Enforcement in practice is uneven, and the treatment-diversion mechanism has been only partly implemented.

In Lebanon, drugs fall under Act No. 673 of 16 March 1998 on Narcotic Drugs, Psychotropic Substances and Precursors ('Act 673/1998'). Drug trafficking carries life imprisonment — the statutory maximum. Use or possession for personal use is punished more lightly, up to about 6 months' imprisonment plus a fine, and Act 673/1998 (arts 182–190) establishes a divert-to-treatment route: prosecution can be suspended while the user completes State-provided treatment through a specialised committee, with the case dropped on successful completion. Enforcement in practice is uneven, and the treatment-diversion mechanism has been only partly implemented.
- If prescribed / medical
- If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).
