Confirmed legal status

1P-LSD

Legal status: 1P-LSD is not listed in the Slovak narcotic and psychotropic schedule. Act No. 139/1998 carries one closed operative schedule at Annex 1, divided into Groups I, II and III, and no matching listed substance was found for 1P-LSD. The source records the aliases searched: 1P-LSD; 1-propionyl-LSD, run through every group of Annex 1, its extension clauses and its final line. A no-hit on an English spelling would not have been enough, because the schedule uses Slovak names, chemical formulas, brand-neutral synonyms, plant entries and member-by-member lists. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups. The Criminal Code, No. 300/2005, decides the amount category through sections 135c to 135f and supplies the offences at sections 171 to 173. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidation of Act No. 139/1998 read was effective 1 January 2026 and incorporates amendment No. 293/2025; the Criminal Code consolidation read was effective 18 August 2026 and incorporates amendments through No. 168/2026. 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. Slovakia has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, under Criminal Code section 173(5), and that is the one point on which this row has to be read carefully: the life ceiling is not assigned to 1P-LSD, because sections 171 to 173 attach to the substances in Act No. 139/1998 Annex 1 and 1P-LSD is not one of them. No controlled-substance threshold is given for it either, for the same reason. If a listed constituent is proved in a given material, that constituent is assessed separately and carries its own exposure. That is not a statement that 1P-LSD is unregulated in Slovakia; it is a statement that the drug offence scale is not the instrument that reaches it, and this row did not audit whichever regime does.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled drug prescription question for 1P-LSD in Slovakia, because Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 does not carry it. Whether 1P-LSD is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Slovak medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit; the source states in terms that it is a schedule and penalty verification and not advice about licensing, medicines, precursors, food or tobacco. The State Institute for Drug Control is the body that answers it. Treat the supply route for 1P-LSD as unread rather than as open.
Documentation: Carry 1P-LSD as the Slovak medicines and pharmacy regime allows and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance that is off the schedule is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for 1P-LSD and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for 1P-LSD appears in what was read here. Provenance follows. Act No. 139/1998 and Criminal Code No. 300/2005 were read on Slov-Lex, the official legal information portal, on 18 September 2026, and every annex was carried to its end: Act 139 Annex 1 ends with zolpidem followed by the salts clause, and Criminal Code Annex 1 ends with the lysergide row.

2-FDCK

Legal status: 2-FDCK is controlled in Slovakia. Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 names 2-FDCK. The entry relied on reads «2-FDCK, 2-fluorodeschloroketamín, chemicky 2-(2-fluorofenyl)-2-(metylamino)cyclohexanón», and the source states that its Slovak spelling, synonym and printed chemistry were checked together rather than matched on an English name alone. The entry sits in Group I of Annex 1, among the psychotropic substances. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups. The Criminal Code, No. 300/2005, decides the amount category through sections 135c to 135f and supplies the offences at sections 171 to 173. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidation of Act No. 139/1998 read was effective 1 January 2026 and incorporates amendment No. 293/2025; the Criminal Code consolidation read was effective 18 August 2026 and incorporates amendments through No. 168/2026.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Slovakia has no death penalty, but it is the one country in this set whose drug ceiling is life imprisonment rather than a fixed term: Criminal Code section 173(5) reaches 10 to 25 years or life for unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, and it applies to 2-FDCK. The scale runs from one year to life. Section 171 covers unauthorised possession: one year for a negligible amount of cannabis or tetrahydrocannabinol, two years for another drug in a negligible amount, three years for a small amount, and six years in the aggravated form. Section 172 covers cultivation and reaches fifteen years at subsection (7). Section 173 covers unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, reaching 8 to 20 years at subsection (4) and 10 to 25 years or life imprisonment at subsection (5). Criminal Code Annex 1 prints no figure for this substance, so section 135c(2) supplies the statutory residual: a negligible amount is at most one gram of material containing the active substance. That one gram is a default that applies to every controlled drug absent from the printed table, and it is not a measurement of this substance. Section 135d then scales everything from the negligible amount by fixed multiples: five for a small amount, 250 for a larger one, 1,500 for a substantial one and 5,000 for a large one, with anything above 5,000 classed as extraordinarily large.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for 2-FDCK is a question this row does not answer, and the source says why: it is a schedule and penalty verification, not advice about licensing, medicines, precursors, food, tobacco or other regulatory regimes. What is established is the control status under Act No. 139/1998 and the amount category under the Criminal Code. Annex 2 to the Act is the exempt preparations list and is a separate question again. The State Institute for Drug Control is the body that states the prescribing and dispensing conditions for 2-FDCK. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for 2-FDCK, and get the State Institute for Drug Control 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. Act No. 139/1998 and Criminal Code No. 300/2005 were read on Slov-Lex, the official legal information portal, on 18 September 2026, in the consolidations effective 1 January 2026 and 18 August 2026.

Legal status: 25I-NBOMe is controlled in Slovakia. Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 names 25I-NBOMe.

That one gram is a default that applies to every controlled drug absent from the printed table, and it is not a measurement of this substance. Section 135d then scales everything from the negligible amount by fixed multiples: five for a small amount, 250 for a larger one, 1,500 for a substantial one and 5,000 for a large one, with anything above 5,000 classed as extraordinarily large.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for 2C-T-7 is a question this row does not answer, and the source says why: it is a schedule and penalty verification, not advice about licensing, medicines, precursors, food, tobacco or other regulatory regimes. What is established is the control status under Act No. 139/1998 and the amount category under the Criminal Code. Annex 2 to the Act is the exempt preparations list and is a separate question again. The State Institute for Drug Control is the body that states the prescribing and dispensing conditions for 2C-T-7. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for 2C-T-7, and get the State Institute for Drug Control 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 2C-T-7 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. Act No. 139/1998 and Criminal Code No. 300/2005 were read on Slov-Lex, the official legal information portal, on 18 September 2026, in the consolidations effective 1 January 2026 and 18 August 2026.

3-MMC

Legal status: 3-MMC is controlled in Slovakia. Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 names 3-MMC. The entry relied on reads «3-metylmetkatinón (3-MMC), chemicky 1-(3-metylfenyl)-2-(metylamino)propán-1-ón», and the source states that its Slovak spelling, synonym and printed chemistry were checked together rather than matched on an English name alone. The entry sits in Group I of Annex 1, among the psychotropic substances. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups. The Criminal Code, No. 300/2005, decides the amount category through sections 135c to 135f and supplies the offences at sections 171 to 173. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidation of Act No. 139/1998 read was effective 1 January 2026 and incorporates amendment No. 293/2025; the Criminal Code consolidation read was effective 18 August 2026 and incorporates amendments through No. 168/2026.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Slovakia has no death penalty, but it is the one country in this set whose drug ceiling is life imprisonment rather than a fixed term: Criminal Code section 173(5) reaches 10 to 25 years or life for unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, and it applies to 3-MMC. The scale runs from one year to life. Section 171 covers unauthorised possession: one year for a negligible amount of cannabis or tetrahydrocannabinol, two years for another drug in a negligible amount, three years for a small amount, and six years in the aggravated form. Section 172 covers cultivation and reaches fifteen years at subsection (7). Section 173 covers unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, reaching 8 to 20 years at subsection (4) and 10 to 25 years or life imprisonment at subsection (5). Criminal Code Annex 1 prints no figure for this substance, so section 135c(2) supplies the statutory residual: a negligible amount is at most one gram of material containing the active substance. That one gram is a default that applies to every controlled drug absent from the printed table, and it is not a measurement of this substance. Section 135d then scales everything from the negligible amount by fixed multiples: five for a small amount, 250 for a larger one, 1,500 for a substantial one and 5,000 for a large one, with anything above 5,000 classed as extraordinarily large.

4-AcO-DMT

Legal status: 4-AcO-DMT is not listed in the Slovak narcotic and psychotropic schedule. Act No. 139/1998 carries one closed operative schedule at Annex 1, divided into Groups I, II and III, and no matching listed substance was found for 4-AcO-DMT. The source records the aliases searched: 4-AcO-DMT; O-acetylpsilocin, run through every group of Annex 1, its extension clauses and its final line. A no-hit on an English spelling would not have been enough, because the schedule uses Slovak names, chemical formulas, brand-neutral synonyms, plant entries and member-by-member lists. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups. The Criminal Code, No. 300/2005, decides the amount category through sections 135c to 135f and supplies the offences at sections 171 to 173. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidation of Act No. 139/1998 read was effective 1 January 2026 and incorporates amendment No. 293/2025; the Criminal Code consolidation read was effective 18 August 2026 and incorporates amendments through No. 168/2026. 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. Slovakia has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, under Criminal Code section 173(5), and that is the one point on which this row has to be read carefully: the life ceiling is not assigned to 4-AcO-DMT, because sections 171 to 173 attach to the substances in Act No. 139/1998 Annex 1 and 4-AcO-DMT is not one of them. No controlled-substance threshold is given for it either, for the same reason. If a listed constituent is proved in a given material, that constituent is assessed separately and carries its own exposure. That is not a statement that 4-AcO-DMT is unregulated in Slovakia; it is a statement that the drug offence scale is not the instrument that reaches it, and this row did not audit whichever regime does.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled drug prescription question for 4-AcO-DMT in Slovakia, because Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 does not carry it. Whether 4-AcO-DMT is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Slovak medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit; the source states in terms that it is a schedule and penalty verification and not advice about licensing, medicines, precursors, food or tobacco. The State Institute for Drug Control is the body that answers it. Treat the supply route for 4-AcO-DMT as unread rather than as open.
Documentation: Carry 4-AcO-DMT as the Slovak medicines and pharmacy regime allows and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance that is off the schedule is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for 4-AcO-DMT and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for 4-AcO-DMT appears in what was read here. Provenance follows. Act No. 139/1998 and Criminal Code No. 300/2005 were read on Slov-Lex, the official legal information portal, on 18 September 2026, and every annex was carried to its end: Act 139 Annex 1 ends with zolpidem followed by the salts clause, and Criminal Code Annex 1 ends with the lysergide row.

Adderall

Legal status: Adderall is controlled in Slovakia. Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 names Adderall. The entry relied on reads «Amfetamín», and the source states that its Slovak spelling, synonym and printed chemistry were checked together rather than matched on an English name alone. The entry sits in Group II of Annex 1, among the psychotropic substances. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups. The Criminal Code, No. 300/2005, decides the amount category through sections 135c to 135f and supplies the offences at sections 171 to 173. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidation of Act No. 139/1998 read was effective 1 January 2026 and incorporates amendment No. 293/2025; the Criminal Code consolidation read was effective 18 August 2026 and incorporates amendments through No. 168/2026.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Slovakia has no death penalty, but it is the one country in this set whose drug ceiling is life imprisonment rather than a fixed term: Criminal Code section 173(5) reaches 10 to 25 years or life for unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, and it applies to Adderall. The scale runs from one year to life. Section 171 covers unauthorised possession: one year for a negligible amount of cannabis or tetrahydrocannabinol, two years for another drug in a negligible amount, three years for a small amount, and six years in the aggravated form. Section 172 covers cultivation and reaches fifteen years at subsection (7). Section 173 covers unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, reaching 8 to 20 years at subsection (4) and 10 to 25 years or life imprisonment at subsection (5). Criminal Code Annex 1 prints a negligible amount for this substance: “0,2 g” material and “140 mg” active substance as free base, Criminal Code Annex 1 and § 135c(1). That is a substance-specific figure, not the statutory residual. Section 135d then scales everything from the negligible amount by fixed multiples: five for a small amount, 250 for a larger one, 1,500 for a substantial one and 5,000 for a large one, with anything above 5,000 classed as extraordinarily large.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for Adderall is a question this row does not answer, and the source says why: it is a schedule and penalty verification, not advice about licensing, medicines, precursors, food, tobacco or other regulatory regimes. What is established is the control status under Act No. 139/1998 and the amount category under the Criminal Code. Annex 2 to the Act is the exempt preparations list and is a separate question again. The State Institute for Drug Control is the body that states the prescribing and dispensing conditions for Adderall. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for Adderall, and get the State Institute for Drug Control 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. Act No. 139/1998 and Criminal Code No. 300/2005 were read on Slov-Lex, the official legal information portal, on 18 September 2026, in the consolidations effective 1 January 2026 and 18 August 2026.

Alcohol

Legal status: Alcohol is not listed in the Slovak narcotic and psychotropic schedule. Act No. 139/1998 carries one closed operative schedule at Annex 1, divided into Groups I, II and III, and no matching listed substance was found for alcohol. The source records the aliases searched: alkohol; etanol; ethanol, run through every group of Annex 1, its extension clauses and its final line. A no-hit on an English spelling would not have been enough, because the schedule uses Slovak names, chemical formulas, brand-neutral synonyms, plant entries and member-by-member lists. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups. The Criminal Code, No. 300/2005, decides the amount category through sections 135c to 135f and supplies the offences at sections 171 to 173. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidation of Act No. 139/1998 read was effective 1 January 2026 and incorporates amendment No. 293/2025; the Criminal Code consolidation read was effective 18 August 2026 and incorporates amendments through No. 168/2026. 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. Slovakia has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, under Criminal Code section 173(5), and that is the one point on which this row has to be read carefully: the life ceiling is not assigned to alcohol, because sections 171 to 173 attach to the substances in Act No. 139/1998 Annex 1 and alcohol is not one of them. No controlled-substance threshold is given for it either, for the same reason. If a listed constituent is proved in a given material, that constituent is assessed separately and carries its own exposure. That is not a statement that alcohol is unregulated in Slovakia; it is a statement that the drug offence scale is not the instrument that reaches it, and this row did not audit whichever regime does.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled drug prescription question for alcohol in Slovakia, because Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 does not carry it. Whether alcohol is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Slovak medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit; the source states in terms that it is a schedule and penalty verification and not advice about licensing, medicines, precursors, food or tobacco. The State Institute for Drug Control is the body that answers it. Treat the supply route for alcohol as unread rather than as open.
Documentation: Carry alcohol as the Slovak medicines and pharmacy regime allows and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance that is off the schedule 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. Act No. 139/1998 and Criminal Code No. 300/2005 were read on Slov-Lex, the official legal information portal, on 18 September 2026, and every annex was carried to its end: Act 139 Annex 1 ends with zolpidem followed by the salts clause, and Criminal Code Annex 1 ends with the lysergide row.

Amanita muscaria

Legal status: Amanita muscaria is not listed in the Slovak narcotic and psychotropic schedule. Act No. 139/1998 carries one closed operative schedule at Annex 1, divided into Groups I, II and III, and no matching listed substance was found for Amanita muscaria. The source records the aliases searched: Amanita muscaria; muchotrávka červená; muscimol, run through every group of Annex 1, its extension clauses and its final line.

Amphetamine

Legal status: Amphetamine is controlled in Slovakia. Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 names amphetamine. The entry relied on reads «Amfetamín, chemicky (±)-(1-fenylpropán-2-yl)amín», and the source states that its Slovak spelling, synonym and printed chemistry were checked together rather than matched on an English name alone. The entry sits in Group II of Annex 1, among the psychotropic substances. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups. The Criminal Code, No. 300/2005, decides the amount category through sections 135c to 135f and supplies the offences at sections 171 to 173. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026.

Section 171 covers unauthorised possession: one year for a negligible amount of cannabis or tetrahydrocannabinol, two years for another drug in a negligible amount, three years for a small amount, and six years in the aggravated form. Section 172 covers cultivation and reaches fifteen years at subsection (7). Section 173 covers unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, reaching 8 to 20 years at subsection (4) and 10 to 25 years or life imprisonment at subsection (5). Criminal Code Annex 1 prints a negligible amount for this substance: “0,2 g” material and “140 mg” active substance as free base, Criminal Code Annex 1 and § 135c(1). That is a substance-specific figure, not the statutory residual. Section 135d then scales everything from the negligible amount by fixed multiples: five for a small amount, 250 for a larger one, 1,500 for a substantial one and 5,000 for a large one, with anything above 5,000 classed as extraordinarily large.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for amphetamine is a question this row does not answer, and the source says why: it is a schedule and penalty verification, not advice about licensing, medicines, precursors, food, tobacco or other regulatory regimes.

Amyl Nitrite

Legal status: Amyl nitrite is not listed in the Slovak narcotic and psychotropic schedule. Act No. 139/1998 carries one closed operative schedule at Annex 1, divided into Groups I, II and III, and no matching listed substance was found for amyl nitrite. The source records the aliases searched: amylnitrit; amyl nitrite; pentyl nitrite, run through every group of Annex 1, its extension clauses and its final line. A no-hit on an English spelling would not have been enough, because the schedule uses Slovak names, chemical formulas, brand-neutral synonyms, plant entries and member-by-member lists. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups.

Ayahuasca

Legal status: Ayahuasca is controlled in Slovakia. Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 does not name ayahuasca as such. The entry relied on reads «DMT, chemicky N,N-dimetyltryptamín», which is a constituent, so the result turns on proving that constituent in the material. The source is careful that this does not erase the natural-mixture exclusion at section 2(4)(a) of the Act, which is a separate question from whether the constituent is listed. The entry sits in Group I of Annex 1, among the psychotropic substances. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups. The Criminal Code, No. 300/2005, decides the amount category through sections 135c to 135f and supplies the offences at sections 171 to 173. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidation of Act No. 139/1998 read was effective 1 January 2026 and incorporates amendment No. 293/2025; the Criminal Code consolidation read was effective 18 August 2026 and incorporates amendments through No. 168/2026.

Slovakia has no death penalty, but it is the one country in this set whose drug ceiling is life imprisonment rather than a fixed term: Criminal Code section 173(5) reaches 10 to 25 years or life for unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, and it applies to ayahuasca. The scale runs from one year to life. Section 171 covers unauthorised possession: one year for a negligible amount of cannabis or tetrahydrocannabinol, two years for another drug in a negligible amount, three years for a small amount, and six years in the aggravated form. Section 172 covers cultivation and reaches fifteen years at subsection (7). Section 173 covers unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, reaching 8 to 20 years at subsection (4) and 10 to 25 years or life imprisonment at subsection (5). Criminal Code Annex 1 prints no figure for this substance, so section 135c(2) supplies the statutory residual: a negligible amount is at most one gram of material containing the active substance. That one gram is a default that applies to every controlled drug absent from the printed table, and it is not a measurement of this substance. Section 135d then scales everything from the negligible amount by fixed multiples: five for a small amount, 250 for a larger one, 1,500 for a substantial one and 5,000 for a large one, with anything above 5,000 classed as extraordinarily large.

Barbiturates

Legal status: Barbiturates is controlled in Slovakia. Barbiturates is a family label and Annex 1 gives it no single result. The Act controls named members and the Criminal Code prints a figure only for some of them, so the answer depends on which member is identified. The related text reads «Sekobarbital». The source does not record which group carries the entry. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups. The Criminal Code, No. 300/2005, decides the amount category through sections 135c to 135f and supplies the offences at sections 171 to 173. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidation of Act No. 139/1998 read was effective 1 January 2026 and incorporates amendment No. 293/2025; the Criminal Code consolidation read was effective 18 August 2026 and incorporates amendments through No. 168/2026.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Slovakia has no death penalty, but it is the one country in this set whose drug ceiling is life imprisonment rather than a fixed term: Criminal Code section 173(5) reaches 10 to 25 years or life for unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, and it applies to barbiturates. The scale runs from one year to life. Section 171 covers unauthorised possession: one year for a negligible amount of cannabis or tetrahydrocannabinol, two years for another drug in a negligible amount, three years for a small amount, and six years in the aggravated form. Section 172 covers cultivation and reaches fifteen years at subsection (7). Section 173 covers unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, reaching 8 to 20 years at subsection (4) and 10 to 25 years or life imprisonment at subsection (5). Neither the printed table nor the statutory residual gives a figure for this row as the source reads it, so the amount has to be taken from the identified member or constituent. Section 135d then scales everything from the negligible amount by fixed multiples: five for a small amount, 250 for a larger one, 1,500 for a substantial one and 5,000 for a large one, with anything above 5,000 classed as extraordinarily large.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for barbiturates is a question this row does not answer, and the source says why: it is a schedule and penalty verification, not advice about licensing, medicines, precursors, food, tobacco or other regulatory regimes.

Benzodiazepines

Legal status: Benzodiazepines is controlled in Slovakia. Benzodiazepines is a family label and Annex 1 gives it no single result. The Act controls named members and the Criminal Code prints a figure only for some of them, so the answer depends on which member is identified. The related text reads «Alprazolam». The entry sits in Group III of Annex 1. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups. The Criminal Code, No. 300/2005, decides the amount category through sections 135c to 135f and supplies the offences at sections 171 to 173. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidation of Act No. 139/1998 read was effective 1 January 2026 and incorporates amendment No. 293/2025; the Criminal Code consolidation read was effective 18 August 2026 and incorporates amendments through No. 168/2026.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Slovakia has no death penalty, but it is the one country in this set whose drug ceiling is life imprisonment rather than a fixed term: Criminal Code section 173(5) reaches 10 to 25 years or life for unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, and it applies to benzodiazepines. The scale runs from one year to life. Section 171 covers unauthorised possession: one year for a negligible amount of cannabis or tetrahydrocannabinol, two years for another drug in a negligible amount, three years for a small amount, and six years in the aggravated form. Section 172 covers cultivation and reaches fifteen years at subsection (7). Section 173 covers unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, reaching 8 to 20 years at subsection (4) and 10 to 25 years or life imprisonment at subsection (5). Neither the printed table nor the statutory residual gives a figure for this row as the source reads it, so the amount has to be taken from the identified member or constituent. Section 135d then scales everything from the negligible amount by fixed multiples: five for a small amount, 250 for a larger one, 1,500 for a substantial one and 5,000 for a large one, with anything above 5,000 classed as extraordinarily large.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for benzodiazepines is a question this row does not answer, and the source says why: it is a schedule and penalty verification, not advice about licensing, medicines, precursors, food, tobacco or other regulatory regimes. What is established is the control status under Act No. 139/1998 and the amount category under the Criminal Code. Annex 2 to the Act is the exempt preparations list and is a separate question again. The State Institute for Drug Control is the body that states the prescribing and dispensing conditions for benzodiazepines. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for benzodiazepines, and get the State Institute for Drug Control 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 benzodiazepines 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. Act No. 139/1998 and Criminal Code No. 300/2005 were read on Slov-Lex, the official legal information portal, on 18 September 2026, in the consolidations effective 1 January 2026 and 18 August 2026.

Buprenorphine

Legal status: Buprenorphine is controlled in Slovakia. Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 names buprenorphine. The entry relied on reads «Buprenorfín, chemicky 2-(N-cyklopropylmetyl-3-hydroxy-6-metoxy-4,5-epoxy-6,14-etanomorfinán-7-yl)-3,3-dimetylbután-2-ol», and the source states that its Slovak spelling, synonym and printed chemistry were checked together rather than matched on an English name alone. The entry sits in Group II of Annex 1, among the narcotic substances. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups. The Criminal Code, No. 300/2005, decides the amount category through sections 135c to 135f and supplies the offences at sections 171 to 173. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidation of Act No. 139/1998 read was effective 1 January 2026 and incorporates amendment No. 293/2025; the Criminal Code consolidation read was effective 18 August 2026 and incorporates amendments through No. 168/2026.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Slovakia has no death penalty, but it is the one country in this set whose drug ceiling is life imprisonment rather than a fixed term: Criminal Code section 173(5) reaches 10 to 25 years or life for unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, and it applies to buprenorphine. The scale runs from one year to life. Section 171 covers unauthorised possession: one year for a negligible amount of cannabis or tetrahydrocannabinol, two years for another drug in a negligible amount, three years for a small amount, and six years in the aggravated form. Section 172 covers cultivation and reaches fifteen years at subsection (7). Section 173 covers unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, reaching 8 to 20 years at subsection (4) and 10 to 25 years or life imprisonment at subsection (5). Criminal Code Annex 1 prints no figure for this substance, so section 135c(2) supplies the statutory residual: a negligible amount is at most one gram of material containing the active substance. That one gram is a default that applies to every controlled drug absent from the printed table, and it is not a measurement of this substance. Section 135d then scales everything from the negligible amount by fixed multiples: five for a small amount, 250 for a larger one, 1,500 for a substantial one and 5,000 for a large one, with anything above 5,000 classed as extraordinarily large.

Caffeine

Legal status: Caffeine is not listed in the Slovak narcotic and psychotropic schedule. Act No. 139/1998 carries one closed operative schedule at Annex 1, divided into Groups I, II and III, and no matching listed substance was found for caffeine. The source records the aliases searched: kofeín; caffeine, run through every group of Annex 1, its extension clauses and its final line. A no-hit on an English spelling would not have been enough, because the schedule uses Slovak names, chemical formulas, brand-neutral synonyms, plant entries and member-by-member lists. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups. The Criminal Code, No. 300/2005, decides the amount category through sections 135c to 135f and supplies the offences at sections 171 to 173. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidation of Act No. 139/1998 read was effective 1 January 2026 and incorporates amendment No. 293/2025; the Criminal Code consolidation read was effective 18 August 2026 and incorporates amendments through No. 168/2026. 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. Slovakia has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, under Criminal Code section 173(5), and that is the one point on which this row has to be read carefully: the life ceiling is not assigned to caffeine, because sections 171 to 173 attach to the substances in Act No. 139/1998 Annex 1 and caffeine is not one of them. No controlled-substance threshold is given for it either, for the same reason. If a listed constituent is proved in a given material, that constituent is assessed separately and carries its own exposure. That is not a statement that caffeine is unregulated in Slovakia; it is a statement that the drug offence scale is not the instrument that reaches it, and this row did not audit whichever regime does.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled drug prescription question for caffeine in Slovakia, because Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 does not carry it. Whether caffeine is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Slovak medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit; the source states in terms that it is a schedule and penalty verification and not advice about licensing, medicines, precursors, food or tobacco. The State Institute for Drug Control is the body that answers it. Treat the supply route for caffeine as unread rather than as open.
Documentation: Carry caffeine as the Slovak medicines and pharmacy regime allows and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance that is off the schedule 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. Act No. 139/1998 and Criminal Code No. 300/2005 were read on Slov-Lex, the official legal information portal, on 18 September 2026, and every annex was carried to its end: Act 139 Annex 1 ends with zolpidem followed by the salts clause, and Criminal Code Annex 1 ends with the lysergide row.

Cannabinol

Legal status: Cannabinol is not listed in the Slovak narcotic and psychotropic schedule. Act No. 139/1998 carries one closed operative schedule at Annex 1, divided into Groups I, II and III, and no matching listed substance was found for cannabinol. The source records the aliases searched: kanabinol; cannabinol; CBN, run through every group of Annex 1, its extension clauses and its final line.

Cannabis / THC

Legal status: Cannabis is controlled in Slovakia. Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 names cannabis. The entry relied on reads «Rastliny rodu Cannabis (konopa), okrem semien a odrôd konopy siatej uvedených v osobitnom predpise», and the source states that its Slovak spelling, synonym and printed chemistry were checked together rather than matched on an English name alone. The entry sits in Group I of Annex 1, among the narcotic substances. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups. The Criminal Code, No. 300/2005, decides the amount category through sections 135c to 135f and supplies the offences at sections 171 to 173. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidation of Act No. 139/1998 read was effective 1 January 2026 and incorporates amendment No. 293/2025; the Criminal Code consolidation read was effective 18 August 2026 and incorporates amendments through No. 168/2026.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Slovakia has no death penalty, but it is the one country in this set whose drug ceiling is life imprisonment rather than a fixed term: Criminal Code section 173(5) reaches 10 to 25 years or life for unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, and it applies to cannabis. The scale runs from one year to life. Section 171 covers unauthorised possession: one year for a negligible amount of cannabis or tetrahydrocannabinol, two years for another drug in a negligible amount, three years for a small amount, and six years in the aggravated form. Section 172 covers cultivation and reaches fifteen years at subsection (7). Section 173 covers unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, reaching 8 to 20 years at subsection (4) and 10 to 25 years or life imprisonment at subsection (5). Criminal Code Annex 1 prints a negligible amount for this substance: “2 g” material and “200 mg” THC; cultivation Annex 2 separately gives “najviac 2 rastliny” (at most two plants). That is a substance-specific figure, not the statutory residual. Section 135d then scales everything from the negligible amount by fixed multiples: five for a small amount, 250 for a larger one, 1,500 for a substantial one and 5,000 for a large one, with anything above 5,000 classed as extraordinarily large.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for cannabis is a question this row does not answer, and the source says why: it is a schedule and penalty verification, not advice about licensing, medicines, precursors, food, tobacco or other regulatory regimes. What is established is the control status under Act No. 139/1998 and the amount category under the Criminal Code. Annex 2 to the Act is the exempt preparations list and is a separate question again. The State Institute for Drug Control is the body that states the prescribing and dispensing conditions for cannabis. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for cannabis, and get the State Institute for Drug Control 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 cannabis appears anywhere in what was read for this row, and an absence in what was read is not proof that no scheme exists.

Cathinone

Legal status: Cathinone is controlled in Slovakia. Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 names cathinone. The entry relied on reads «Katinón, chemicky (-)-2-aminopropiofenón», and the source states that its Slovak spelling, synonym and printed chemistry were checked together rather than matched on an English name alone.

CBD

Legal status: CBD is not listed in the Slovak narcotic and psychotropic schedule. Act No. 139/1998 carries one closed operative schedule at Annex 1, divided into Groups I, II and III, and no matching listed substance was found for CBD. The source records the aliases searched: kanabidiol; cannabidiol; CBD, run through every group of Annex 1, its extension clauses and its final line. A no-hit on an English spelling would not have been enough, because the schedule uses Slovak names, chemical formulas, brand-neutral synonyms, plant entries and member-by-member lists. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups. The Criminal Code, No. 300/2005, decides the amount category through sections 135c to 135f and supplies the offences at sections 171 to 173. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026.

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. Slovakia has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, under Criminal Code section 173(5), and that is the one point on which this row has to be read carefully: the life ceiling is not assigned to CBD, because sections 171 to 173 attach to the substances in Act No. 139/1998 Annex 1 and CBD is not one of them. No controlled-substance threshold is given for it either, for the same reason. If a listed constituent is proved in a given material, that constituent is assessed separately and carries its own exposure. That is not a statement that CBD is unregulated in Slovakia; it is a statement that the drug offence scale is not the instrument that reaches it, and this row did not audit whichever regime does.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled drug prescription question for CBD in Slovakia, because Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 does not carry it. Whether CBD is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Slovak medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit; the source states in terms that it is a schedule and penalty verification and not advice about licensing, medicines, precursors, food or tobacco. The State Institute for Drug Control is the body that answers it. Treat the supply route for CBD as unread rather than as open.
Documentation: Carry CBD as the Slovak medicines and pharmacy regime allows and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance that is off the schedule is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for CBD and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for CBD appears in what was read here. Provenance follows. Act No. 139/1998 and Criminal Code No. 300/2005 were read on Slov-Lex, the official legal information portal, on 18 September 2026, and every annex was carried to its end: Act 139 Annex 1 ends with zolpidem followed by the salts clause, and Criminal Code Annex 1 ends with the lysergide row.

Clonazepam

Legal status: Clonazepam is controlled in Slovakia. Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 names clonazepam. The entry relied on reads «Klonazepam, chemicky 5-(2-chlórfenyl)-7-nitro-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[f]1,4-diazepín-2-ón», and the source states that its Slovak spelling, synonym and printed chemistry were checked together rather than matched on an English name alone. The entry sits in Group III of Annex 1, among the psychotropic substances. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups. The Criminal Code, No. 300/2005, decides the amount category through sections 135c to 135f and supplies the offences at sections 171 to 173. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidation of Act No. 139/1998 read was effective 1 January 2026 and incorporates amendment No. 293/2025; the Criminal Code consolidation read was effective 18 August 2026 and incorporates amendments through No. 168/2026.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Slovakia has no death penalty, but it is the one country in this set whose drug ceiling is life imprisonment rather than a fixed term: Criminal Code section 173(5) reaches 10 to 25 years or life for unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, and it applies to clonazepam. The scale runs from one year to life. Section 171 covers unauthorised possession: one year for a negligible amount of cannabis or tetrahydrocannabinol, two years for another drug in a negligible amount, three years for a small amount, and six years in the aggravated form. Section 172 covers cultivation and reaches fifteen years at subsection (7). Section 173 covers unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, reaching 8 to 20 years at subsection (4) and 10 to 25 years or life imprisonment at subsection (5). Criminal Code Annex 1 prints no figure for this substance, so section 135c(2) supplies the statutory residual: a negligible amount is at most one gram of material containing the active substance. That one gram is a default that applies to every controlled drug absent from the printed table, and it is not a measurement of this substance. Section 135d then scales everything from the negligible amount by fixed multiples: five for a small amount, 250 for a larger one, 1,500 for a substantial one and 5,000 for a large one, with anything above 5,000 classed as extraordinarily large.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for clonazepam is a question this row does not answer, and the source says why: it is a schedule and penalty verification, not advice about licensing, medicines, precursors, food, tobacco or other regulatory regimes. What is established is the control status under Act No. 139/1998 and the amount category under the Criminal Code. Annex 2 to the Act is the exempt preparations list and is a separate question again. The State Institute for Drug Control is the body that states the prescribing and dispensing conditions for clonazepam. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for clonazepam, and get the State Institute for Drug Control 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 clonazepam 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. Act No. 139/1998 and Criminal Code No. 300/2005 were read on Slov-Lex, the official legal information portal, on 18 September 2026, in the consolidations effective 1 January 2026 and 18 August 2026.

Cocaine

Legal status: Cocaine is controlled in Slovakia. Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 names cocaine. The entry relied on reads «Kokaín, chemicky metylester benzoylekgonínu», and the source states that its Slovak spelling, synonym and printed chemistry were checked together rather than matched on an English name alone. The entry sits in Group II of Annex 1, among the narcotic substances. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups.

Section 173 covers unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, reaching 8 to 20 years at subsection (4) and 10 to 25 years or life imprisonment at subsection (5). Criminal Code Annex 1 prints a negligible amount for this substance: “0,3 g” material and “100 mg” active substance as free base, Criminal Code Annex 1 and § 135c(1). That is a substance-specific figure, not the statutory residual. Section 135d then scales everything from the negligible amount by fixed multiples: five for a small amount, 250 for a larger one, 1,500 for a substantial one and 5,000 for a large one, with anything above 5,000 classed as extraordinarily large.

DMT

Legal status: DMT is controlled in Slovakia. Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 names DMT. The entry relied on reads «DMT, chemicky N,N-dimetyltryptamín», and the source states that its Slovak spelling, synonym and printed chemistry were checked together rather than matched on an English name alone. The entry sits in Group I of Annex 1, among the psychotropic substances. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups. The Criminal Code, No. 300/2005, decides the amount category through sections 135c to 135f and supplies the offences at sections 171 to 173. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidation of Act No. 139/1998 read was effective 1 January 2026 and incorporates amendment No. 293/2025; the Criminal Code consolidation read was effective 18 August 2026 and incorporates amendments through No. 168/2026.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Slovakia has no death penalty, but it is the one country in this set whose drug ceiling is life imprisonment rather than a fixed term: Criminal Code section 173(5) reaches 10 to 25 years or life for unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, and it applies to DMT. The scale runs from one year to life. Section 171 covers unauthorised possession: one year for a negligible amount of cannabis or tetrahydrocannabinol, two years for another drug in a negligible amount, three years for a small amount, and six years in the aggravated form. Section 172 covers cultivation and reaches fifteen years at subsection (7). Section 173 covers unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, reaching 8 to 20 years at subsection (4) and 10 to 25 years or life imprisonment at subsection (5). Criminal Code Annex 1 prints no figure for this substance, so section 135c(2) supplies the statutory residual: a negligible amount is at most one gram of material containing the active substance. That one gram is a default that applies to every controlled drug absent from the printed table, and it is not a measurement of this substance. Section 135d then scales everything from the negligible amount by fixed multiples: five for a small amount, 250 for a larger one, 1,500 for a substantial one and 5,000 for a large one, with anything above 5,000 classed as extraordinarily large.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for DMT is a question this row does not answer, and the source says why: it is a schedule and penalty verification, not advice about licensing, medicines, precursors, food, tobacco or other regulatory regimes. What is established is the control status under Act No. 139/1998 and the amount category under the Criminal Code. Annex 2 to the Act is the exempt preparations list and is a separate question again. The State Institute for Drug Control is the body that states the prescribing and dispensing conditions for DMT. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for DMT, and get the State Institute for Drug Control 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 DMT 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. Act No. 139/1998 and Criminal Code No. 300/2005 were read on Slov-Lex, the official legal information portal, on 18 September 2026, in the consolidations effective 1 January 2026 and 18 August 2026.

DOM

Legal status: DOM is controlled in Slovakia. Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 names DOM. The entry relied on reads «STP, DOM, chemicky 1-(2,5-dimetoxy-4-metylfenyl)propán-2-amín», and the source states that its Slovak spelling, synonym and printed chemistry were checked together rather than matched on an English name alone.

DXM

Legal status: DXM is excluded by name from the group that would otherwise control it in Slovakia, so it is not itself a controlled substance under that group. The Group II stereoisomer clause of Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 reads «Dextrometorfán... a Dextrorfanol... sú vyňaté z tejto skupiny», which expressly removes dextromethorphan and dextrorphan. That is an affirmative exclusion rather than a no-hit: the schedule considered the substance and carved it out, which is a stronger and more durable finding than an absence. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups. The Criminal Code, No. 300/2005, decides the amount category through sections 135c to 135f and supplies the offences at sections 171 to 173. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidation of Act No. 139/1998 read was effective 1 January 2026 and incorporates amendment No. 293/2025; the Criminal Code consolidation read was effective 18 August 2026 and incorporates amendments through No. 168/2026.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Slovakia has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence under Criminal Code section 173(5), and that ceiling is not assigned to DXM, because the group that would carry it excludes DXM by name. The instruments give no narcotic threshold for DXM for the same reason. The scale runs from one year to life. Section 171 covers unauthorised possession: one year for a negligible amount of cannabis or tetrahydrocannabinol, two years for another drug in a negligible amount, three years for a small amount, and six years in the aggravated form. Section 172 covers cultivation and reaches fifteen years at subsection (7). Section 173 covers unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, reaching 8 to 20 years at subsection (4) and 10 to 25 years or life imprisonment at subsection (5). Section 135d then scales everything from the negligible amount by fixed multiples: five for a small amount, 250 for a larger one, 1,500 for a substantial one and 5,000 for a large one, with anything above 5,000 classed as extraordinarily large. Those bands become live only if some other listed substance is proved in the material, and then they attach to that substance rather than to DXM.
If prescribed / medical: DXM is a medicine question rather than a controlled drug question in Slovakia, because the schedule excludes it by name. That exclusion is why an ordinary cough preparation containing it is not thereby a narcotic. The prescribing, dispensing and sale conditions sit in the Slovak medicines regime, which this row did not audit, and the State Institute for Drug Control is the body that states them. Treat the detail of the route as unread.
Documentation: Carry DXM in its original dispensing packaging with the leaflet and, if it was dispensed to you, the prescription, and confirm the position with the State Institute for Drug Control before you travel. That is the carriage answer, and it is worth keeping the packaging precisely because the exclusion is what distinguishes this from a scheduled opioid. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for DXM appears in what was read. Provenance follows. The exclusion clause was read in Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 on Slov-Lex, the official legal information portal, on 18 September 2026, in the consolidation effective 1 January 2026.

Ephedrine

Legal status: Ephedrine is not listed in the Slovak narcotic and psychotropic schedule. Act No. 139/1998 carries one closed operative schedule at Annex 1, divided into Groups I, II and III, and no matching listed substance was found for ephedrine. The source records the aliases searched: efedrín; ephedrine, run through every group of Annex 1, its extension clauses and its final line. A no-hit on an English spelling would not have been enough, because the schedule uses Slovak names, chemical formulas, brand-neutral synonyms, plant entries and member-by-member lists. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups. The Criminal Code, No. 300/2005, decides the amount category through sections 135c to 135f and supplies the offences at sections 171 to 173. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidation of Act No. 139/1998 read was effective 1 January 2026 and incorporates amendment No. 293/2025; the Criminal Code consolidation read was effective 18 August 2026 and incorporates amendments through No. 168/2026. 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. Slovakia has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, under Criminal Code section 173(5), and that is the one point on which this row has to be read carefully: the life ceiling is not assigned to ephedrine, because sections 171 to 173 attach to the substances in Act No. 139/1998 Annex 1 and ephedrine is not one of them. No controlled-substance threshold is given for it either, for the same reason. If a listed constituent is proved in a given material, that constituent is assessed separately and carries its own exposure. That is not a statement that ephedrine is unregulated in Slovakia; it is a statement that the drug offence scale is not the instrument that reaches it, and this row did not audit whichever regime does.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled drug prescription question for ephedrine in Slovakia, because Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 does not carry it. Whether ephedrine is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Slovak medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit; the source states in terms that it is a schedule and penalty verification and not advice about licensing, medicines, precursors, food or tobacco. The State Institute for Drug Control is the body that answers it. Treat the supply route for ephedrine as unread rather than as open.
Documentation: Carry ephedrine as the Slovak medicines and pharmacy regime allows and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance that is off the schedule is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for ephedrine and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for ephedrine appears in what was read here. Provenance follows. Act No. 139/1998 and Criminal Code No. 300/2005 were read on Slov-Lex, the official legal information portal, on 18 September 2026, and every annex was carried to its end: Act 139 Annex 1 ends with zolpidem followed by the salts clause, and Criminal Code Annex 1 ends with the lysergide row.

Etizolam

Legal status: Etizolam is controlled in Slovakia. Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 names etizolam. The entry relied on reads «Etizolam, chemicky 4-(2-Chlórfenyl)-2-etyl-9-metyl-6H-tieno[3,2-f][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]diazepín», and the source states that its Slovak spelling, synonym and printed chemistry were checked together rather than matched on an English name alone. The entry sits in Group III of Annex 1, among the psychotropic substances. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups. The Criminal Code, No. 300/2005, decides the amount category through sections 135c to 135f and supplies the offences at sections 171 to 173. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidation of Act No. 139/1998 read was effective 1 January 2026 and incorporates amendment No. 293/2025; the Criminal Code consolidation read was effective 18 August 2026 and incorporates amendments through No. 168/2026.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Slovakia has no death penalty, but it is the one country in this set whose drug ceiling is life imprisonment rather than a fixed term: Criminal Code section 173(5) reaches 10 to 25 years or life for unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, and it applies to etizolam. The scale runs from one year to life. Section 171 covers unauthorised possession: one year for a negligible amount of cannabis or tetrahydrocannabinol, two years for another drug in a negligible amount, three years for a small amount, and six years in the aggravated form. Section 172 covers cultivation and reaches fifteen years at subsection (7). Section 173 covers unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, reaching 8 to 20 years at subsection (4) and 10 to 25 years or life imprisonment at subsection (5). Criminal Code Annex 1 prints no figure for this substance, so section 135c(2) supplies the statutory residual: a negligible amount is at most one gram of material containing the active substance. That one gram is a default that applies to every controlled drug absent from the printed table, and it is not a measurement of this substance. Section 135d then scales everything from the negligible amount by fixed multiples: five for a small amount, 250 for a larger one, 1,500 for a substantial one and 5,000 for a large one, with anything above 5,000 classed as extraordinarily large.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for etizolam is a question this row does not answer, and the source says why: it is a schedule and penalty verification, not advice about licensing, medicines, precursors, food, tobacco or other regulatory regimes. What is established is the control status under Act No. 139/1998 and the amount category under the Criminal Code. Annex 2 to the Act is the exempt preparations list and is a separate question again. The State Institute for Drug Control is the body that states the prescribing and dispensing conditions for etizolam. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for etizolam, and get the State Institute for Drug Control 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 etizolam 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. Act No. 139/1998 and Criminal Code No. 300/2005 were read on Slov-Lex, the official legal information portal, on 18 September 2026, in the consolidations effective 1 January 2026 and 18 August 2026.

Fentanyl

Legal status: Fentanyl is controlled in Slovakia. Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 names fentanyl. The entry relied on reads «Fentanyl, chemicky N-fenyl-N-(1-fenetyl-4-piperidyl)propánamid», and the source states that its Slovak spelling, synonym and printed chemistry were checked together rather than matched on an English name alone. The entry sits in Group II of Annex 1, among the narcotic substances. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups. The Criminal Code, No. 300/2005, decides the amount category through sections 135c to 135f and supplies the offences at sections 171 to 173. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026.

Section 173 covers unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, reaching 8 to 20 years at subsection (4) and 10 to 25 years or life imprisonment at subsection (5). Criminal Code Annex 1 prints a negligible amount for this substance: “0,5 g” material and “3 mg” active substance as free base, Criminal Code Annex 1 and § 135c(1). That is a substance-specific figure, not the statutory residual. Section 135d then scales everything from the negligible amount by fixed multiples: five for a small amount, 250 for a larger one, 1,500 for a substantial one and 5,000 for a large one, with anything above 5,000 classed as extraordinarily large.

Gabapentin

Legal status: Gabapentin is not listed in the Slovak narcotic and psychotropic schedule. Act No. 139/1998 carries one closed operative schedule at Annex 1, divided into Groups I, II and III, and no matching listed substance was found for gabapentin. The source records the aliases searched: gabapentín; gabapentin, run through every group of Annex 1, its extension clauses and its final line.

Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Slovakia has no death penalty.

If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled drug prescription question for gabapentin in Slovakia, because Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 does not carry it. Whether gabapentin is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Slovak medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit; the source states in terms that it is a schedule and penalty verification and not advice about licensing, medicines, precursors, food or tobacco. The State Institute for Drug Control is the body that answers it. Treat the supply route for gabapentin as unread rather than as open.
Documentation: Carry gabapentin as the Slovak medicines and pharmacy regime allows and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance that is off the schedule 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. Act No. 139/1998 and Criminal Code No. 300/2005 were read on Slov-Lex, the official legal information portal, on 18 September 2026, and every annex was carried to its end: Act 139 Annex 1 ends with zolpidem followed by the salts clause, and Criminal Code Annex 1 ends with the lysergide row.

GBL

Legal status: GBL is controlled in Slovakia. Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 names GBL. The entry relied on reads «GBL, chemicky dihydrofurán-2(3H)-ón», and the source states that its Slovak spelling, synonym and printed chemistry were checked together rather than matched on an English name alone. The entry sits in Group III of Annex 1, among the psychotropic substances. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups. The Criminal Code, No. 300/2005, decides the amount category through sections 135c to 135f and supplies the offences at sections 171 to 173. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidation of Act No. 139/1998 read was effective 1 January 2026 and incorporates amendment No. 293/2025; the Criminal Code consolidation read was effective 18 August 2026 and incorporates amendments through No. 168/2026.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Slovakia has no death penalty, but it is the one country in this set whose drug ceiling is life imprisonment rather than a fixed term: Criminal Code section 173(5) reaches 10 to 25 years or life for unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, and it applies to GBL. The scale runs from one year to life. Section 171 covers unauthorised possession: one year for a negligible amount of cannabis or tetrahydrocannabinol, two years for another drug in a negligible amount, three years for a small amount, and six years in the aggravated form. Section 172 covers cultivation and reaches fifteen years at subsection (7). Section 173 covers unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, reaching 8 to 20 years at subsection (4) and 10 to 25 years or life imprisonment at subsection (5). Criminal Code Annex 1 prints no figure for this substance, so section 135c(2) supplies the statutory residual: a negligible amount is at most one gram of material containing the active substance. That one gram is a default that applies to every controlled drug absent from the printed table, and it is not a measurement of this substance. Section 135d then scales everything from the negligible amount by fixed multiples: five for a small amount, 250 for a larger one, 1,500 for a substantial one and 5,000 for a large one, with anything above 5,000 classed as extraordinarily large.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for GBL is a question this row does not answer, and the source says why: it is a schedule and penalty verification, not advice about licensing, medicines, precursors, food, tobacco or other regulatory regimes. What is established is the control status under Act No. 139/1998 and the amount category under the Criminal Code. Annex 2 to the Act is the exempt preparations list and is a separate question again. The State Institute for Drug Control is the body that states the prescribing and dispensing conditions for GBL. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for GBL, and get the State Institute for Drug Control 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 GBL 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. Act No. 139/1998 and Criminal Code No. 300/2005 were read on Slov-Lex, the official legal information portal, on 18 September 2026, in the consolidations effective 1 January 2026 and 18 August 2026.

Heroin

Legal status: Heroin is controlled in Slovakia. Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 names heroin.

Khat

Legal status: Khat is controlled in Slovakia. Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 does not name khat as such. The entry relied on reads «Katinón, chemicky (-)-2-aminopropiofenón», which is a constituent, so the result turns on proving that constituent in the material. The source is careful that this does not erase the natural-mixture exclusion at section 2(4)(a) of the Act, which is a separate question from whether the constituent is listed. The entry sits in Group I of Annex 1, among the psychotropic substances. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups. The Criminal Code, No. 300/2005, decides the amount category through sections 135c to 135f and supplies the offences at sections 171 to 173. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidation of Act No. 139/1998 read was effective 1 January 2026 and incorporates amendment No. 293/2025; the Criminal Code consolidation read was effective 18 August 2026 and incorporates amendments through No. 168/2026.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Slovakia has no death penalty, but it is the one country in this set whose drug ceiling is life imprisonment rather than a fixed term: Criminal Code section 173(5) reaches 10 to 25 years or life for unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, and it applies to khat. The scale runs from one year to life. Section 171 covers unauthorised possession: one year for a negligible amount of cannabis or tetrahydrocannabinol, two years for another drug in a negligible amount, three years for a small amount, and six years in the aggravated form. Section 172 covers cultivation and reaches fifteen years at subsection (7). Section 173 covers unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, reaching 8 to 20 years at subsection (4) and 10 to 25 years or life imprisonment at subsection (5). Neither the printed table nor the statutory residual gives a figure for this row as the source reads it, so the amount has to be taken from the identified member or constituent. Section 135d then scales everything from the negligible amount by fixed multiples: five for a small amount, 250 for a larger one, 1,500 for a substantial one and 5,000 for a large one, with anything above 5,000 classed as extraordinarily large.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for khat is a question this row does not answer, and the source says why: it is a schedule and penalty verification, not advice about licensing, medicines, precursors, food, tobacco or other regulatory regimes. What is established is the control status under Act No. 139/1998 and the amount category under the Criminal Code. Annex 2 to the Act is the exempt preparations list and is a separate question again. The State Institute for Drug Control is the body that states the prescribing and dispensing conditions for khat. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for khat, and get the State Institute for Drug Control 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 khat 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. Act No. 139/1998 and Criminal Code No. 300/2005 were read on Slov-Lex, the official legal information portal, on 18 September 2026, in the consolidations effective 1 January 2026 and 18 August 2026. The basis recorded for this row is a proved constituent, subject to the natural-mixture exclusion at section 2(4)(a).

Kratom

Legal status: Kratom is controlled in Slovakia. Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 names kratom. The entry relied on reads «Kratom (mitragyna speciosa)», and the source states that its Slovak spelling, synonym and printed chemistry were checked together rather than matched on an English name alone. The entry sits in Group I of Annex 1, among the psychotropic substances. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups.

Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Slovakia has no death penalty, but it is the one country in this set whose drug ceiling is life imprisonment rather than a fixed term: Criminal Code section 173(5) reaches 10 to 25 years or life for unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, and it applies to kratom. The scale runs from one year to life. Section 171 covers unauthorised possession: one year for a negligible amount of cannabis or tetrahydrocannabinol, two years for another drug in a negligible amount, three years for a small amount, and six years in the aggravated form. Section 172 covers cultivation and reaches fifteen years at subsection (7). Section 173 covers unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, reaching 8 to 20 years at subsection (4) and 10 to 25 years or life imprisonment at subsection (5). Criminal Code Annex 1 prints no figure for this substance, so section 135c(2) supplies the statutory residual: a negligible amount is at most one gram of material containing the active substance. That one gram is a default that applies to every controlled drug absent from the printed table, and it is not a measurement of this substance. Section 135d then scales everything from the negligible amount by fixed multiples: five for a small amount, 250 for a larger one, 1,500 for a substantial one and 5,000 for a large one, with anything above 5,000 classed as extraordinarily large.

Lorazepam

Legal status: Lorazepam is controlled in Slovakia. Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 names lorazepam. The entry relied on reads «Lorazepam, chemicky 3-hydroxy-7-chlór-5-(2-chlórfenyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[f]1,4-diazepín-2-ón», and the source states that its Slovak spelling, synonym and printed chemistry were checked together rather than matched on an English name alone. The entry sits in Group III of Annex 1, among the psychotropic substances. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups.

LSA (Morning Glory)

Legal status: LSA is not listed in the Slovak narcotic and psychotropic schedule. Act No. 139/1998 carries one closed operative schedule at Annex 1, divided into Groups I, II and III, and no matching listed substance was found for LSA. The source records the aliases searched: ergín; LSA; lysergic acid amide, run through every group of Annex 1, its extension clauses and its final line. A no-hit on an English spelling would not have been enough, because the schedule uses Slovak names, chemical formulas, brand-neutral synonyms, plant entries and member-by-member lists. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups. The Criminal Code, No. 300/2005, decides the amount category through sections 135c to 135f and supplies the offences at sections 171 to 173. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidation of Act No. 139/1998 read was effective 1 January 2026 and incorporates amendment No. 293/2025; the Criminal Code consolidation read was effective 18 August 2026 and incorporates amendments through No. 168/2026. 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. Slovakia has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, under Criminal Code section 173(5), and that is the one point on which this row has to be read carefully: the life ceiling is not assigned to LSA, because sections 171 to 173 attach to the substances in Act No. 139/1998 Annex 1 and LSA is not one of them. No controlled-substance threshold is given for it either, for the same reason. If a listed constituent is proved in a given material, that constituent is assessed separately and carries its own exposure. That is not a statement that LSA is unregulated in Slovakia; it is a statement that the drug offence scale is not the instrument that reaches it, and this row did not audit whichever regime does.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled drug prescription question for LSA in Slovakia, because Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 does not carry it. Whether LSA is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Slovak medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit; the source states in terms that it is a schedule and penalty verification and not advice about licensing, medicines, precursors, food or tobacco. The State Institute for Drug Control is the body that answers it. Treat the supply route for LSA as unread rather than as open.
Documentation: Carry LSA as the Slovak medicines and pharmacy regime allows and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance that is off the schedule is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for LSA and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for LSA appears in what was read here. Provenance follows. Act No. 139/1998 and Criminal Code No. 300/2005 were read on Slov-Lex, the official legal information portal, on 18 September 2026, and every annex was carried to its end: Act 139 Annex 1 ends with zolpidem followed by the salts clause, and Criminal Code Annex 1 ends with the lysergide row.

LSD

Legal status: LSD is controlled in Slovakia. Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 names LSD.

The entry sits in Group I of Annex 1, among the psychotropic substances. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups.

Section 172 covers cultivation and reaches fifteen years at subsection (7). Section 173 covers unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, reaching 8 to 20 years at subsection (4) and 10 to 25 years or life imprisonment at subsection (5). Criminal Code Annex 1 prints a negligible amount for this substance: “3 papieriky alebo 3 tobolky... That is a substance-specific figure, not the statutory residual. Section 135d then scales everything from the negligible amount by fixed multiples: five for a small amount, 250 for a larger one, 1,500 for a substantial one and 5,000 for a large one, with anything above 5,000 classed as extraordinarily large.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for LSD is a question this row does not answer, and the source says why: it is a schedule and penalty verification, not advice about licensing, medicines, precursors, food, tobacco or other regulatory regimes.

Criminal Code Annex 1 prints a negligible amount for this substance: “0,8 g alebo 3 tablety” and “300 mg” active substance as free base, Criminal Code Annex 1 and § 135c(1). That is a substance-specific figure, not the statutory residual. Section 135d then scales everything from the negligible amount by fixed multiples: five for a small amount, 250 for a larger one, 1,500 for a substantial one and 5,000 for a large one, with anything above 5,000 classed as extraordinarily large.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for MDMA is a question this row does not answer, and the source says why: it is a schedule and penalty verification, not advice about licensing, medicines, precursors, food, tobacco or other regulatory regimes. What is established is the control status under Act No. 139/1998 and the amount category under the Criminal Code. Annex 2 to the Act is the exempt preparations list and is a separate question again. The State Institute for Drug Control is the body that states the prescribing and dispensing conditions for MDMA. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for MDMA, and get the State Institute for Drug Control 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.

MDPV

Legal status: MDPV is controlled in Slovakia. Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 names MDPV. The entry relied on reads «Metyléndioxypyrovalerón, MDPV, chemicky (RS)-1-(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-2-(pyrolidín-1-yl)pentán-1-ón», and the source states that its Slovak spelling, synonym and printed chemistry were checked together rather than matched on an English name alone. The entry sits in Group I of Annex 1, among the psychotropic substances. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups. The Criminal Code, No. 300/2005, decides the amount category through sections 135c to 135f and supplies the offences at sections 171 to 173. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidation of Act No. 139/1998 read was effective 1 January 2026 and incorporates amendment No. 293/2025; the Criminal Code consolidation read was effective 18 August 2026 and incorporates amendments through No. 168/2026.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Slovakia has no death penalty, but it is the one country in this set whose drug ceiling is life imprisonment rather than a fixed term: Criminal Code section 173(5) reaches 10 to 25 years or life for unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, and it applies to MDPV. The scale runs from one year to life. Section 171 covers unauthorised possession: one year for a negligible amount of cannabis or tetrahydrocannabinol, two years for another drug in a negligible amount, three years for a small amount, and six years in the aggravated form. Section 172 covers cultivation and reaches fifteen years at subsection (7). Section 173 covers unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, reaching 8 to 20 years at subsection (4) and 10 to 25 years or life imprisonment at subsection (5). Criminal Code Annex 1 prints no figure for this substance, so section 135c(2) supplies the statutory residual: a negligible amount is at most one gram of material containing the active substance. That one gram is a default that applies to every controlled drug absent from the printed table, and it is not a measurement of this substance. Section 135d then scales everything from the negligible amount by fixed multiples: five for a small amount, 250 for a larger one, 1,500 for a substantial one and 5,000 for a large one, with anything above 5,000 classed as extraordinarily large.

Memantine

Legal status: Memantine is not listed in the Slovak narcotic and psychotropic schedule. Act No. 139/1998 carries one closed operative schedule at Annex 1, divided into Groups I, II and III, and no matching listed substance was found for memantine. The source records the aliases searched: memantín; memantine, run through every group of Annex 1, its extension clauses and its final line. A no-hit on an English spelling would not have been enough, because the schedule uses Slovak names, chemical formulas, brand-neutral synonyms, plant entries and member-by-member lists. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups. The Criminal Code, No. 300/2005, decides the amount category through sections 135c to 135f and supplies the offences at sections 171 to 173. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidation of Act No. 139/1998 read was effective 1 January 2026 and incorporates amendment No. 293/2025; the Criminal Code consolidation read was effective 18 August 2026 and incorporates amendments through No. 168/2026. 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. Slovakia has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, under Criminal Code section 173(5), and that is the one point on which this row has to be read carefully: the life ceiling is not assigned to memantine, because sections 171 to 173 attach to the substances in Act No. 139/1998 Annex 1 and memantine is not one of them. No controlled-substance threshold is given for it either, for the same reason. If a listed constituent is proved in a given material, that constituent is assessed separately and carries its own exposure. That is not a statement that memantine is unregulated in Slovakia; it is a statement that the drug offence scale is not the instrument that reaches it, and this row did not audit whichever regime does.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled drug prescription question for memantine in Slovakia, because Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 does not carry it. Whether memantine is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Slovak medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit; the source states in terms that it is a schedule and penalty verification and not advice about licensing, medicines, precursors, food or tobacco. The State Institute for Drug Control is the body that answers it. Treat the supply route for memantine as unread rather than as open.
Documentation: Carry memantine as the Slovak medicines and pharmacy regime allows and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance that is off the schedule 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. Act No. 139/1998 and Criminal Code No. 300/2005 were read on Slov-Lex, the official legal information portal, on 18 September 2026, and every annex was carried to its end: Act 139 Annex 1 ends with zolpidem followed by the salts clause, and Criminal Code Annex 1 ends with the lysergide row.

Mephedrone (4-MMC)

Legal status: Mephedrone is controlled in Slovakia. Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 names mephedrone. The entry relied on reads «Mefedrón, 4-MMC, chemicky 2-(metylamino)-1-(4-metylfenyl)-1-propanón», and the source states that its Slovak spelling, synonym and printed chemistry were checked together rather than matched on an English name alone.

Methaqualone (Quaaludes)

Legal status: Methaqualone is controlled in Slovakia. Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 names methaqualone. The entry relied on reads «Metakvalón, chemicky 2-metyl-3-(2-tolyl)-3,4-dihydrochinazolín-4-ón», and the source states that its Slovak spelling, synonym and printed chemistry were checked together rather than matched on an English name alone. The entry sits in Group II of Annex 1, among the psychotropic substances. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups. The Criminal Code, No. 300/2005, decides the amount category through sections 135c to 135f and supplies the offences at sections 171 to 173. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidation of Act No. 139/1998 read was effective 1 January 2026 and incorporates amendment No. 293/2025; the Criminal Code consolidation read was effective 18 August 2026 and incorporates amendments through No. 168/2026.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Slovakia has no death penalty, but it is the one country in this set whose drug ceiling is life imprisonment rather than a fixed term: Criminal Code section 173(5) reaches 10 to 25 years or life for unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, and it applies to methaqualone. The scale runs from one year to life. Section 171 covers unauthorised possession: one year for a negligible amount of cannabis or tetrahydrocannabinol, two years for another drug in a negligible amount, three years for a small amount, and six years in the aggravated form. Section 172 covers cultivation and reaches fifteen years at subsection (7). Section 173 covers unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, reaching 8 to 20 years at subsection (4) and 10 to 25 years or life imprisonment at subsection (5). Criminal Code Annex 1 prints no figure for this substance, so section 135c(2) supplies the statutory residual: a negligible amount is at most one gram of material containing the active substance. That one gram is a default that applies to every controlled drug absent from the printed table, and it is not a measurement of this substance. Section 135d then scales everything from the negligible amount by fixed multiples: five for a small amount, 250 for a larger one, 1,500 for a substantial one and 5,000 for a large one, with anything above 5,000 classed as extraordinarily large.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for methaqualone is a question this row does not answer, and the source says why: it is a schedule and penalty verification, not advice about licensing, medicines, precursors, food, tobacco or other regulatory regimes. What is established is the control status under Act No. 139/1998 and the amount category under the Criminal Code. Annex 2 to the Act is the exempt preparations list and is a separate question again. The State Institute for Drug Control is the body that states the prescribing and dispensing conditions for methaqualone. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for methaqualone, and get the State Institute for Drug Control 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.

Legal status: Methylphenidate is controlled in Slovakia. Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 names methylphenidate.

Mitragynine

Legal status: Mitragynine is not listed in the Slovak narcotic and psychotropic schedule. Act No. 139/1998 carries one closed operative schedule at Annex 1, divided into Groups I, II and III, and no matching listed substance was found for mitragynine. The source records the aliases searched: mitragynín; mitragynine, run through every group of Annex 1, its extension clauses and its final line. A no-hit on an English spelling would not have been enough, because the schedule uses Slovak names, chemical formulas, brand-neutral synonyms, plant entries and member-by-member lists. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups. The Criminal Code, No. 300/2005, decides the amount category through sections 135c to 135f and supplies the offences at sections 171 to 173. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidation of Act No. 139/1998 read was effective 1 January 2026 and incorporates amendment No. 293/2025; the Criminal Code consolidation read was effective 18 August 2026 and incorporates amendments through No. 168/2026. 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. Slovakia has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, under Criminal Code section 173(5), and that is the one point on which this row has to be read carefully: the life ceiling is not assigned to mitragynine, because sections 171 to 173 attach to the substances in Act No. 139/1998 Annex 1 and mitragynine is not one of them. No controlled-substance threshold is given for it either, for the same reason. If a listed constituent is proved in a given material, that constituent is assessed separately and carries its own exposure. That is not a statement that mitragynine is unregulated in Slovakia; it is a statement that the drug offence scale is not the instrument that reaches it, and this row did not audit whichever regime does.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled drug prescription question for mitragynine in Slovakia, because Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 does not carry it. Whether mitragynine is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Slovak medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit; the source states in terms that it is a schedule and penalty verification and not advice about licensing, medicines, precursors, food or tobacco. The State Institute for Drug Control is the body that answers it. Treat the supply route for mitragynine as unread rather than as open.
Documentation: Carry mitragynine as the Slovak medicines and pharmacy regime allows and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance that is off the schedule is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for mitragynine and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for mitragynine appears in what was read here. Provenance follows. Act No. 139/1998 and Criminal Code No. 300/2005 were read on Slov-Lex, the official legal information portal, on 18 September 2026, and every annex was carried to its end: Act 139 Annex 1 ends with zolpidem followed by the salts clause, and Criminal Code Annex 1 ends with the lysergide row.

Modafinil

Legal status: Modafinil is not listed in the Slovak narcotic and psychotropic schedule. Act No. 139/1998 carries one closed operative schedule at Annex 1, divided into Groups I, II and III, and no matching listed substance was found for modafinil. The source records the aliases searched: modafinil; modafinilum, run through every group of Annex 1, its extension clauses and its final line.

Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Slovakia has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, under Criminal Code section 173(5), and that is the one point on which this row has to be read carefully: the life ceiling is not assigned to modafinil, because sections 171 to 173 attach to the substances in Act No. 139/1998 Annex 1 and modafinil is not one of them.

Morphine

Legal status: Morphine is controlled in Slovakia. Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 names morphine. The entry relied on reads «Morfín, chemicky N-metyl-4,5-epoxy-7,8-didehydromorfinán-3,6-diol», and the source states that its Slovak spelling, synonym and printed chemistry were checked together rather than matched on an English name alone. The entry sits in Group II of Annex 1, among the narcotic substances. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups.

Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Slovakia has no death penalty, but it is the one country in this set whose drug ceiling is life imprisonment rather than a fixed term: Criminal Code section 173(5) reaches 10 to 25 years or life for unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, and it applies to morphine. The scale runs from one year to life. Section 171 covers unauthorised possession: one year for a negligible amount of cannabis or tetrahydrocannabinol, two years for another drug in a negligible amount, three years for a small amount, and six years in the aggravated form. Section 172 covers cultivation and reaches fifteen years at subsection (7). Section 173 covers unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, reaching 8 to 20 years at subsection (4) and 10 to 25 years or life imprisonment at subsection (5). Criminal Code Annex 1 prints no figure for this substance, so section 135c(2) supplies the statutory residual: a negligible amount is at most one gram of material containing the active substance. That one gram is a default that applies to every controlled drug absent from the printed table, and it is not a measurement of this substance. Section 135d then scales everything from the negligible amount by fixed multiples: five for a small amount, 250 for a larger one, 1,500 for a substantial one and 5,000 for a large one, with anything above 5,000 classed as extraordinarily large.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for morphine is a question this row does not answer, and the source says why: it is a schedule and penalty verification, not advice about licensing, medicines, precursors, food, tobacco or other regulatory regimes.

Section 173 covers unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, reaching 8 to 20 years at subsection (4) and 10 to 25 years or life imprisonment at subsection (5). Criminal Code Annex 1 prints no figure for this substance, so section 135c(2) supplies the statutory residual: a negligible amount is at most one gram of material containing the active substance. That one gram is a default that applies to every controlled drug absent from the printed table, and it is not a measurement of this substance. Section 135d then scales everything from the negligible amount by fixed multiples: five for a small amount, 250 for a larger one, 1,500 for a substantial one and 5,000 for a large one, with anything above 5,000 classed as extraordinarily large.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for MXE is a question this row does not answer, and the source says why: it is a schedule and penalty verification, not advice about licensing, medicines, precursors, food, tobacco or other regulatory regimes. What is established is the control status under Act No. 139/1998 and the amount category under the Criminal Code. Annex 2 to the Act is the exempt preparations list and is a separate question again. The State Institute for Drug Control is the body that states the prescribing and dispensing conditions for MXE. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for MXE, and get the State Institute for Drug Control 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 MXE 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. Act No. 139/1998 and Criminal Code No. 300/2005 were read on Slov-Lex, the official legal information portal, on 18 September 2026, in the consolidations effective 1 January 2026 and 18 August 2026.

Nicotine

Legal status: Nicotine is not listed in the Slovak narcotic and psychotropic schedule. Act No. 139/1998 carries one closed operative schedule at Annex 1, divided into Groups I, II and III, and no matching listed substance was found for nicotine. The source records the aliases searched: nikotín; nicotine, run through every group of Annex 1, its extension clauses and its final line. A no-hit on an English spelling would not have been enough, because the schedule uses Slovak names, chemical formulas, brand-neutral synonyms, plant entries and member-by-member lists. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups. The Criminal Code, No. 300/2005, decides the amount category through sections 135c to 135f and supplies the offences at sections 171 to 173. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidation of Act No. 139/1998 read was effective 1 January 2026 and incorporates amendment No. 293/2025; the Criminal Code consolidation read was effective 18 August 2026 and incorporates amendments through No. 168/2026. 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. Slovakia has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, under Criminal Code section 173(5), and that is the one point on which this row has to be read carefully: the life ceiling is not assigned to nicotine, because sections 171 to 173 attach to the substances in Act No. 139/1998 Annex 1 and nicotine is not one of them. No controlled-substance threshold is given for it either, for the same reason. If a listed constituent is proved in a given material, that constituent is assessed separately and carries its own exposure. That is not a statement that nicotine is unregulated in Slovakia; it is a statement that the drug offence scale is not the instrument that reaches it, and this row did not audit whichever regime does.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled drug prescription question for nicotine in Slovakia, because Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 does not carry it. Whether nicotine is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Slovak medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit; the source states in terms that it is a schedule and penalty verification and not advice about licensing, medicines, precursors, food or tobacco. The State Institute for Drug Control is the body that answers it. Treat the supply route for nicotine as unread rather than as open.
Documentation: Carry nicotine as the Slovak medicines and pharmacy regime allows and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance that is off the schedule is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for nicotine and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for nicotine appears in what was read here. Provenance follows. Act No. 139/1998 and Criminal Code No. 300/2005 were read on Slov-Lex, the official legal information portal, on 18 September 2026, and every annex was carried to its end: Act 139 Annex 1 ends with zolpidem followed by the salts clause, and Criminal Code Annex 1 ends with the lysergide row.

Nimetazepam

Legal status: Nimetazepam is controlled in Slovakia. Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 names nimetazepam. The entry relied on reads «Nimetazepam, chemicky 5-fenyl-1-metyl-7-nitro-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[f]1,4-diazepín-2-ón», and the source states that its Slovak spelling, synonym and printed chemistry were checked together rather than matched on an English name alone. The entry sits in Group III of Annex 1, among the psychotropic substances. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups. The Criminal Code, No. 300/2005, decides the amount category through sections 135c to 135f and supplies the offences at sections 171 to 173. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidation of Act No. 139/1998 read was effective 1 January 2026 and incorporates amendment No. 293/2025; the Criminal Code consolidation read was effective 18 August 2026 and incorporates amendments through No. 168/2026.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Slovakia has no death penalty, but it is the one country in this set whose drug ceiling is life imprisonment rather than a fixed term: Criminal Code section 173(5) reaches 10 to 25 years or life for unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, and it applies to nimetazepam. The scale runs from one year to life. Section 171 covers unauthorised possession: one year for a negligible amount of cannabis or tetrahydrocannabinol, two years for another drug in a negligible amount, three years for a small amount, and six years in the aggravated form. Section 172 covers cultivation and reaches fifteen years at subsection (7). Section 173 covers unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, reaching 8 to 20 years at subsection (4) and 10 to 25 years or life imprisonment at subsection (5). Criminal Code Annex 1 prints no figure for this substance, so section 135c(2) supplies the statutory residual: a negligible amount is at most one gram of material containing the active substance. That one gram is a default that applies to every controlled drug absent from the printed table, and it is not a measurement of this substance. Section 135d then scales everything from the negligible amount by fixed multiples: five for a small amount, 250 for a larger one, 1,500 for a substantial one and 5,000 for a large one, with anything above 5,000 classed as extraordinarily large.

Nitrous Oxide

Legal status: Nitrous oxide is not listed in the Slovak narcotic and psychotropic schedule. Act No. 139/1998 carries one closed operative schedule at Annex 1, divided into Groups I, II and III, and no matching listed substance was found for nitrous oxide. The source records the aliases searched: oxid dusný; nitrous oxide; N2O, run through every group of Annex 1, its extension clauses and its final line. A no-hit on an English spelling would not have been enough, because the schedule uses Slovak names, chemical formulas, brand-neutral synonyms, plant entries and member-by-member lists.

Opium

Legal status: Opium is controlled in Slovakia. Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 names opium. The entry relied on reads «Ópium», and the source states that its Slovak spelling, synonym and printed chemistry were checked together rather than matched on an English name alone. The entry sits in Group II of Annex 1, among the narcotic substances. Two statutes divide the work.

Peyote

Legal status: Peyote is controlled in Slovakia. Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 does not name peyote as such. The entry relied on reads «Mezkalín, chemicky 2-(3,4,5-trimetoxyfenyl)etylamín», which is a constituent, so the result turns on proving that constituent in the material. The source is careful that this does not erase the natural-mixture exclusion at section 2(4)(a) of the Act, which is a separate question from whether the constituent is listed. The entry sits in Group I of Annex 1, among the psychotropic substances. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups. The Criminal Code, No. 300/2005, decides the amount category through sections 135c to 135f and supplies the offences at sections 171 to 173. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidation of Act No. 139/1998 read was effective 1 January 2026 and incorporates amendment No. 293/2025; the Criminal Code consolidation read was effective 18 August 2026 and incorporates amendments through No. 168/2026.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Slovakia has no death penalty, but it is the one country in this set whose drug ceiling is life imprisonment rather than a fixed term: Criminal Code section 173(5) reaches 10 to 25 years or life for unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, and it applies to peyote. The scale runs from one year to life. Section 171 covers unauthorised possession: one year for a negligible amount of cannabis or tetrahydrocannabinol, two years for another drug in a negligible amount, three years for a small amount, and six years in the aggravated form. Section 172 covers cultivation and reaches fifteen years at subsection (7). Section 173 covers unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, reaching 8 to 20 years at subsection (4) and 10 to 25 years or life imprisonment at subsection (5). Neither the printed table nor the statutory residual gives a figure for this row as the source reads it, so the amount has to be taken from the identified member or constituent. Section 135d then scales everything from the negligible amount by fixed multiples: five for a small amount, 250 for a larger one, 1,500 for a substantial one and 5,000 for a large one, with anything above 5,000 classed as extraordinarily large.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for peyote is a question this row does not answer, and the source says why: it is a schedule and penalty verification, not advice about licensing, medicines, precursors, food, tobacco or other regulatory regimes. What is established is the control status under Act No. 139/1998 and the amount category under the Criminal Code. Annex 2 to the Act is the exempt preparations list and is a separate question again. The State Institute for Drug Control is the body that states the prescribing and dispensing conditions for peyote. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for peyote, and get the State Institute for Drug Control 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 peyote 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. Act No. 139/1998 and Criminal Code No. 300/2005 were read on Slov-Lex, the official legal information portal, on 18 September 2026, in the consolidations effective 1 January 2026 and 18 August 2026.

Phenibut

Legal status: Phenibut is controlled in Slovakia. Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 names phenibut. The entry relied on reads «Fenibut, chemicky 4-amino-3-fenylmaslová kyselina», and the source states that its Slovak spelling, synonym and printed chemistry were checked together rather than matched on an English name alone. The entry sits in Group II of Annex 1, among the narcotic substances. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups. The Criminal Code, No. 300/2005, decides the amount category through sections 135c to 135f and supplies the offences at sections 171 to 173. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026.

Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Slovakia has no death penalty, but it is the one country in this set whose drug ceiling is life imprisonment rather than a fixed term: Criminal Code section 173(5) reaches 10 to 25 years or life for unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, and it applies to phenibut. The scale runs from one year to life. Section 171 covers unauthorised possession: one year for a negligible amount of cannabis or tetrahydrocannabinol, two years for another drug in a negligible amount, three years for a small amount, and six years in the aggravated form. Section 172 covers cultivation and reaches fifteen years at subsection (7). Section 173 covers unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, reaching 8 to 20 years at subsection (4) and 10 to 25 years or life imprisonment at subsection (5). Criminal Code Annex 1 prints no figure for this substance, so section 135c(2) supplies the statutory residual: a negligible amount is at most one gram of material containing the active substance. That one gram is a default that applies to every controlled drug absent from the printed table, and it is not a measurement of this substance. Section 135d then scales everything from the negligible amount by fixed multiples: five for a small amount, 250 for a larger one, 1,500 for a substantial one and 5,000 for a large one, with anything above 5,000 classed as extraordinarily large.

Pink Cocaine / Tusi

Legal status: Pink cocaine is controlled in Slovakia. Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 does not name pink cocaine as such. The entry relied on reads «obchoduje s omamnou látkou alebo psychotropnou látkou», which is a constituent, so the result turns on proving that constituent in the material. The source is careful that this does not erase the natural-mixture exclusion at section 2(4)(a) of the Act, which is a separate question from whether the constituent is listed. The source does not record which group carries the entry. Two statutes divide the work.

Poppers

Legal status: Poppers is not listed in the Slovak narcotic and psychotropic schedule. Act No. 139/1998 carries one closed operative schedule at Annex 1, divided into Groups I, II and III, and no matching listed substance was found for poppers. The source records the aliases searched: poppers; amylnitrit; izopropylnitrit, run through every group of Annex 1, its extension clauses and its final line. A no-hit on an English spelling would not have been enough, because the schedule uses Slovak names, chemical formulas, brand-neutral synonyms, plant entries and member-by-member lists. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups. The Criminal Code, No. 300/2005, decides the amount category through sections 135c to 135f and supplies the offences at sections 171 to 173. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidation of Act No. 139/1998 read was effective 1 January 2026 and incorporates amendment No. 293/2025; the Criminal Code consolidation read was effective 18 August 2026 and incorporates amendments through No. 168/2026. 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. Slovakia has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, under Criminal Code section 173(5), and that is the one point on which this row has to be read carefully: the life ceiling is not assigned to poppers, because sections 171 to 173 attach to the substances in Act No. 139/1998 Annex 1 and poppers is not one of them. No controlled-substance threshold is given for it either, for the same reason. If a listed constituent is proved in a given material, that constituent is assessed separately and carries its own exposure. That is not a statement that poppers is unregulated in Slovakia; it is a statement that the drug offence scale is not the instrument that reaches it, and this row did not audit whichever regime does.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled drug prescription question for poppers in Slovakia, because Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 does not carry it. Whether poppers is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Slovak medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit; the source states in terms that it is a schedule and penalty verification and not advice about licensing, medicines, precursors, food or tobacco. The State Institute for Drug Control is the body that answers it. Treat the supply route for poppers as unread rather than as open.
Documentation: Carry poppers as the Slovak medicines and pharmacy regime allows and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance that is off the schedule is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for poppers and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for poppers appears in what was read here. Provenance follows. Act No. 139/1998 and Criminal Code No. 300/2005 were read on Slov-Lex, the official legal information portal, on 18 September 2026, and every annex was carried to its end: Act 139 Annex 1 ends with zolpidem followed by the salts clause, and Criminal Code Annex 1 ends with the lysergide row.

Pregabalin

Legal status: Pregabalin is not listed in the Slovak narcotic and psychotropic schedule.

Psilocybin

Legal status: Psilocybin is controlled in Slovakia. Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 names psilocybin. The entry relied on reads «Psilocybín, chemicky 3-[2-(dimetylamino)etyl]-1H-indol-4-yl(dihydrogénfosfát)», and the source states that its Slovak spelling, synonym and printed chemistry were checked together rather than matched on an English name alone. The entry sits in Group I of Annex 1, among the psychotropic substances. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups. The Criminal Code, No. 300/2005, decides the amount category through sections 135c to 135f and supplies the offences at sections 171 to 173. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026.

Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Slovakia has no death penalty, but it is the one country in this set whose drug ceiling is life imprisonment rather than a fixed term: Criminal Code section 173(5) reaches 10 to 25 years or life for unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, and it applies to psilocybin. The scale runs from one year to life. Section 171 covers unauthorised possession: one year for a negligible amount of cannabis or tetrahydrocannabinol, two years for another drug in a negligible amount, three years for a small amount, and six years in the aggravated form. Section 172 covers cultivation and reaches fifteen years at subsection (7). Section 173 covers unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, reaching 8 to 20 years at subsection (4) and 10 to 25 years or life imprisonment at subsection (5). Criminal Code Annex 1 prints no figure for this substance, so section 135c(2) supplies the statutory residual: a negligible amount is at most one gram of material containing the active substance. That one gram is a default that applies to every controlled drug absent from the printed table, and it is not a measurement of this substance. Section 135d then scales everything from the negligible amount by fixed multiples: five for a small amount, 250 for a larger one, 1,500 for a substantial one and 5,000 for a large one, with anything above 5,000 classed as extraordinarily large.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for psilocybin is a question this row does not answer, and the source says why: it is a schedule and penalty verification, not advice about licensing, medicines, precursors, food, tobacco or other regulatory regimes. What is established is the control status under Act No. 139/1998 and the amount category under the Criminal Code. Annex 2 to the Act is the exempt preparations list and is a separate question again.

Quetiapine

Legal status: Quetiapine is not listed in the Slovak narcotic and psychotropic schedule. Act No. 139/1998 carries one closed operative schedule at Annex 1, divided into Groups I, II and III, and no matching listed substance was found for quetiapine. The source records the aliases searched: kvetiapín; quetiapine, run through every group of Annex 1, its extension clauses and its final line. A no-hit on an English spelling would not have been enough, because the schedule uses Slovak names, chemical formulas, brand-neutral synonyms, plant entries and member-by-member lists.

Salvia divinorum

Legal status: Salvia divinorum is controlled in Slovakia. Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 does not name Salvia divinorum as such. The entry relied on reads «Salvinorin A», which is a constituent, so the result turns on proving that constituent in the material. The source is careful that this does not erase the natural-mixture exclusion at section 2(4)(a) of the Act, which is a separate question from whether the constituent is listed. The entry sits in Group I of Annex 1, among the narcotic substances. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups. The Criminal Code, No. 300/2005, decides the amount category through sections 135c to 135f and supplies the offences at sections 171 to 173. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidation of Act No. 139/1998 read was effective 1 January 2026 and incorporates amendment No. 293/2025; the Criminal Code consolidation read was effective 18 August 2026 and incorporates amendments through No. 168/2026.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Slovakia has no death penalty, but it is the one country in this set whose drug ceiling is life imprisonment rather than a fixed term: Criminal Code section 173(5) reaches 10 to 25 years or life for unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, and it applies to Salvia divinorum. The scale runs from one year to life. Section 171 covers unauthorised possession: one year for a negligible amount of cannabis or tetrahydrocannabinol, two years for another drug in a negligible amount, three years for a small amount, and six years in the aggravated form. Section 172 covers cultivation and reaches fifteen years at subsection (7). Section 173 covers unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, reaching 8 to 20 years at subsection (4) and 10 to 25 years or life imprisonment at subsection (5). Neither the printed table nor the statutory residual gives a figure for this row as the source reads it, so the amount has to be taken from the identified member or constituent. Section 135d then scales everything from the negligible amount by fixed multiples: five for a small amount, 250 for a larger one, 1,500 for a substantial one and 5,000 for a large one, with anything above 5,000 classed as extraordinarily large.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for Salvia divinorum is a question this row does not answer, and the source says why: it is a schedule and penalty verification, not advice about licensing, medicines, precursors, food, tobacco or other regulatory regimes. What is established is the control status under Act No. 139/1998 and the amount category under the Criminal Code. Annex 2 to the Act is the exempt preparations list and is a separate question again. The State Institute for Drug Control is the body that states the prescribing and dispensing conditions for Salvia divinorum. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for Salvia divinorum, and get the State Institute for Drug Control 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 Salvia divinorum 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. Act No. 139/1998 and Criminal Code No. 300/2005 were read on Slov-Lex, the official legal information portal, on 18 September 2026, in the consolidations effective 1 January 2026 and 18 August 2026.

Scopolamine (Devil's Breath)

Legal status: Scopolamine is not listed in the Slovak narcotic and psychotropic schedule. Act No. 139/1998 carries one closed operative schedule at Annex 1, divided into Groups I, II and III, and no matching listed substance was found for scopolamine. The source records the aliases searched: skopolamín; scopolamine, run through every group of Annex 1, its extension clauses and its final line. A no-hit on an English spelling would not have been enough, because the schedule uses Slovak names, chemical formulas, brand-neutral synonyms, plant entries and member-by-member lists. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups. The Criminal Code, No. 300/2005, decides the amount category through sections 135c to 135f and supplies the offences at sections 171 to 173. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidation of Act No. 139/1998 read was effective 1 January 2026 and incorporates amendment No. 293/2025; the Criminal Code consolidation read was effective 18 August 2026 and incorporates amendments through No. 168/2026. 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. Slovakia has no death penalty. It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, under Criminal Code section 173(5), and that is the one point on which this row has to be read carefully: the life ceiling is not assigned to scopolamine, because sections 171 to 173 attach to the substances in Act No. 139/1998 Annex 1 and scopolamine is not one of them. No controlled-substance threshold is given for it either, for the same reason. If a listed constituent is proved in a given material, that constituent is assessed separately and carries its own exposure. That is not a statement that scopolamine is unregulated in Slovakia; it is a statement that the drug offence scale is not the instrument that reaches it, and this row did not audit whichever regime does.
If prescribed / medical: There is no controlled drug prescription question for scopolamine in Slovakia, because Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 does not carry it. Whether scopolamine is available on prescription, over the counter or on general sale is a question for the Slovak medicines and pharmacy regime, which this row did not audit; the source states in terms that it is a schedule and penalty verification and not advice about licensing, medicines, precursors, food or tobacco. The State Institute for Drug Control is the body that answers it. Treat the supply route for scopolamine as unread rather than as open.
Documentation: Carry scopolamine as the Slovak medicines and pharmacy regime allows and do not read this row as a carriage permission, because a substance that is off the schedule is not thereby free to cross a border. That is the carriage answer for scopolamine and it is deliberately narrow. No traveller permit scheme, declaration form or carriage allowance for scopolamine appears in what was read here. Provenance follows. Act No. 139/1998 and Criminal Code No. 300/2005 were read on Slov-Lex, the official legal information portal, on 18 September 2026, and every annex was carried to its end: Act 139 Annex 1 ends with zolpidem followed by the salts clause, and Criminal Code Annex 1 ends with the lysergide row.

Synthetic Cannabinoids (K2 / Spice)

Legal status: Synthetic cannabinoids is controlled in Slovakia. Synthetic cannabinoids is a family label and Annex 1 gives it no single result. The Act controls named members and the Criminal Code prints a figure only for some of them, so the answer depends on which member is identified. The related text reads «AB-CHMINACA». The entry sits in Group I of Annex 1, among the psychotropic substances. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups. The Criminal Code, No. 300/2005, decides the amount category through sections 135c to 135f and supplies the offences at sections 171 to 173. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidation of Act No. 139/1998 read was effective 1 January 2026 and incorporates amendment No. 293/2025; the Criminal Code consolidation read was effective 18 August 2026 and incorporates amendments through No. 168/2026.

Slovakia has no death penalty, but it is the one country in this set whose drug ceiling is life imprisonment rather than a fixed term: Criminal Code section 173(5) reaches 10 to 25 years or life for unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, and it applies to synthetic cannabinoids. The scale runs from one year to life. Section 171 covers unauthorised possession: one year for a negligible amount of cannabis or tetrahydrocannabinol, two years for another drug in a negligible amount, three years for a small amount, and six years in the aggravated form. Section 172 covers cultivation and reaches fifteen years at subsection (7). Section 173 covers unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, reaching 8 to 20 years at subsection (4) and 10 to 25 years or life imprisonment at subsection (5). Neither the printed table nor the statutory residual gives a figure for this row as the source reads it, so the amount has to be taken from the identified member or constituent. Section 135d then scales everything from the negligible amount by fixed multiples: five for a small amount, 250 for a larger one, 1,500 for a substantial one and 5,000 for a large one, with anything above 5,000 classed as extraordinarily large.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for synthetic cannabinoids is a question this row does not answer, and the source says why: it is a schedule and penalty verification, not advice about licensing, medicines, precursors, food, tobacco or other regulatory regimes.

THC-P

Legal status: THC-P is controlled in Slovakia. Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 names THC-P. The entry relied on reads «THCP, tetrahydrokanabiforol, chemicky 3-heptyl-6a,7,8,10a-tetrahydro-6,6,9-trimetyl-6H-dibenzo[b,d]pyrán-1-ol alebo 3-heptyl-6a,7,10,10a-tetrahydro-6,6,9-trimetyl-6H-dibenzo[b,d]pyrán-1-ol», and the source states that its Slovak spelling, synonym and printed chemistry were checked together rather than matched on an English name alone. The entry sits in Group I of Annex 1, among the psychotropic substances. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups.

Section 173 covers unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, reaching 8 to 20 years at subsection (4) and 10 to 25 years or life imprisonment at subsection (5). Criminal Code Annex 1 prints no figure for this substance, so section 135c(2) supplies the statutory residual: a negligible amount is at most one gram of material containing the active substance. That one gram is a default that applies to every controlled drug absent from the printed table, and it is not a measurement of this substance. Section 135d then scales everything from the negligible amount by fixed multiples: five for a small amount, 250 for a larger one, 1,500 for a substantial one and 5,000 for a large one, with anything above 5,000 classed as extraordinarily large.

Tobacco

Legal status: Tobacco is not listed in the Slovak narcotic and psychotropic schedule. Act No. 139/1998 carries one closed operative schedule at Annex 1, divided into Groups I, II and III, and no matching listed substance was found for tobacco. The source records the aliases searched: tabak; tobacco; Nicotiana, run through every group of Annex 1, its extension clauses and its final line.

Tramadol

Legal status: Tramadol is not listed in the Slovak narcotic and psychotropic schedule. Act No. 139/1998 carries one closed operative schedule at Annex 1, divided into Groups I, II and III, and no matching listed substance was found for tramadol. The source records the aliases searched: tramadol; tramadolum, run through every group of Annex 1, its extension clauses and its final line. A no-hit on an English spelling would not have been enough, because the schedule uses Slovak names, chemical formulas, brand-neutral synonyms, plant entries and member-by-member lists. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups. The Criminal Code, No. 300/2005, decides the amount category through sections 135c to 135f and supplies the offences at sections 171 to 173. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026.

It does have life imprisonment for a drug offence, under Criminal Code section 173(5), and that is the one point on which this row has to be read carefully: the life ceiling is not assigned to tramadol, because sections 171 to 173 attach to the substances in Act No. 139/1998 Annex 1 and tramadol is not one of them.

Xanax (Alprazolam)

Legal status: Alprazolam is controlled in Slovakia. Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 names alprazolam. The entry relied on reads «Alprazolam, chemicky 6-fenyl-8-chlór-1-metyl-4H-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]benzo[f]1,4-diazepín», and the source states that its Slovak spelling, synonym and printed chemistry were checked together rather than matched on an English name alone. The entry sits in Group III of Annex 1, among the psychotropic substances. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups. The Criminal Code, No. 300/2005, decides the amount category through sections 135c to 135f and supplies the offences at sections 171 to 173. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidation of Act No. 139/1998 read was effective 1 January 2026 and incorporates amendment No. 293/2025; the Criminal Code consolidation read was effective 18 August 2026 and incorporates amendments through No. 168/2026.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Slovakia has no death penalty, but it is the one country in this set whose drug ceiling is life imprisonment rather than a fixed term: Criminal Code section 173(5) reaches 10 to 25 years or life for unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, and it applies to alprazolam. The scale runs from one year to life. Section 171 covers unauthorised possession: one year for a negligible amount of cannabis or tetrahydrocannabinol, two years for another drug in a negligible amount, three years for a small amount, and six years in the aggravated form. Section 172 covers cultivation and reaches fifteen years at subsection (7). Section 173 covers unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, reaching 8 to 20 years at subsection (4) and 10 to 25 years or life imprisonment at subsection (5). Criminal Code Annex 1 prints no figure for this substance, so section 135c(2) supplies the statutory residual: a negligible amount is at most one gram of material containing the active substance. That one gram is a default that applies to every controlled drug absent from the printed table, and it is not a measurement of this substance. Section 135d then scales everything from the negligible amount by fixed multiples: five for a small amount, 250 for a larger one, 1,500 for a substantial one and 5,000 for a large one, with anything above 5,000 classed as extraordinarily large.
If prescribed / medical: Whether there is a lawful route for alprazolam is a question this row does not answer, and the source says why: it is a schedule and penalty verification, not advice about licensing, medicines, precursors, food, tobacco or other regulatory regimes. What is established is the control status under Act No. 139/1998 and the amount category under the Criminal Code. Annex 2 to the Act is the exempt preparations list and is a separate question again. The State Institute for Drug Control is the body that states the prescribing and dispensing conditions for alprazolam. Treat the route as unread rather than as absent.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for alprazolam, and get the State Institute for Drug Control 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 alprazolam 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. Act No. 139/1998 and Criminal Code No. 300/2005 were read on Slov-Lex, the official legal information portal, on 18 September 2026, in the consolidations effective 1 January 2026 and 18 August 2026. The basis recorded for this row is a named schedule entry.

Xylazine

Legal status: Xylazine is controlled in Slovakia. Annex 1 to Act No. 139/1998 names xylazine. The entry relied on reads «Xylazín, chemicky N-(2,6-dimetylfenyl)-5,6-dihydro-4H-1,3-tiazín-2-amín», and the source states that its Slovak spelling, synonym and printed chemistry were checked together rather than matched on an English name alone. The entry sits in Group II of Annex 1, among the narcotic substances. Two statutes divide the work. Act No. 139/1998 decides whether a substance is in the three-group list at Annex 1, and section 3(1) classifies narcotic and psychotropic substances by their effects on health into those three groups. The Criminal Code, No. 300/2005, decides the amount category through sections 135c to 135f and supplies the offences at sections 171 to 173. This reading is stated as in force on 18 September 2026. The consolidation of Act No. 139/1998 read was effective 1 January 2026 and incorporates amendment No. 293/2025; the Criminal Code consolidation read was effective 18 August 2026 and incorporates amendments through No. 168/2026.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Slovakia has no death penalty, but it is the one country in this set whose drug ceiling is life imprisonment rather than a fixed term: Criminal Code section 173(5) reaches 10 to 25 years or life for unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, and it applies to xylazine. The scale runs from one year to life. Section 171 covers unauthorised possession: one year for a negligible amount of cannabis or tetrahydrocannabinol, two years for another drug in a negligible amount, three years for a small amount, and six years in the aggravated form. Section 172 covers cultivation and reaches fifteen years at subsection (7). Section 173 covers unauthorised manufacture and trafficking, reaching 8 to 20 years at subsection (4) and 10 to 25 years or life imprisonment at subsection (5). Criminal Code Annex 1 prints no figure for this substance, so section 135c(2) supplies the statutory residual: a negligible amount is at most one gram of material containing the active substance. That one gram is a default that applies to every controlled drug absent from the printed table, and it is not a measurement of this substance. Section 135d then scales everything from the negligible amount by fixed multiples: five for a small amount, 250 for a larger one, 1,500 for a substantial one and 5,000 for a large one, with anything above 5,000 classed as extraordinarily large.
