LSA (Morning Glory) in Timor-Leste: not individually verified

Also known as: hawaiian baby woodrose

We have not confirmed that LSA (Morning Glory) specifically is scheduled in Timor-Leste, 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. Lei n.º 2/2017 carries no closing statement that would let an absence read as a settled negative, so the finding below is reported as unconfirmed rather than closed. LSA, lysergic acid amide (ergine), is not named by that name anywhere in Lei n.º 2/2017's tables, and it is not the same molecule as any entry that is named. Table V, item 1, names "Ácido lisérgico" (lysergic acid itself), listed as a precursor under article 2, paragraph 1, subparagraph e ("Precursor", substances frequently used in the illicit manufacture of narcotics and psychotropic substances, covered by Tables V and VI), not as a "droga" under subparagraph d, which covers only Tables I to IV. Lysergic acid is a carboxylic acid, used chemically to synthesise LSD; LSA is lysergic acid's amide, replacing the acid's -COOH group with -CONH2, a different, naturally occurring tryptamine-type alkaloid found in morning glory and Hawaiian baby woodrose seeds, itself mildly psychoactive. LSA is neither lysergic acid itself, an isomer of it, nor a salt of it; an amide is a distinct functional-group transformation from a salt. LSD, named at Table II-A item 21, is also a different molecule from LSA, being lysergic acid's diethylamide rather than its simple amide, and Table II-A's isomer clause in any case requires identical molecular formula, which LSA does not share with LSD. So LSA has no textual route into Tables I to IV as a drug, and no textual route into Table V as a precursor either, since Table V names lysergic acid specifically, not its amide. This reading is as printed 25 January 2017, read on 7 October 2026; no later amending law has been found (see the search recorded below).

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