- Consequences if caught
- Aggravated/recidivist trafficking or supply is DEATH-PENALTY eligible; other offences are imprisonment. Amphetamine carries capital exposure at the aggravated-trafficking tier; wartime enforcement (civil war since 2023) is unpredictable.
- If prescribed / medical

It is NOT a flat general-trafficking death penalty, and there is no medical cannabis.

It is NOT a flat general-trafficking death penalty.

Cathinone
- Legal status
- Illegal — cathinone (khat's natural principal alkaloid) is a 1971 Convention SCHEDULE I psychotropic and, Sudan being a 1971 party, is caught by the psychotropics schedule of its Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act. Mechanism: 1971 Sch-I transposition (convention-mirroring), named. As the parent compound it is DISTINCT from the khat PLANT (Catha edulis, not separately named) and from the synthetic cathinones (mephedrone etc.) that derive from it; cathinone is the named Sch-I alkaloid, cathine the milder metabolite (1971 Schedule III). Capital reach is left to confirmation — the Act permits severe penalties for trafficking, but cathinone-specific thresholds are not confirmable.
- Consequences if caught
- Controlled substance: penalties apply for the alkaloid; capital exposure for cathinone unconfirmable. High risk.
- If prescribed / medical
- 1971 Schedule I substance with no accepted medical use and no lawful prescription route for the isolated alkaloid.
- Documentation
- No licit personal-import route for a controlled substance.

Codeine
- Legal status
- Codeine is a controlled narcotic under the Narcotics and Psychotropic Substances Act 1994; supply is disrupted by war. Sudan is a mandatory-death drug state on paper for aggravated trafficking, but capital does not attach to therapeutic codeine.

- Documentation

Crack Cocaine

The conditional/aggravator-based death penalty carries over to crack whether powder or base.
- Consequences if caught
- Trafficking crack (as cocaine) is death-eligible on aggravating factors (recidivist, official, or organised involvement) under Arts 15-17; other offences draw imprisonment and fines.
- If prescribed / medical
- Cocaine has no recognised therapeutic use in Sudan; the crack/freebase base has no medicinal preparation and cannot be prescribed.

- If prescribed / medical
- No recognised medical use; delta-8-THC is not a prescribable medicine.

Methylphenidate
- Legal status
- Scheduled psychotropic under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropics Control Act 1994; a controlled medicine.
- Consequences if caught
- Aggravated/recidivist trafficking is death-eligible; methylphenidate is a licit medicine but must be carried with documentation. Wartime enforcement (civil war since 2023) is unpredictable.

Pink Cocaine / Tusi
- Legal status
- Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — Sudan prohibits MDMA under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act of 1994, which reaches any preparation containing a controlled substance. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled component, so an MDMA-containing tusi sample can carry capital exposure.
- Consequences if caught
- An MDMA-positive mixture is a serious offence under the 1994 Act where the death penalty is conditional/aggravator-based (recidivist, official, or where the offence involves a minor) and other trafficking draws lengthy imprisonment.
- If prescribed / medical
- No lawful supply of the mixture; MDMA has no accepted medical use, and ketamine, where present, is a controlled medicine.
- Documentation
- Sold as a party powder of unknown makeup; because the blend varies batch to batch, buyers and travellers cannot know whether MDMA (with its conditional capital exposure) is present, so legal exposure is unknowable at purchase.

Tramadol
- Legal status
- Tramadol is reported to be nationally scheduled/controlled in Sudan under its Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act framework (UNODC references Sudan scheduling tramadol around 2010); the exact current instrument is left to confirmation, and while Sudan retains the death penalty for drug trafficking in principle, a tramadol-specific capital tier is left to confirmation.
- Consequences if caught
- Unprescribed tramadol is treated as a controlled substance and is prosecuted; the tramadol-specific capital tier is left to confirmation.
- If prescribed / medical
- Dispensed as a controlled/scheduled prescription medicine.
- Documentation
- Carry only prescribed quantities with documentation (prescription and doctor's letter).
