Synthetic Cannabinoids (K2 / Spice) in Macau: not individually verified

Not individually verified

We have not confirmed that Synthetic Cannabinoids (K2 / Spice) specifically is scheduled in Macau, so this page gives no legal status. Publishing a guess here would be worse than publishing nothing. What we do know is the governing national drug law, below.

What is on record: Not confirmed. Synthetic cannabinoids is an open chemical family, not one substance. The dossier records that item 18 of the II-B table defines particular synthetic cannabinoid structures and names others, and that the open family label has no single item; it quotes none of that wording. This record names no constituent placed by a quoted entry, so no placement is stated for synthetic cannabinoids here. This deferral does not mean that use or supply is lawful.

Confirm directly with Macau’s national drug authority or your own embassy before you rely on anything.
