Is PCP legal in Ukraine?

Confirmed against a primary sourceVerified September 21, 2026
Legal status
Controlled in Ukraine under its full chemical name rather than the three letter abbreviation. Постанова № 770, таблиці I to IV, consolidated text read on 20 September 2026, prints «Фенциклідин» at CAS 77-10-1 and record UKR-73 accepts that row; the heading is in sentence case here because the list prints in capitals. The heading names the parent arylcyclohexylamine. This source records no analogue limb and no entries for the several analogues of this compound that circulate, and the two arylcyclohexylamine rows it left unresolved, records UKR-02 and UKR-67, were deferred against a different heading entirely, so nothing is asserted here about any analogue of this molecule.
Consequences if caught
Capital exposure: none. Ukraine provides no death penalty. The trade article the source names is Кримінальний кодекс України, стаття 307, twelve years of imprisonment at the ceiling of its third part, no life sentence in the article. Because the heading at CAS 77-10-1 is matched, наказ МОЗ № 188 supplies the small, large and especially large bands for this molecule. Material is commonly encountered as a liquid applied to plant matter rather than as a powder, so the band would be applied to an assayed content rather than to the weight of the carrier, and this source states neither the figures nor the method. No separate possession article is named. Separately from that, and carried forward from this site's published Ukraine entry rather than re-derived from the Code in this pass, the published penalties are these. Personal use of a small amount is administrative under article 44 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, a fine of 25 to 50 tax free minimum incomes, 20 to 60 hours of community service, or administrative arrest of up to 15 days. Above small, personal use under article 309 is criminal, a fine, correctional labour of up to two years, or restriction of liberty of up to five years, rising to up to three years where aggravated or large and up to eight years where a minor is involved. Trafficking or sale under article 307 draws four to twelve years with property forfeiture. Smuggling under article 305 draws five to eight years, and up to eight to ten years aggravated. The published entry records the small, large and especially large quantity thresholds as very low, and that trace amounts have triggered article 309. Drug use itself, other than in public, is not criminal there. Every figure in this paragraph is a penalty range or a fine and none of them is a quantity threshold. They describe the offences that this row's placement in the Ukrainian list brings into play.
If prescribed or medical
Ukraine allows no personal use quantity, наказ МОЗ № 188 grades criminal conduct rather than licensing carriage, and a scheduled medicine must additionally satisfy Закон України «Про лікарські засоби» on prescription, packaging, import and customs. On this row the placement is a matched heading at CAS 77-10-1. The compound was withdrawn from human and veterinary medicine decades ago, so there is no prescription route anywhere and none should be described. The source establishes no import permit, no personal allowance and no recognition of a foreign prescription, and none was researched.
Documentation
Carry nothing in reliance on this row, since no lawful carriage arises from it. Where a laboratory holds reference material, the institutional licence and the inventory record are the relevant documents rather than anything personal. A traveller carrying a prescribed medicine that has been confused with treated plant material should carry the original dispensing pack, the pharmacy label in the patient's name, the prescription and a prescriber's letter naming the ingredient, strength, dose and treatment period. The heading at CAS 77-10-1 was read on 20 September 2026.
