Is THC-P legal in Guyana?

Confirmed against a primary sourceVerified September 21, 2026
Legal status
Not established on this record, and the search that returned nothing is the finding. The dossier records what it calls English language searches for «tetrahidrocannabiforol (thcp)» and «thc-p», together with spelling variants and the chemical name, against the First and Second Schedules to the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (Control) Act, Cap. 10:10, and no current named entry and no closed group rule was proved anywhere in the complete instrument. No placement is asserted here in either direction. This homologue carries a seven carbon side chain in place of the five carbon chain of tetrahydrocannabinol, and it is tested separately from both delta-8 and delta-9. Delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol is proved as a named entry in this corpus and the homologue searched here is not. A search that returns nothing proves that nothing was found in what was read. It does not prove the substance is lawful in Guyana, and this cell does not say that it is. The search was recorded on 20 September 2026.
Consequences if caught
Capital exposure: none. Guyana's Cap. 10:10 carries no death penalty at any tier; section 5(1) sets the indictable trafficking ceiling at life imprisonment, so the worst outcome this Act reaches is a life sentence. That holds whether or not this substance turns out to be scheduled, which is why the heading can be stated while the placement cannot. No ceiling is assigned to this row, because controlled status was not settled from the primary instrument, so on this record no penalty article attaches at all. It is far more potent than tetrahydrocannabinol by weight, so a small quantity is not a small exposure if a placement is later proved. If a named entry or a printed group rule is later proved, section 5(1) is the ceiling that would apply.
If prescribed or medical
Deferred, and for two separate reasons. The dossier carries no Guyanese prescription rule, import permit, personal medicine allowance or Ministry authorisation route at all, and it also proves no schedule placement for this substance, so neither the traveller rule nor the placement it would attach to is available. It is sold as a consumer cannabinoid product rather than dispensed, so no prescription route exists. Settle it with the Guyanese authorities before travelling rather than from this cell.
Documentation
A certificate of analysis naming the homologue is the only meaningful document. Carry any medicine in its original dispensing packaging with the prescription and a prescriber's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, because an unproved placement is not a clearance and an officer's view of the material is what a traveller meets first. The search recorded for this row was read on 20 September 2026 and returned no named entry.
Primary sources
  • Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (Control) Act, Cap. 10:10, First and Second Schedules, searched for this row without a proved result
  • the terms recorded are «tetrahidrocannabiforol (thcp)» and «thc-p» with spelling variants and the chemical name, and the row boundary the dossier records for that search is «tests a heptyl cannabinoid homologue separately from delta-8 and delta-9 THC.»
  • read at https://mola.gov.gy/laws-of-guyana, the Ministry of Legal Affairs Laws of Guyana collection. The citation behind this cell is document level and not per substance. The source document carries exactly one hyperlink target for all 88 of its rows, and what it calls a links column holds constructed text such as «thc-p schedule | thc-p penalty» rather than a web address, so no page, paragraph or deep link exists for this row and none is invented here. Many of the dossier's entry and search strings are recorded in Spanish language or international nonproprietary form rather than in the English wording a Guyanese statute prints, so every string here is reproduced exactly as the dossier holds it and is not offered as the literal printed text of the Schedules
  • that discrepancy is recorded rather than resolved. Read as at 20 September 2026.
