Confirmed legal status

1P-LSD

Legal status: Controlled in Russia through a derivative entry, not by name. The dossier places 1P-LSD under the Decree 681 entry «Лизергиновая кислота и ее производные» (in English, lysergic acid and its derivatives) and describes it as: “List I narcotic by the lysergic-acid-derivative entry.” The row gives no structural reasoning beyond that description. The list number stated for this row is taken from the dossier's explanation column and is not printed in the quoted list entry. Decree 681 of 30 June 1998 sets the controlled lists and Decree 1002 of 1 October 2012 sets the amounts. The dossier read Decree 681 and Decree 1002 as amended up to Government Decree No. 880 of 11 June 2025, checked on 18 September 2026; a later government decree is not ruled out.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. The highest sentence the dossier records under articles 228 and 228.1 of the Criminal Code is life imprisonment, at article 228.1(5). For 1P-LSD the dossier's ceiling column gives Decree 1002 amounts of over 0.0001 g (significant), over 0.005 g (large) and over 0.1 g (especially large), and the dossier's penalties section says the printed numbers are strict “over” thresholds, not inclusive cut-offs. Personal possession without intent to sell below the significant amount is an administrative offence under KoAP article 6.8, and the dossier gives no fine figure for it. Above the significant amount article 228 of the Criminal Code applies, and the dossier's penalties section gives up to 3 years for a significant amount, 3 to 10 years for a large amount and 10 to 15 years for an especially large amount, with the additional sanctions stated in the article. Production, sale or transfer is criminal at any amount under article 228.1, where, as the dossier puts it, there is no minimum quantity gateway and quantity instead aggravates the sentence; the especially large limb, article 228.1(5), carries 15 to 20 years or life imprisonment, plus the optional fine and disqualification stated there. The record this cell rests on does not set out separate import, export, cultivation or consumption offences, so none is stated here.
If prescribed / medical: The dossier's model section describes List I as prohibited narcotics and psychotropics, and this row states no prescription or medical route for 1P-LSD, so none is given here.
Documentation: The dossier this cell rests on does not state a traveller documentation or import permit rule for 1P-LSD.

The record this cell rests on does not set out separate import, export, cultivation or consumption offences, so none is stated here.

Documentation: The dossier this cell rests on does not state a traveller documentation or import permit rule for etizolam.

Pink Cocaine / Tusi

Legal status: Controlled whenever the product contains a listed narcotic or psychotropic substance. Pink cocaine is a street name and not a legal substance: the dossier resolves it through the Decree 681 entry «Смеси, содержащие хотя бы одно наркотическое средство или психотропное вещество» (in English, mixtures containing at least one narcotic drug or psychotropic substance), so each tested constituent controls the classification and the amount. The dossier names no usual constituent for this label, so none is named here. Decree 681 of 30 June 1998 sets the controlled lists and Decree 1002 of 1 October 2012 sets the amounts. The dossier read Decree 681 and Decree 1002 as amended up to Government Decree No. 880 of 11 June 2025, checked on 18 September 2026; a later government decree is not ruled out.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. The highest sentence the dossier records under articles 228 and 228.1 of the Criminal Code is life imprisonment, at article 228.1(5). Decree 1002 supplies no class-wide number for pink cocaine: the dossier says the identified constituent's significant, large and especially large bands apply. Personal possession without intent to sell below the significant amount is an administrative offence under KoAP article 6.8, and the dossier gives no fine figure for it. Above the significant amount article 228 of the Criminal Code applies, and the dossier's penalties section gives up to 3 years for a significant amount, 3 to 10 years for a large amount and 10 to 15 years for an especially large amount, with the additional sanctions stated in the article. Production, sale or transfer is criminal at any amount under article 228.1, where, as the dossier puts it, there is no minimum quantity gateway and quantity instead aggravates the sentence; the especially large limb, article 228.1(5), carries 15 to 20 years or life imprisonment, plus the optional fine and disqualification stated there. The record this cell rests on does not set out separate import, export, cultivation or consumption offences, so none is stated here.
If prescribed / medical: The dossier this cell rests on does not state a prescription route for pink cocaine.
Documentation: The dossier this cell rests on does not state a traveller documentation or import permit rule for pink cocaine.

Pregabalin

Legal status: Controlled as a potent substance under Government Decree 964, at the entry «Прегабалин» (in English, pregabalin). The dossier treats pregabalin under article 234 of the Criminal Code, the separate regime for potent and poisonous substances, and records that Decree 1002 gives no significant, large and especially large amounts for it.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. The highest sentence the dossier records for this row is 8 years, under article 234 of the Criminal Code, where the statutory large scale dealing limb is met. The dossier quotes the phrase «крупный размер сильнодействующих веществ» / “large amount of potent substances”. The dossier's ceiling column records the Decree 964 large amount as “large >50”, printed without a unit, and says article 234 applies to unlawful dealing, not simple personal possession. The dossier states no sentence for article 234 below the large scale limb and sets out no separate import, export or possession offence for this row, so none is stated here.
If prescribed / medical: The dossier this cell rests on does not state a prescription route for pregabalin.
Documentation: The dossier this cell rests on does not state a traveller documentation or import permit rule for pregabalin.
