Is Pink Cocaine / Tusi legal in Montenegro?
- Legal status
- Not applicable as a single status. Montenegro's own reason on this row is that the label was stopped as a variable street mixture rather than treated as an unsearched molecule: the Pravilnik o utvrđivanju spiska droga, psihotropnih supstanci i bilja koje se može koristiti za proizvodnju droga, 56/2012 as amended by 54/2015, was opened for «ružičasti kokain; tusi; 2C-B» as a label resolution check and the label was not accepted as one molecule level entry. The dossier records one further step on this row: cocaine and 2C-B constituent rows checked separately. Both constituents the label was resolved through have printed entries of their own in this schedule, at two different locators, so the label collapses into two answered rows and not into one. The list is not the criminal code's to move. Član 4 of the Zakon o sprječavanju zloupotrebe droga gives it to the state administration body responsible for health and requires publication in the official gazette: «Spisak droga donosi organ državne uprave nadležan za poslove zdravlja... Spisak droga se objavljuje u Službenom listu Crne Gore.» The version read is the Prilog as those tables stand after the 54/2015 amendment, read on 20 September 2026, and because Član 4 leaves the list with the health administration this does not rule out a later amendment.
- Consequences if caught
- Capital exposure: none. Montenegro's criminal code carries no death penalty and the dossier records none. The ceiling it records is fifteen years under Article 300 of the Krivični zakonik, the aggravated drug offence, read with the Code's imprisonment rules, and that is the only criminal article this reading names. That ceiling reaches a proved constituent and not the label, because Article 300 depends on a placement and a label with no fixed composition has none of its own. What is in the packet decides the exposure, and the label does not disclose it. No numerical lawful personal use threshold was found in the controlling Act or in the list, so there is no stated weight below which the question changes, and a reduced offence or an exclusion from one trafficking paragraph is not described here as a general lawful possession safe harbour. Separately from that, and carried forward from this site's published Montenegro entry rather than re-derived from the Code in this pass: production, distribution or trafficking are reported at roughly two to fifteen years, the source given there being the United States State Department narcotics report, which also records that the individual paragraph ranges of Article 300(1) to (5) are not pinned in the sources it cites. The Article 300(6) offence of unlawfully making, acquiring, possessing, transporting or supplying equipment, material or substances knowing they are intended for narcotics production is reported at six months to five years. An addiction driven offender may receive mandatory treatment as a security measure to a maximum of three years, alongside or in place of imprisonment, and possession is reported as handled inside Article 300 with treatment diversion available. A foreigner faces expulsion for one to ten years or permanently. Every figure in this paragraph is a penalty band and none of them is a quantity threshold, which is the separate point made above. These bands describe the Article 300 drug offence, and whether it reaches this row at all is exactly what was not established, so they are recorded as Montenegro's published drug penalties and not as this row's exposure. What this row rests on is the label resolution check that stopped it as a variable street mixture.
- If prescribed or medical
- Montenegro's traveller rule in this reading is a country level one and not a substance level one: scheduled medicines and other prescription products remain subject to the Zakon o ljekovima and to prescription, packaging, import and customs requirements, and a brand or street label is resolved through proved active ingredients. There is no single placement to attach on this row, because the label was resolved as a variable street mixture and each detected constituent has to be classified on its own printed entry or its own absence. The dossier carries no prescription column at all, which was confirmed by tools/check-dossier.py, so no per substance medical route was established here: no import permit route, no personal quantity ceiling and no certificate requirement was read for this row, and none has been invented for it. The reading behind this row is the label resolution check that stopped it as a variable street mixture.
- Documentation
- Carry nothing on the strength of this label and expect any analysis to name constituents rather than the label: the terms opened here were «ružičasti kokain; tusi; 2C-B» and the list was read on 20 September 2026. The consolidated control Act was read at https://www.gov.me/en/documents/afd3651b-7fdd-43b9-b324-6e1e1a1a36cb and the Ministry schedule at https://www.gov.me/dokumenta/5aa4ae6f-0e4b-4f30-8c5e-75f9e413b019 on 20 September 2026. No express open reuse licence was located on either page, so only the wording needed for verification is reproduced, with attribution and a direct link. The record this advice rests on is the label resolution check that stopped it as a variable street mixture.

- Član 4 of the Zakon o sprječavanju zloupotrebe droga is the empowering provision and Article 300 of the Krivični zakonik carries the fifteen year drug offence ceiling that a proved constituent would meet.

The Prilog was read as those tables stand after the 54/2015 amendment, and this does not rule out a later amendment made under Član 4
- the reading this row rests on is the label resolution check that stopped it as a variable street mixture
- the Article 300 penalty bands stated in consequences_street are carried forward from this site's published Montenegro entry, which cites the Criminal Code at Official Gazette 70/2003 consolidated through 110/2023, attributes the roughly two to fifteen year figure to the United States State Department narcotics report and records that the Article 300(1) to (5) paragraph ranges are not individually pinned there
- they were not re-derived from the Krivični zakonik in this pass
