанол) and sets небольшой размер at 0-0,1 grams, крупный размер at 0,1-10 grams and особо крупный размер above 10 grams. Kazakhstan classifies tramadol as a psychotropic substance rather than a narcotic drug, which is where it differs from several of its neighbours, and the Сводная таблица gives it comparatively wide bands, with особо крупный beginning above 10 grams. That is roughly a hundred 100 mg tablets, so an ordinary prescription quantity stays well below the custodial rung while a bulk carriage does not. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement and the figures, both re-derived from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. The penalty ladder is read off those sizes. Possession without intent to supply sits in Criminal Code Article 296, which is non-custodial at parts 2 and 3, a fine of up to 160 or up to 200 monthly calculation indices or arrest of up to 40 or 50 days, and becomes custodial only at part 4, three to seven years, once the seizure is особо крупный. Consumption in a public place is part 1 of the same article. Supply runs under Article 297 at five to eight years with confiscation for the bare offence and fifteen to twenty years for its heaviest part, and manufacture or processing for supply under Article 297-1, added on 2 January 2025 by law No. 150-VIII, carries life imprisonment at part 4. The row that carries those figures is Трамадол (2-[(диметиламино)метил]-1-(3-метоксифенил)циклогексанол), and for Tramadol the custodial rung therefore opens above 10 grams. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears. [Likely] Carried from the entry published before this batch and not re-derived in this pass: the two middle rungs of that ladder are six to ten years for part 2 and seven to twelve years for part 3.
If prescribed / medical: Таблица III of the Список is headed as the schedule of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances used for medical purposes and held under control, which is the lighter of the two medical schedules, so Tramadol has a domestic prescribing route. The Resolution fixes the schedule and the seizure sizes and says nothing about what a visitor may bring in, so the carriage question is answered by the health ministry's import rules and not by this text.

Xanax (Alprazolam)

Legal status: Alprazolam is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry Альпразолам at item 2 of section В of Таблица III of the Список, the schedule of substances used for medical purposes and held under control. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row Альпразолам and sets no небольшой размер band at all, крупный размер at 0,5-5,0 grams and особо крупный размер above 5,0 grams. This row is drawn differently from most of its neighbours and the difference is recorded rather than smoothed over. The небольшой размер column is blank and the крупный band begins at 0,5 grams rather than at zero, so the range from zero to 0,5 grams is assigned to no band on the face of the table, while sibling benzodiazepines such as bromazepam and lorazepam do carry an express 0-0,5 gram small band. The same blank and the same 0,5 gram start appear on triazolam, flunitrazepam, chlordiazepoxide, etizolam, clonazolam, diclazepam and flubromazolam. Nothing here fills that range in either direction. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement and the figures, both re-derived from the instrument in this pass.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Kazakhstan grades the offence by the size band. Criminal Code Article 296 part 2 meets ordinary possession without intent to supply with a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices, corrective labour, community work or arrest of up to 40 days, part 3 meets a крупный quantity with up to 200 indices or 50 days, and part 4 meets an особо крупный quantity with three to seven years of imprisonment. Public non-medical consumption is part 1. Supply is Article 297 at five to eight years with confiscation and up to fifteen to twenty years for its aggravated forms, and Article 297-1, inserted on 2 January 2025 by law No. 150-VIII, covers manufacture and processing for supply with life imprisonment available at part 4. On the row Альпразолам the table prints no небольшой размер band at all, so for Alprazolam the custodial rung opens above 5,0 grams with nothing below it marked as small. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list.

Xylazine

Legal status: Xylazine is not controlled by Kazakhstan's Resolution No. 470, on the version of the lists read for this row. Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves three documents in all, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, the Сводная таблица of sizes, a substituent list and a short list of veterinary medicines, and all three were searched. Xylazine is named nowhere in the Resolution. A search for ксилазин across the Список, the Сводная таблица and the precursor schedule returns nothing. The point is worth making precisely on this row, because the same Resolution approves a short list of veterinary medicines containing controlled substances, and xylazine, which is a veterinary sedative, is not on that list either. Searches were anchored at the start of each entry name rather than run as free substring matches, because unanchored matching in this document produces false hits: the Russian for codeine matches acetyldihydrocodeine, the Russian for diazepam matches fludiazepam and the Russian for ephedrine matches cathine. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, and a later amendment adding this substance is expressly not ruled out. [Certain] that the substance is absent from all three lists as this version stands, the search having been re-run from the instrument in this pass. [Certain] Re-derived in this pass: an absence from Resolution 470 does not close the question for this row. Kazakhstan runs a separate category of сильнодействующие и ядовитые вещества outside that Resolution, fixed by the Order of the Minister of Health No. 120 of 26 December 2023 approving the List of Potent Substances Having Harmful Effects on Human Life and Health, and punished by Criminal Code Article 301 rather than by Articles 296 and 297. Criminal liability for unlawful trafficking in a listed potent substance took effect on 1 January 2026 under Law No. 150-VIII of 2 January 2025. That list was not reached in this pass, so whether it names this substance is unresolved and is not ruled out either way.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Because Resolution No. 470 does not reach xylazine, it sets no size bands for it and no threshold can be quoted, so nothing in the criminal ladder below attaches to this substance on the strength of this instrument. Those sizes decide the charge. Under Criminal Code Article 296 a quantity below крупный draws a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices or arrest of up to 40 days, a крупный quantity up to 200 indices or 50 days, and only an особо крупный quantity carries prison, three to seven years under part 4. Article 296 part 1 is the separate offence of non-medical consumption in a public place. Anything done with intent to supply moves to Article 297, five to eight years with confiscation at part 1 and fifteen to twenty years at part 4, while Article 297-1, which the law of 2 January 2025 No. 150-VIII inserted, punishes manufacture and processing for supply and reaches life imprisonment. Every one of those rungs is read off a size band in the Сводная таблица, and for an unlisted substance there is no band to read. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass.

Zolpidem

Legal status: Zolpidem is named in Kazakhstan's controlled list. The first of the three documents Government Resolution No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approves, the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан, carries the entry Золпидем at item 16 of section В of Таблица III of the Список, the schedule of substances used for medical purposes and held under control. The second document, the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes, then carries the row Золпидем and sets небольшой размер at 0-0,6 grams, крупный размер at 0,6-30 grams and особо крупный размер above 30,0 grams. The zolpidem row takes the barbiturate pattern rather than the benzodiazepine one, 0-0,6 grams and then 0,6 to 30 grams, which puts the особо крупный threshold at about three thousand 10 mg tablets. It sits in the lighter of the two medical schedules. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text, not an earlier one. [Certain] on the placement and the figures, both re-derived from the instrument in this pass. [Likely] Re-derived in this pass as far as a secondary source allows, and it changes what an absence from Resolution 470 means for this row: Kazakhstan runs a separate category of сильнодействующие и ядовитые вещества outside that Resolution, fixed by the Order of the Minister of Health No. 120 of 26 December 2023 approving the List of Potent Substances Having Harmful Effects on Human Life and Health, and punished by Criminal Code Article 301. A Kazakh pharmaceutical-sector explainer of the 2026 change states that the list reaches preparations containing zolpidem. Criminal liability for unlawful trafficking in a listed potent substance, including dispensing it from a pharmacy without a prescription, took effect on 1 January 2026 under Law No. 150-VIII of 2 January 2025. Order 120 itself was not read in this pass, so the naming is carried from that explainer and not from the list.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Kazakhstan has abolished the death penalty. No capital punishment remains available anywhere in its Criminal Code, because the law of 29 December 2021 numbered 89-VII on abolition replaced the words carrying it in Article 11 with life imprisonment, and Article 46 now names life imprisonment as the heaviest penalty the Code holds. Kazakhstan grades the offence by the size band. Criminal Code Article 296 part 2 meets ordinary possession without intent to supply with a fine of up to 160 monthly calculation indices, corrective labour, community work or arrest of up to 40 days, part 3 meets a крупный quantity with up to 200 indices or 50 days, and part 4 meets an особо крупный quantity with three to seven years of imprisonment. Public non-medical consumption is part 1. Supply is Article 297 at five to eight years with confiscation and up to fifteen to twenty years for its aggravated forms, and Article 297-1, inserted on 2 January 2025 by law No. 150-VIII, covers manufacture and processing for supply with life imprisonment available at part 4. The row that carries those figures is Золпидем, and for Zolpidem the custodial rung therefore opens above 30,0 grams. Article 296 also carries a note releasing from liability under that article a person who voluntarily hands the substance over, seeks medical help or actively assists in uncovering a related offence. [Likely] The Criminal Code articles and their year ranges in this cell were read from secondary consolidations rather than from an official publisher in this pass. Two independent consolidations agree on them, and the Code's own article text was not reached: the state portal served only its contents list. The abolition of the death penalty, by contrast, was confirmed against the Code itself and is tagged [Certain] where it appears. [Likely] Carried from the entry published before this batch and not re-derived in this pass: the two middle rungs of that ladder are six to ten years for part 2 and seven to twelve years for part 3.
If prescribed / medical: Таблица III of the Список is headed as the schedule of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances used for medical purposes and held under control, which is the lighter of the two medical schedules, so Zolpidem has a domestic prescribing route. The Resolution fixes the schedule and the seizure sizes and says nothing about what a visitor may bring in, so the carriage question is answered by the health ministry's import rules and not by this text.
Documentation: Provenance. The placement and the grams on this row were read from the consolidated text of Government Resolution of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 470 of 3 July 2019 approving the Список наркотических средств, психотропных веществ и прекурсоров, подлежащих контролю в Республике Казахстан and the Сводная таблица of small, large and particularly large sizes at https://zakon.uchet.kz/rus/docs/P1900000470, which is the state legal information system's copy, on 2026-09-21. The tables were parsed by column position rather than by reading them as a stream of lines, which matters because a blank небольшой размер cell is a real feature of this table and a line reader silently shifts the remaining figures one column left. The copy read carries the amendment of 24 February 2026 made by Government Resolution No. 111, and the Сводная таблица is wholly in that redaction, so every size quoted here is the 24 February 2026 text. Russian names are quoted as the instrument prints them, except that the list prints the Список entries in capitals and they are given here in ordinary case.
