Is MDA legal in Norway?

Legal status

Controlled — MDA is a scheduled psychotropic substance in Norway under Straffeloven (Penal Code 2005) sections 231 and 232; legemiddelloven sections 24 and 31. Norway is a party to the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances, in which MDA is a Schedule I substance, and the national schedules give effect to that listing.

Consequences if caught

Straffeloven section 231: unlawful manufacture, import, export, acquisition, storage, dispatch or transfer of a substance classified as narcotic under legemiddelloven section 22 is punishable by a fine or up to 2 years; negligent commission up to 1 year. Section 232 (aggravated): up to 10 years; where very substantial quantities are involved, 3 to 15 years, and in particularly grave circumstances up to 21 years. Use and possession for personal use fall under legemiddelloven sections 24 and 31: a fine or up to 6 months. NOTE: Lov 2025-06-20-83, which would move smaller personal-use quantities to the legemiddelloven regime, states that it enters into force on a date the King determines and is NOT yet in force.

If prescribed or medical

MDA has no recognised medical use and no lawful prescription route. Narcotic medicines are dispensed under legemiddelloven; a prohibited street drug has no prescribable form in Norway.

Documentation

No prescription documentation exists for this substance. Carry prescribed medicines in original packaging with the prescription; a Schengen art. 75 certificate is required for controlled medicines.

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