Confirmed legal status

1P-LSD

Legal status: 1P-LSD is controlled in Lithuania. Order No. 5 names 1P-LSD. The entry relied on reads «1p-LSD, N,N-dietil-7-metil-4-propanoil-6,6a,8,9-tetrahidroindolo[4,3-f,g]chinolin-9-karboksamidas (N,N-diethyl-7-methyl-4-propanoyl-6,6a,8,9-tetrahydroindolo[4,3-f,g]quinoline-9-carboxamide)», and the source states that its spelling and chemistry were checked against the order rather than matched on an English name alone. The chain has four links and each one matters. The Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law, at article 4, delegates classification to the Ministry of Health. Health Minister Order No. 5 of 6 January 2000 is the resulting list and carries Schedules I to IV. Criminal Code article 269(1) makes those ministerial lists the Criminal Code's own drug definition. Criminal Code article 269(2) then sends the quantity question to ministerial recommendations, and Health Minister Order V-239 of 23 April 2003 supplies the figures. The list and the amount table are two different instruments, and a substance can be controlled by Order No. 5 while its cells in Order V-239 are blank. That is the single thing English accounts of Lithuanian law most often get wrong, and it is why control and quantity are stated separately on this row. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The current consolidation of Order No. 5 begins on 18 June 2025 and the current consolidation of Order V-239 begins on the same day; the Control Law edition read includes the changes effective 1 November 2025 and the Criminal Code edition read was effective 3 July 2026.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Lithuania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence, so neither is available for 1P-LSD. The ceiling is 15 years under Criminal Code article 260(3), which applies where the amount is very large. The scale is set by which amount band the quantity falls in. Article 259 covers possession without intent to distribute and its subsection (2) is the small-quantity misdemeanour. Article 260(1) punishes distribution-purpose conduct by 2 to 8 years. Article 260(2) applies to a large amount and carries 8 to 10 years. Article 260(3) applies to a very large amount and carries 10 to 15 years. Order V-239 prints three figures for this entry at table item 45: a small amount of not more than 0,0005 g, a large amount of more than 0,05 g, and a very large amount of more than 0,25 g. Those three columns are what select the offence.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for 1P-LSD depends on which of the four schedules of Order No. 5 carries the entry, and this row does not state the schedule number because the source records the list entry and the amount table rather than the schedule division. Schedule IV matters more than an English reader expects: it carries amyl nitrite, nitrous oxide, gamma-butyrolactone and the other alkyl nitrites, and it ends at item 402. Handling outside an authorisation is what the Criminal Code punishes, so a licensed medical or scientific use runs inside the Control Law rather than around it. Treat the detail of the route for 1P-LSD as unread and put the question to the State Medicines Control Agency of Lithuania.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for 1P-LSD, and get the State Medicines Control Agency of Lithuania to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for 1P-LSD appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. Provenance follows. The instruments were read on the Register of Legal Acts and the Seimas legal acts portal, both official, on 18 September 2026: Health Minister Order No. 5, Health Minister Order V-239, the Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law and the Criminal Code. The basis recorded for this row is a named list entry.

2-FDCK

Legal status: 2-FDCK is controlled in Lithuania. Order No. 5 does not name 2-FDCK on its own.

Order V-239 prints three figures for this entry at table item 48: a small amount of not more than 0,02 g, a large amount of more than 2 g, and a very large amount of more than 10 g. Those three columns are what select the offence.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for 2C-T-7 depends on which of the four schedules of Order No. 5 carries the entry, and this row does not state the schedule number because the source records the list entry and the amount table rather than the schedule division. Schedule IV matters more than an English reader expects: it carries amyl nitrite, nitrous oxide, gamma-butyrolactone and the other alkyl nitrites, and it ends at item 402. Handling outside an authorisation is what the Criminal Code punishes, so a licensed medical or scientific use runs inside the Control Law rather than around it. Treat the detail of the route for 2C-T-7 as unread and put the question to the State Medicines Control Agency of Lithuania.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for 2C-T-7, and get the State Medicines Control Agency of Lithuania to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for 2C-T-7 appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. Provenance follows. The instruments were read on the Register of Legal Acts and the Seimas legal acts portal, both official, on 18 September 2026: Health Minister Order No. 5, Health Minister Order V-239, the Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law and the Criminal Code. The basis recorded for this row is a named list entry.

3-MMC

Legal status: 3-MMC is controlled in Lithuania. Order No. 5 does not name 3-MMC on its own. It is reached through the printed group entry «Katinono darinių ir katinono bioizosterinių darinių grupė», so the result is a fit to that group rather than an entry in its own name. The chain has four links and each one matters. The Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law, at article 4, delegates classification to the Ministry of Health. Health Minister Order No. 5 of 6 January 2000 is the resulting list and carries Schedules I to IV. Criminal Code article 269(1) makes those ministerial lists the Criminal Code's own drug definition. Criminal Code article 269(2) then sends the quantity question to ministerial recommendations, and Health Minister Order V-239 of 23 April 2003 supplies the figures. The list and the amount table are two different instruments, and a substance can be controlled by Order No. 5 while its cells in Order V-239 are blank. That is the single thing English accounts of Lithuanian law most often get wrong, and it is why control and quantity are stated separately on this row. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The current consolidation of Order No. 5 begins on 18 June 2025 and the current consolidation of Order V-239 begins on the same day; the Control Law edition read includes the changes effective 1 November 2025 and the Criminal Code edition read was effective 3 July 2026.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Lithuania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence, so neither is available for 3-MMC. The ceiling is 15 years under Criminal Code article 260(3), which applies where the amount is very large. The scale is set by which amount band the quantity falls in. Article 259 covers possession without intent to distribute and its subsection (2) is the small-quantity misdemeanour. Article 260(1) punishes distribution-purpose conduct by 2 to 8 years.

Legal status: 6-APB is controlled in Lithuania. Order No. 5 does not name 6-APB on its own. It is reached through the printed group entry «Amfetamino darinių ir amfetamino bioizosterinių darinių grupė», so the result is a fit to that group rather than an entry in its own name.

7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH)

Legal status: 7-hydroxymitragynine is not listed in the Lithuanian narcotic and psychotropic lists. Health Minister Order No. 5 is the list that Criminal Code article 269(1) adopts as the Code's drug definition, and no entry for 7-hydroxymitragynine was found in it. The source records the Lithuanian language search run for this row and the terms used: 7-hidroksimitragininas; 7-hydroxymitragynine. Both Order No. 5 and Order V-239 were searched, and all four schedules of the order were covered. The search was run in Lithuanian rather than in English, which matters because the order is printed in Lithuanian and an English search returns a false absence. The chain has four links and each one matters. The Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law, at article 4, delegates classification to the Ministry of Health. Health Minister Order No. 5 of 6 January 2000 is the resulting list and carries Schedules I to IV. Criminal Code article 269(1) makes those ministerial lists the Criminal Code's own drug definition. Criminal Code article 269(2) then sends the quantity question to ministerial recommendations, and Health Minister Order V-239 of 23 April 2003 supplies the figures. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The current consolidation of Order No. 5 begins on 18 June 2025 and the current consolidation of Order V-239 begins on the same day; the Control Law edition read includes the changes effective 1 November 2025 and the Criminal Code edition read was effective 3 July 2026. An absence is a statement about a list at a moment, and this one is stated as at that consolidation and no later.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Lithuania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence, and in any event none of the drug penalties reach 7-hydroxymitragynine, because articles 259 and 260 attach to the substances in Order No. 5 and 7-hydroxymitragynine is not one of them. The 15 year ceiling under Criminal Code article 260(3) is therefore not assigned on this record, and Order V-239 prints no small, large or very large amount for 7-hydroxymitragynine. If a controlled constituent is proved in a given material, that constituent's own table row governs and this row does not.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled substance prescription question for 7-hydroxymitragynine in Lithuania, because Order No. 5 does not carry it and the Control Law's licensing machinery follows that order. Whether 7-hydroxymitragynine is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Lithuanian medicines regime, which this row did not audit. The State Medicines Control Agency of Lithuania is the body that answers it. Treat the supply route for 7-hydroxymitragynine as unread rather than as open.
Documentation: Carry 7-hydroxymitragynine as the Lithuanian medicines regime allows and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance that is off the controlled lists is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for 7-hydroxymitragynine and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for 7-hydroxymitragynine appears in what was read here. Provenance follows. Order No. 5 and Order V-239 were searched in Lithuanian on the official Register of Legal Acts on 18 September 2026 and no entry was found. The final rows of the quantity annex were read: Schedule IV ends at item 402, isopropyl nitrite, after the nitrous oxide, gamma-butyrolactone and other alkyl nitrite entries, so the search reached the end of the instrument rather than stopping at the older Schedule III drug list.

Adderall

Legal status: Adderall is controlled in Lithuania. Order No. 5 names Adderall. The entry relied on reads «Amfetaminas (Amfetamine)», and the source states that its spelling and chemistry were checked against the order rather than matched on an English name alone. The chain has four links and each one matters. The Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law, at article 4, delegates classification to the Ministry of Health. Health Minister Order No. 5 of 6 January 2000 is the resulting list and carries Schedules I to IV. Criminal Code article 269(1) makes those ministerial lists the Criminal Code's own drug definition. Criminal Code article 269(2) then sends the quantity question to ministerial recommendations, and Health Minister Order V-239 of 23 April 2003 supplies the figures. The list and the amount table are two different instruments, and a substance can be controlled by Order No. 5 while its cells in Order V-239 are blank. That is the single thing English accounts of Lithuanian law most often get wrong, and it is why control and quantity are stated separately on this row. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The current consolidation of Order No. 5 begins on 18 June 2025 and the current consolidation of Order V-239 begins on the same day; the Control Law edition read includes the changes effective 1 November 2025 and the Criminal Code edition read was effective 3 July 2026.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Lithuania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence, so neither is available for Adderall. The ceiling is 15 years under Criminal Code article 260(3), which applies where the amount is very large. The scale is set by which amount band the quantity falls in. Article 259 covers possession without intent to distribute and its subsection (2) is the small-quantity misdemeanour. Article 260(1) punishes distribution-purpose conduct by 2 to 8 years. Article 260(2) applies to a large amount and carries 8 to 10 years. Article 260(3) applies to a very large amount and carries 10 to 15 years. Order V-239 prints three figures for this entry: a small amount of not more than 0,2 g, a large amount of more than 20 g, and a very large amount of more than 100 g. Those three columns are what select the offence.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for Adderall depends on which of the four schedules of Order No. 5 carries the entry, and this row does not state the schedule number because the source records the list entry and the amount table rather than the schedule division. Schedule IV matters more than an English reader expects: it carries amyl nitrite, nitrous oxide, gamma-butyrolactone and the other alkyl nitrites, and it ends at item 402. Handling outside an authorisation is what the Criminal Code punishes, so a licensed medical or scientific use runs inside the Control Law rather than around it. Treat the detail of the route for Adderall as unread and put the question to the State Medicines Control Agency of Lithuania.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for Adderall, and get the State Medicines Control Agency of Lithuania to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for Adderall appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. Provenance follows. The instruments were read on the Register of Legal Acts and the Seimas legal acts portal, both official, on 18 September 2026: Health Minister Order No. 5, Health Minister Order V-239, the Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law and the Criminal Code. The basis recorded for this row is a named list entry.

Alcohol

Legal status: Alcohol is not listed in the Lithuanian narcotic and psychotropic lists. Health Minister Order No. 5 is the list that Criminal Code article 269(1) adopts as the Code's drug definition, and no entry for alcohol was found in it. The source records the Lithuanian language search run for this row and the terms used: alkoholis; etanolis; ethanol. Both Order No. 5 and Order V-239 were searched, and all four schedules of the order were covered. The search was run in Lithuanian rather than in English, which matters because the order is printed in Lithuanian and an English search returns a false absence. The chain has four links and each one matters. The Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law, at article 4, delegates classification to the Ministry of Health. Health Minister Order No. 5 of 6 January 2000 is the resulting list and carries Schedules I to IV. Criminal Code article 269(1) makes those ministerial lists the Criminal Code's own drug definition. Criminal Code article 269(2) then sends the quantity question to ministerial recommendations, and Health Minister Order V-239 of 23 April 2003 supplies the figures. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The current consolidation of Order No. 5 begins on 18 June 2025 and the current consolidation of Order V-239 begins on the same day; the Control Law edition read includes the changes effective 1 November 2025 and the Criminal Code edition read was effective 3 July 2026. An absence is a statement about a list at a moment, and this one is stated as at that consolidation and no later.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Lithuania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence, and in any event none of the drug penalties reach alcohol, because articles 259 and 260 attach to the substances in Order No. 5 and alcohol is not one of them. The 15 year ceiling under Criminal Code article 260(3) is therefore not assigned on this record, and Order V-239 prints no small, large or very large amount for alcohol. If a controlled constituent is proved in a given material, that constituent's own table row governs and this row does not.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled substance prescription question for alcohol in Lithuania, because Order No. 5 does not carry it and the Control Law's licensing machinery follows that order. Whether alcohol is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Lithuanian medicines regime, which this row did not audit. The State Medicines Control Agency of Lithuania is the body that answers it. Treat the supply route for alcohol as unread rather than as open.
Documentation: Carry alcohol as the Lithuanian medicines regime allows and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance that is off the controlled lists is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for alcohol and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for alcohol appears in what was read here. Provenance follows. Order No. 5 and Order V-239 were searched in Lithuanian on the official Register of Legal Acts on 18 September 2026 and no entry was found. The final rows of the quantity annex were read: Schedule IV ends at item 402, isopropyl nitrite, after the nitrous oxide, gamma-butyrolactone and other alkyl nitrite entries, so the search reached the end of the instrument rather than stopping at the older Schedule III drug list.

Amanita muscaria

Legal status: Amanita muscaria is controlled in Lithuania. Order No. 5 does not name Amanita muscaria as such. The entry relied on reads «Muscimolis (Muscimol, 5-(aminomethyl)-1,2-oxazol-3(2H)-one)», which is a constituent, so the result turns on proving that constituent in the material rather than on the label. The chain has four links and each one matters. The Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law, at article 4, delegates classification to the Ministry of Health. Health Minister Order No. 5 of 6 January 2000 is the resulting list and carries Schedules I to IV. Criminal Code article 269(1) makes those ministerial lists the Criminal Code's own drug definition. Criminal Code article 269(2) then sends the quantity question to ministerial recommendations, and Health Minister Order V-239 of 23 April 2003 supplies the figures. The list and the amount table are two different instruments, and a substance can be controlled by Order No. 5 while its cells in Order V-239 are blank. That is the single thing English accounts of Lithuanian law most often get wrong, and it is why control and quantity are stated separately on this row. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The current consolidation of Order No. 5 begins on 18 June 2025 and the current consolidation of Order V-239 begins on the same day; the Control Law edition read includes the changes effective 1 November 2025 and the Criminal Code edition read was effective 3 July 2026.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Lithuania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence, so neither is available for Amanita muscaria. The ceiling is 15 years under Criminal Code article 260(3), which applies where the amount is very large. The scale is set by which amount band the quantity falls in. Article 259 covers possession without intent to distribute and its subsection (2) is the small-quantity misdemeanour. Article 260(1) punishes distribution-purpose conduct by 2 to 8 years. Article 260(2) applies to a large amount and carries 8 to 10 years. Article 260(3) applies to a very large amount and carries 10 to 15 years. Order V-239 prints no single set of figures for this row, so the small, large and very large bands have to be taken from the identified member or constituent rather than from a line of its own.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for Amanita muscaria depends on which of the four schedules of Order No. 5 carries the entry, and this row does not state the schedule number because the source records the list entry and the amount table rather than the schedule division. Schedule IV matters more than an English reader expects: it carries amyl nitrite, nitrous oxide, gamma-butyrolactone and the other alkyl nitrites, and it ends at item 402. Handling outside an authorisation is what the Criminal Code punishes, so a licensed medical or scientific use runs inside the Control Law rather than around it.

Amphetamine

Legal status: Amphetamine is controlled in Lithuania. Order No. 5 names amphetamine. The entry relied on reads «Amfetaminas (Amfetamine)», and the source states that its spelling and chemistry were checked against the order rather than matched on an English name alone. The chain has four links and each one matters. The Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law, at article 4, delegates classification to the Ministry of Health.

Those three columns are what select the offence.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for amphetamine depends on which of the four schedules of Order No. 5 carries the entry, and this row does not state the schedule number because the source records the list entry and the amount table rather than the schedule division.

Barbiturates

Legal status: Barbiturates is controlled in Lithuania. Barbiturates is a family label and Order No. 5 gives it no single result. The order controls named members and Order V-239 prints a different set of figures for each, so the answer depends on which member is identified. The related text reads «Fenobarbitalis (Phenobarbital)». The chain has four links and each one matters. The Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law, at article 4, delegates classification to the Ministry of Health. Health Minister Order No. 5 of 6 January 2000 is the resulting list and carries Schedules I to IV. Criminal Code article 269(1) makes those ministerial lists the Criminal Code's own drug definition. Criminal Code article 269(2) then sends the quantity question to ministerial recommendations, and Health Minister Order V-239 of 23 April 2003 supplies the figures. The list and the amount table are two different instruments, and a substance can be controlled by Order No. 5 while its cells in Order V-239 are blank. That is the single thing English accounts of Lithuanian law most often get wrong, and it is why control and quantity are stated separately on this row. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The current consolidation of Order No. 5 begins on 18 June 2025 and the current consolidation of Order V-239 begins on the same day; the Control Law edition read includes the changes effective 1 November 2025 and the Criminal Code edition read was effective 3 July 2026.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Lithuania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence, so neither is available for barbiturates. The ceiling is 15 years under Criminal Code article 260(3), which applies where the amount is very large. The scale is set by which amount band the quantity falls in. Article 259 covers possession without intent to distribute and its subsection (2) is the small-quantity misdemeanour. Article 260(1) punishes distribution-purpose conduct by 2 to 8 years. Article 260(2) applies to a large amount and carries 8 to 10 years. Article 260(3) applies to a very large amount and carries 10 to 15 years. Order V-239 prints no single set of figures for this row, so the small, large and very large bands have to be taken from the identified member or constituent rather than from a line of its own.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for barbiturates depends on which of the four schedules of Order No. 5 carries the entry, and this row does not state the schedule number because the source records the list entry and the amount table rather than the schedule division. Schedule IV matters more than an English reader expects: it carries amyl nitrite, nitrous oxide, gamma-butyrolactone and the other alkyl nitrites, and it ends at item 402. Handling outside an authorisation is what the Criminal Code punishes, so a licensed medical or scientific use runs inside the Control Law rather than around it. Treat the detail of the route for barbiturates as unread and put the question to the State Medicines Control Agency of Lithuania.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for barbiturates, and get the State Medicines Control Agency of Lithuania to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for barbiturates appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. Provenance follows. The instruments were read on the Register of Legal Acts and the Seimas legal acts portal, both official, on 18 September 2026: Health Minister Order No. 5, Health Minister Order V-239, the Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law and the Criminal Code.

Benzodiazepines

The order controls named members and Order V-239 prints a different set of figures for each, so the answer depends on which member is identified. The related text reads «Alprazolamas (Alprazolam)». The chain has four links and each one matters. The Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law, at article 4, delegates classification to the Ministry of Health. Health Minister Order No. 5 of 6 January 2000 is the resulting list and carries Schedules I to IV. Criminal Code article 269(1) makes those ministerial lists the Criminal Code's own drug definition. Criminal Code article 269(2) then sends the quantity question to ministerial recommendations, and Health Minister Order V-239 of 23 April 2003 supplies the figures. The list and the amount table are two different instruments, and a substance can be controlled by Order No. 5 while its cells in Order V-239 are blank. That is the single thing English accounts of Lithuanian law most often get wrong, and it is why control and quantity are stated separately on this row. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The current consolidation of Order No. 5 begins on 18 June 2025 and the current consolidation of Order V-239 begins on the same day; the Control Law edition read includes the changes effective 1 November 2025 and the Criminal Code edition read was effective 3 July 2026.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Lithuania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence, so neither is available for benzodiazepines. The ceiling is 15 years under Criminal Code article 260(3), which applies where the amount is very large. The scale is set by which amount band the quantity falls in. Article 259 covers possession without intent to distribute and its subsection (2) is the small-quantity misdemeanour. Article 260(1) punishes distribution-purpose conduct by 2 to 8 years. Article 260(2) applies to a large amount and carries 8 to 10 years. Article 260(3) applies to a very large amount and carries 10 to 15 years. Order V-239 prints no single set of figures for this row, so the small, large and very large bands have to be taken from the identified member or constituent rather than from a line of its own.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for benzodiazepines depends on which of the four schedules of Order No. 5 carries the entry, and this row does not state the schedule number because the source records the list entry and the amount table rather than the schedule division. Schedule IV matters more than an English reader expects: it carries amyl nitrite, nitrous oxide, gamma-butyrolactone and the other alkyl nitrites, and it ends at item 402. Handling outside an authorisation is what the Criminal Code punishes, so a licensed medical or scientific use runs inside the Control Law rather than around it. Treat the detail of the route for benzodiazepines as unread and put the question to the State Medicines Control Agency of Lithuania.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for benzodiazepines, and get the State Medicines Control Agency of Lithuania to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for benzodiazepines appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. Provenance follows. The instruments were read on the Register of Legal Acts and the Seimas legal acts portal, both official, on 18 September 2026: Health Minister Order No. 5, Health Minister Order V-239, the Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law and the Criminal Code. The basis recorded for this row is named members of the family, each with its own printed figures.

Buprenorphine

Legal status: Buprenorphine is controlled in Lithuania. Order No. 5 names buprenorphine. The entry relied on reads «Buprenorfinas (Buprenorphine)», and the source states that its spelling and chemistry were checked against the order rather than matched on an English name alone.

Order V-239 prints three figures for this entry at table item 297: a small amount of not more than 0,04 g, a large amount of more than 0,3 g, and a very large amount of more than 3 g. Those three columns are what select the offence.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for buprenorphine depends on which of the four schedules of Order No. 5 carries the entry, and this row does not state the schedule number because the source records the list entry and the amount table rather than the schedule division.

Caffeine

Legal status: Caffeine is not listed in the Lithuanian narcotic and psychotropic lists. Health Minister Order No. 5 is the list that Criminal Code article 269(1) adopts as the Code's drug definition, and no entry for caffeine was found in it. The source records the Lithuanian language search run for this row and the terms used: kofeinas; caffeine. Both Order No. 5 and Order V-239 were searched, and all four schedules of the order were covered. The search was run in Lithuanian rather than in English, which matters because the order is printed in Lithuanian and an English search returns a false absence. The chain has four links and each one matters. The Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law, at article 4, delegates classification to the Ministry of Health. Health Minister Order No. 5 of 6 January 2000 is the resulting list and carries Schedules I to IV. Criminal Code article 269(1) makes those ministerial lists the Criminal Code's own drug definition.

An absence is a statement about a list at a moment, and this one is stated as at that consolidation and no later.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Lithuania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence, and in any event none of the drug penalties reach caffeine, because articles 259 and 260 attach to the substances in Order No. 5 and caffeine is not one of them. The 15 year ceiling under Criminal Code article 260(3) is therefore not assigned on this record, and Order V-239 prints no small, large or very large amount for caffeine. If a controlled constituent is proved in a given material, that constituent's own table row governs and this row does not.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled substance prescription question for caffeine in Lithuania, because Order No. 5 does not carry it and the Control Law's licensing machinery follows that order. Whether caffeine is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Lithuanian medicines regime, which this row did not audit. The State Medicines Control Agency of Lithuania is the body that answers it. Treat the supply route for caffeine as unread rather than as open.
Documentation: Carry caffeine as the Lithuanian medicines regime allows and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance that is off the controlled lists is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for caffeine and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for caffeine appears in what was read here. Provenance follows. Order No. 5 and Order V-239 were searched in Lithuanian on the official Register of Legal Acts on 18 September 2026 and no entry was found. The final rows of the quantity annex were read: Schedule IV ends at item 402, isopropyl nitrite, after the nitrous oxide, gamma-butyrolactone and other alkyl nitrite entries, so the search reached the end of the instrument rather than stopping at the older Schedule III drug list.

Cannabinol

Legal status: Cannabinol is not listed in the Lithuanian narcotic and psychotropic lists. Health Minister Order No. 5 is the list that Criminal Code article 269(1) adopts as the Code's drug definition, and no entry for cannabinol was found in it. The source records the Lithuanian language search run for this row and the terms used: kanabinolis; cannabinol; CBN. Both Order No. 5 and Order V-239 were searched, and all four schedules of the order were covered.

An absence is a statement about a list at a moment, and this one is stated as at that consolidation and no later.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Lithuania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence, and in any event none of the drug penalties reach cannabinol, because articles 259 and 260 attach to the substances in Order No. 5 and cannabinol is not one of them.

Cannabis / THC

Legal status: Cannabis is controlled in Lithuania. Order No. 5 names cannabis. The entry relied on reads «Kanapės (antžeminės dalys) (Cannabis plant)», and the source states that its spelling and chemistry were checked against the order rather than matched on an English name alone.

Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Lithuania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence, so neither is available for clonazepam. The ceiling is 15 years under Criminal Code article 260(3), which applies where the amount is very large. The scale is set by which amount band the quantity falls in. Article 259 covers possession without intent to distribute and its subsection (2) is the small-quantity misdemeanour. Article 260(1) punishes distribution-purpose conduct by 2 to 8 years. Article 260(2) applies to a large amount and carries 8 to 10 years. Article 260(3) applies to a very large amount and carries 10 to 15 years. Order V-239 prints three figures for this entry at table item 357: a small amount of not more than 0,01 g, a large amount of more than 0,12 g, and a very large amount of more than 0,6 g. Those three columns are what select the offence.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for clonazepam depends on which of the four schedules of Order No. 5 carries the entry, and this row does not state the schedule number because the source records the list entry and the amount table rather than the schedule division. Schedule IV matters more than an English reader expects: it carries amyl nitrite, nitrous oxide, gamma-butyrolactone and the other alkyl nitrites, and it ends at item 402. Handling outside an authorisation is what the Criminal Code punishes, so a licensed medical or scientific use runs inside the Control Law rather than around it. Treat the detail of the route for clonazepam as unread and put the question to the State Medicines Control Agency of Lithuania.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for clonazepam, and get the State Medicines Control Agency of Lithuania to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for clonazepam appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. Provenance follows. The instruments were read on the Register of Legal Acts and the Seimas legal acts portal, both official, on 18 September 2026: Health Minister Order No. 5, Health Minister Order V-239, the Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law and the Criminal Code. The basis recorded for this row is a named list entry.

Cocaine

Legal status: Cocaine is controlled in Lithuania. Order No. 5 names cocaine. The entry relied on reads «Kokainas (Cocaine)», and the source states that its spelling and chemistry were checked against the order rather than matched on an English name alone. The chain has four links and each one matters. The Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law, at article 4, delegates classification to the Ministry of Health. Health Minister Order No. 5 of 6 January 2000 is the resulting list and carries Schedules I to IV. Criminal Code article 269(1) makes those ministerial lists the Criminal Code's own drug definition. Criminal Code article 269(2) then sends the quantity question to ministerial recommendations, and Health Minister Order V-239 of 23 April 2003 supplies the figures. The list and the amount table are two different instruments, and a substance can be controlled by Order No. 5 while its cells in Order V-239 are blank. That is the single thing English accounts of Lithuanian law most often get wrong, and it is why control and quantity are stated separately on this row.

The chain has four links and each one matters. The Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law, at article 4, delegates classification to the Ministry of Health. Health Minister Order No. 5 of 6 January 2000 is the resulting list and carries Schedules I to IV. Criminal Code article 269(1) makes those ministerial lists the Criminal Code's own drug definition. Criminal Code article 269(2) then sends the quantity question to ministerial recommendations, and Health Minister Order V-239 of 23 April 2003 supplies the figures. The list and the amount table are two different instruments, and a substance can be controlled by Order No. 5 while its cells in Order V-239 are blank. That is the single thing English accounts of Lithuanian law most often get wrong, and it is why control and quantity are stated separately on this row. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The current consolidation of Order No. 5 begins on 18 June 2025 and the current consolidation of Order V-239 begins on the same day; the Control Law edition read includes the changes effective 1 November 2025 and the Criminal Code edition read was effective 3 July 2026.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Lithuania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence, so neither is available for DOM. The ceiling is 15 years under Criminal Code article 260(3), which applies where the amount is very large. The scale is set by which amount band the quantity falls in. Article 259 covers possession without intent to distribute and its subsection (2) is the small-quantity misdemeanour. Article 260(1) punishes distribution-purpose conduct by 2 to 8 years. Article 260(2) applies to a large amount and carries 8 to 10 years. Article 260(3) applies to a very large amount and carries 10 to 15 years. Order V-239 prints three figures for this entry at table item 164: a small amount of not more than 0,2 g, a large amount of more than 20 g, and a very large amount of more than 100 g. Those three columns are what select the offence.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for DOM depends on which of the four schedules of Order No. 5 carries the entry, and this row does not state the schedule number because the source records the list entry and the amount table rather than the schedule division. Schedule IV matters more than an English reader expects: it carries amyl nitrite, nitrous oxide, gamma-butyrolactone and the other alkyl nitrites, and it ends at item 402. Handling outside an authorisation is what the Criminal Code punishes, so a licensed medical or scientific use runs inside the Control Law rather than around it. Treat the detail of the route for DOM as unread and put the question to the State Medicines Control Agency of Lithuania.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for DOM, and get the State Medicines Control Agency of Lithuania to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for DOM appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. Provenance follows. The instruments were read on the Register of Legal Acts and the Seimas legal acts portal, both official, on 18 September 2026: Health Minister Order No. 5, Health Minister Order V-239, the Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law and the Criminal Code. The basis recorded for this row is a named list entry.

DXM

Legal status: DXM is not listed in the Lithuanian narcotic and psychotropic lists. Health Minister Order No. 5 is the list that Criminal Code article 269(1) adopts as the Code's drug definition, and no entry for DXM was found in it. The source records the Lithuanian language search run for this row and the terms used: dekstrometorfanas; dextromethorphan; DXM. Both Order No. 5 and Order V-239 were searched, and all four schedules of the order were covered. The search was run in Lithuanian rather than in English, which matters because the order is printed in Lithuanian and an English search returns a false absence. The chain has four links and each one matters. The Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law, at article 4, delegates classification to the Ministry of Health. Health Minister Order No. 5 of 6 January 2000 is the resulting list and carries Schedules I to IV. Criminal Code article 269(1) makes those ministerial lists the Criminal Code's own drug definition. Criminal Code article 269(2) then sends the quantity question to ministerial recommendations, and Health Minister Order V-239 of 23 April 2003 supplies the figures. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The current consolidation of Order No. 5 begins on 18 June 2025 and the current consolidation of Order V-239 begins on the same day; the Control Law edition read includes the changes effective 1 November 2025 and the Criminal Code edition read was effective 3 July 2026. An absence is a statement about a list at a moment, and this one is stated as at that consolidation and no later.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Lithuania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence, and in any event none of the drug penalties reach DXM, because articles 259 and 260 attach to the substances in Order No. 5 and DXM is not one of them. The 15 year ceiling under Criminal Code article 260(3) is therefore not assigned on this record, and Order V-239 prints no small, large or very large amount for DXM. If a controlled constituent is proved in a given material, that constituent's own table row governs and this row does not.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled substance prescription question for DXM in Lithuania, because Order No. 5 does not carry it and the Control Law's licensing machinery follows that order. Whether DXM is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Lithuanian medicines regime, which this row did not audit. The State Medicines Control Agency of Lithuania is the body that answers it. Treat the supply route for DXM as unread rather than as open.
Documentation: Carry DXM as the Lithuanian medicines regime allows and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance that is off the controlled lists is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for DXM and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for DXM appears in what was read here. Provenance follows. Order No. 5 and Order V-239 were searched in Lithuanian on the official Register of Legal Acts on 18 September 2026 and no entry was found. The final rows of the quantity annex were read: Schedule IV ends at item 402, isopropyl nitrite, after the nitrous oxide, gamma-butyrolactone and other alkyl nitrite entries, so the search reached the end of the instrument rather than stopping at the older Schedule III drug list.

Ephedrine

Legal status: Ephedrine is not listed in the Lithuanian narcotic and psychotropic lists. Health Minister Order No. 5 is the list that Criminal Code article 269(1) adopts as the Code's drug definition, and no entry for ephedrine was found in it. The source records the Lithuanian language search run for this row and the terms used: efedrinas; ephedrine. Both Order No. 5 and Order V-239 were searched, and all four schedules of the order were covered.

Etizolam

Legal status: Etizolam is controlled in Lithuania. Order No. 5 names etizolam. The entry relied on reads «Etizolamas (Etizolam)», and the source states that its spelling and chemistry were checked against the order rather than matched on an English name alone. The chain has four links and each one matters. The Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law, at article 4, delegates classification to the Ministry of Health. Health Minister Order No. 5 of 6 January 2000 is the resulting list and carries Schedules I to IV. Criminal Code article 269(1) makes those ministerial lists the Criminal Code's own drug definition. Criminal Code article 269(2) then sends the quantity question to ministerial recommendations, and Health Minister Order V-239 of 23 April 2003 supplies the figures. The list and the amount table are two different instruments, and a substance can be controlled by Order No. 5 while its cells in Order V-239 are blank.

Article 260(2) applies to a large amount and carries 8 to 10 years. Article 260(3) applies to a very large amount and carries 10 to 15 years. Order V-239 prints three figures for this entry at table item 339: a small amount of not more than 0,001 g, a large amount of more than 0,015 g, and a very large amount of more than 0,06 g. Those three columns are what select the offence.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for etizolam depends on which of the four schedules of Order No. 5 carries the entry, and this row does not state the schedule number because the source records the list entry and the amount table rather than the schedule division.

The current consolidation of Order No. 5 begins on 18 June 2025 and the current consolidation of Order V-239 begins on the same day; the Control Law edition read includes the changes effective 1 November 2025 and the Criminal Code edition read was effective 3 July 2026.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Lithuania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence, so neither is available for GHB. The ceiling is 15 years under Criminal Code article 260(3), which applies where the amount is very large. The scale is set by which amount band the quantity falls in. Article 259 covers possession without intent to distribute and its subsection (2) is the small-quantity misdemeanour. Article 260(1) punishes distribution-purpose conduct by 2 to 8 years. Article 260(2) applies to a large amount and carries 8 to 10 years. Article 260(3) applies to a very large amount and carries 10 to 15 years. Order V-239 prints three figures for this entry at table item 349: a small amount of not more than 4 g, a large amount of more than 60 g, and a very large amount of more than 300 g. Those three columns are what select the offence.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for GHB depends on which of the four schedules of Order No. 5 carries the entry, and this row does not state the schedule number because the source records the list entry and the amount table rather than the schedule division. Schedule IV matters more than an English reader expects: it carries amyl nitrite, nitrous oxide, gamma-butyrolactone and the other alkyl nitrites, and it ends at item 402. Handling outside an authorisation is what the Criminal Code punishes, so a licensed medical or scientific use runs inside the Control Law rather than around it. Treat the detail of the route for GHB as unread and put the question to the State Medicines Control Agency of Lithuania.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for GHB, and get the State Medicines Control Agency of Lithuania to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for GHB appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. Provenance follows. The instruments were read on the Register of Legal Acts and the Seimas legal acts portal, both official, on 18 September 2026: Health Minister Order No. 5, Health Minister Order V-239, the Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law and the Criminal Code.

Heroin

Legal status: Heroin is controlled in Lithuania. Order No. 5 names heroin. The entry relied on reads «Heroinas (Heroin)», and the source states that its spelling and chemistry were checked against the order rather than matched on an English name alone. The chain has four links and each one matters. The Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law, at article 4, delegates classification to the Ministry of Health. Health Minister Order No. 5 of 6 January 2000 is the resulting list and carries Schedules I to IV. Criminal Code article 269(1) makes those ministerial lists the Criminal Code's own drug definition. Criminal Code article 269(2) then sends the quantity question to ministerial recommendations, and Health Minister Order V-239 of 23 April 2003 supplies the figures. The list and the amount table are two different instruments, and a substance can be controlled by Order No. 5 while its cells in Order V-239 are blank.

The entry relied on reads «Lorazepamas (Lorazepam)», and the source states that its spelling and chemistry were checked against the order rather than matched on an English name alone. The chain has four links and each one matters. The Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law, at article 4, delegates classification to the Ministry of Health. Health Minister Order No. 5 of 6 January 2000 is the resulting list and carries Schedules I to IV. Criminal Code article 269(1) makes those ministerial lists the Criminal Code's own drug definition. Criminal Code article 269(2) then sends the quantity question to ministerial recommendations, and Health Minister Order V-239 of 23 April 2003 supplies the figures. The list and the amount table are two different instruments, and a substance can be controlled by Order No. 5 while its cells in Order V-239 are blank. That is the single thing English accounts of Lithuanian law most often get wrong, and it is why control and quantity are stated separately on this row. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The current consolidation of Order No. 5 begins on 18 June 2025 and the current consolidation of Order V-239 begins on the same day; the Control Law edition read includes the changes effective 1 November 2025 and the Criminal Code edition read was effective 3 July 2026.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Lithuania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence, so neither is available for lorazepam. The ceiling is 15 years under Criminal Code article 260(3), which applies where the amount is very large. The scale is set by which amount band the quantity falls in. Article 259 covers possession without intent to distribute and its subsection (2) is the small-quantity misdemeanour. Article 260(1) punishes distribution-purpose conduct by 2 to 8 years. Article 260(2) applies to a large amount and carries 8 to 10 years. Article 260(3) applies to a very large amount and carries 10 to 15 years. Order V-239 prints three figures for this entry at table item 364: a small amount of not more than 0,01 g, a large amount of more than 0,12 g, and a very large amount of more than 0,6 g. Those three columns are what select the offence.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for lorazepam depends on which of the four schedules of Order No. 5 carries the entry, and this row does not state the schedule number because the source records the list entry and the amount table rather than the schedule division. Schedule IV matters more than an English reader expects: it carries amyl nitrite, nitrous oxide, gamma-butyrolactone and the other alkyl nitrites, and it ends at item 402. Handling outside an authorisation is what the Criminal Code punishes, so a licensed medical or scientific use runs inside the Control Law rather than around it. Treat the detail of the route for lorazepam as unread and put the question to the State Medicines Control Agency of Lithuania.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for lorazepam, and get the State Medicines Control Agency of Lithuania to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for lorazepam appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. Provenance follows. The instruments were read on the Register of Legal Acts and the Seimas legal acts portal, both official, on 18 September 2026: Health Minister Order No. 5, Health Minister Order V-239, the Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law and the Criminal Code. The basis recorded for this row is a named list entry.

MDPV

Legal status: MDPV is controlled in Lithuania. Order No. 5 does not name MDPV on its own. It is reached through the printed group entry «Pirovalerono ir jo bioizosterinių darinių grupė*», so the result is a fit to that group rather than an entry in its own name. The chain has four links and each one matters. The Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law, at article 4, delegates classification to the Ministry of Health.

Memantine

Legal status: Memantine is not listed in the Lithuanian narcotic and psychotropic lists. Health Minister Order No. 5 is the list that Criminal Code article 269(1) adopts as the Code's drug definition, and no entry for memantine was found in it. The source records the Lithuanian language search run for this row and the terms used: memantinas; memantine. Both Order No. 5 and Order V-239 were searched, and all four schedules of the order were covered. The search was run in Lithuanian rather than in English, which matters because the order is printed in Lithuanian and an English search returns a false absence. The chain has four links and each one matters. The Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law, at article 4, delegates classification to the Ministry of Health. Health Minister Order No. 5 of 6 January 2000 is the resulting list and carries Schedules I to IV. Criminal Code article 269(1) makes those ministerial lists the Criminal Code's own drug definition. Criminal Code article 269(2) then sends the quantity question to ministerial recommendations, and Health Minister Order V-239 of 23 April 2003 supplies the figures. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The current consolidation of Order No. 5 begins on 18 June 2025 and the current consolidation of Order V-239 begins on the same day; the Control Law edition read includes the changes effective 1 November 2025 and the Criminal Code edition read was effective 3 July 2026. An absence is a statement about a list at a moment, and this one is stated as at that consolidation and no later.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Lithuania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence, and in any event none of the drug penalties reach memantine, because articles 259 and 260 attach to the substances in Order No. 5 and memantine is not one of them. The 15 year ceiling under Criminal Code article 260(3) is therefore not assigned on this record, and Order V-239 prints no small, large or very large amount for memantine. If a controlled constituent is proved in a given material, that constituent's own table row governs and this row does not.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled substance prescription question for memantine in Lithuania, because Order No. 5 does not carry it and the Control Law's licensing machinery follows that order. Whether memantine is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Lithuanian medicines regime, which this row did not audit. The State Medicines Control Agency of Lithuania is the body that answers it. Treat the supply route for memantine as unread rather than as open.
Documentation: Carry memantine as the Lithuanian medicines regime allows and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance that is off the controlled lists is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for memantine and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for memantine appears in what was read here. Provenance follows. Order No. 5 and Order V-239 were searched in Lithuanian on the official Register of Legal Acts on 18 September 2026 and no entry was found. The final rows of the quantity annex were read: Schedule IV ends at item 402, isopropyl nitrite, after the nitrous oxide, gamma-butyrolactone and other alkyl nitrite entries, so the search reached the end of the instrument rather than stopping at the older Schedule III drug list.

Mephedrone (4-MMC)

Legal status: Mephedrone is controlled in Lithuania. Order No. 5 names mephedrone. The entry relied on reads «Mefedronas (Mephedrone, 4-methylmethcathinone, 1-(4-Methylphenyl)-2-methylamino-propan-1-one)», and the source states that its spelling and chemistry were checked against the order rather than matched on an English name alone. The chain has four links and each one matters. The Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law, at article 4, delegates classification to the Ministry of Health. Health Minister Order No. 5 of 6 January 2000 is the resulting list and carries Schedules I to IV. Criminal Code article 269(1) makes those ministerial lists the Criminal Code's own drug definition. Criminal Code article 269(2) then sends the quantity question to ministerial recommendations, and Health Minister Order V-239 of 23 April 2003 supplies the figures. The list and the amount table are two different instruments, and a substance can be controlled by Order No. 5 while its cells in Order V-239 are blank. That is the single thing English accounts of Lithuanian law most often get wrong, and it is why control and quantity are stated separately on this row. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The current consolidation of Order No. 5 begins on 18 June 2025 and the current consolidation of Order V-239 begins on the same day; the Control Law edition read includes the changes effective 1 November 2025 and the Criminal Code edition read was effective 3 July 2026.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Lithuania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence, so neither is available for mephedrone. The ceiling is 15 years under Criminal Code article 260(3), which applies where the amount is very large. The scale is set by which amount band the quantity falls in. Article 259 covers possession without intent to distribute and its subsection (2) is the small-quantity misdemeanour. Article 260(1) punishes distribution-purpose conduct by 2 to 8 years. Article 260(2) applies to a large amount and carries 8 to 10 years. Article 260(3) applies to a very large amount and carries 10 to 15 years. Order V-239 prints three figures for this entry at table item 132: a small amount of not more than 0,25 g, a large amount of more than 25 g, and a very large amount of more than 125 g. Those three columns are what select the offence.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for mephedrone depends on which of the four schedules of Order No. 5 carries the entry, and this row does not state the schedule number because the source records the list entry and the amount table rather than the schedule division. Schedule IV matters more than an English reader expects: it carries amyl nitrite, nitrous oxide, gamma-butyrolactone and the other alkyl nitrites, and it ends at item 402. Handling outside an authorisation is what the Criminal Code punishes, so a licensed medical or scientific use runs inside the Control Law rather than around it. Treat the detail of the route for mephedrone as unread and put the question to the State Medicines Control Agency of Lithuania.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for mephedrone, and get the State Medicines Control Agency of Lithuania to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for mephedrone appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. Provenance follows. The instruments were read on the Register of Legal Acts and the Seimas legal acts portal, both official, on 18 September 2026: Health Minister Order No. 5, Health Minister Order V-239, the Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law and the Criminal Code. The basis recorded for this row is a named list entry.

Methylphenidate

Legal status: Methylphenidate is controlled in Lithuania. Order No. 5 names methylphenidate.

Those three columns are what select the offence.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for methylphenidate depends on which of the four schedules of Order No. 5 carries the entry, and this row does not state the schedule number because the source records the list entry and the amount table rather than the schedule division. Schedule IV matters more than an English reader expects: it carries amyl nitrite, nitrous oxide, gamma-butyrolactone and the other alkyl nitrites, and it ends at item 402. Handling outside an authorisation is what the Criminal Code punishes, so a licensed medical or scientific use runs inside the Control Law rather than around it. Treat the detail of the route for methylphenidate as unread and put the question to the State Medicines Control Agency of Lithuania.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for methylphenidate, and get the State Medicines Control Agency of Lithuania to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border.

Mitragynine

Legal status: Mitragynine is controlled in Lithuania. Order No. 5 names mitragynine. The entry relied on reads «Mitragininas (Mitragynine)», and the source states that its spelling and chemistry were checked against the order rather than matched on an English name alone. The chain has four links and each one matters. The Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law, at article 4, delegates classification to the Ministry of Health. Health Minister Order No. 5 of 6 January 2000 is the resulting list and carries Schedules I to IV. Criminal Code article 269(1) makes those ministerial lists the Criminal Code's own drug definition. Criminal Code article 269(2) then sends the quantity question to ministerial recommendations, and Health Minister Order V-239 of 23 April 2003 supplies the figures. The list and the amount table are two different instruments, and a substance can be controlled by Order No. 5 while its cells in Order V-239 are blank. That is the single thing English accounts of Lithuanian law most often get wrong, and it is why control and quantity are stated separately on this row. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The current consolidation of Order No. 5 begins on 18 June 2025 and the current consolidation of Order V-239 begins on the same day; the Control Law edition read includes the changes effective 1 November 2025 and the Criminal Code edition read was effective 3 July 2026.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Lithuania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence, so neither is available for mitragynine. The ceiling is 15 years under Criminal Code article 260(3), which applies where the amount is very large. The scale is set by which amount band the quantity falls in. Article 259 covers possession without intent to distribute and its subsection (2) is the small-quantity misdemeanour. Article 260(1) punishes distribution-purpose conduct by 2 to 8 years. Article 260(2) applies to a large amount and carries 8 to 10 years. Article 260(3) applies to a very large amount and carries 10 to 15 years. Order V-239 prints three figures for this entry at table item 252: a small amount of not more than 0,03 g, a large amount of more than 3 g, and a very large amount of more than 15 g. Those three columns are what select the offence.

Modafinil

Legal status: Modafinil is controlled in Lithuania. Order No. 5 names modafinil. The entry relied on reads «Modafinilis (Modafinil, 2-[(diphenylmethyl)sulfinyl]acetamide)», and the source states that its spelling and chemistry were checked against the order rather than matched on an English name alone.

Morphine

Legal status: Morphine is controlled in Lithuania. Order No. 5 names morphine. The entry relied on reads «Morfinas (Morphine)», and the source states that its spelling and chemistry were checked against the order rather than matched on an English name alone. The chain has four links and each one matters. The Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law, at article 4, delegates classification to the Ministry of Health.

Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Lithuania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence, so neither is available for morphine. The ceiling is 15 years under Criminal Code article 260(3), which applies where the amount is very large. The scale is set by which amount band the quantity falls in. Article 259 covers possession without intent to distribute and its subsection (2) is the small-quantity misdemeanour. Article 260(1) punishes distribution-purpose conduct by 2 to 8 years.

MXE

Legal status: MXE is controlled in Lithuania. Order No. 5 does not name MXE on its own. It is reached through the printed group entry «Fenciklidino darinių ir fenciklidino bioizosterinių darinių grupė», so the result is a fit to that group rather than an entry in its own name. The chain has four links and each one matters. The Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law, at article 4, delegates classification to the Ministry of Health. Health Minister Order No. 5 of 6 January 2000 is the resulting list and carries Schedules I to IV. Criminal Code article 269(1) makes those ministerial lists the Criminal Code's own drug definition. Criminal Code article 269(2) then sends the quantity question to ministerial recommendations, and Health Minister Order V-239 of 23 April 2003 supplies the figures.

Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Lithuania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence, so neither is available for MXE. The ceiling is 15 years under Criminal Code article 260(3), which applies where the amount is very large. The scale is set by which amount band the quantity falls in. Article 259 covers possession without intent to distribute and its subsection (2) is the small-quantity misdemeanour. Article 260(1) punishes distribution-purpose conduct by 2 to 8 years. Article 260(2) applies to a large amount and carries 8 to 10 years. Article 260(3) applies to a very large amount and carries 10 to 15 years. Order V-239 prints three figures for this entry: a small amount of not more than 0,001 g, a large amount of more than 0,01 g, and a very large amount of more than 0,05 g. Those three columns are what select the offence.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for MXE depends on which of the four schedules of Order No. 5 carries the entry, and this row does not state the schedule number because the source records the list entry and the amount table rather than the schedule division.

Nicotine

Legal status: Nicotine is not listed in the Lithuanian narcotic and psychotropic lists. Health Minister Order No. 5 is the list that Criminal Code article 269(1) adopts as the Code's drug definition, and no entry for nicotine was found in it. The source records the Lithuanian language search run for this row and the terms used: nikotinas; nicotine. Both Order No. 5 and Order V-239 were searched, and all four schedules of the order were covered. The search was run in Lithuanian rather than in English, which matters because the order is printed in Lithuanian and an English search returns a false absence. The chain has four links and each one matters. The Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law, at article 4, delegates classification to the Ministry of Health. Health Minister Order No. 5 of 6 January 2000 is the resulting list and carries Schedules I to IV. Criminal Code article 269(1) makes those ministerial lists the Criminal Code's own drug definition. Criminal Code article 269(2) then sends the quantity question to ministerial recommendations, and Health Minister Order V-239 of 23 April 2003 supplies the figures. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The current consolidation of Order No. 5 begins on 18 June 2025 and the current consolidation of Order V-239 begins on the same day; the Control Law edition read includes the changes effective 1 November 2025 and the Criminal Code edition read was effective 3 July 2026. An absence is a statement about a list at a moment, and this one is stated as at that consolidation and no later.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Lithuania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence, and in any event none of the drug penalties reach nicotine, because articles 259 and 260 attach to the substances in Order No. 5 and nicotine is not one of them. The 15 year ceiling under Criminal Code article 260(3) is therefore not assigned on this record, and Order V-239 prints no small, large or very large amount for nicotine. If a controlled constituent is proved in a given material, that constituent's own table row governs and this row does not.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled substance prescription question for nicotine in Lithuania, because Order No. 5 does not carry it and the Control Law's licensing machinery follows that order. Whether nicotine is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Lithuanian medicines regime, which this row did not audit. The State Medicines Control Agency of Lithuania is the body that answers it. Treat the supply route for nicotine as unread rather than as open.
Documentation: Carry nicotine as the Lithuanian medicines regime allows and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance that is off the controlled lists is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for nicotine and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for nicotine appears in what was read here. Provenance follows. Order No. 5 and Order V-239 were searched in Lithuanian on the official Register of Legal Acts on 18 September 2026 and no entry was found. The final rows of the quantity annex were read: Schedule IV ends at item 402, isopropyl nitrite, after the nitrous oxide, gamma-butyrolactone and other alkyl nitrite entries, so the search reached the end of the instrument rather than stopping at the older Schedule III drug list.

Nimetazepam

Legal status: Nimetazepam is controlled in Lithuania. Order No. 5 names nimetazepam. The entry relied on reads «Nimetazepamas (Nimetazepam)*», and the source states that its spelling and chemistry were checked against the order rather than matched on an English name alone. The chain has four links and each one matters. The Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law, at article 4, delegates classification to the Ministry of Health. Health Minister Order No. 5 of 6 January 2000 is the resulting list and carries Schedules I to IV. Criminal Code article 269(1) makes those ministerial lists the Criminal Code's own drug definition. Criminal Code article 269(2) then sends the quantity question to ministerial recommendations, and Health Minister Order V-239 of 23 April 2003 supplies the figures. The list and the amount table are two different instruments, and a substance can be controlled by Order No. 5 while its cells in Order V-239 are blank. That is the single thing English accounts of Lithuanian law most often get wrong, and it is why control and quantity are stated separately on this row. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The current consolidation of Order No. 5 begins on 18 June 2025 and the current consolidation of Order V-239 begins on the same day; the Control Law edition read includes the changes effective 1 November 2025 and the Criminal Code edition read was effective 3 July 2026.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Lithuania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence, so neither is available for nimetazepam. The ceiling is 15 years under Criminal Code article 260(3), which applies where the amount is very large. The scale is set by which amount band the quantity falls in. Article 259 covers possession without intent to distribute and its subsection (2) is the small-quantity misdemeanour. Article 260(1) punishes distribution-purpose conduct by 2 to 8 years. Article 260(2) applies to a large amount and carries 8 to 10 years. Article 260(3) applies to a very large amount and carries 10 to 15 years. Order V-239 prints no single set of figures for this row at table item 376, so the small, large and very large bands have to be taken from the identified member or constituent rather than from a line of its own.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for nimetazepam depends on which of the four schedules of Order No. 5 carries the entry, and this row does not state the schedule number because the source records the list entry and the amount table rather than the schedule division. Schedule IV matters more than an English reader expects: it carries amyl nitrite, nitrous oxide, gamma-butyrolactone and the other alkyl nitrites, and it ends at item 402. Handling outside an authorisation is what the Criminal Code punishes, so a licensed medical or scientific use runs inside the Control Law rather than around it. Treat the detail of the route for nimetazepam as unread and put the question to the State Medicines Control Agency of Lithuania.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for nimetazepam, and get the State Medicines Control Agency of Lithuania to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for nimetazepam appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. Provenance follows. The instruments were read on the Register of Legal Acts and the Seimas legal acts portal, both official, on 18 September 2026: Health Minister Order No. 5, Health Minister Order V-239, the Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law and the Criminal Code. The basis recorded for this row is a named list entry.

Nitrous Oxide

Legal status: Nitrous oxide is controlled in Lithuania. Order No. 5 names nitrous oxide. The entry relied on reads «Diazoto monoksidas (Diazoto oksidas, Nitrous oxide) (išskyrus, kai jis tiekiamas rinkai, naudojamas ir (ar) vartojamas kaip maisto priedas 2008 m. gruodžio 16 d.

The chain has four links and each one matters. The Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law, at article 4, delegates classification to the Ministry of Health. Health Minister Order No. 5 of 6 January 2000 is the resulting list and carries Schedules I to IV. Criminal Code article 269(1) makes those ministerial lists the Criminal Code's own drug definition. Criminal Code article 269(2) then sends the quantity question to ministerial recommendations, and Health Minister Order V-239 of 23 April 2003 supplies the figures. The list and the amount table are two different instruments, and a substance can be controlled by Order No. 5 while its cells in Order V-239 are blank. That is the single thing English accounts of Lithuanian law most often get wrong, and it is why control and quantity are stated separately on this row.

Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Lithuania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence, so neither is available for nitrous oxide. The ceiling is 15 years under Criminal Code article 260(3), which applies where the amount is very large. The scale is set by which amount band the quantity falls in. Article 259 covers possession without intent to distribute and its subsection (2) is the small-quantity misdemeanour. Article 260(1) punishes distribution-purpose conduct by 2 to 8 years. Article 260(2) applies to a large amount and carries 8 to 10 years. Article 260(3) applies to a very large amount and carries 10 to 15 years. Order V-239 prints three figures for this entry at table item 399: a small amount of not more than 40 g, a large amount of more than 240 g, and a very large amount of more than 720 g. Those three columns are what select the offence.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for nitrous oxide depends on which of the four schedules of Order No. 5 carries the entry, and this row does not state the schedule number because the source records the list entry and the amount table rather than the schedule division. Schedule IV matters more than an English reader expects: it carries amyl nitrite, nitrous oxide, gamma-butyrolactone and the other alkyl nitrites, and it ends at item 402. Handling outside an authorisation is what the Criminal Code punishes, so a licensed medical or scientific use runs inside the Control Law rather than around it. Treat the detail of the route for nitrous oxide as unread and put the question to the State Medicines Control Agency of Lithuania.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for nitrous oxide, and get the State Medicines Control Agency of Lithuania to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for nitrous oxide appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. Provenance follows. The instruments were read on the Register of Legal Acts and the Seimas legal acts portal, both official, on 18 September 2026: Health Minister Order No. 5, Health Minister Order V-239, the Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law and the Criminal Code.

Opium

Legal status: Opium is controlled in Lithuania. Order No. 5 names opium. The entry relied on reads «Opijus (sutirštintos aguonų sultys, gautos bet kokiu būdu)», and the source states that its spelling and chemistry were checked against the order rather than matched on an English name alone. The chain has four links and each one matters. The Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law, at article 4, delegates classification to the Ministry of Health. Health Minister Order No. 5 of 6 January 2000 is the resulting list and carries Schedules I to IV. Criminal Code article 269(1) makes those ministerial lists the Criminal Code's own drug definition. Criminal Code article 269(2) then sends the quantity question to ministerial recommendations, and Health Minister Order V-239 of 23 April 2003 supplies the figures. The list and the amount table are two different instruments, and a substance can be controlled by Order No. 5 while its cells in Order V-239 are blank. That is the single thing English accounts of Lithuanian law most often get wrong, and it is why control and quantity are stated separately on this row. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The current consolidation of Order No. 5 begins on 18 June 2025 and the current consolidation of Order V-239 begins on the same day; the Control Law edition read includes the changes effective 1 November 2025 and the Criminal Code edition read was effective 3 July 2026.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Lithuania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence, so neither is available for opium. The ceiling is 15 years under Criminal Code article 260(3), which applies where the amount is very large. The scale is set by which amount band the quantity falls in. Article 259 covers possession without intent to distribute and its subsection (2) is the small-quantity misdemeanour. Article 260(1) punishes distribution-purpose conduct by 2 to 8 years. Article 260(2) applies to a large amount and carries 8 to 10 years. Article 260(3) applies to a very large amount and carries 10 to 15 years. Order V-239 prints three figures for this entry at table item 9: a small amount of not more than 1 g, a large amount of more than 100 g, and a very large amount of more than 500 g. Those three columns are what select the offence.

Oxycodone

PCP

Legal status: PCP is controlled in Lithuania. Order No. 5 names PCP. The entry relied on reads «Fenciklidinas (Phencyclidine, PCP)», and the source states that its spelling and chemistry were checked against the order rather than matched on an English name alone. The chain has four links and each one matters. The Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law, at article 4, delegates classification to the Ministry of Health.

Peyote

Legal status: Peyote is controlled in Lithuania. Order No. 5 does not name peyote as such. The entry relied on reads «Meskalinas (Mescaline)», which is a constituent, so the result turns on proving that constituent in the material rather than on the label.

Those three columns are what select the offence.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for peyote depends on which of the four schedules of Order No. 5 carries the entry, and this row does not state the schedule number because the source records the list entry and the amount table rather than the schedule division.

Phenibut

Legal status: Phenibut is controlled in Lithuania. Order No. 5 names phenibut.

Pink Cocaine / Tusi

Legal status: Pink cocaine is not listed in the Lithuanian narcotic and psychotropic lists. Health Minister Order No. 5 is the list that Criminal Code article 269(1) adopts as the Code's drug definition, and no entry for pink cocaine was found in it. The source records that pink cocaine is a street label with variable composition, so no single list identity and no single quantity can be assigned to the label itself. The search was run in Lithuanian rather than in English, which matters because the order is printed in Lithuanian and an English search returns a false absence. The chain has four links and each one matters. The Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law, at article 4, delegates classification to the Ministry of Health. Health Minister Order No. 5 of 6 January 2000 is the resulting list and carries Schedules I to IV. Criminal Code article 269(1) makes those ministerial lists the Criminal Code's own drug definition. Criminal Code article 269(2) then sends the quantity question to ministerial recommendations, and Health Minister Order V-239 of 23 April 2003 supplies the figures. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The current consolidation of Order No. 5 begins on 18 June 2025 and the current consolidation of Order V-239 begins on the same day; the Control Law edition read includes the changes effective 1 November 2025 and the Criminal Code edition read was effective 3 July 2026. An absence is a statement about a list at a moment, and this one is stated as at that consolidation and no later.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Lithuania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence, and in any event none of the drug penalties reach pink cocaine, because articles 259 and 260 attach to the substances in Order No. 5 and pink cocaine is not one of them. The 15 year ceiling under Criminal Code article 260(3) is therefore not assigned on this record, and Order V-239 prints no small, large or very large amount for pink cocaine. If a controlled constituent is proved in a given material, that constituent's own table row governs and this row does not.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled substance prescription question for pink cocaine in Lithuania, because Order No. 5 does not carry it and the Control Law's licensing machinery follows that order. Whether pink cocaine is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Lithuanian medicines regime, which this row did not audit. The State Medicines Control Agency of Lithuania is the body that answers it. Treat the supply route for pink cocaine as unread rather than as open.
Documentation: Carry pink cocaine as the Lithuanian medicines regime allows and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance that is off the controlled lists is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for pink cocaine and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for pink cocaine appears in what was read here. Provenance follows. Order No. 5 and Order V-239 were searched in Lithuanian on the official Register of Legal Acts on 18 September 2026 and no entry was found. The final rows of the quantity annex were read: Schedule IV ends at item 402, isopropyl nitrite, after the nitrous oxide, gamma-butyrolactone and other alkyl nitrite entries, so the search reached the end of the instrument rather than stopping at the older Schedule III drug list.

Poppers

Legal status: Poppers is controlled in Lithuania. Order No. 5 names poppers. The entry relied on reads «Amilnitritas (Amyl nitrite)», and the source states that its spelling and chemistry were checked against the order rather than matched on an English name alone. The chain has four links and each one matters. The Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law, at article 4, delegates classification to the Ministry of Health. Health Minister Order No. 5 of 6 January 2000 is the resulting list and carries Schedules I to IV. Criminal Code article 269(1) makes those ministerial lists the Criminal Code's own drug definition. Criminal Code article 269(2) then sends the quantity question to ministerial recommendations, and Health Minister Order V-239 of 23 April 2003 supplies the figures. The list and the amount table are two different instruments, and a substance can be controlled by Order No. 5 while its cells in Order V-239 are blank. That is the single thing English accounts of Lithuanian law most often get wrong, and it is why control and quantity are stated separately on this row. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The current consolidation of Order No. 5 begins on 18 June 2025 and the current consolidation of Order V-239 begins on the same day; the Control Law edition read includes the changes effective 1 November 2025 and the Criminal Code edition read was effective 3 July 2026.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Lithuania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence, so neither is available for poppers. The ceiling is 15 years under Criminal Code article 260(3), which applies where the amount is very large. The scale is set by which amount band the quantity falls in. Article 259 covers possession without intent to distribute and its subsection (2) is the small-quantity misdemeanour. Article 260(1) punishes distribution-purpose conduct by 2 to 8 years. Article 260(2) applies to a large amount and carries 8 to 10 years. Article 260(3) applies to a very large amount and carries 10 to 15 years. Order V-239 prints no single set of figures for this row, so the small, large and very large bands have to be taken from the identified member or constituent rather than from a line of its own.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for poppers depends on which of the four schedules of Order No. 5 carries the entry, and this row does not state the schedule number because the source records the list entry and the amount table rather than the schedule division. Schedule IV matters more than an English reader expects: it carries amyl nitrite, nitrous oxide, gamma-butyrolactone and the other alkyl nitrites, and it ends at item 402. Handling outside an authorisation is what the Criminal Code punishes, so a licensed medical or scientific use runs inside the Control Law rather than around it. Treat the detail of the route for poppers as unread and put the question to the State Medicines Control Agency of Lithuania.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for poppers, and get the State Medicines Control Agency of Lithuania to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for poppers appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. Provenance follows. The instruments were read on the Register of Legal Acts and the Seimas legal acts portal, both official, on 18 September 2026: Health Minister Order No. 5, Health Minister Order V-239, the Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law and the Criminal Code. The basis recorded for this row is a named list entry.

Pregabalin

Legal status: Pregabalin is not listed in the Lithuanian narcotic and psychotropic lists. Health Minister Order No. 5 is the list that Criminal Code article 269(1) adopts as the Code's drug definition, and no entry for pregabalin was found in it. The source records the Lithuanian language search run for this row and the terms used: pregabalinas; pregabalin. Both Order No. 5 and Order V-239 were searched, and all four schedules of the order were covered. The search was run in Lithuanian rather than in English, which matters because the order is printed in Lithuanian and an English search returns a false absence. The chain has four links and each one matters. The Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law, at article 4, delegates classification to the Ministry of Health. Health Minister Order No. 5 of 6 January 2000 is the resulting list and carries Schedules I to IV. Criminal Code article 269(1) makes those ministerial lists the Criminal Code's own drug definition. Criminal Code article 269(2) then sends the quantity question to ministerial recommendations, and Health Minister Order V-239 of 23 April 2003 supplies the figures. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The current consolidation of Order No. 5 begins on 18 June 2025 and the current consolidation of Order V-239 begins on the same day; the Control Law edition read includes the changes effective 1 November 2025 and the Criminal Code edition read was effective 3 July 2026. An absence is a statement about a list at a moment, and this one is stated as at that consolidation and no later.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Lithuania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence, and in any event none of the drug penalties reach pregabalin, because articles 259 and 260 attach to the substances in Order No. 5 and pregabalin is not one of them. The 15 year ceiling under Criminal Code article 260(3) is therefore not assigned on this record, and Order V-239 prints no small, large or very large amount for pregabalin. If a controlled constituent is proved in a given material, that constituent's own table row governs and this row does not.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled substance prescription question for pregabalin in Lithuania, because Order No. 5 does not carry it and the Control Law's licensing machinery follows that order. Whether pregabalin is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Lithuanian medicines regime, which this row did not audit. The State Medicines Control Agency of Lithuania is the body that answers it. Treat the supply route for pregabalin as unread rather than as open.
Documentation: Carry pregabalin as the Lithuanian medicines regime allows and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance that is off the controlled lists is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for pregabalin and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for pregabalin appears in what was read here. Provenance follows. Order No. 5 and Order V-239 were searched in Lithuanian on the official Register of Legal Acts on 18 September 2026 and no entry was found. The final rows of the quantity annex were read: Schedule IV ends at item 402, isopropyl nitrite, after the nitrous oxide, gamma-butyrolactone and other alkyl nitrite entries, so the search reached the end of the instrument rather than stopping at the older Schedule III drug list.

Psilocybin

Legal status: Psilocybin is controlled in Lithuania. Order No. 5 names psilocybin. The entry relied on reads «Psilocibinas (Psilocybine)», and the source states that its spelling and chemistry were checked against the order rather than matched on an English name alone. The chain has four links and each one matters. The Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law, at article 4, delegates classification to the Ministry of Health. Health Minister Order No. 5 of 6 January 2000 is the resulting list and carries Schedules I to IV. Criminal Code article 269(1) makes those ministerial lists the Criminal Code's own drug definition. Criminal Code article 269(2) then sends the quantity question to ministerial recommendations, and Health Minister Order V-239 of 23 April 2003 supplies the figures. The list and the amount table are two different instruments, and a substance can be controlled by Order No. 5 while its cells in Order V-239 are blank. That is the single thing English accounts of Lithuanian law most often get wrong, and it is why control and quantity are stated separately on this row. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The current consolidation of Order No. 5 begins on 18 June 2025 and the current consolidation of Order V-239 begins on the same day; the Control Law edition read includes the changes effective 1 November 2025 and the Criminal Code edition read was effective 3 July 2026.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Lithuania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence, so neither is available for psilocybin. The ceiling is 15 years under Criminal Code article 260(3), which applies where the amount is very large. The scale is set by which amount band the quantity falls in. Article 259 covers possession without intent to distribute and its subsection (2) is the small-quantity misdemeanour. Article 260(1) punishes distribution-purpose conduct by 2 to 8 years. Article 260(2) applies to a large amount and carries 8 to 10 years. Article 260(3) applies to a very large amount and carries 10 to 15 years. Order V-239 prints three figures for this entry at table item 154: a small amount of not more than 0,05 g, a large amount of more than 0,5 g, and a very large amount of more than 2,5 g. Those three columns are what select the offence.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for psilocybin depends on which of the four schedules of Order No. 5 carries the entry, and this row does not state the schedule number because the source records the list entry and the amount table rather than the schedule division. Schedule IV matters more than an English reader expects: it carries amyl nitrite, nitrous oxide, gamma-butyrolactone and the other alkyl nitrites, and it ends at item 402. Handling outside an authorisation is what the Criminal Code punishes, so a licensed medical or scientific use runs inside the Control Law rather than around it.

Quetiapine

Legal status: Quetiapine is not listed in the Lithuanian narcotic and psychotropic lists. Health Minister Order No. 5 is the list that Criminal Code article 269(1) adopts as the Code's drug definition, and no entry for quetiapine was found in it. The source records the Lithuanian language search run for this row and the terms used: kvetiapinas; quetiapine. Both Order No. 5 and Order V-239 were searched, and all four schedules of the order were covered. The search was run in Lithuanian rather than in English, which matters because the order is printed in Lithuanian and an English search returns a false absence. The chain has four links and each one matters. The Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law, at article 4, delegates classification to the Ministry of Health. Health Minister Order No. 5 of 6 January 2000 is the resulting list and carries Schedules I to IV. Criminal Code article 269(1) makes those ministerial lists the Criminal Code's own drug definition.

An absence is a statement about a list at a moment, and this one is stated as at that consolidation and no later.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Lithuania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence, and in any event none of the drug penalties reach quetiapine, because articles 259 and 260 attach to the substances in Order No. 5 and quetiapine is not one of them. The 15 year ceiling under Criminal Code article 260(3) is therefore not assigned on this record, and Order V-239 prints no small, large or very large amount for quetiapine.

Salvia divinorum

Legal status: Salvia divinorum is controlled in Lithuania. Order No. 5 names Salvia divinorum. The entry relied on reads «Kvaitulinis šalavijas ir jo dalys (Salvia divinorum plant)****», and the source states that its spelling and chemistry were checked against the order rather than matched on an English name alone.

Synthetic Cannabinoids (K2 / Spice)

Legal status: Synthetic cannabinoids is controlled in Lithuania. Order No. 5 does not name synthetic cannabinoids on its own. It is reached through the printed group entry «Sintetinių kanabinoidų darinių grupė: 1 pogrupis. Indol-, indazol- arba karbazol-3-ilmetanonai ir azaindol-, indol-, indazol-, karbazol- arba 5-halogenfenilpirazol-3-karboksamidai bei 3-karboksilatai», so the result is a fit to that group rather than an entry in its own name. The chain has four links and each one matters. The Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law, at article 4, delegates classification to the Ministry of Health. Health Minister Order No. 5 of 6 January 2000 is the resulting list and carries Schedules I to IV. Criminal Code article 269(1) makes those ministerial lists the Criminal Code's own drug definition. Criminal Code article 269(2) then sends the quantity question to ministerial recommendations, and Health Minister Order V-239 of 23 April 2003 supplies the figures. The list and the amount table are two different instruments, and a substance can be controlled by Order No. 5 while its cells in Order V-239 are blank.

Those three columns are what select the offence.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for synthetic cannabinoids depends on which of the four schedules of Order No. 5 carries the entry, and this row does not state the schedule number because the source records the list entry and the amount table rather than the schedule division. Schedule IV matters more than an English reader expects: it carries amyl nitrite, nitrous oxide, gamma-butyrolactone and the other alkyl nitrites, and it ends at item 402.

Order V-239 prints three figures for this entry at table item 170: a small amount of not more than 0,02 g, a large amount of more than 0,14 g, and a very large amount of more than 0,6 g. Those three columns are what select the offence.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for THC-P depends on which of the four schedules of Order No. 5 carries the entry, and this row does not state the schedule number because the source records the list entry and the amount table rather than the schedule division. Schedule IV matters more than an English reader expects: it carries amyl nitrite, nitrous oxide, gamma-butyrolactone and the other alkyl nitrites, and it ends at item 402. Handling outside an authorisation is what the Criminal Code punishes, so a licensed medical or scientific use runs inside the Control Law rather than around it. Treat the detail of the route for THC-P as unread and put the question to the State Medicines Control Agency of Lithuania.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for THC-P, and get the State Medicines Control Agency of Lithuania to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for THC-P appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. Provenance follows. The instruments were read on the Register of Legal Acts and the Seimas legal acts portal, both official, on 18 September 2026: Health Minister Order No. 5, Health Minister Order V-239, the Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law and the Criminal Code. The basis recorded for this row is a named list entry.

Tobacco

Legal status: Tobacco is not listed in the Lithuanian narcotic and psychotropic lists. Health Minister Order No. 5 is the list that Criminal Code article 269(1) adopts as the Code's drug definition, and no entry for tobacco was found in it. The source records the Lithuanian language search run for this row and the terms used: tabakas; tobacco; Nicotiana. Both Order No. 5 and Order V-239 were searched, and all four schedules of the order were covered. The search was run in Lithuanian rather than in English, which matters because the order is printed in Lithuanian and an English search returns a false absence. The chain has four links and each one matters. The Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law, at article 4, delegates classification to the Ministry of Health. Health Minister Order No. 5 of 6 January 2000 is the resulting list and carries Schedules I to IV. Criminal Code article 269(1) makes those ministerial lists the Criminal Code's own drug definition. Criminal Code article 269(2) then sends the quantity question to ministerial recommendations, and Health Minister Order V-239 of 23 April 2003 supplies the figures. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The current consolidation of Order No. 5 begins on 18 June 2025 and the current consolidation of Order V-239 begins on the same day; the Control Law edition read includes the changes effective 1 November 2025 and the Criminal Code edition read was effective 3 July 2026. An absence is a statement about a list at a moment, and this one is stated as at that consolidation and no later.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Lithuania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence, and in any event none of the drug penalties reach tobacco, because articles 259 and 260 attach to the substances in Order No. 5 and tobacco is not one of them. The 15 year ceiling under Criminal Code article 260(3) is therefore not assigned on this record, and Order V-239 prints no small, large or very large amount for tobacco. If a controlled constituent is proved in a given material, that constituent's own table row governs and this row does not.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled substance prescription question for tobacco in Lithuania, because Order No. 5 does not carry it and the Control Law's licensing machinery follows that order. Whether tobacco is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Lithuanian medicines regime, which this row did not audit. The State Medicines Control Agency of Lithuania is the body that answers it. Treat the supply route for tobacco as unread rather than as open.
Documentation: Carry tobacco as the Lithuanian medicines regime allows and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance that is off the controlled lists is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for tobacco and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for tobacco appears in what was read here. Provenance follows. Order No. 5 and Order V-239 were searched in Lithuanian on the official Register of Legal Acts on 18 September 2026 and no entry was found. The final rows of the quantity annex were read: Schedule IV ends at item 402, isopropyl nitrite, after the nitrous oxide, gamma-butyrolactone and other alkyl nitrite entries, so the search reached the end of the instrument rather than stopping at the older Schedule III drug list.

Tramadol

Legal status: Tramadol is controlled in Lithuania. Order No. 5 names tramadol. The entry relied on reads «Tramadolis (Tramadol)», and the source states that its spelling and chemistry were checked against the order rather than matched on an English name alone. The chain has four links and each one matters. The Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law, at article 4, delegates classification to the Ministry of Health. Health Minister Order No. 5 of 6 January 2000 is the resulting list and carries Schedules I to IV. Criminal Code article 269(1) makes those ministerial lists the Criminal Code's own drug definition. Criminal Code article 269(2) then sends the quantity question to ministerial recommendations, and Health Minister Order V-239 of 23 April 2003 supplies the figures. The list and the amount table are two different instruments, and a substance can be controlled by Order No. 5 while its cells in Order V-239 are blank. That is the single thing English accounts of Lithuanian law most often get wrong, and it is why control and quantity are stated separately on this row. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The current consolidation of Order No. 5 begins on 18 June 2025 and the current consolidation of Order V-239 begins on the same day; the Control Law edition read includes the changes effective 1 November 2025 and the Criminal Code edition read was effective 3 July 2026.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Lithuania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence, so neither is available for tramadol. The ceiling is 15 years under Criminal Code article 260(3), which applies where the amount is very large. The scale is set by which amount band the quantity falls in. Article 259 covers possession without intent to distribute and its subsection (2) is the small-quantity misdemeanour. Article 260(1) punishes distribution-purpose conduct by 2 to 8 years. Article 260(2) applies to a large amount and carries 8 to 10 years. Article 260(3) applies to a very large amount and carries 10 to 15 years. Order V-239 prints three figures for this entry at table item 310: a small amount of not more than 0,4g, a large amount of more than 6,0 g, and a very large amount of more than 30 g. Those three columns are what select the offence.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for tramadol depends on which of the four schedules of Order No. 5 carries the entry, and this row does not state the schedule number because the source records the list entry and the amount table rather than the schedule division. Schedule IV matters more than an English reader expects: it carries amyl nitrite, nitrous oxide, gamma-butyrolactone and the other alkyl nitrites, and it ends at item 402. Handling outside an authorisation is what the Criminal Code punishes, so a licensed medical or scientific use runs inside the Control Law rather than around it. Treat the detail of the route for tramadol as unread and put the question to the State Medicines Control Agency of Lithuania.

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

Xanax (Alprazolam)

Legal status: Alprazolam is controlled in Lithuania. Order No. 5 names alprazolam. The entry relied on reads «Alprazolamas (Alprazolam)», and the source states that its spelling and chemistry were checked against the order rather than matched on an English name alone.

Xylazine

Legal status: Xylazine is not listed in the Lithuanian narcotic and psychotropic lists. Health Minister Order No. 5 is the list that Criminal Code article 269(1) adopts as the Code's drug definition, and no entry for xylazine was found in it. The source records the Lithuanian language search run for this row and the terms used: ksilazinas; xylazine. Both Order No. 5 and Order V-239 were searched, and all four schedules of the order were covered.
