Is LSA (Morning Glory) legal in Germany?

Legal status

Ergine is not scheduled in Germany on this reading, and the rejection that produces that answer is a name-proximity one. The search ran on 20 September 2026 under „Ergin; Ergine; LSA; Lysergsäureamid“ across BtMG Anlagen I bis III and NpSG Anlagen 1 und 2 and returned no entry. The near line the dossier considered and rejected is „Lysergid | N,N-Diethyl-D-lysergamid (LSD,LSD-25)“, which names the diethylamide and not the simple amide: the two share a lysergamide core and differ by the two ethyl groups on the amide nitrogen, and the dossier is explicit that proximity of name is not agreement with a printed structure. The second route was left open in the same disciplined way: a positive result under the ergolene structure group would require a demonstrated fit to its printed substituent limits rather than a family resemblance.

Consequences if caught

Capital exposure: none. Germany has no death penalty. No narcotics maximum applies, because the dossier's finding is a confirmed absence from the lists and a penalty cannot be attached to an entry that is not there. The discipline this row demands is about the second statute: no group membership has been demonstrated, so neither the prohibition nor the offence in the new psychoactive substances Act has been shown to bite, and the penalty attached to that Act must not be imported on the strength of a structural resemblance to the scheduled diethylamide. Any exposure that arises comes from the product regime rather than from the drug schedules.

If prescribed or medical

There is no schedule placement, so no narcotics traveller rule attaches. Seed and plant preparations containing the alkaloid are product questions rather than narcotics questions on this reading, and the medicines regime is the route the dossier leaves available for a preparation presented as a medicine. No German prescription rule or traveller rule is recorded here, so the cell defers on both.

Documentation

For seeds or a preparation the relevant record is what the product is sold as and what it contains, because the live question is a product classification rather than a listing. No narcotics certificate arises. The search was run on 20 September 2026.

Drug laws and enforcement change and vary within a country. This is not legal advice. Always confirm with Germany’s embassy or official drug authority before traveling; penalties can be severe, including imprisonment.
