Is Mescaline legal in Belarus?

Legal status

Mescaline is controlled in Belarus. The annexes to Постановление Министерства здравоохранения № 19 от 11 февраля 2015 г. республиканский перечень print the entry «МЕСКАЛИН» in Cyrillic script, and registry number 54-04-6 is what fixes which molecule that entry catches. The entry is printed in Cyrillic under its own name, and the cactus that carries it is not printed anywhere in the annexes, which is what the peyote row records from the other side. The terms taken to the annexes were "mescaline", "MESCALINE", and the row accepted was the printed entry itself rather than the paragraph that establishes the list, because the schedule owns the substance entries and the offence article does not. The version read was № 19/2015 with the official 2025 and 10 March 2026 amendments, record BEL-58.

Consequences if caught

Capital exposure: none. Belarus retains capital punishment as a country, and that is exactly why this line has to be read carefully rather than skimmed: no drug offence in Criminal Code articles 327 to 328 with a superscript one carries it. The entry relied on for mescaline is «Мескалин». The ceiling for a drug offence is 25 years. Criminal Code article 328(5) provides a term of twelve to twenty-five years. That is the top of the drug scale and it is not death. A source that reports three quantity bands for Belarus has read another country's structure into it. Resolution No. 606 gives one. The quantity instrument prints this row as «instrument gives no significant band»; «large size: over 5.0 g»; «instrument gives no separate especially-large band». Resolution No. 606 gives a large-size figure and nothing else. Where this row says the instrument gives no significant band or no especially large band, that is the instrument's own silence and not a gap in the reading.

If prescribed or medical

The traveller rule is stated at country level and it is the same for every substance in this set: Belarus provides no lawful personal use allowance and no traveller exemption, and a scheduled medicine has to satisfy Закон Республики Беларусь «О лекарственных средствах» as well as the narcotics annexes, meaning prescription, original packaging, and import and customs formalities. This row's placement is the printed entry «МЕСКАЛИН» in the республиканский перечень, record BEL-58, so any medicinal route runs through that placement. A criminal quantity band is not a lawful traveller allowance. The source states no medical route specific to mescaline and none is supplied here. The placement is the alkaloid's entry, and the cactus has none on this record, so plant material has nothing of its own to attach to.

Documentation

Carry it only with the Belarusian prescription and dispensing paperwork the medicines law requires, in the original dispensing packaging, with the substance named on any declaration the way the annex names it, «МЕСКАЛИН», and with registry number 54-04-6 available if the name is queried. The placement at BEL-58 was read against № 19/2015 with the official 2025 and 10 March 2026 amendments on 20 September 2026. A later amendment can change an entry, so recheck the annexes before travel rather than relying on the date on this cell. Name the alkaloid. If what you hold is cactus material, say so, because the annex prints no plant row for it.

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