First Schedule Part 1 paragraph 2 extends the listing to stereoisomeric forms but expressly carves this out, reading "not being dextromethorphan or dextrorphan". That is an exclusion, not a listing, and it was rejected as a source of control. The Fifth Schedule, Part 1 excludes "Any medicinal product" at item 10, "Any health product" at item 6 and "Any poison" at item 11 from the Part 2A psychoactive substance offences, and item 14 excludes "Any substance listed under any Schedule to the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs of 1961, as amended by the 1972 Protocol or the Convention on Psychotropic Substances of 1971". Control comes from the Health Products Act 2007, the Medicines Act 1975 and the Poisons Act 1938, administered by the Health Sciences Authority, not from the Misuse of Drugs Act.
Consequences if caught: Second Schedule reach: none. The Second Schedule carries 20 rows imposing "Death" and they name exactly eight terms: opium, morphine, diamorphine, cocaine, cannabis, cannabis mixture, cannabis resin and methamphetamine. Dextromethorphan is none of those eight and is not a controlled drug, so no capital band in this Act can reach it. Importing a prescription medicine without the required approval is dealt with under the health products legislation, not under the Misuse of Drugs Act's trafficking sections.
If prescribed / medical: Do not rely on a foreign prescription without checking with the Health Sciences Authority before travelling.

MDPV

Legal status: Class A controlled drug. Misuse of Drugs Act 1973 (Singapore), First Schedule, Part 1 (Class A Drugs), entry (7), which reads "1-(1,3-Benzodioxol-5-yl)-2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)pentan-1-one (also known as 3,4-methylenedioxypyrovalerone or MDPV)".
Consequences if caught: Second Schedule reach: none. The Second Schedule carries 20 rows imposing "Death" and they name exactly eight terms: opium, morphine, diamorphine, cocaine, cannabis, cannabis mixture, cannabis resin and methamphetamine. This substance is none of those eight and it is not reached through any of them, so the Second Schedule sets no capital band for it. Pyrovalerone is a different molecule at a different entry and was rejected as the source of this determination. Trafficking in a Class A drug carries "Maximum 20 years and 15 strokes" with a minimum of "5 years and 5 strokes"; unauthorised import, export or manufacture of a Class A drug carries "Maximum 30 years or imprisonment for life and 15 strokes".

Memantine

Legal status: Not a controlled drug under this Act. Memantine is in no Part of the First Schedule. The Fifth Schedule, Part 1 excludes "Any medicinal product" at item 10, "Any health product" at item 6 and "Any poison" at item 11 from the Part 2A psychoactive substance offences, and item 14 excludes "Any substance listed under any Schedule to the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs of 1961, as amended by the 1972 Protocol or the Convention on Psychotropic Substances of 1971". Control comes from the Health Products Act 2007, the Medicines Act 1975 and the Poisons Act 1938, administered by the Health Sciences Authority, not from the Misuse of Drugs Act.
Consequences if caught: Second Schedule reach: none. The Second Schedule carries 20 rows imposing "Death" and they name exactly eight terms: opium, morphine, diamorphine, cocaine, cannabis, cannabis mixture, cannabis resin and methamphetamine. Memantine is none of those eight and is not a controlled drug, so no capital band in this Act can reach it. Importing a prescription medicine without the required approval is dealt with under the health products legislation, not under the Misuse of Drugs Act's trafficking sections.
If prescribed / medical: Do not rely on a foreign prescription without checking with the Health Sciences Authority before travelling.
Documentation: VERIFIED against the instrument for the question asked. Instrument: Misuse of Drugs Act 1973 (Singapore).

Modafinil

Legal status: Not a controlled drug under this Act. Modafinil is in no Part of the First Schedule.

Synthetic Cannabinoids (K2 / Spice)

Legal status: Controlled as a class. The First Schedule to the Misuse of Drugs Act 1973 reaches synthetic cannabinoids through generic structural limbs rather than through a single entry. Part 1 carries paragraphs beginning "Any compound structurally derived from indole-3-carboxaldehyde", "indole-3-carboxamide" and "indole-3-carboxylic acid" by substitution with a type A substituent, each followed by dozens of named worked examples, plus separate paragraphs for naphthoylindole, naphthoylpyrrole and tetramethylcyclopropyl structures. Part 4 defines a type A substituent as alkyl, cyanoalkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkylmethyl, cycloalkylethyl and four named heterocyclic groups. The class is controlled. Which limb catches any one named compound is a per compound chemistry question the schedule leaves to analysis.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. The Second Schedule carries 20 rows imposing death and they name exactly eight terms: opium, morphine, diamorphine, cocaine, cannabis, cannabis mixture, cannabis resin and methamphetamine. No synthetic cannabinoid is among the eight and none of the generic cannabinoid limbs is a capital term, so the capital tier does not reach this class. A herbal smoking blend can separately be a cannabis mixture only if it contains tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabinol in vegetable matter, which a purely synthetic product does not. Supply and trafficking carry imprisonment and caning.
If prescribed / medical: Not established here. Do not rely on a foreign prescription without checking with the Health Sciences Authority before travelling.
Documentation: Verified against the instrument. Read: Misuse of Drugs Act 1973, First Schedule Parts 1 to 4, Second Schedule, Third Schedule and Fifth Schedule, at https://sso.agc.gov.sg/Act/MDA1973, the version the page marks current as at 17 Sep 2026, its most recent amendment being S 321 of 2026 with effect from 1 June 2026. The First Schedule was searched for "type A substituent", "indole-3-carboxylate", "JWH" and "indazole" and returned over 100 matching entries, which is itself the finding that the class is reached generically rather than by name. Settled: the class is controlled, and the Second Schedule does not reach it. Open: which limb catches any one named compound.

Zolpidem

Legal status: Not a controlled drug under this Act. Zolpidem is in no Part of the First Schedule. Zolpidem is an imidazopyridine, not a benzodiazepine. The Fifth Schedule, Part 1 excludes "Any medicinal product" at item 10, "Any health product" at item 6 and "Any poison" at item 11 from the Part 2A psychoactive substance offences, and item 14 excludes "Any substance listed under any Schedule to the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs of 1961, as amended by the 1972 Protocol or the Convention on Psychotropic Substances of 1971". Control comes from the Health Products Act 2007, the Medicines Act 1975 and the Poisons Act 1938, administered by the Health Sciences Authority, not from the Misuse of Drugs Act.
Consequences if caught: Second Schedule reach: none. The Second Schedule carries 20 rows imposing "Death" and they name exactly eight terms: opium, morphine, diamorphine, cocaine, cannabis, cannabis mixture, cannabis resin and methamphetamine. Zolpidem is none of those eight and is not a controlled drug, so no capital band in this Act can reach it. Importing a prescription medicine without the required approval is dealt with under the health products legislation, not under the Misuse of Drugs Act's trafficking sections.
If prescribed / medical: Do not rely on a foreign prescription without checking with the Health Sciences Authority before travelling.
Documentation: VERIFIED against the instrument for the question asked. Instrument: Misuse of Drugs Act 1973 (Singapore).
