Confirmed legal status

Cannabis / THC

Legal status: Possession criminal for everyone (Penal Code §231); drug-dependent not punished via 2022 court practice (depenalization, NOT decriminalization); recreational users still fined (~15 g guidance, record); 2021 broad decrim REJECTED; medical limited
Consequences if caught: Under the Penal Code (2005) §231 and the Medicines Act §31, possession and use of drugs are a CRIMINAL offence for everyone. After the April 2022 Supreme Court rulings (HR-2022-731/732/733-A) and the Attorney General's guidelines (18 May 2022), persons with a SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER (drug-dependent) are no longer punished for personal use or possession of small amounts — but this is court-practice DEPENALIZATION for that group ONLY, NOT decriminalization. RECREATIONAL (non-dependent) users are STILL punished: a small amount draws a fine (the serious kind, which appears on the criminal record), though young first-timers are often diverted to supervised drug testing. The 2021 broad-decriminalization reform ('From Punishment to Help') was REJECTED by Parliament in June 2021. The personal-use guidance amount for cannabis is about 15 g. Medical cannabis is limited and requires special approval. Supply and trafficking are serious offences (up to 10 years, more when aggravated).
If prescribed / medical: Medical cannabis is limited and requires special approval.
Documentation: Possession and use are criminal for everyone (Penal Code §231 + Medicines Act §31). Since the April 2022 Supreme Court rulings and Attorney General guidelines, drug-dependent persons are not punished for personal use/possession of small amounts (depenalization for that group only, NOT decriminalization); recreational (non-dependent) users are still fined (a record-bearing fine), and the 2021 broad-decriminalization reform ('From Punishment to Help') was rejected by Parliament in June 2021. Personal-use guidance amounts are about 15 g cannabis and about 5 g for heroin, amphetamine and cocaine. Medical cannabis is limited and requires special approval. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

Gabapentin

Legal status: Not confirmed — status not individually verified; confirm with Norway's authorities (Penal Code §231) / your embassy
Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Norwegian sources (Penal Code §231; HR-2022-731/732/733-A) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. Under the Penal Code (2005) §231 and the Medicines Act §31, possession and use of drugs are a CRIMINAL offence for everyone. After the April 2022 Supreme Court rulings (HR-2022-731/732/733-A) and the Attorney General's guidelines (18 May 2022), persons with a SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER (drug-dependent) are no longer punished for personal use or possession of small amounts — but this is court-practice DEPENALIZATION for that group ONLY, NOT decriminalization. RECREATIONAL (non-dependent) users are STILL punished: a small amount draws a fine (the serious kind, which appears on the criminal record), though young first-timers are often diverted to supervised drug testing. The 2021 broad-decriminalization reform ('From Punishment to Help') was REJECTED by Parliament in June 2021. Supply and trafficking are serious offences (up to 10 years, more when aggravated).

Personal-use guidance amounts are about 15 g cannabis and about 5 g for heroin, amphetamine and cocaine. Medical cannabis is limited and requires special approval.

Tobacco

Legal status: Not confirmed — status not individually verified; confirm with Norway's authorities (Penal Code §231) / your embassy
Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Norwegian sources (Penal Code §231; HR-2022-731/732/733-A) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. Under the Penal Code (2005) §231 and the Medicines Act §31, possession and use of drugs are a CRIMINAL offence for everyone. After the April 2022 Supreme Court rulings (HR-2022-731/732/733-A) and the Attorney General's guidelines (18 May 2022), persons with a SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER (drug-dependent) are no longer punished for personal use or possession of small amounts — but this is court-practice DEPENALIZATION for that group ONLY, NOT decriminalization. RECREATIONAL (non-dependent) users are STILL punished: a small amount draws a fine (the serious kind, which appears on the criminal record), though young first-timers are often diverted to supervised drug testing. The 2021 broad-decriminalization reform ('From Punishment to Help') was REJECTED by Parliament in June 2021. Supply and trafficking are serious offences (up to 10 years, more when aggravated).
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).
Documentation: Possession and use are criminal for everyone (Penal Code §231 + Medicines Act §31). Since the April 2022 Supreme Court rulings and Attorney General guidelines, drug-dependent persons are not punished for personal use/possession of small amounts (depenalization for that group only, NOT decriminalization); recreational (non-dependent) users are still fined (a record-bearing fine), and the 2021 broad-decriminalization reform ('From Punishment to Help') was rejected by Parliament in June 2021. Personal-use guidance amounts are about 15 g cannabis and about 5 g for heroin, amphetamine and cocaine. Medical cannabis is limited and requires special approval.
