18 confirmed substances70 not individually verifiedLast updated September 21, 2026

Confirmed legal status

Adderall

Legal status: Controlled psychotropic. Adderall is mixed amphetamine salts, reached through the amfetamine and dexamfetamine entries of Schedule II of the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances. Syria's domestic statute is Narcotics Law No. 2 of 1993; no official Syrian publication of its text was reachable during this pass and it is not carried on UNODC SHERLOC.
Consequences if caught: NOT CONFIRMED from a primary source. The Article 39 capital description previously carried here came from an NGO overview and is withdrawn. Note that the substance Syria is internationally associated with is fenetylline (Captagon), a distinct 1971 Convention entry, not Adderall.
If prescribed / medical: Prescription availability NOT CONFIRMED. Syria furnished INCB no dexamfetamine and no amfetamine assessment for 2026, in a 13-substance return that does assess methylphenidate at 15,000 g. There is no recorded licit Adderall supply.
Documentation: Carry documentation for any controlled medicine and confirm before travel; enforcement practice is opaque during the political transition.

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.

Amphetamine

Legal status: Controlled psychotropic. Amphetamine sits in Schedule II of the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances and Syria files annual assessments with INCB under it. The domestic statute is Narcotics Law No. 2 of 1993; no official Syrian publication of its text was reachable during this pass, and it is not carried on UNODC SHERLOC.
Consequences if caught: NOT CONFIRMED from a primary source. The Article 39 capital description previously carried here was sourced to an NGO overview rather than the statute and is withdrawn. Syria is in political transition and enforcement practice is opaque; treat trafficking exposure as severe and unverified.
If prescribed / medical: Prescription availability NOT CONFIRMED. Syria furnished INCB assessments for 13 psychotropic substances for 2026, including methylphenidate at 15,000 g, but furnished no amfetamine and no dexamfetamine assessment. INCB records no licit amphetamine requirement for Syria.
Documentation: The Syrian Ministry of Health site is reachable but is not an allowlisted source for this project, so nothing is quoted from it here. Confirm any controlled-medicine import rule before travel.

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.
Consequences if caught: Art. 39 imposes death for drug trafficking/manufacture on paper, but that reaches aggravated trafficking, prescribed/personal buprenorphine is non-capital (post-2024 transitional enforcement is opaque).
If prescribed / medical: Dispensed as a controlled prescription medicine on Health Ministry authorisation.
Documentation: Health Ministry import authorisation is nominally required; carry full documentation.

Cannabis / THC

Legal status: Cannabis prohibited under the Narcotic Drugs Law No. 2 of 1993, cultivation/trafficking/manufacture punishable by DEATH (Art 39); user 3-15 years (Art 43); possession not for trafficking ≤1 year + fine; no medical cannabis; [retained; enforcement opaque amid conflict]
Consequences if caught: Cannabis is prohibited in Syria under the Narcotic Drugs Law No. 2 of 1993 (Legislative Decree). 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). A user draws 3-15 years (Art 43). [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.
If prescribed / medical: Not a prescribed traveller medicine in this form; Syria has no medical cannabis.
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.

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.

Cocaine

Legal status: Prohibited under the Narcotic Drugs Law No. 2 of 1993, trafficking/cultivation/manufacture punishable by DEATH (Art 39); trafficking life + fine; possession not for trafficking ≤1 year + fine; death in aggravated cases; [retained; enforcement opaque amid conflict]
Consequences if caught: Cocaine is prohibited in Syria under the Narcotic Drugs Law No. 2 of 1993 (Legislative Decree). 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). [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.
If prescribed / medical: Not a prescribed traveller medicine in this form.
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.

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: Available as medicine: Syria's INCB estimated requirement for codeine for 2026 is 3,500,000 g against morphine at 30,000 g, codeine is by far the largest opioid line in Syria's estimates. Syria is listed on INCB's country-regulations-for-travellers page as having provided information, but its English sheet was not retrievable here, so its carry terms are not stated.
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.

Delta-8-THC

Legal status: Controlled, delta-8-THC (Δ8-THC) is caught as a tetrahydrocannabinol under the Narcotic Drugs Law No. 2 of 1993, which schedules cannabis and THC; delta-8 is controlled as an isomer of THC. 39). The capital reach of a pure delta-8 isomer is left to confirmation.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: not established for this substance. Syria retains the death penalty for drug offences, under Narcotic Drugs Law No. 2 of 1993, article 39, for cultivation, trafficking or manufacture, and that much is established here. What is not established is this substance's own position under it: the source read here gives neither the article that would carry it nor any quantity at which it would apply. No threshold is stated in this cell because none was established. Do not read the absence of a figure as a safe amount. The country level position is the one to act on, and the substance specific position has to be settled against the current instrument.
If prescribed / medical: No recognised medical use; delta-8-THC is not a prescribable medicine.
Documentation: No lawful personal import of a controlled tetrahydrocannabinol.

Death applies in aggravated cases (a public official combating drugs, a minor used, or an international smuggling syndicate). [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.

Khat

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.
Consequences if caught: Not a local commodity; treated as a controlled substance drawing imprisonment for the leaf.
If prescribed / medical: Khat is traditional plant material with no recognised medical use and no lawful prescription route.
Documentation: No lawful personal-import route; leaf caught via its scheduled cathinone content.

MDA

Legal status: Controlled. MDA is a 1971 Convention Schedule I substance and Syria is a party, filing psychotropic assessments with INCB. The domestic statute is Narcotics Law No. 2 of 1993; no official Syrian publication of its text was reachable during this pass and it is not carried on UNODC SHERLOC.
Consequences if caught: NOT CONFIRMED from a primary source. The capital description previously carried here was sourced to an NGO overview rather than the statute and is withdrawn. Enforcement is in any case disrupted by the post-2024 political transition.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful prescription route. MDA is a Schedule I substance under the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances - the schedule reserved for substances with no recognised medical use - and no country anywhere furnished INCB an MDA assessment for 2026, while the closely related MDMA and MDPV each appear dozens of times in the same return. There is no licit MDA supply to prescribe from.
Documentation: No lawful personal import.

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.

refworld.org · Law No. 2 of 1993 carries the schedules this cell reads against, and this project's Syria substance dossier checked on 20 September 2026 records that neither the People's Assembly reproduction nor the Ministry of Justice route exposed a stable authenticated consolidated schedule current to that date. No version of the schedules is established, and that does not rule out a later amendment made or commenced since. · Updated September 21, 2026
