Confirmed legal status

2-FDCK

Legal status: 2-FDCK is controlled in Romania. The entry relied on reads «2-(2-fluorophenyl)-2-methylamino-cyclohexanone (2-fluorodeschloroketamine)», located at Legea 143/2000, Tabelul II; arts. 1(c), 2(2), 4(2). The Romanian schedule names 2-FDCK or its exact chemical identity as a high-risk drug in Tabelul II. Romania uses the simplest of the three models: the schedule sits inside the Act. Article 1(a) makes Tables I to IV integral to Legea 143/2000 and supplies the mechanism for adding, deleting or moving an entry. Tables I and II are droguri de mare risc, high-risk drugs; Table III is droguri de risc. A mixture is reached through a listed constituent. Legea 194/2011 is a separate products regime and does not turn an unlisted name into a scheduled drug. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidated text identifies Legea 30/2025 as the latest schedule amendment included, effective 29 March 2025, and states that it contains all officially published amendments through that Act.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Romania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. In Romania 2-FDCK sits in Tabelul II of Legea 143/2000, and which table it sits in is what selects the article below. The scale runs by table and by conduct. Article 4(1) sets 3 months to 2 years or a fine for unauthorised own-use acts involving a Table III risk drug, and article 4(2) sets 6 months to 3 years where the drug is high-risk. Article 2 sets 3 to 10 years for risk-drug circulation and 5 to 15 years for high-risk. Article 3(2) sets 10 to 20 years for unauthorised import or export of a high-risk drug. Article 9 raises the special limits by one third where the act finances drug consumption, and article 13(2) permits up to 5 further years in the specified education-related circumstance. The overall custody ceiling is 30 years, which comes from Cod penal article 60 as the general maximum rather than from any single drug article. Romania prints no statutory gram threshold and no per-substance personal-use quantity anywhere in Legea 143/2000. The table a substance sits in, not its weight, is what selects the article.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for 2-FDCK and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the control status: 2-FDCK is on the Romania controlled list, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Romania medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit, and the Romanian National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices is the body that states them. Do not read this row as a statement that 2-FDCK cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for 2-FDCK, and get the Romanian National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for 2-FDCK appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. Provenance follows. The controlling text was read on Portal Legislativ, the official legislation portal of the Ministry of Justice, and the ANMDMR consolidated text on 18 September 2026, at Legea 143/2000, Tabelul II; arts. 1(c), 2(2), 4(2).

The consolidated text identifies Legea 30/2025 as the latest schedule amendment included, effective 29 March 2025, and states that it contains all officially published amendments through that Act.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Romania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. In Romania Adderall sits in Tabelul II of Legea 143/2000, and which table it sits in is what selects the article below. The scale runs by table and by conduct. Article 4(1) sets 3 months to 2 years or a fine for unauthorised own-use acts involving a Table III risk drug, and article 4(2) sets 6 months to 3 years where the drug is high-risk. Article 2 sets 3 to 10 years for risk-drug circulation and 5 to 15 years for high-risk. Article 3(2) sets 10 to 20 years for unauthorised import or export of a high-risk drug. Article 9 raises the special limits by one third where the act finances drug consumption, and article 13(2) permits up to 5 further years in the specified education-related circumstance. The overall custody ceiling is 30 years, which comes from Cod penal article 60 as the general maximum rather than from any single drug article. Romania prints no statutory gram threshold and no per-substance personal-use quantity anywhere in Legea 143/2000. The table a substance sits in, not its weight, is what selects the article.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for Adderall and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the control status: Adderall is on the Romania controlled list, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Romania medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit, and the Romanian National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices is the body that states them. Do not read this row as a statement that Adderall cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for Adderall, and get the Romanian National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for Adderall appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. Provenance follows. The controlling text was read on Portal Legislativ, the official legislation portal of the Ministry of Justice, and the ANMDMR consolidated text on 18 September 2026, at Legea 143/2000, Tabelul II; art. 1 lit. b.

Alcohol

Legal status: Alcohol is not controlled in Romania, and that is a completed finding rather than an open question. The search recorded for this row is «Căutare exactă 18 Sep 2026: “alcool”; “etanol”; “Alcohol”, în Legea 143/2000, tabelele I-III şi clauzele privind sărurile şi produsele. Rezultat: nicio înscriere pentru Alcohol şi nicio trimitere nominală în Legea 194/2011.». Absence from Romania's named schedules is a completed negative result for this slug; it is not deferred as an unperformed search. Romania uses the simplest of the three models: the schedule sits inside the Act. Article 1(a) makes Tables I to IV integral to Legea 143/2000 and supplies the mechanism for adding, deleting or moving an entry. Tables I and II are droguri de mare risc, high-risk drugs; Table III is droguri de risc. A mixture is reached through a listed constituent. Legea 194/2011 is a separate products regime and does not turn an unlisted name into a scheduled drug. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidated text identifies Legea 30/2025 as the latest schedule amendment included, effective 29 March 2025, and states that it contains all officially published amendments through that Act. An absence is a statement about a list at a moment, and this one is stated as at that consolidation and no later.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Romania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. And none of the drug penalties reach alcohol, because they attach to the substances on the Romania list and alcohol is not one of them. The scale runs by table and by conduct. Article 4(1) sets 3 months to 2 years or a fine for unauthorised own-use acts involving a Table III risk drug, and article 4(2) sets 6 months to 3 years where the drug is high-risk. Article 2 sets 3 to 10 years for risk-drug circulation and 5 to 15 years for high-risk. Article 3(2) sets 10 to 20 years for unauthorised import or export of a high-risk drug. Article 9 raises the special limits by one third where the act finances drug consumption, and article 13(2) permits up to 5 further years in the specified education-related circumstance. Those provisions are stated here so the scale is visible, not because they apply to alcohol. If a listed constituent is proved in a given material, that constituent is assessed on its own and carries its own exposure.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled drug prescription question for alcohol in Romania, because the controlled list does not carry it. Whether alcohol is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Romania medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. the Romanian National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices is the body that answers it. Treat the supply route as unread rather than as open.
Documentation: Carry alcohol as the Romania medicines regime allows and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance that is off the controlled list is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for alcohol and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for alcohol appears in what was read here. Provenance follows. The instrument searched was Legea 143/2000, whose Tables I to IV article 1(a) makes integral to the Act itself, on Portal Legislativ, the official legislation portal of the Ministry of Justice, and the ANMDMR consolidated text on 18 September 2026 and no entry for alcohol was found.

Buprenorphine

Legal status: Buprenorphine is controlled in Romania. The entry relied on reads «Buprenorphine = 21-cyclopropyl-7-alpha-[(S)-1-hydroxy-1,2,2-trimethylpropyl]-6,14-endo-ethano-6,7,8,14-tetrahydrooripavine», located at Legea 143/2000, Tabelul III; arts. 1(d), 2(1), 4(1). The Romanian schedule names Buprenorphine or its exact chemical identity as a risk drug in Tabelul III. Romania uses the simplest of the three models: the schedule sits inside the Act. Article 1(a) makes Tables I to IV integral to Legea 143/2000 and supplies the mechanism for adding, deleting or moving an entry. Tables I and II are droguri de mare risc, high-risk drugs; Table III is droguri de risc. A mixture is reached through a listed constituent. Legea 194/2011 is a separate products regime and does not turn an unlisted name into a scheduled drug. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidated text identifies Legea 30/2025 as the latest schedule amendment included, effective 29 March 2025, and states that it contains all officially published amendments through that Act.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Romania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. In Romania buprenorphine sits in Tabelul III of Legea 143/2000, and which table it sits in is what selects the article below. The scale runs by table and by conduct. Article 4(1) sets 3 months to 2 years or a fine for unauthorised own-use acts involving a Table III risk drug, and article 4(2) sets 6 months to 3 years where the drug is high-risk. Article 2 sets 3 to 10 years for risk-drug circulation and 5 to 15 years for high-risk. Article 3(2) sets 10 to 20 years for unauthorised import or export of a high-risk drug. Article 9 raises the special limits by one third where the act finances drug consumption, and article 13(2) permits up to 5 further years in the specified education-related circumstance. The overall custody ceiling is 30 years, which comes from Cod penal article 60 as the general maximum rather than from any single drug article. Romania prints no statutory gram threshold and no per-substance personal-use quantity anywhere in Legea 143/2000. The table a substance sits in, not its weight, is what selects the article.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for buprenorphine and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the control status: buprenorphine is on the Romania controlled list, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Romania medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit, and the Romanian National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices is the body that states them. Do not read this row as a statement that buprenorphine cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for buprenorphine, and get the Romanian National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for buprenorphine appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. Provenance follows. The controlling text was read on Portal Legislativ, the official legislation portal of the Ministry of Justice, and the ANMDMR consolidated text on 18 September 2026, at Legea 143/2000, Tabelul III; arts. 1(d), 2(1), 4(1).

Caffeine

Legal status: Caffeine is not controlled in Romania, and that is a completed finding rather than an open question. The search recorded for this row is «Căutare exactă 18 Sep 2026: “cafeină”; “cofeină”; “Caffeine”, în Legea 143/2000, tabelele I-III şi clauzele privind sărurile şi produsele.

Absence from Romania's named schedules is a completed negative result for this slug; it is not deferred as an unperformed search. Romania uses the simplest of the three models: the schedule sits inside the Act. Article 1(a) makes Tables I to IV integral to Legea 143/2000 and supplies the mechanism for adding, deleting or moving an entry.

An absence is a statement about a list at a moment, and this one is stated as at that consolidation and no later.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Romania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. And none of the drug penalties reach caffeine, because they attach to the substances on the Romania list and caffeine is not one of them. The scale runs by table and by conduct. Article 4(1) sets 3 months to 2 years or a fine for unauthorised own-use acts involving a Table III risk drug, and article 4(2) sets 6 months to 3 years where the drug is high-risk. Article 2 sets 3 to 10 years for risk-drug circulation and 5 to 15 years for high-risk. Article 3(2) sets 10 to 20 years for unauthorised import or export of a high-risk drug. Article 9 raises the special limits by one third where the act finances drug consumption, and article 13(2) permits up to 5 further years in the specified education-related circumstance. Those provisions are stated here so the scale is visible, not because they apply to caffeine. If a listed constituent is proved in a given material, that constituent is assessed on its own and carries its own exposure.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled drug prescription question for caffeine in Romania, because the controlled list does not carry it. Whether caffeine is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Romania medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. the Romanian National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices is the body that answers it. Treat the supply route as unread rather than as open.
Documentation: Carry caffeine as the Romania medicines regime allows and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance that is off the controlled list is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for caffeine and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for caffeine appears in what was read here. Provenance follows. The instrument searched was Legea 143/2000, whose Tables I to IV article 1(a) makes integral to the Act itself, on Portal Legislativ, the official legislation portal of the Ministry of Justice, and the ANMDMR consolidated text on 18 September 2026 and no entry for caffeine was found.

Article 4(1) sets 3 months to 2 years or a fine for unauthorised own-use acts involving a Table III risk drug, and article 4(2) sets 6 months to 3 years where the drug is high-risk. Article 2 sets 3 to 10 years for risk-drug circulation and 5 to 15 years for high-risk. Article 3(2) sets 10 to 20 years for unauthorised import or export of a high-risk drug. Article 9 raises the special limits by one third where the act finances drug consumption, and article 13(2) permits up to 5 further years in the specified education-related circumstance. The overall custody ceiling is 30 years, which comes from Cod penal article 60 as the general maximum rather than from any single drug article. Romania prints no statutory gram threshold and no per-substance personal-use quantity anywhere in Legea 143/2000. The table a substance sits in, not its weight, is what selects the article.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for cocaine and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the control status: cocaine is on the Romania controlled list, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Romania medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit, and the Romanian National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices is the body that states them. Do not read this row as a statement that cocaine cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for cocaine, and get the Romanian National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for cocaine appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. Provenance follows.

Legal status: DOM is controlled in Romania. The entry relied on reads «STP, DOM = 2-amino-1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-methyl) phenylpropane», located at Legea 143/2000, Tabelul I; arts. 1(c), 2(2), 4(2).

DXM

Legal status: DXM is not controlled in Romania, and that is a completed finding rather than an open question. The search recorded for this row is «Căutare exactă 18 Sep 2026: “dextromethorphan”; “DXM”; “dextrometorfan”, în Legea 143/2000, tabelele I-III şi clauzele privind sărurile şi produsele. Rezultat: nicio înscriere pentru DXM şi nicio trimitere nominală în Legea 194/2011.». Absence from Romania's named schedules is a completed negative result for this slug; it is not deferred as an unperformed search. Romania uses the simplest of the three models: the schedule sits inside the Act. Article 1(a) makes Tables I to IV integral to Legea 143/2000 and supplies the mechanism for adding, deleting or moving an entry. Tables I and II are droguri de mare risc, high-risk drugs; Table III is droguri de risc. A mixture is reached through a listed constituent. Legea 194/2011 is a separate products regime and does not turn an unlisted name into a scheduled drug. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidated text identifies Legea 30/2025 as the latest schedule amendment included, effective 29 March 2025, and states that it contains all officially published amendments through that Act. An absence is a statement about a list at a moment, and this one is stated as at that consolidation and no later.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Romania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. And none of the drug penalties reach DXM, because they attach to the substances on the Romania list and DXM is not one of them. The scale runs by table and by conduct. Article 4(1) sets 3 months to 2 years or a fine for unauthorised own-use acts involving a Table III risk drug, and article 4(2) sets 6 months to 3 years where the drug is high-risk. Article 2 sets 3 to 10 years for risk-drug circulation and 5 to 15 years for high-risk. Article 3(2) sets 10 to 20 years for unauthorised import or export of a high-risk drug. Article 9 raises the special limits by one third where the act finances drug consumption, and article 13(2) permits up to 5 further years in the specified education-related circumstance. Those provisions are stated here so the scale is visible, not because they apply to DXM. If a listed constituent is proved in a given material, that constituent is assessed on its own and carries its own exposure.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled drug prescription question for DXM in Romania, because the controlled list does not carry it. Whether DXM is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Romania medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. the Romanian National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices is the body that answers it. Treat the supply route as unread rather than as open.
Documentation: Carry DXM as the Romania medicines regime allows and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance that is off the controlled list is not thereby free to cross a border.

Ephedrine

Legal status: Ephedrine is controlled in Romania. The entry relied on reads «Ephedrine», located at Legea 143/2000, Tabelul IV; art. 1 lit. a şi e. Ephedrine is a nationally controlled precursor in Table IV, not a drug in Tables I to III. Romania uses the simplest of the three models: the schedule sits inside the Act. Article 1(a) makes Tables I to IV integral to Legea 143/2000 and supplies the mechanism for adding, deleting or moving an entry. Tables I and II are droguri de mare risc, high-risk drugs; Table III is droguri de risc. A mixture is reached through a listed constituent. Legea 194/2011 is a separate products regime and does not turn an unlisted name into a scheduled drug. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidated text identifies Legea 30/2025 as the latest schedule amendment included, effective 29 March 2025, and states that it contains all officially published amendments through that Act.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Romania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. In Romania ephedrine sits in Tabelul IV of Legea 143/2000, and which table it sits in is what selects the article below. The scale runs by table and by conduct. Article 4(1) sets 3 months to 2 years or a fine for unauthorised own-use acts involving a Table III risk drug, and article 4(2) sets 6 months to 3 years where the drug is high-risk. Article 2 sets 3 to 10 years for risk-drug circulation and 5 to 15 years for high-risk. Article 3(2) sets 10 to 20 years for unauthorised import or export of a high-risk drug. Article 9 raises the special limits by one third where the act finances drug consumption, and article 13(2) permits up to 5 further years in the specified education-related circumstance. The overall custody ceiling is 30 years, which comes from Cod penal article 60 as the general maximum rather than from any single drug article. Romania prints no statutory gram threshold and no per-substance personal-use quantity anywhere in Legea 143/2000. The table a substance sits in, not its weight, is what selects the article.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for ephedrine and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the control status: ephedrine is on the Romania controlled list, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Romania medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit, and the Romanian National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices is the body that states them. Do not read this row as a statement that ephedrine cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for ephedrine, and get the Romanian National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for ephedrine appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. Provenance follows. The controlling text was read on Portal Legislativ, the official legislation portal of the Ministry of Justice, and the ANMDMR consolidated text on 18 September 2026, at Legea 143/2000, Tabelul IV; art. 1 lit. a şi e.

Etizolam

Legal status: Etizolam is controlled in Romania. The entry relied on reads «Etizolam (4-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-ethyl-9-methyl-6H-thieno[3,2-f] [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4] diazepine)», located at Legea 143/2000, Tabelul III; arts. 1(d), 2(1), 4(1).

Fentanyl

Legal status: Fentanyl is controlled in Romania. The entry relied on reads «Fentanyl = 1-phenethyl-4-N-propionylanilinopiperidine», located at Legea 143/2000, Tabelul II; arts. 1(c), 2(2), 4(2). The Romanian schedule names Fentanyl or its exact chemical identity as a high-risk drug in Tabelul II. Romania uses the simplest of the three models: the schedule sits inside the Act.

Gabapentin

Legal status: Gabapentin is not controlled in Romania, and that is a completed finding rather than an open question. The search recorded for this row is «Căutare exactă 18 Sep 2026: “Gabapentin”; “gabapentinum”; “Neurontin”, în Legea 143/2000, tabelele I-III şi clauzele privind sărurile şi produsele. Rezultat: nicio înscriere pentru Gabapentin şi nicio trimitere nominală în Legea 194/2011.». Absence from Romania's named schedules is a completed negative result for this slug; it is not deferred as an unperformed search. Romania uses the simplest of the three models: the schedule sits inside the Act. Article 1(a) makes Tables I to IV integral to Legea 143/2000 and supplies the mechanism for adding, deleting or moving an entry. Tables I and II are droguri de mare risc, high-risk drugs; Table III is droguri de risc. A mixture is reached through a listed constituent. Legea 194/2011 is a separate products regime and does not turn an unlisted name into a scheduled drug. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidated text identifies Legea 30/2025 as the latest schedule amendment included, effective 29 March 2025, and states that it contains all officially published amendments through that Act. An absence is a statement about a list at a moment, and this one is stated as at that consolidation and no later.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Romania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. And none of the drug penalties reach gabapentin, because they attach to the substances on the Romania list and gabapentin is not one of them. The scale runs by table and by conduct. Article 4(1) sets 3 months to 2 years or a fine for unauthorised own-use acts involving a Table III risk drug, and article 4(2) sets 6 months to 3 years where the drug is high-risk. Article 2 sets 3 to 10 years for risk-drug circulation and 5 to 15 years for high-risk. Article 3(2) sets 10 to 20 years for unauthorised import or export of a high-risk drug. Article 9 raises the special limits by one third where the act finances drug consumption, and article 13(2) permits up to 5 further years in the specified education-related circumstance. Those provisions are stated here so the scale is visible, not because they apply to gabapentin. If a listed constituent is proved in a given material, that constituent is assessed on its own and carries its own exposure.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled drug prescription question for gabapentin in Romania, because the controlled list does not carry it. Whether gabapentin is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Romania medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. the Romanian National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices is the body that answers it. Treat the supply route as unread rather than as open.
Documentation: Carry gabapentin as the Romania medicines regime allows and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance that is off the controlled list is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for gabapentin and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for gabapentin appears in what was read here. Provenance follows. The instrument searched was Legea 143/2000, whose Tables I to IV article 1(a) makes integral to the Act itself, on Portal Legislativ, the official legislation portal of the Ministry of Justice, and the ANMDMR consolidated text on 18 September 2026 and no entry for gabapentin was found.

In Romania hydrocodone sits in Tabelul II of Legea 143/2000, and which table it sits in is what selects the article below. The scale runs by table and by conduct. Article 4(1) sets 3 months to 2 years or a fine for unauthorised own-use acts involving a Table III risk drug, and article 4(2) sets 6 months to 3 years where the drug is high-risk. Article 2 sets 3 to 10 years for risk-drug circulation and 5 to 15 years for high-risk. Article 3(2) sets 10 to 20 years for unauthorised import or export of a high-risk drug. Article 9 raises the special limits by one third where the act finances drug consumption, and article 13(2) permits up to 5 further years in the specified education-related circumstance. The overall custody ceiling is 30 years, which comes from Cod penal article 60 as the general maximum rather than from any single drug article. Romania prints no statutory gram threshold and no per-substance personal-use quantity anywhere in Legea 143/2000. The table a substance sits in, not its weight, is what selects the article.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for hydrocodone and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the control status: hydrocodone is on the Romania controlled list, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Romania medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit, and the Romanian National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices is the body that states them. Do not read this row as a statement that hydrocodone cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for hydrocodone, and get the Romanian National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for hydrocodone appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. Provenance follows. The controlling text was read on Portal Legislativ, the official legislation portal of the Ministry of Justice, and the ANMDMR consolidated text on 18 September 2026, at Legea 143/2000, Tabelul II; arts. 1(c), 2(2), 4(2).

MDMA

Legal status: MDMA is controlled in Romania. The entry relied on reads «3,4-Methylenedioxymetamfetamine (MDMA) = dl-3,4-methylenedioxy-N, alpha-dimethylphenyl-ethylamine», located at Legea 143/2000, Tabelul I; arts. 1(c), 2(2), 4(2). The Romanian schedule names MDMA or its exact chemical identity as a high-risk drug in Tabelul I. Romania uses the simplest of the three models: the schedule sits inside the Act. Article 1(a) makes Tables I to IV integral to Legea 143/2000 and supplies the mechanism for adding, deleting or moving an entry. Tables I and II are droguri de mare risc, high-risk drugs; Table III is droguri de risc. A mixture is reached through a listed constituent. Legea 194/2011 is a separate products regime and does not turn an unlisted name into a scheduled drug. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidated text identifies Legea 30/2025 as the latest schedule amendment included, effective 29 March 2025, and states that it contains all officially published amendments through that Act.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Romania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. In Romania MDMA sits in Tabelul I of Legea 143/2000, and which table it sits in is what selects the article below. The scale runs by table and by conduct. Article 4(1) sets 3 months to 2 years or a fine for unauthorised own-use acts involving a Table III risk drug, and article 4(2) sets 6 months to 3 years where the drug is high-risk. Article 2 sets 3 to 10 years for risk-drug circulation and 5 to 15 years for high-risk. Article 3(2) sets 10 to 20 years for unauthorised import or export of a high-risk drug. Article 9 raises the special limits by one third where the act finances drug consumption, and article 13(2) permits up to 5 further years in the specified education-related circumstance. The overall custody ceiling is 30 years, which comes from Cod penal article 60 as the general maximum rather than from any single drug article. Romania prints no statutory gram threshold and no per-substance personal-use quantity anywhere in Legea 143/2000. The table a substance sits in, not its weight, is what selects the article.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for MDMA and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the control status: MDMA is on the Romania controlled list, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Romania medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit, and the Romanian National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices is the body that states them. Do not read this row as a statement that MDMA cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for MDMA, and get the Romanian National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for MDMA appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. Provenance follows. The controlling text was read on Portal Legislativ, the official legislation portal of the Ministry of Justice, and the ANMDMR consolidated text on 18 September 2026, at Legea 143/2000, Tabelul I; arts. 1(c), 2(2), 4(2).

MDPV

Legal status: MDPV is controlled in Romania. The entry relied on reads «Metilendioxipirovaleronă (MDPV)», located at Legea 143/2000, Tabelul III; arts. 1(d), 2(1), 4(1). The Romanian schedule names MDPV or its exact chemical identity as a risk drug in Tabelul III. Romania uses the simplest of the three models: the schedule sits inside the Act. Article 1(a) makes Tables I to IV integral to Legea 143/2000 and supplies the mechanism for adding, deleting or moving an entry. Tables I and II are droguri de mare risc, high-risk drugs; Table III is droguri de risc. A mixture is reached through a listed constituent.

Memantine

Legal status: Memantine is not controlled in Romania, and that is a completed finding rather than an open question. The search recorded for this row is «Căutare exactă 18 Sep 2026: “Memantine”; “memantină”; “memantinum”, în Legea 143/2000, tabelele I-III şi clauzele privind sărurile şi produsele. Rezultat: nicio înscriere pentru Memantine şi nicio trimitere nominală în Legea 194/2011.». Absence from Romania's named schedules is a completed negative result for this slug; it is not deferred as an unperformed search. Romania uses the simplest of the three models: the schedule sits inside the Act. Article 1(a) makes Tables I to IV integral to Legea 143/2000 and supplies the mechanism for adding, deleting or moving an entry. Tables I and II are droguri de mare risc, high-risk drugs; Table III is droguri de risc. A mixture is reached through a listed constituent. Legea 194/2011 is a separate products regime and does not turn an unlisted name into a scheduled drug. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidated text identifies Legea 30/2025 as the latest schedule amendment included, effective 29 March 2025, and states that it contains all officially published amendments through that Act. An absence is a statement about a list at a moment, and this one is stated as at that consolidation and no later.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Romania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. And none of the drug penalties reach memantine, because they attach to the substances on the Romania list and memantine is not one of them. The scale runs by table and by conduct. Article 4(1) sets 3 months to 2 years or a fine for unauthorised own-use acts involving a Table III risk drug, and article 4(2) sets 6 months to 3 years where the drug is high-risk. Article 2 sets 3 to 10 years for risk-drug circulation and 5 to 15 years for high-risk. Article 3(2) sets 10 to 20 years for unauthorised import or export of a high-risk drug. Article 9 raises the special limits by one third where the act finances drug consumption, and article 13(2) permits up to 5 further years in the specified education-related circumstance. Those provisions are stated here so the scale is visible, not because they apply to memantine. If a listed constituent is proved in a given material, that constituent is assessed on its own and carries its own exposure.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled drug prescription question for memantine in Romania, because the controlled list does not carry it. Whether memantine is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Romania medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. the Romanian National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices is the body that answers it. Treat the supply route as unread rather than as open.
Documentation: Carry memantine as the Romania medicines regime allows and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance that is off the controlled list is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for memantine and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for memantine appears in what was read here. Provenance follows. The instrument searched was Legea 143/2000, whose Tables I to IV article 1(a) makes integral to the Act itself, on Portal Legislativ, the official legislation portal of the Ministry of Justice, and the ANMDMR consolidated text on 18 September 2026 and no entry for memantine was found.

Mephedrone (4-MMC)

Legal status: Mephedrone is controlled in Romania. The entry relied on reads «4-metilmetcatinona (mefedrona) = 1-(4-metilfenil)-2-metilaminopropan-1-ona», located at Legea 143/2000, Tabelul I; arts. 1(c), 2(2), 4(2). The Romanian schedule names Mephedrone or its exact chemical identity as a high-risk drug in Tabelul I. Romania uses the simplest of the three models: the schedule sits inside the Act.

Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Romania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. In Romania mephedrone sits in Tabelul I of Legea 143/2000, and which table it sits in is what selects the article below. The scale runs by table and by conduct. Article 4(1) sets 3 months to 2 years or a fine for unauthorised own-use acts involving a Table III risk drug, and article 4(2) sets 6 months to 3 years where the drug is high-risk. Article 2 sets 3 to 10 years for risk-drug circulation and 5 to 15 years for high-risk. Article 3(2) sets 10 to 20 years for unauthorised import or export of a high-risk drug.

In Romania methaqualone sits in Tabelul II of Legea 143/2000, and which table it sits in is what selects the article below. The scale runs by table and by conduct. Article 4(1) sets 3 months to 2 years or a fine for unauthorised own-use acts involving a Table III risk drug, and article 4(2) sets 6 months to 3 years where the drug is high-risk. Article 2 sets 3 to 10 years for risk-drug circulation and 5 to 15 years for high-risk. Article 3(2) sets 10 to 20 years for unauthorised import or export of a high-risk drug. Article 9 raises the special limits by one third where the act finances drug consumption, and article 13(2) permits up to 5 further years in the specified education-related circumstance. The overall custody ceiling is 30 years, which comes from Cod penal article 60 as the general maximum rather than from any single drug article. Romania prints no statutory gram threshold and no per-substance personal-use quantity anywhere in Legea 143/2000. The table a substance sits in, not its weight, is what selects the article.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for methaqualone and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the control status: methaqualone is on the Romania controlled list, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Romania medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit, and the Romanian National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices is the body that states them. Do not read this row as a statement that methaqualone cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for methaqualone, and get the Romanian National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for methaqualone appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. Provenance follows. The controlling text was read on Portal Legislativ, the official legislation portal of the Ministry of Justice, and the ANMDMR consolidated text on 18 September 2026, at Legea 143/2000, Tabelul II; arts. 1(c), 2(2), 4(2).

Modafinil

Legal status: Modafinil is not controlled in Romania, and that is a completed finding rather than an open question. The search recorded for this row is «Căutare exactă 18 Sep 2026: “Modafinil”; “modafinilum”; “Provigil”, în Legea 143/2000, tabelele I-III şi clauzele privind sărurile şi produsele. Rezultat: nicio înscriere pentru Modafinil şi nicio trimitere nominală în Legea 194/2011.». Absence from Romania's named schedules is a completed negative result for this slug; it is not deferred as an unperformed search. Romania uses the simplest of the three models: the schedule sits inside the Act. Article 1(a) makes Tables I to IV integral to Legea 143/2000 and supplies the mechanism for adding, deleting or moving an entry. Tables I and II are droguri de mare risc, high-risk drugs; Table III is droguri de risc. A mixture is reached through a listed constituent. Legea 194/2011 is a separate products regime and does not turn an unlisted name into a scheduled drug. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidated text identifies Legea 30/2025 as the latest schedule amendment included, effective 29 March 2025, and states that it contains all officially published amendments through that Act. An absence is a statement about a list at a moment, and this one is stated as at that consolidation and no later.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Romania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. And none of the drug penalties reach modafinil, because they attach to the substances on the Romania list and modafinil is not one of them. The scale runs by table and by conduct. Article 4(1) sets 3 months to 2 years or a fine for unauthorised own-use acts involving a Table III risk drug, and article 4(2) sets 6 months to 3 years where the drug is high-risk. Article 2 sets 3 to 10 years for risk-drug circulation and 5 to 15 years for high-risk. Article 3(2) sets 10 to 20 years for unauthorised import or export of a high-risk drug. Article 9 raises the special limits by one third where the act finances drug consumption, and article 13(2) permits up to 5 further years in the specified education-related circumstance. Those provisions are stated here so the scale is visible, not because they apply to modafinil. If a listed constituent is proved in a given material, that constituent is assessed on its own and carries its own exposure.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled drug prescription question for modafinil in Romania, because the controlled list does not carry it. Whether modafinil is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Romania medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. the Romanian National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices is the body that answers it. Treat the supply route as unread rather than as open.
Documentation: Carry modafinil as the Romania medicines regime allows and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance that is off the controlled list is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for modafinil and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for modafinil appears in what was read here. Provenance follows. The instrument searched was Legea 143/2000, whose Tables I to IV article 1(a) makes integral to the Act itself, on Portal Legislativ, the official legislation portal of the Ministry of Justice, and the ANMDMR consolidated text on 18 September 2026 and no entry for modafinil was found.

Nimetazepam

Legal status: Nimetazepam is controlled in Romania. The entry relied on reads «Nimetazepam = 1,3-dihydro-1-methyl-7-nitro-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one», located at Legea 143/2000, Tabelul III; arts. 1(d), 2(1), 4(1). The Romanian schedule names Nimetazepam or its exact chemical identity as a risk drug in Tabelul III. Romania uses the simplest of the three models: the schedule sits inside the Act. Article 1(a) makes Tables I to IV integral to Legea 143/2000 and supplies the mechanism for adding, deleting or moving an entry. Tables I and II are droguri de mare risc, high-risk drugs; Table III is droguri de risc. A mixture is reached through a listed constituent. Legea 194/2011 is a separate products regime and does not turn an unlisted name into a scheduled drug. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidated text identifies Legea 30/2025 as the latest schedule amendment included, effective 29 March 2025, and states that it contains all officially published amendments through that Act.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Romania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. In Romania nimetazepam sits in Tabelul III of Legea 143/2000, and which table it sits in is what selects the article below. The scale runs by table and by conduct. Article 4(1) sets 3 months to 2 years or a fine for unauthorised own-use acts involving a Table III risk drug, and article 4(2) sets 6 months to 3 years where the drug is high-risk. Article 2 sets 3 to 10 years for risk-drug circulation and 5 to 15 years for high-risk. Article 3(2) sets 10 to 20 years for unauthorised import or export of a high-risk drug. Article 9 raises the special limits by one third where the act finances drug consumption, and article 13(2) permits up to 5 further years in the specified education-related circumstance. The overall custody ceiling is 30 years, which comes from Cod penal article 60 as the general maximum rather than from any single drug article. Romania prints no statutory gram threshold and no per-substance personal-use quantity anywhere in Legea 143/2000. The table a substance sits in, not its weight, is what selects the article.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for nimetazepam and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the control status: nimetazepam is on the Romania controlled list, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Romania medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit, and the Romanian National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices is the body that states them. Do not read this row as a statement that nimetazepam cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for nimetazepam, and get the Romanian National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for nimetazepam appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. Provenance follows. The controlling text was read on Portal Legislativ, the official legislation portal of the Ministry of Justice, and the ANMDMR consolidated text on 18 September 2026, at Legea 143/2000, Tabelul III; arts. 1(d), 2(1), 4(1).

Nitrous Oxide

Legal status: Nitrous oxide is not controlled in Romania, and that is a completed finding rather than an open question. The search recorded for this row is «Căutare exactă 18 Sep 2026: “oxid de azot”; “protoxid de azot”; “N2O”, în Legea 143/2000, tabelele I-III şi clauzele privind sărurile şi produsele. Rezultat: nicio înscriere pentru Nitrous oxide şi nicio trimitere nominală în Legea 194/2011.». Absence from Romania's named schedules is a completed negative result for this slug; it is not deferred as an unperformed search. Romania uses the simplest of the three models: the schedule sits inside the Act. Article 1(a) makes Tables I to IV integral to Legea 143/2000 and supplies the mechanism for adding, deleting or moving an entry. Tables I and II are droguri de mare risc, high-risk drugs; Table III is droguri de risc. A mixture is reached through a listed constituent.

An absence is a statement about a list at a moment, and this one is stated as at that consolidation and no later.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Romania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. And none of the drug penalties reach nitrous oxide, because they attach to the substances on the Romania list and nitrous oxide is not one of them. The scale runs by table and by conduct. Article 4(1) sets 3 months to 2 years or a fine for unauthorised own-use acts involving a Table III risk drug, and article 4(2) sets 6 months to 3 years where the drug is high-risk. Article 2 sets 3 to 10 years for risk-drug circulation and 5 to 15 years for high-risk. Article 3(2) sets 10 to 20 years for unauthorised import or export of a high-risk drug. Article 9 raises the special limits by one third where the act finances drug consumption, and article 13(2) permits up to 5 further years in the specified education-related circumstance. Those provisions are stated here so the scale is visible, not because they apply to nitrous oxide. If a listed constituent is proved in a given material, that constituent is assessed on its own and carries its own exposure.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled drug prescription question for nitrous oxide in Romania, because the controlled list does not carry it. Whether nitrous oxide is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Romania medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. the Romanian National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices is the body that answers it. Treat the supply route as unread rather than as open.
Documentation: Carry nitrous oxide as the Romania medicines regime allows and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance that is off the controlled list is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for nitrous oxide and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for nitrous oxide appears in what was read here.

Article 2 sets 3 to 10 years for risk-drug circulation and 5 to 15 years for high-risk. Article 3(2) sets 10 to 20 years for unauthorised import or export of a high-risk drug. Article 9 raises the special limits by one third where the act finances drug consumption, and article 13(2) permits up to 5 further years in the specified education-related circumstance.

If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for poppers and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the control status: poppers is on the Romania controlled list, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Romania medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit, and the Romanian National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices is the body that states them. Do not read this row as a statement that poppers cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for poppers, and get the Romanian National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border.

Tables I and II are droguri de mare risc, high-risk drugs; Table III is droguri de risc. A mixture is reached through a listed constituent.

Tramadol

Legal status: Tramadol is controlled in Romania. The entry relied on reads «(1R,2R)-2-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)cyclohexanol (Tramadol)», located at Legea 143/2000, Tabelul II; arts. 1(c), 2(2), 4(2). The Romanian schedule names Tramadol or its exact chemical identity as a high-risk drug in Tabelul II. Romania uses the simplest of the three models: the schedule sits inside the Act. Article 1(a) makes Tables I to IV integral to Legea 143/2000 and supplies the mechanism for adding, deleting or moving an entry. Tables I and II are droguri de mare risc, high-risk drugs; Table III is droguri de risc. A mixture is reached through a listed constituent. Legea 194/2011 is a separate products regime and does not turn an unlisted name into a scheduled drug. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidated text identifies Legea 30/2025 as the latest schedule amendment included, effective 29 March 2025, and states that it contains all officially published amendments through that Act.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Romania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. In Romania tramadol sits in Tabelul II of Legea 143/2000, and which table it sits in is what selects the article below. The scale runs by table and by conduct. Article 4(1) sets 3 months to 2 years or a fine for unauthorised own-use acts involving a Table III risk drug, and article 4(2) sets 6 months to 3 years where the drug is high-risk. Article 2 sets 3 to 10 years for risk-drug circulation and 5 to 15 years for high-risk. Article 3(2) sets 10 to 20 years for unauthorised import or export of a high-risk drug. Article 9 raises the special limits by one third where the act finances drug consumption, and article 13(2) permits up to 5 further years in the specified education-related circumstance. The overall custody ceiling is 30 years, which comes from Cod penal article 60 as the general maximum rather than from any single drug article. Romania prints no statutory gram threshold and no per-substance personal-use quantity anywhere in Legea 143/2000. The table a substance sits in, not its weight, is what selects the article.
If prescribed / medical: There may be a lawful medical route for tramadol and this row does not settle it. What is settled is the control status: tramadol is on the Romania controlled list, so any supply runs inside the control regime rather than around it. The prescribing, dispensing and import conditions sit in the Romania medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit, and the Romanian National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices is the body that states them. Do not read this row as a statement that tramadol cannot be a prescribed medicine, because that is a different question and this row does not reach it. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for tramadol, and get the Romanian National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices or the relevant embassy to confirm the position in writing before you travel rather than at the border. That is the carriage answer and it is short because no traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for tramadol appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists. Provenance follows. The controlling text was read on Portal Legislativ, the official legislation portal of the Ministry of Justice, and the ANMDMR consolidated text on 18 September 2026, at Legea 143/2000, Tabelul II; arts. 1(c), 2(2), 4(2).

Xanax (Alprazolam)

Legal status: Alprazolam is controlled in Romania. The entry relied on reads «Alprazolam = 8-chloro-1-methyl-6-phenyl-4H-s-triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]benzodiazepine», located at Legea 143/2000, Tabelul III; arts. 1(d), 2(1), 4(1). The Romanian schedule names Alprazolam or its exact chemical identity as a risk drug in Tabelul III. Romania uses the simplest of the three models: the schedule sits inside the Act.

Xylazine

Legal status: Xylazine is not controlled in Romania, and that is a completed finding rather than an open question. The search recorded for this row is «Căutare exactă 18 Sep 2026: “Xylazine”; “xilazină”; “xylazinum”, în Legea 143/2000, tabelele I-III şi clauzele privind sărurile şi produsele. Rezultat: nicio înscriere pentru Xylazine şi nicio trimitere nominală în Legea 194/2011.». Absence from Romania's named schedules is a completed negative result for this slug; it is not deferred as an unperformed search. Romania uses the simplest of the three models: the schedule sits inside the Act. Article 1(a) makes Tables I to IV integral to Legea 143/2000 and supplies the mechanism for adding, deleting or moving an entry. Tables I and II are droguri de mare risc, high-risk drugs; Table III is droguri de risc. A mixture is reached through a listed constituent. Legea 194/2011 is a separate products regime and does not turn an unlisted name into a scheduled drug. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidated text identifies Legea 30/2025 as the latest schedule amendment included, effective 29 March 2025, and states that it contains all officially published amendments through that Act. An absence is a statement about a list at a moment, and this one is stated as at that consolidation and no later.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Romania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. And none of the drug penalties reach xylazine, because they attach to the substances on the Romania list and xylazine is not one of them. The scale runs by table and by conduct. Article 4(1) sets 3 months to 2 years or a fine for unauthorised own-use acts involving a Table III risk drug, and article 4(2) sets 6 months to 3 years where the drug is high-risk. Article 2 sets 3 to 10 years for risk-drug circulation and 5 to 15 years for high-risk. Article 3(2) sets 10 to 20 years for unauthorised import or export of a high-risk drug. Article 9 raises the special limits by one third where the act finances drug consumption, and article 13(2) permits up to 5 further years in the specified education-related circumstance. Those provisions are stated here so the scale is visible, not because they apply to xylazine. If a listed constituent is proved in a given material, that constituent is assessed on its own and carries its own exposure.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled drug prescription question for xylazine in Romania, because the controlled list does not carry it. Whether xylazine is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Romania medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit. the Romanian National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices is the body that answers it. Treat the supply route as unread rather than as open.
Documentation: Carry xylazine as the Romania medicines regime allows and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance that is off the controlled list is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for xylazine and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for xylazine appears in what was read here. Provenance follows. The instrument searched was Legea 143/2000, whose Tables I to IV article 1(a) makes integral to the Act itself, on Portal Legislativ, the official legislation portal of the Ministry of Justice, and the ANMDMR consolidated text on 18 September 2026 and no entry for xylazine was found.

Zolpidem

Legal status: Zolpidem is controlled in Romania. The entry relied on reads «ZOLPIDEM = N,N,6-trimethyl-2-p-tolylimidazol [1,2=α] pyridin-3-acetamide», located at Legea 143/2000, Tabelul III; arts. 1(d), 2(1), 4(1). The Romanian schedule names Zolpidem or its exact chemical identity as a risk drug in Tabelul III. Romania uses the simplest of the three models: the schedule sits inside the Act.

Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Romania has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. In Romania zolpidem sits in Tabelul III of Legea 143/2000, and which table it sits in is what selects the article below. The scale runs by table and by conduct.
