Is THC-P legal in Sweden?
- Legal status
- THC-P (tetrahydrocannabiphorol) is classified as narkotika (a narcotic) — delta-8-THCP and delta-9-THCP were added to the Medical Products Agency's narcotics schedules (LVFS 2011:10, amended by HSLF-FS 2024:12) following the Government's classification decision, in force from 16 January 2024. Sweden already applies zero-tolerance to cannabis; THC-P now sits in the same narcotics-law regime. No death penalty.
- Consequences if caught
- As a narcotic under the Narcotic Drugs (Punishments) Act (Narkotikastrafflagen 1968:64), possession and use are criminal (minor offences: day-fines plus a record); ordinary drug offences up to 3 years, and grave offences far longer.
- If prescribed or medical
- No medical authorisation in Sweden; narcotics classification leaves only licensed scientific use.
- Documentation
- Retail THC-P products (vapes, edibles, 'hash') became illegal to sell or possess from 16 January 2024; do not carry or import.
