Is Synthetic Cannabinoids (K2 / Spice) legal in Brunei?
- Legal status
- Controlled. Synthetic cannabinoids are scheduled controlled drugs under the Misuse of Drugs Act (Cap 27), which incorporates the synthetic cannabinoids added to Schedule II of the 1971 Convention (Brunei being a party). Capital exposure runs through the general trafficking-presumption regime (mandatory death for trafficking above the listed quantities), but those presumption quantities are named per-drug with no synthetic-cannabinoid quantity, so the capital threshold for this class is left to confirmation.
- Consequences if caught
- Illegal; trafficking a controlled drug is death-eligible under the MDA where a presumption quantity applies. Do NOT carry.
- If prescribed or medical
- These synthetic cannabinoids have no recognised medical use and no lawful prescription route in Brunei.
- Documentation
- No lawful personal-import route for controlled synthetic cannabinoids; do not carry.
