Opium in Afghanistan: not individually verified
We have not confirmed that Opium specifically is scheduled in Afghanistan, 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 — the Law on Campaign Against Intoxicants, Drugs and their Control (with the 2005 Counter-Narcotics Law) is the governing drug law; the specific scheduling/penalty for Opium in Afghanistan is not confirmed here. Verify against the current schedule.
Confirm directly with Afghanistan’s national drug authority or your own embassy before you rely on anything.
This page is deliberately excluded from search indexing and from our sitemap. Only confirmed, individually verified statuses are published as indexable pages.
