LSA (Morning Glory) in Samoa: not individually verified

Also known as: hawaiian baby woodrose

We have not confirmed that LSA (Morning Glory) specifically is scheduled in Samoa, so this page gives no legal status. Publishing a guess here would be worse than publishing nothing. What we do know is the governing national drug law, below.

What is on record

Not confirmed. LSA (lysergic acid amide, ergine) is not named by that name in the Narcotics Act 1967 (official version as at 31 December 2023). First Schedule items 15 and 16 both name "LYSERGIC ACID (essential precursor for manufacture of LSD)" as a Class A narcotic; LSA is the simplest amide of lysergic acid and is not an isomer of it (lysergic acid is C16H16N2O2; LSA is C16H17N3O), and First Schedule clause C reaches only esters and ethers, not amides, so items 15 and 16 do not plainly extend to LSA on that wording. Separately, lysergic acid is also named as a controlled precursor at Fourth Schedule item 11. Fourth Schedule clause B extends coverage to any preparation, admixture, extract or other substance containing any proportion of a precursor specified in the Third Schedule controlled precursors, including all salts, isomers, esters, ethers, ketals, acetals, acetates, hydroxides, oximes, amides, imines, acid chlorides, nitriles, anhydrides, halogen substituents, epoxides, diols and any other analogues or derivatives of a precursor specified in the Third Schedule controlled precursors, and that clause's own wording lists amides among the forms it reaches. But clause B, printed inside the Fourth Schedule, twice names the Third Schedule, which lists Class C narcotics and contains no precursor at all; lysergic acid sits in the Fourth Schedule, not the Third. This drafting does not identify which schedule clause B actually extends, and it is not silently corrected here. Whether clause B reaches lysergic acid's own Fourth Schedule listing despite naming the wrong Schedule is not settled by the text, so LSA's status as a controlled precursor derivative is not confirmed.

Confirm directly with Samoa’s national drug authority or your own embassy before you rely on anything.
