Is Mephedrone (4-MMC) legal in Georgia?

Legal status

Mephedrone is a controlled substance in Georgia. The dossier places it on the annexes to Law No. 624, matched to the entry «მეფედრონი (4-MMC)», with CAS 1189805-46-6 as the identifier the dossier attaches to that match. The entry gives the Georgian name with the ring position code in brackets, and the dossier separately records the positional isomer of this compound as absent, so one digit separates a listed entry from an absence record. 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 «მეფედრონი (4-MMC)» is an accepted entry, the circulation offence reaches conduct in this substance through that entry. The offence reaches this isomer through its own entry, and the dossier does not read the entry as covering the isomer it separately records as unlisted. 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: «მეფედრონი (4-MMC)» is an accepted entry on the annexes to Law No. 624 rather than under the medicines law. There is no medicinal preparation of it.

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 «მეფედრონი (4-MMC)», with CAS 1189805-46-6. The ring position has to be on the analytical report, because this dossier puts the two positional isomers in different rows. The record and its outcome were read on 20 September 2026 and this cell is dated 21 September 2026.

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