Is Mephedrone (4-MMC) legal in Myanmar?
- Legal status
- Controlled — TREATY-floor. Mephedrone is controlled via national incorporation of the 1971 Schedule II addition (2015) into the psychotropics annex of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Law; no standalone named Myanmar amendment is confirmable. Capital reach is left to confirmation — drug-specific capital thresholds are opaque under current governance.
- Consequences if caught
- Controlled psychotropic: penalties apply; capital exposure for mephedrone is unconfirmable. High risk.
- If prescribed or medical
- Controlled psychotropic with no recognised medical use and no lawful prescription route.
- Documentation
- No licit personal-import route for a controlled psychotropic.
Drug laws and enforcement change and vary within a country. This is not legal advice. Always confirm with Myanmar’s embassy or official drug authority before traveling; penalties can be severe, including imprisonment.
