Nimetazepam in Morocco: not individually verified

Also known as: erimin, happy five

We have not confirmed that Nimetazepam specifically is scheduled in Morocco, so this page gives no legal status. Publishing a guess here would be worse than publishing nothing. What we do know is the governing national drug law, below.

What is on record

Not confirmed. This substance is in no entry of tableaux A, B or C annexed to the dahir of 2 December 1922 as annexed in 1922, read complete in the ONSSA consolidated text on 22 September 2026, and in no entry of tableaux I to IV of the 1971 Convention as printed at Bulletin officiel 3590 on 19 August 1981, thirty two entries read complete from the page image. That pair of absences does not make it lawful. Article 1 of the 1922 dahir provides that substances are inscribed in tableaux A, B and C by arrêté. Those arrêtés were read on 3 October 2026: tableau B, « Produits stupéfiants », as abrogated and replaced by arrêté n° 1850-96 of 3 September 1996, Bulletin officiel 4422, pages 713 to 716, read in full from the page image, and tableaux A and C as published by arrêté n° 171-66 of 11 March 1966, Bulletin officiel 2817 of 26 October 1966. Nimetazepam is in no entry of that tableau B, which names no benzodiazepine at all. Tableau A of 1966 prints, on page 1181, « Nitro-7 phényl-5 (3 H) benzodiazépine-1,4 (1 H) one-2 et ses sels », which is nitrazepam; nimetazepam is its 1-methyl derivative, and that entry names only the substance and its salts, so it does not reach nimetazepam. Arrêtés amending tableau B after 1996, or tableaux A and C after 1966, were searched for and not found, but the gazette was not swept issue by issue, so the list in force today was not established. Nimetazepam is a nitrobenzodiazepine marketed in Japan from 1977. No benzodiazepine is printed in the 1922 annex or in the 1981 Convention print, because the Convention scheduled benzodiazepines in 1984 and that annex was printed in 1981. The 1966 tableau A does print three by name, diazepam on page 1179, oxazepam and nitrazepam on page 1181, and the 1966 tableau C prints chlordiazepoxide on page 1185; none of those entries names nimetazepam, and none is a class clause.

Confirm directly with Morocco’s national drug authority or your own embassy before you rely on anything.
