Is LSD legal in Georgia?
- Legal status
- LSD is a controlled substance in Georgia. The dossier places it on the annexes to Law No. 624, matched to the entry «ლიზერგიდი (LSD)», with CAS 50-37-3 as the identifier the dossier attaches to that match. The entry uses the international name lysergide with the familiar Latin code in brackets, and two related lysergamides among these substances are recorded against it as absent, so this entry is precise rather than generic. The dossier cites the annexed set as Lists I to IV taken together and never records which of the four lists a row sits on, so the placement is established at the level of the annexes and not of a numbered list. The final consolidated text was read on the Legislative Herald of Georgia, which the dossier calls Matsne, on 20 September 2026. The dossier's outcome for this row is verified.
- Consequences if caught
- Capital exposure: none. Georgia has abolished the death penalty and the dossier records no capital route for any substance on these lists. The ceiling is life imprisonment, under Article 260 of the Criminal Code of Georgia for aggravated illegal circulation, and life is where the scale stops. Because «ლიზერგიდი (LSD)» is an accepted entry, the circulation offence reaches conduct in this substance through that entry. The offence reaches the diethylamide through this entry, and the dossier records two neighbouring lysergamides as having no entry, so exposure does not extend from this row to them. The official quantity table assigns a small, a large and an especially large quantity by substance, and the dossier records that the table is applied through the matched entry without reproducing any of its figures, so no weight is stated in this cell and none should be inferred from one. There is no general lawful personal use allowance, and the absence of a small quantity figure for a substance is not permission to hold it.
- If prescribed or medical
- The prescription position is deferred here rather than stated. No Georgian rule on a traveller carrying a prescribed supply has been established for this substance, so whether a foreign prescription is recognised has to be settled with the Georgian authorities before travel. What this row does attach to that deferral is the placement: «ლიზერგიდი (LSD)» is an accepted entry on the annexes to Law No. 624 rather than under the medicines law. No medicinal preparation is recorded in the dossier.
- Documentation
- The dossier records no documentary requirement for Georgia and carries no column for one, so nothing is prescribed in this cell. What the row does fix is the identity that everything else turns on: the entry «ლიზერგიდი (LSD)», with CAS 50-37-3. Blotter is identified by analysis rather than by appearance, and two of the compounds most often sold on it resolve to absence records in this same dossier. The record and its outcome were read on 20 September 2026 and this cell is dated 21 September 2026.
- Georgia, Law No. 624 and its annexed Lists I to IV, with Article 260 of the Criminal Code of Georgia carrying the penalty ceiling
- this row rests on the entry «ლიზერგიდი (LSD)» at record GEO-52, identified by CAS 50-37-3. Read in the final consolidated text on the Legislative Herald of Georgia, which the dossier calls Matsne, on 20 September 2026. The set that produced this record used two genuinely different names for the substance rather than one name in two cases. No per row link exists in the dossier this cell is built from, which carries no web address for this substance or for any other, so the instrument is cited in prose and no address is given
- none has been taken from the previous version of this cell or from anywhere else. The dossier's outcome for this row is verified.
