Confirmed legal status

Adderall

Legal status: Adderall (mixed amphetamine salts) has no separate legal identity — it is regulated AS amphetamine: scheduled psychotropic under Narcotics Law No. 2 of 1993 (amphetamine/fenethylline 'Captagon' captured).
Consequences if caught: Trafficking/manufacture is DEATH-PENALTY or long-imprisonment eligible (Art. 39). Amphetamine (Captagon) carries capital exposure on paper; enforcement is opaque amid the post-2024 political transition — treat as high-risk.
If prescribed / medical: Prescription stimulant via strictly controlled medical channels; carrying it without a local permit/prescription risks arrest.
Documentation: In Syria (Narcotic Drugs Law No. 2 of 1993, Legislative Decree), trafficking, cultivation or manufacture is punishable by DEATH (Art 39); a user draws 3–15 years (Art 43); possession not for trafficking draws up to 1 year plus a fine up to 5,000 SYP; trafficking draws life plus a 1–5 million SYP fine. Death applies in aggravated cases (a public official combating drugs, a minor used, or an international smuggling syndicate). There is no medical cannabis. [retained; enforcement opaque amid conflict] Syria is retentionist on paper — death applies in aggravated cases (a public official combating drugs, a minor used, or an international smuggling syndicate) — but enforcement is opaque amid the conflict, and a September 2019 amnesty reduced some death sentences to life. Active executions are not asserted. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

Alcohol

Legal status: Legal / licensed (historically secular) — alcohol (ethanol) has been a licensed, openly-sold beverage under the long secular legal framework; availability is contracting amid the post-2024 political transition and local Islamist restrictions.
Consequences if caught: No general criminal penalty for adult consumption under the standing law; localised restrictions and enforcement have grown during the transition.
If prescribed / medical: n/a — a beverage, not a medicine.
Documentation: Traditionally sold in licensed shops, hotels and restaurants (especially Christian areas); post-2024 availability and permitted sale vary sharply by area and are best confirmed locally.

Buprenorphine

Legal status: Buprenorphine is a controlled narcotic under Syria's Narcotics Law No. 2 of 1993 — a lighter tier than methadone; capital exposure (Art. 39) attaches only to trafficking/manufacture, not to prescribed or personal medical use.

Documentation: Health Ministry import authorisation is nominally required; carry full documentation.

Cathinone

Legal status: Illegal — cathinone (khat's natural principal alkaloid) is a 1971 Convention SCHEDULE I psychotropic and is caught by Syria's psychotropics law incorporating the 1971 Convention. Mechanism: 1971 Sch-I transposition, named. As the parent compound it is DISTINCT from the khat PLANT (Catha edulis, not traditionally consumed) 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). The death penalty exists for trafficking, but cathinone as an isolated alkaloid realistically draws imprisonment — no realistic capital exposure.
Consequences if caught: Controlled substance: treated as a scheduled psychotropic drawing imprisonment for the alkaloid.
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.

CBD

Legal status: CBD (cannabidiol) is controlled as cannabis under Narcotic Drugs Legislative Decree No. 2 of 1993 — cannabis cultivation, sale and possession are illegal for recreational and medical use with no CBD carve-out or THC threshold; industrial hemp is illegal.
Consequences if caught: Imprisonment applies, with large trafficking offences up to 20 years and death for aggravated manufacture/transport/sale of narcotics, so CBD-specific personal exposure is left to confirmation (post-2024 governance flux affects enforcement).
If prescribed / medical: There is none.
Documentation: No documentation legalises CBD — controlled as cannabis, with no prescription route.

Codeine

Legal status: Codeine is a controlled narcotic under Narcotics Law No. 2 of 1993; low-dose codeine sits below the trafficking tier. Art. 39 imposes death for drug trafficking or manufacture on paper, but that capital exposure attaches to aggravated narcotic trafficking, not to therapeutic codeine (post-2024 transitional enforcement is uncertain).
Consequences if caught: Aggravated trafficking is death-eligible on paper; unauthorised possession of codeine draws imprisonment, while prescribed use is lawful.
If prescribed / medical: Dispensed as a controlled prescription medicine.
Documentation: Health Ministry import authorisation is nominally required; carry full documentation as the transitional situation is unreliable.

Crack Cocaine

Legal status: Crack is the freebase (base) form of cocaine and has no separate legal identity in Syria: it is controlled AS cocaine under the Narcotic Drugs Law No. 2 of 1993, whose schedule covers cocaine, its salts and preparations and thus reaches the base/freebase form. The capital trafficking regime (Art 39) carries over to crack whether powder or base.
Consequences if caught: Trafficking, cultivation or manufacture involving crack (as cocaine) is punishable by death (Art 39) or life plus fines; possession not for trafficking draws lesser penalties.
If prescribed / medical: Cocaine has no recognised therapeutic use in Syria; the crack/freebase base has no medicinal preparation and cannot be prescribed.
Documentation: No prescription documentation exists for crack/freebase cocaine.

If prescribed / medical: No recognised medical use; delta-8-THC is not a prescribable medicine.
Documentation: No lawful personal import of a controlled tetrahydrocannabinol.

Legal status: Illegal/controlled — the alkaloids are caught by Syria's 1971-party psychotropics law; khat is not traditionally consumed. Mechanism: class (alkaloid). The death penalty exists for trafficking, but khat leaf sits below the realistic capital tier — no realistic capital exposure.

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 — Syria prohibits MDMA under the Narcotic Drugs Law No. 2 of 1993, 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 carries capital exposure.
Consequences if caught: An MDMA-positive mixture is a serious offence under Law No. 2 of 1993 where trafficking, cultivation or manufacture is punishable by death (Art 39) and trafficking otherwise by life plus fine; possession is a lesser offence.
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 death-eligible MDMA is present, so capital-level legal exposure is unknowable at purchase.
