Confirmed legal status

25I-NBOMe

Legal status: Controlled in Uzbekistan. 25I-NBOMe is named in its own row of the quantity annexes to Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 330 of 12 November 2015. The dossier quotes that row in the Russian official version as «25I-NBOMe (2-(4-йодо-2,5-диметоксифенил)-N-(2-метоксибензил) этанамин)» (25I-NBOMe, 2-(4-iodo-2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-N-(2-methoxybenzyl)ethanamine), with three threshold cells: «0,02 g»; «0,02 to 0,3 g»; «>0,3 g». The row was checked on 18 September 2026. The dossier does not record which of the resolution's controlled Lists I to IV carries the substance, so this cell names none of them.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. The dossier quotes article 25 of the Constitution: «В Республике Узбекистан смертная казнь запрещается» (the death penalty is prohibited in the Republic of Uzbekistan). It gives the statutory ceiling for drug offences as twenty years, quoting Criminal Code article 273(5): «наказывается лишением свободы от десяти до двадцати лет» (punishable by deprivation of liberty for ten to twenty years). For 25I-NBOMe the quantity annex prints the threshold cells «0,02 g», «0,02 to 0,3 g» and «>0,3 g». The dossier's preamble says the resolution prints small, exceeding small and large quantities, but the row does not label its three cells, so this cell does not say which category or offence band each figure opens. The row quotes no article for possession, supply, sale, import, export, manufacture or cultivation of 25I-NBOMe other than the twenty year ceiling in article 273(5).
If prescribed / medical: The dossier row this cell rests on does not state a prescription or medical route for 25I-NBOMe, and this cell states none.
Documentation: The dossier row this cell rests on does not state an import permit, a traveller allowance or any other documentation rule for 25I-NBOMe. The dossier row records one URL, https://lex.uz/docs/2815342. The dossier's source and access record gives https://lex.uz/docs/111453 as its penal source, cited here for the Criminal Code. It gives no URL for the Constitution, which is cited by name.

2C-B

Legal status: Controlled in Uzbekistan. 2C-B is named in its own row of the quantity annexes to Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 330 of 12 November 2015. The dossier quotes that row in the Russian official version as «2С-В (4-бром-2,5-диметоксифенетиламин)» (2C-B, 4-bromo-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine), with three threshold cells: «0,01 g»; «0,01 to 0,5 g»; «>0,5 g». The row was checked on 18 September 2026. The dossier does not record which of the resolution's controlled Lists I to IV carries the substance, so this cell names none of them. The entry names 2C-B itself, by that code and by its printed chemical name.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. The dossier quotes article 25 of the Constitution: «В Республике Узбекистан смертная казнь запрещается» (the death penalty is prohibited in the Republic of Uzbekistan). It gives the statutory ceiling for drug offences as twenty years, quoting Criminal Code article 273(5): «наказывается лишением свободы от десяти до двадцати лет» (punishable by deprivation of liberty for ten to twenty years). For 2C-B the quantity annex prints the threshold cells «0,01 g», «0,01 to 0,5 g» and «>0,5 g». The dossier's preamble says the resolution prints small, exceeding small and large quantities, but the row does not label its three cells, so this cell does not say which category or offence band each figure opens. The row quotes no article for possession, supply, sale, import, export, manufacture or cultivation of 2C-B other than the twenty year ceiling in article 273(5). The previous version of this page, citing a secondary source, the UNODC legal library copy of Criminal Code articles 270 to 276, stated the bands for illegal handling of narcotics as up to 5 years, 5 to 10 years for aggravated forms committed by a group or involving large amounts, and 10 to 20 years for an organised group, and named the Law on Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances alongside the Code. It tied each band to the Code as a whole rather than to a sub-article. The dossier quotes only article 273(5), ten to twenty years, and does not contradict the other bands; they are carried forward from the previous cell and were not re-read in this pass.
If prescribed / medical: The dossier row this cell rests on does not state a prescription or medical route for 2C-B, and this cell states none.
Documentation: The dossier row this cell rests on does not state an import permit, a traveller allowance or any other documentation rule for 2C-B. The dossier row records one URL, https://lex.uz/docs/2815342. The dossier's source and access record gives https://lex.uz/docs/111453 as its penal source, cited here for the Criminal Code. It gives no URL for the Constitution, which is cited by name.

3-MMC

Legal status: Controlled in Uzbekistan through a class entry. List I of Resolution 330, the list of narcotic drugs whose circulation is prohibited, names at row 62 «Катинон (l-альфа-аминопропиофенон), катиноны и их производные*» (cathinone, cathinones and their derivatives) [Certain]. 3-MMC, 3-methylmethcathinone, is a ring methylated N-methyl cathinone [Likely; the chemistry is brought from outside the text], and so falls within «катиноны и их производные» [Likely]. It becomes a named row of its own from 12 January 2027 [Certain].
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Article 25 of the Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan of 30 April 2023 provides «Ўзбекистон Республикасида ўлим жазоси тақиқланади», in the Russian text «В Республике Узбекистан смертная казнь запрещается» (the death penalty is prohibited in the Republic of Uzbekistan), read in both texts on lex.uz on 3 October 2026 [Certain]. Resolution 330 prints its quantities under the heading «Размеры (в граммах) для квалификации преступного деяния в случае обнаружения в незаконном обороте» in three columns headed «Небольшие», «Превышающие небольшие» and «Крупные», and the note to List I provides «Размер наркотического средства или его аналога, менее небольшого, обнаруженного в незаконном обороте, считается малым размером, предусмотренным Кодексом Республики Узбекистан об административной ответственности» [Certain]. For row 62 the row prints «0,02» in the first column, a range from 0,02 to 0,2 in the second and «0,2» in the third [Certain]. Matching the wording, the first column answers to the «кўп бўлмаган» amount of article 273 part two, the second to the «озгинадан кўпроқ» amount of part three and the third to the «кўп миқдор» of article 273 part six and article 276 part two [Likely for Resolution 330, which is in Russian and pairs nothing expressly; the 2027 lists of Resolution 359 head the same three columns «кўп бўлмаган миқдор», «озгинадан кўпроқ миқдор» and «кўп миқдор», the Code's own words]. The drug offences sit in articles 270 to 276 and 276-1 to 276-8 of the Criminal Code, several of them restated by Law ZRU-1151 of 11 June 2026, published on 12 June 2026, and the Code was read in that version [Certain]. Article 276 punishes making, keeping, acquiring, carrying or sending narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances or their analogues without intent to sell with a fine of up to fifty times the base calculation amount, up to three hundred and sixty hours of compulsory community work, up to three years of correctional labour, one to three years of restricted liberty or up to three years of deprivation of liberty, and with three to five years where it is done «кўп миқдорда» (in a large amount) or by a repeat offender [Certain]. Article 273 punishes the same conduct with intent to sell, and selling: up to three years under part one, three to five years where the amount is «кўп бўлмаган» (not large), five to seven years where it is «озгинадан кўпроқ» (more than a little), seven to ten years under part four for a repeat offence, a group by prior agreement, a prison, an educational setting, a minor or use of the internet, ten to fifteen years under part five for an especially dangerous recidivist or an organised group, and fifteen to twenty years under part six for a large amount or an organised group acting in two or more states or online [Certain]. Twenty years is the highest term in articles 270 to 276 as read [Certain]. Below the criminal level, Administrative Code article 56, restated by the same law, punishes the same conduct without intent to sell in a small amount («оз миқдорда») with confiscation and a fine of one to two times the base calculation amount or administrative arrest of up to fifteen days, and article 187-1 punishes use in a public place with a fine of twenty to forty times the base calculation amount or arrest of up to fifteen days, except use on prescription for medical purposes [Certain]. Resolution 330 is repealed from 12 January 2027 by Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 359 of 2 July 2026, published on 11 July 2026, whose paragraph 7 brings it into force six months after official publication and whose annex 10 lists Resolution 330 among the repealed acts; lex.uz records the entry into force as 12.01.2027 [Certain]. Resolution 359 keeps the class row at List I row 62, in Uzbek «Катинон (l-альфа-аминопропиофенон), катинонлар ва уларнинг хосилалари *», and adds «3-ММК, 3-метилметкатинон» as its own List I row 208, with «0,02» and «0,2» gram figures [Certain]. That the 2027 list names 3-MMC, 3-CMC and 4-CMC separately could be read as a sign that the class row was not thought to reach them; the class wording itself does [Likely].
If prescribed / medical: No prescription route exists for a List I drug [Certain].
Documentation: No traveller route exists for List I [Certain].

4-AcO-DMT

Legal status: Controlled in Uzbekistan as an ester of psilocin. 4-AcO-DMT is not named, but List I of Resolution 330 names «Псилоцин» at row 147, and the note to List I extends control to «сложные и простые эфиры наркотических средств, перечисленных в данном списке» (esters and ethers of the narcotic drugs in this list), with no limiting condition attached to that clause [Certain]. PubChem, read on 3 October 2026, names psilacetin, CID 15429212, as [3-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]-1H-indol-4-yl] acetate, and psilocin, CID 4980, as 3-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]-1H-indol-4-ol, so 4-AcO-DMT is psilocin with its 4-hydroxy group esterified by acetic acid [Certain on the PubChem names]. That is an ester of a listed drug in the ordinary sense, formed with a second acid, which is what separates it from GBL, a ring closed within GHB itself [Likely]. The placement is an inference from the clause, not a named row [Likely].
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Article 25 of the Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan of 30 April 2023 provides «Ўзбекистон Республикасида ўлим жазоси тақиқланади», in the Russian text «В Республике Узбекистан смертная казнь запрещается» (the death penalty is prohibited in the Republic of Uzbekistan), read in both texts on lex.uz on 3 October 2026 [Certain]. Resolution 330 prints its quantities under the heading «Размеры (в граммах) для квалификации преступного деяния в случае обнаружения в незаконном обороте» in three columns headed «Небольшие», «Превышающие небольшие» and «Крупные», and the note to List I provides «Размер наркотического средства или его аналога, менее небольшого, обнаруженного в незаконном обороте, считается малым размером, предусмотренным Кодексом Республики Узбекистан об административной ответственности» [Certain]. For psilocin in List I row 147 the row prints «0,01» in the first column, a range from 0,01 to 0,05 in the second and «0,05» in the third [Certain]. Matching the wording, the first column answers to the «кўп бўлмаган» amount of article 273 part two, the second to the «озгинадан кўпроқ» amount of part three and the third to the «кўп миқдор» of article 273 part six and article 276 part two [Likely for Resolution 330, which is in Russian and pairs nothing expressly; the 2027 lists of Resolution 359 head the same three columns «кўп бўлмаган миқдор», «озгинадан кўпроқ миқдор» and «кўп миқдор», the Code's own words]. The drug offences sit in articles 270 to 276 and 276-1 to 276-8 of the Criminal Code, several of them restated by Law ZRU-1151 of 11 June 2026, published on 12 June 2026, and the Code was read in that version [Certain]. Article 276 punishes making, keeping, acquiring, carrying or sending narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances or their analogues without intent to sell with a fine of up to fifty times the base calculation amount, up to three hundred and sixty hours of compulsory community work, up to three years of correctional labour, one to three years of restricted liberty or up to three years of deprivation of liberty, and with three to five years where it is done «кўп миқдорда» (in a large amount) or by a repeat offender [Certain]. Article 273 punishes the same conduct with intent to sell, and selling: up to three years under part one, three to five years where the amount is «кўп бўлмаган» (not large), five to seven years where it is «озгинадан кўпроқ» (more than a little), seven to ten years under part four for a repeat offence, a group by prior agreement, a prison, an educational setting, a minor or use of the internet, ten to fifteen years under part five for an especially dangerous recidivist or an organised group, and fifteen to twenty years under part six for a large amount or an organised group acting in two or more states or online [Certain]. Twenty years is the highest term in articles 270 to 276 as read [Certain]. Below the criminal level, Administrative Code article 56, restated by the same law, punishes the same conduct without intent to sell in a small amount («оз миқдорда») with confiscation and a fine of one to two times the base calculation amount or administrative arrest of up to fifteen days, and article 187-1 punishes use in a public place with a fine of twenty to forty times the base calculation amount or arrest of up to fifteen days, except use on prescription for medical purposes [Certain]. Resolution 330 is repealed from 12 January 2027 by Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 359 of 2 July 2026, published on 11 July 2026, whose paragraph 7 brings it into force six months after official publication and whose annex 10 lists Resolution 330 among the repealed acts; lex.uz records the entry into force as 12.01.2027 [Certain]. Resolution 359 keeps psilocin in List I and keeps the ester clause in its List I note, «ушбу рўйхатда келтирилган гиёҳвандлик воситаларининг мураккаб ва оддий эфирлари» [Certain].
If prescribed / medical: No prescription route exists for a List I drug [Certain].
Documentation: No traveller route exists for List I [Certain].

Adderall

Legal status: Controlled in Uzbekistan. Adderall is a mixture of amphetamine salts, and List II of Resolution 330 names at row 5 «Амфетамин и комбинированные лекарственные препараты, содержащие фенамин (амфетамин) *» (amphetamine and combined medicines containing phenamine, amphetamine) [Certain]. Its dextro isomer is placed higher: List I, the list of narcotic drugs whose circulation is prohibited, names «Дексамфетамин» at row 37, and List II names «Левамфетамин» at row 18 [Certain]. That Adderall's salts are dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine is brought from outside the text [Likely]. Both entries reach it: the List II row by its words, as a combined medicine containing amphetamine, and List I through its note, which brings «все смеси, в состав которых входят наркотические средства данного списка, независимо от их количества» under control [Likely]. The gram figures are the same on either entry; what differs is that List I has no medical route, and this cell takes the stricter entry as governing [Likely].
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Article 25 of the Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan of 30 April 2023 provides «Ўзбекистон Республикасида ўлим жазоси тақиқланади», in the Russian text «В Республике Узбекистан смертная казнь запрещается» (the death penalty is prohibited in the Republic of Uzbekistan), read in both texts on lex.uz on 3 October 2026 [Certain]. Resolution 330 prints its quantities under the heading «Размеры (в граммах) для квалификации преступного деяния в случае обнаружения в незаконном обороте» in three columns headed «Небольшие», «Превышающие небольшие» and «Крупные», and the note to List II provides «Размер наркотического средства или его аналога, менее небольшого, обнаруженного в незаконном обороте, считается малым размером, предусмотренным Кодексом Республики Узбекистан об административной ответственности» [Certain]. For amphetamine in List II row 5 the row prints «0,02» in the first column, a range from 0,02 to 0,3 in the second and «0,3» in the third [Certain]. Matching the wording, the first column answers to the «кўп бўлмаган» amount of article 273 part two, the second to the «озгинадан кўпроқ» amount of part three and the third to the «кўп миқдор» of article 273 part six and article 276 part two [Likely for Resolution 330, which is in Russian and pairs nothing expressly; the 2027 lists of Resolution 359 head the same three columns «кўп бўлмаган миқдор», «озгинадан кўпроқ миқдор» and «кўп миқдор», the Code's own words]. The same row prints a second set of figures, «1 мл», a range from 1 to 10 ml and «10 мл», for liquid forms [Certain]. Dexamfetamine in List I row 37 carries the same «0,02» and «0,3» gram figures [Certain]. The drug offences sit in articles 270 to 276 and 276-1 to 276-8 of the Criminal Code, several of them restated by Law ZRU-1151 of 11 June 2026, published on 12 June 2026, and the Code was read in that version [Certain]. Article 276 punishes making, keeping, acquiring, carrying or sending narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances or their analogues without intent to sell with a fine of up to fifty times the base calculation amount, up to three hundred and sixty hours of compulsory community work, up to three years of correctional labour, one to three years of restricted liberty or up to three years of deprivation of liberty, and with three to five years where it is done «кўп миқдорда» (in a large amount) or by a repeat offender [Certain]. Article 273 punishes the same conduct with intent to sell, and selling: up to three years under part one, three to five years where the amount is «кўп бўлмаган» (not large), five to seven years where it is «озгинадан кўпроқ» (more than a little), seven to ten years under part four for a repeat offence, a group by prior agreement, a prison, an educational setting, a minor or use of the internet, ten to fifteen years under part five for an especially dangerous recidivist or an organised group, and fifteen to twenty years under part six for a large amount or an organised group acting in two or more states or online [Certain]. Twenty years is the highest term in articles 270 to 276 as read [Certain]. Below the criminal level, Administrative Code article 56, restated by the same law, punishes the same conduct without intent to sell in a small amount («оз миқдорда») with confiscation and a fine of one to two times the base calculation amount or administrative arrest of up to fifteen days, and article 187-1 punishes use in a public place with a fine of twenty to forty times the base calculation amount or arrest of up to fifteen days, except use on prescription for medical purposes [Certain]. Resolution 330 is repealed from 12 January 2027 by Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 359 of 2 July 2026, published on 11 July 2026, whose paragraph 7 brings it into force six months after official publication and whose annex 10 lists Resolution 330 among the repealed acts; lex.uz records the entry into force as 12.01.2027 [Certain]. Resolution 359 keeps amphetamine and its combined medicines in List II at row 5 [Certain].
If prescribed / medical: Article 11 of Law No. 813-I bars any circulation of List I drugs except for the purposes in articles 21, 21-1 and 27 to 29, which are cultivation, industrial, scientific, investigative and similar uses, and permits List II and List III only on a doctor's direction [Certain]. Because dexamfetamine is in List I, a product containing it has no prescription route on the text read, although a product containing only racemic amphetamine would have the List II route [Likely].
Documentation: The transit rule in paragraph 2 of annex 3 to Resolution No. 472 of 2003 reaches only List II and List III substances, and Adderall also contains List I dexamfetamine, so the rule does not support carrying it [Likely]. Do not bring Adderall into Uzbekistan without written confirmation from the authorities [Likely].

Alcohol

Legal status: Legal for adults in Uzbekistan, with an age limit of twenty one. Alcohol is not a controlled drug: ethanol is not named in Lists I to IV of Resolution 330 or in the potent substance list of Resolution No. 818, read on 3 October 2026, and that does not rule out a later amendment [Certain]. Article 21 of Law ZRU-844 of 24 May 2023 forbids selling alcohol products to and by persons under twenty one, and article 24 forbids drinking «иш жойларида, кўчаларда, стадионларда, хиёбонларда, боғларда, барча турдаги жамоат транспортида ва бошқа жамоат жойларида» (at work, in streets, stadiums, parks, public transport and other public places), except in licensed premises and at weddings and celebrations [Certain].
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Article 25 of the Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan of 30 April 2023 provides «Ўзбекистон Республикасида ўлим жазоси тақиқланади», in the Russian text «В Республике Узбекистан смертная казнь запрещается» (the death penalty is prohibited in the Republic of Uzbekistan), read in both texts on lex.uz on 3 October 2026 [Certain]. Drinking in a public place is fined under Administrative Code article 187 at half the base calculation amount [Certain]. Making strong home distilled spirits to sell, or selling them, is fined under article 186 at five to ten times the base calculation amount with confiscation [Certain]. Drink driving rules were not read in this run.
If prescribed / medical: Not applicable.
Documentation: The personal import allowance for alcohol was not read in this run.

Amphetamine

Legal status: Controlled in Uzbekistan. Amphetamine is named in its own row of the quantity annexes to Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 330 of 12 November 2015. The dossier quotes that row in the Russian official version as «Амфетамин и комбинированные лекарственные препараты, содержащие фенамин» (amphetamine and combined medicinal preparations containing phenamine), with three threshold cells: «0,02 g»; «0,02 to 0,3 g»; «>0,3 g». The row was checked on 18 September 2026. The dossier does not record which of the resolution's controlled Lists I to IV carries the substance, so this cell names none of them.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. The dossier quotes article 25 of the Constitution: «В Республике Узбекистан смертная казнь запрещается» (the death penalty is prohibited in the Republic of Uzbekistan). It gives the statutory ceiling for drug offences as twenty years, quoting Criminal Code article 273(5): «наказывается лишением свободы от десяти до двадцати лет» (punishable by deprivation of liberty for ten to twenty years). For amphetamine the quantity annex prints the threshold cells «0,02 g», «0,02 to 0,3 g» and «>0,3 g». The dossier's preamble says the resolution prints small, exceeding small and large quantities, but the row does not label its three cells, so this cell does not say which category or offence band each figure opens. The row quotes no article for possession, supply, sale, import, export, manufacture or cultivation of amphetamine other than the twenty year ceiling in article 273(5).
If prescribed / medical: The dossier row this cell rests on does not state a prescription or medical route for amphetamine, and this cell states none.
Documentation: The dossier row this cell rests on does not state an import permit, a traveller allowance or any other documentation rule for amphetamine. The dossier row records one URL, https://lex.uz/docs/2815342. The dossier's source and access record gives https://lex.uz/docs/111453 as its penal source, cited here for the Criminal Code. It gives no URL for the Constitution, which is cited by name.

The drug offences sit in articles 270 to 276 and 276-1 to 276-8 of the Criminal Code, several of them restated by Law ZRU-1151 of 11 June 2026, published on 12 June 2026, and the Code was read in that version [Certain].

Legal status: Controlled in Uzbekistan. List I of Resolution 330, the list of narcotic drugs whose circulation is prohibited, names at row 156 «Тетрагидроканнабинол (все изомеры)» (tetrahydrocannabinol, all isomers) [Certain]. Delta-8-THC is itself a tetrahydrocannabinol, delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol, differing from delta-9-THC only in the position of one double bond [Likely; chemistry brought from outside the text]. It is therefore within the chemical designation the row names, and that, not a shared formula, is why the row reaches it [Likely]. Cannabidiol shares the formula but is not a tetrahydrocannabinol, which is why the cannabidiol row is treated separately.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Article 25 of the Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan of 30 April 2023 provides «Ўзбекистон Республикасида ўлим жазоси тақиқланади», in the Russian text «В Республике Узбекистан смертная казнь запрещается» (the death penalty is prohibited in the Republic of Uzbekistan), read in both texts on lex.uz on 3 October 2026 [Certain]. Resolution 330 prints its quantities under the heading «Размеры (в граммах) для квалификации преступного деяния в случае обнаружения в незаконном обороте» in three columns headed «Небольшие», «Превышающие небольшие» and «Крупные», and the note to List I provides «Размер наркотического средства или его аналога, менее небольшого, обнаруженного в незаконном обороте, считается малым размером, предусмотренным Кодексом Республики Узбекистан об административной ответственности» [Certain]. For tetrahydrocannabinol in List I row 156 the row prints «0,1» in the first column, a range from 0,1 to 1,0 in the second and «1,0» in the third [Certain]. Matching the wording, the first column answers to the «кўп бўлмаган» amount of article 273 part two, the second to the «озгинадан кўпроқ» amount of part three and the third to the «кўп миқдор» of article 273 part six and article 276 part two [Likely for Resolution 330, which is in Russian and pairs nothing expressly; the 2027 lists of Resolution 359 head the same three columns «кўп бўлмаган миқдор», «озгинадан кўпроқ миқдор» and «кўп миқдор», the Code's own words]. The drug offences sit in articles 270 to 276 and 276-1 to 276-8 of the Criminal Code, several of them restated by Law ZRU-1151 of 11 June 2026, published on 12 June 2026, and the Code was read in that version [Certain]. Article 276 punishes making, keeping, acquiring, carrying or sending narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances or their analogues without intent to sell with a fine of up to fifty times the base calculation amount, up to three hundred and sixty hours of compulsory community work, up to three years of correctional labour, one to three years of restricted liberty or up to three years of deprivation of liberty, and with three to five years where it is done «кўп миқдорда» (in a large amount) or by a repeat offender [Certain]. Article 273 punishes the same conduct with intent to sell, and selling: up to three years under part one, three to five years where the amount is «кўп бўлмаган» (not large), five to seven years where it is «озгинадан кўпроқ» (more than a little), seven to ten years under part four for a repeat offence, a group by prior agreement, a prison, an educational setting, a minor or use of the internet, ten to fifteen years under part five for an especially dangerous recidivist or an organised group, and fifteen to twenty years under part six for a large amount or an organised group acting in two or more states or online [Certain]. Twenty years is the highest term in articles 270 to 276 as read [Certain]. Below the criminal level, Administrative Code article 56, restated by the same law, punishes the same conduct without intent to sell in a small amount («оз миқдорда») with confiscation and a fine of one to two times the base calculation amount or administrative arrest of up to fifteen days, and article 187-1 punishes use in a public place with a fine of twenty to forty times the base calculation amount or arrest of up to fifteen days, except use on prescription for medical purposes [Certain]. Resolution 330 is repealed from 12 January 2027 by Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 359 of 2 July 2026, published on 11 July 2026, whose paragraph 7 brings it into force six months after official publication and whose annex 10 lists Resolution 330 among the repealed acts; lex.uz records the entry into force as 12.01.2027 [Certain]. Resolution 359 widens the row to «Тетрагидроканнабинол (ҳамма изомерлари) ва уларнинг ҳосилалари» (all isomers and their derivatives) at List I row 156, and lowers the figures to «0,01» and «0,1» [Certain].
If prescribed / medical: List I drugs may not circulate except for the purposes in articles 21, 21-1 and 27 to 29 of Law No. 813-I, and none of those is a prescription to a patient [Certain]. No medical cannabis route was found in the texts read.
Documentation: No traveller route exists for List I. Vapes and edibles sold abroad as delta-8 are mixtures, and the List I note brings «все смеси, в состав которых входят наркотические средства данного списка, независимо от их количества» (all mixtures containing narcotic drugs of this list, whatever their quantity) under control [Certain]. Vape devices themselves are also banned from import under article 37 of the law on alcohol and tobacco, discussed in the nicotine row [Likely].

Diazepam

Legal status: Controlled in Uzbekistan. Diazepam is named in its own row of the quantity annexes to Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 330 of 12 November 2015. The dossier quotes that row in the Russian official version as «Диазепам» (diazepam), with three threshold cells: «0,06 g»; «0,06 to 0,6 g»; «>0,6 g». The row was checked on 18 September 2026. The dossier does not record which of the resolution's controlled Lists I to IV carries the substance, so this cell names none of them.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. The dossier quotes article 25 of the Constitution: «В Республике Узбекистан смертная казнь запрещается» (the death penalty is prohibited in the Republic of Uzbekistan). It gives the statutory ceiling for drug offences as twenty years, quoting Criminal Code article 273(5): «наказывается лишением свободы от десяти до двадцати лет» (punishable by deprivation of liberty for ten to twenty years). For diazepam the quantity annex prints the threshold cells «0,06 g», «0,06 to 0,6 g» and «>0,6 g». The dossier's preamble says the resolution prints small, exceeding small and large quantities, but the row does not label its three cells, so this cell does not say which category or offence band each figure opens. The row quotes no article for possession, supply, sale, import, export, manufacture or cultivation of diazepam other than the twenty year ceiling in article 273(5).
If prescribed / medical: The dossier row this cell rests on does not state a prescription or medical route for diazepam, and this cell states none.

It gives no URL for the Constitution, which is cited by name.

DMT

Legal status: Controlled in Uzbekistan. DMT is named in its own row of the quantity annexes to Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 330 of 12 November 2015. The dossier quotes that row in the Russian official version as «ДМТ (диметилтриптамин)» (DMT (dimethyltryptamine)), with three threshold cells: «0,02 g»; «0,02 to 0,2 g»; «>0,2 g». The row was checked on 18 September 2026. The dossier does not record which of the resolution's controlled Lists I to IV carries the substance, so this cell names none of them.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. The dossier quotes article 25 of the Constitution: «В Республике Узбекистан смертная казнь запрещается» (the death penalty is prohibited in the Republic of Uzbekistan). It gives the statutory ceiling for drug offences as twenty years, quoting Criminal Code article 273(5): «наказывается лишением свободы от десяти до двадцати лет» (punishable by deprivation of liberty for ten to twenty years). For DMT the quantity annex prints the threshold cells «0,02 g», «0,02 to 0,2 g» and «>0,2 g». The dossier's preamble says the resolution prints small, exceeding small and large quantities, but the row does not label its three cells, so this cell does not say which category or offence band each figure opens. The row quotes no article for possession, supply, sale, import, export, manufacture or cultivation of DMT other than the twenty year ceiling in article 273(5). The previous version of this page, citing a secondary source, the UNODC legal library copy of Criminal Code articles 270 to 276, stated the bands for illegal handling of narcotics as up to 5 years, 5 to 10 years for aggravated forms committed by a group or involving large amounts, and 10 to 20 years for an organised group, and named the Law on Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances alongside the Code. It tied each band to the Code as a whole rather than to a sub-article. The dossier quotes only article 273(5), ten to twenty years, and does not contradict the other bands; they are carried forward from the previous cell and were not re-read in this pass.
If prescribed / medical: The dossier row this cell rests on does not state a prescription or medical route for DMT, and this cell states none.
Documentation: The dossier row this cell rests on does not state an import permit, a traveller allowance or any other documentation rule for DMT. The dossier row records one URL, https://lex.uz/docs/2815342. The dossier's source and access record gives https://lex.uz/docs/111453 as its penal source, cited here for the Criminal Code.

Heroin

Legal status: Controlled in Uzbekistan. Heroin is named in its own row of the quantity annexes to Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 330 of 12 November 2015. The dossier quotes that row in the Russian official version as «Героин (диацетилморфин)» (heroin (diacetylmorphine)), with three threshold cells: «0,001 g»; «0,001 to 0,005 g»; «>0,005 g». The row was checked on 18 September 2026. The dossier does not record which of the resolution's controlled Lists I to IV carries the substance, so this cell names none of them.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. The dossier quotes article 25 of the Constitution: «В Республике Узбекистан смертная казнь запрещается» (the death penalty is prohibited in the Republic of Uzbekistan). It gives the statutory ceiling for drug offences as twenty years, quoting Criminal Code article 273(5): «наказывается лишением свободы от десяти до двадцати лет» (punishable by deprivation of liberty for ten to twenty years). For heroin the quantity annex prints the threshold cells «0,001 g», «0,001 to 0,005 g» and «>0,005 g». The dossier's preamble says the resolution prints small, exceeding small and large quantities, but the row does not label its three cells, so this cell does not say which category or offence band each figure opens. The row quotes no article for possession, supply, sale, import, export, manufacture or cultivation of heroin other than the twenty year ceiling in article 273(5). The previous version of this page, citing a secondary source, the UNODC legal library copy of Criminal Code articles 270 to 276, stated the bands for illegal handling of narcotics as up to 5 years, 5 to 10 years for aggravated forms committed by a group or involving large amounts, and 10 to 20 years for an organised group, and named the Law on Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances alongside the Code. It tied each band to the Code as a whole rather than to a sub-article. The dossier quotes only article 273(5), ten to twenty years, and does not contradict the other bands; they are carried forward from the previous cell and were not re-read in this pass.
If prescribed / medical: The dossier row this cell rests on does not state a prescription or medical route for heroin, and this cell states none.
Documentation: The dossier row this cell rests on does not state an import permit, a traveller allowance or any other documentation rule for heroin. The dossier row records one URL, https://lex.uz/docs/2815342. The dossier's source and access record gives https://lex.uz/docs/111453 as its penal source, cited here for the Criminal Code. It gives no URL for the Constitution, which is cited by name.

Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Article 25 of the Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan of 30 April 2023 provides «Ўзбекистон Республикасида ўлим жазоси тақиқланади», in the Russian text «В Республике Узбекистан смертная казнь запрещается» (the death penalty is prohibited in the Republic of Uzbekistan), read in both texts on lex.uz on 3 October 2026 [Certain].

For lorazepam the row prints «0,015» in the first column, a range from 0,015 to 0,15 in the second and «0,15» in the third [Certain]. Matching the wording, the first column answers to the «кўп бўлмаган» amount of article 273 part two, the second to the «озгинадан кўпроқ» amount of part three and the third to the «кўп миқдор» of article 273 part six and article 276 part two [Likely for Resolution 330, which is in Russian and pairs nothing expressly; the 2027 lists of Resolution 359 head the same three columns «кўп бўлмаган миқдор», «озгинадан кўпроқ миқдор» and «кўп миқдор», the Code's own words]. The drug offences sit in articles 270 to 276 and 276-1 to 276-8 of the Criminal Code, several of them restated by Law ZRU-1151 of 11 June 2026, published on 12 June 2026, and the Code was read in that version [Certain].

Article 273 punishes the same conduct with intent to sell, and selling: up to three years under part one, three to five years where the amount is «кўп бўлмаган» (not large), five to seven years where it is «озгинадан кўпроқ» (more than a little), seven to ten years under part four for a repeat offence, a group by prior agreement, a prison, an educational setting, a minor or use of the internet, ten to fifteen years under part five for an especially dangerous recidivist or an organised group, and fifteen to twenty years under part six for a large amount or an organised group acting in two or more states or online [Certain]. Twenty years is the highest term in articles 270 to 276 as read [Certain]. Below the criminal level, Administrative Code article 56, restated by the same law, punishes the same conduct without intent to sell in a small amount («оз миқдорда») with confiscation and a fine of one to two times the base calculation amount or administrative arrest of up to fifteen days, and article 187-1 punishes use in a public place with a fine of twenty to forty times the base calculation amount or arrest of up to fifteen days, except use on prescription for medical purposes [Certain]. Resolution 330 is repealed from 12 January 2027 by Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 359 of 2 July 2026, published on 11 July 2026, whose paragraph 7 brings it into force six months after official publication and whose annex 10 lists Resolution 330 among the repealed acts; lex.uz records the entry into force as 12.01.2027 [Certain]. Resolution 359 keeps lorazepam in List III [Certain].
If prescribed / medical: List III substances may be used for medical purposes on a doctor's direction under article 11 of Law No. 813-I, and dispensed to individuals only by licensed pharmacies and treatment institutions under article 30 [Certain].
Documentation: Article 11 of Law No. 813-I of 19 August 1999 on narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances allows List II and List III substances «шифокор кўрсатмаси бўйича тиббий мақсадларда» (on a doctor's direction for medical purposes) [Certain]. Article 25 lets a patient in transit carry List II and List III substances for treatment in the order set by the Cabinet of Ministers [Certain]. That order, paragraph 2 of annex 3 to Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 472 of 29 October 2003, allows narcotic drugs up to «етти кун» (seven days') dose and psychotropic substances up to «15 кун» (fifteen days') dose, and paragraph 3 requires a declaration at the border, a treating doctor's conclusion naming the drug, form, dose and duration, and a copy of the prescription [Certain]. From 12 January 2027 annex 5 to Resolution 359 replaces it and sets fifteen days for both lists [Certain]. Both texts speak of patients passing «транзит (трансфер)» (in transit or transfer); neither sets an allowance for a visitor who stays, and none was found in the texts read [Certain that none is stated in them].

For mescaline the quantity annex prints the threshold cells «0,03 g», «0,03 to 0,5 g» and «>0,5 g». The dossier's preamble says the resolution prints small, exceeding small and large quantities, but the row does not label its three cells, so this cell does not say which category or offence band each figure opens. The row quotes no article for possession, supply, sale, import, export, manufacture or cultivation of mescaline other than the twenty year ceiling in article 273(5). The previous version of this page, citing a secondary source, the UNODC legal library copy of Criminal Code articles 270 to 276, stated the bands for illegal handling of narcotics as up to 5 years, 5 to 10 years for aggravated forms committed by a group or involving large amounts, and 10 to 20 years for an organised group, and named the Law on Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances alongside the Code. It tied each band to the Code as a whole rather than to a sub-article. The dossier quotes only article 273(5), ten to twenty years, and does not contradict the other bands; they are carried forward from the previous cell and were not re-read in this pass.
If prescribed / medical: The dossier row this cell rests on does not state a prescription or medical route for mescaline, and this cell states none.
Documentation: The dossier row this cell rests on does not state an import permit, a traveller allowance or any other documentation rule for mescaline.

The previous version of this page, citing a secondary source, the UNODC legal library copy of Criminal Code articles 270 to 276, stated the bands for illegal handling of narcotics as up to 5 years, 5 to 10 years for aggravated forms committed by a group or involving large amounts, and 10 to 20 years for an organised group, and named the Law on Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances alongside the Code. It tied each band to the Code as a whole rather than to a sub-article. The dossier quotes only article 273(5), ten to twenty years, and does not contradict the other bands; they are carried forward from the previous cell and were not re-read in this pass.
If prescribed / medical: The dossier row this cell rests on does not state a prescription or medical route for PCP, and this cell states none.
Documentation: The dossier row this cell rests on does not state an import permit, a traveller allowance or any other documentation rule for PCP. The dossier row records one URL, https://lex.uz/docs/2815342. The dossier's source and access record gives https://lex.uz/docs/111453 as its penal source, cited here for the Criminal Code. It gives no URL for the Constitution, which is cited by name.

Peyote

Legal status: Controlled in Uzbekistan through its mescaline content. Peyote is not named, but List I of Resolution 330 names «Мескалин**» at row 88, and its note extends control to «растения или их части, содержащие какое-либо средство, включенное в этот список» (plants or parts of plants containing any listed drug), which are subject to the same control as the drug [Certain]. Peyote, Lophophora williamsii, contains mescaline [Likely; the botany is brought from outside the text].
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Article 25 of the Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan of 30 April 2023 provides «Ўзбекистон Республикасида ўлим жазоси тақиқланади», in the Russian text «В Республике Узбекистан смертная казнь запрещается» (the death penalty is prohibited in the Republic of Uzbekistan), read in both texts on lex.uz on 3 October 2026 [Certain]. Resolution 330 prints its quantities under the heading «Размеры (в граммах) для квалификации преступного деяния в случае обнаружения в незаконном обороте» in three columns headed «Небольшие», «Превышающие небольшие» and «Крупные», and the note to List I provides «Размер наркотического средства или его аналога, менее небольшого, обнаруженного в незаконном обороте, считается малым размером, предусмотренным Кодексом Республики Узбекистан об административной ответственности» [Certain]. For mescaline in List I row 88 the row prints «0,03» in the first column, a range from 0,03 to 0,5 in the second and «0,5» in the third [Certain]. Matching the wording, the first column answers to the «кўп бўлмаган» amount of article 273 part two, the second to the «озгинадан кўпроқ» amount of part three and the third to the «кўп миқдор» of article 273 part six and article 276 part two [Likely for Resolution 330, which is in Russian and pairs nothing expressly; the 2027 lists of Resolution 359 head the same three columns «кўп бўлмаган миқдор», «озгинадан кўпроқ миқдор» and «кўп миқдор», the Code's own words]. The note does not say whether a plant is weighed whole or by its mescaline content, and the texts read do not settle it [Certain that it is not stated]. The drug offences sit in articles 270 to 276 and 276-1 to 276-8 of the Criminal Code, several of them restated by Law ZRU-1151 of 11 June 2026, published on 12 June 2026, and the Code was read in that version [Certain]. Article 276 punishes making, keeping, acquiring, carrying or sending narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances or their analogues without intent to sell with a fine of up to fifty times the base calculation amount, up to three hundred and sixty hours of compulsory community work, up to three years of correctional labour, one to three years of restricted liberty or up to three years of deprivation of liberty, and with three to five years where it is done «кўп миқдорда» (in a large amount) or by a repeat offender [Certain]. Article 273 punishes the same conduct with intent to sell, and selling: up to three years under part one, three to five years where the amount is «кўп бўлмаган» (not large), five to seven years where it is «озгинадан кўпроқ» (more than a little), seven to ten years under part four for a repeat offence, a group by prior agreement, a prison, an educational setting, a minor or use of the internet, ten to fifteen years under part five for an especially dangerous recidivist or an organised group, and fifteen to twenty years under part six for a large amount or an organised group acting in two or more states or online [Certain]. Twenty years is the highest term in articles 270 to 276 as read [Certain]. Below the criminal level, Administrative Code article 56, restated by the same law, punishes the same conduct without intent to sell in a small amount («оз миқдорда») with confiscation and a fine of one to two times the base calculation amount or administrative arrest of up to fifteen days, and article 187-1 punishes use in a public place with a fine of twenty to forty times the base calculation amount or arrest of up to fifteen days, except use on prescription for medical purposes [Certain]. Cultivating a plant containing a narcotic drug is separately punished by article 270, whose first part, as reworded by ZRU-1151, reaches «таркибида гиёҳвандлик воситалари ёки психотроп моддалар бўлган экинлар» (crops containing narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances), with up to three years [Certain]. Resolution 330 is repealed from 12 January 2027 by Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 359 of 2 July 2026, published on 11 July 2026, whose paragraph 7 brings it into force six months after official publication and whose annex 10 lists Resolution 330 among the repealed acts; lex.uz records the entry into force as 12.01.2027 [Certain]. Resolution 359 keeps mescaline in List I [Certain].
If prescribed / medical: No medical use route exists for a List I drug on the texts read [Certain].
Documentation: No traveller route exists; cacti and buttons fall under the plant clause [Likely].

Pink Cocaine / Tusi

Legal status: Controlled whenever the product contains a listed drug. Pink cocaine is a street name for a dyed powder, not a substance, and no list names it [Certain]. The notes to Resolution 330 bring under control, for List I, «все смеси, в состав которых входят наркотические средства данного списка, независимо от их количества», and for List II and List III, preparations containing a listed drug or substance «независимо от их количества и наличия нейтральных компонентов» [Certain]. The constituents usually reported, ketamine (List III row 25, «Кетамин») and MDMA (List I row 79), are both listed [Certain that they are listed; Likely that a given sample contains them].
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Article 25 of the Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan of 30 April 2023 provides «Ўзбекистон Республикасида ўлим жазоси тақиқланади», in the Russian text «В Республике Узбекистан смертная казнь запрещается» (the death penalty is prohibited in the Republic of Uzbekistan), read in both texts on lex.uz on 3 October 2026 [Certain]. For ketamine List III row 25 prints «0,2», a range from 0,2 to 1,0 and «1,0» grams, and for MDMA List I row 79 prints «0,02», a range from 0,02 to 0,2 and «0,2» [Certain]. Which threshold governs a mixed powder depends on what a laboratory finds in it, and the texts read do not set a rule for a mixture of two listed drugs [Certain that none is stated]. Resolution 359 states from 2027 that a combined medicine with several controlled substances is controlled as the one present in the largest quantity, but that rule speaks of medicines, not street mixtures [Certain]. The drug offences sit in articles 270 to 276 and 276-1 to 276-8 of the Criminal Code, several of them restated by Law ZRU-1151 of 11 June 2026, published on 12 June 2026, and the Code was read in that version [Certain]. Article 276 punishes making, keeping, acquiring, carrying or sending narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances or their analogues without intent to sell with a fine of up to fifty times the base calculation amount, up to three hundred and sixty hours of compulsory community work, up to three years of correctional labour, one to three years of restricted liberty or up to three years of deprivation of liberty, and with three to five years where it is done «кўп миқдорда» (in a large amount) or by a repeat offender [Certain]. Article 273 punishes the same conduct with intent to sell, and selling: up to three years under part one, three to five years where the amount is «кўп бўлмаган» (not large), five to seven years where it is «озгинадан кўпроқ» (more than a little), seven to ten years under part four for a repeat offence, a group by prior agreement, a prison, an educational setting, a minor or use of the internet, ten to fifteen years under part five for an especially dangerous recidivist or an organised group, and fifteen to twenty years under part six for a large amount or an organised group acting in two or more states or online [Certain]. Twenty years is the highest term in articles 270 to 276 as read [Certain]. Below the criminal level, Administrative Code article 56, restated by the same law, punishes the same conduct without intent to sell in a small amount («оз миқдорда») with confiscation and a fine of one to two times the base calculation amount or administrative arrest of up to fifteen days, and article 187-1 punishes use in a public place with a fine of twenty to forty times the base calculation amount or arrest of up to fifteen days, except use on prescription for medical purposes [Certain]. Resolution 330 is repealed from 12 January 2027 by Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 359 of 2 July 2026, published on 11 July 2026, whose paragraph 7 brings it into force six months after official publication and whose annex 10 lists Resolution 330 among the repealed acts; lex.uz records the entry into force as 12.01.2027 [Certain]. Resolution 359 keeps ketamine in List III and MDMA in List I [Certain].
If prescribed / medical: No prescription route exists for a street mixture [Certain].
Documentation: No traveller route exists [Certain].

Pregabalin

Legal status: Controlled in Uzbekistan as a potent substance of the special category, not as a narcotic. Row 55 of the list of potent substances in annex 1 to Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 818 of 27 September 2019, in the wording given by Resolution No. 632 of 4 October 2024 and in force from 6 January 2025, reads «Прегабалин *», and the footnote to the asterisk reads «Ушбу моддалар алоҳида тоифадаги кучли таъсир қилувчи моддалар ҳисобланиб, улар фақат гиёҳвандлик воситалари ва/ёки психотроп моддаларни сақлаш ва сотиш фаолияти учун лицензияга эга бўлган дорихоналар ва ижтимоий дорихоналар орқали улгуржи ва чакана реализация қилинади (сотилади)» (these are potent substances of the special category, sold wholesale and retail only through pharmacies licensed to keep and sell narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances) [Certain]. It is not in Lists I to IV of Resolution 330 [Certain].
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Article 25 of the Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan of 30 April 2023 provides «Ўзбекистон Республикасида ўлим жазоси тақиқланади», in the Russian text «В Республике Узбекистан смертная казнь запрещается» (the death penalty is prohibited in the Republic of Uzbekistan), read in both texts on lex.uz on 3 October 2026 [Certain]. Pregabalin falls under the potent substance articles that Law ZRU-1151 added in June 2026, not under article 273 or 276, which reach narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and their analogues [Certain]. Administrative Code article 56-3 punishes making, acquiring, keeping, carrying or sending a special category potent substance that is not a narcotic drug, psychotropic substance or analogue, without intent to sell, with confiscation and a fine of one to two times the base calculation amount or administrative arrest of up to fifteen days, and releases a person who comes forward and hands it over [Certain]. Criminal Code article 276-8 punishes the same conduct «ўша ҳаракатлар учун маъмурий жазо қўлланилганидан кейин» (after an administrative penalty for the same acts) with a fine of up to fifty times the base calculation amount, up to three hundred and sixty hours of community work, up to three years of correctional labour, one to three years of restricted liberty or up to three years of deprivation of liberty, and part two sets three to five years where the acts are done «кўп миқдорда» or by a repeat offender [Certain]. Whether part two also needs the prior administrative penalty that part one requires is a question of reading that the text does not settle, and this cell does not decide it. Article 276-6 punishes keeping, carrying or selling a potent substance with intent to sell by two to three years of correctional labour or three to five years of restricted liberty or deprivation of liberty, five to ten years with aggravations, and ten to fifteen years for an especially dangerous recidivist, an organised group or a large amount [Certain]. Administrative Code article 187-1 punishes using a potent substance in a public place, except on prescription for medical purposes, with a fine of twenty to forty times the base calculation amount or arrest of up to fifteen days [Certain]. Row 55 prints «10» in the column headed «Жиноий ҳаракатни таснифлашда кўп миқдор кўрсаткичлари (граммдан юқори)» (indicators of a large amount for classifying a criminal act, above the gram figure) [Certain]. That figure is the line for a large amount, not an allowance. The note to the list adds that for dosage forms, mixtures and solutions the large amount is set «умумий миқдордан келиб чиққан ҳолда» (from the total amount) without calculating the active substance, so on this reading the weight of the capsules or tablets counts, not only their pregabalin content [Likely]. Resolution 359, in force from 12 January 2027, changes only agency names in Resolution 818 and leaves row 55 as it stands [Certain].
If prescribed / medical: Pregabalin may be dispensed only through pharmacies licensed for narcotic or psychotropic drugs, under the footnote to row 55 [Certain]. Criminal Code article 276-12 also punishes breaches of the order of prescription retail sale of medicines containing potent substances, which binds the seller rather than the patient [Certain].
Documentation: No traveller allowance for potent substances was found. The transit patient rules in annex 3 to Resolution No. 472 of 2003 and, from 12 January 2027, annex 5 to Resolution 359 name only List II and List III substances, and pregabalin is in neither [Certain]. Carrying it without a basis is the conduct article 56-3 punishes, so carry the original packaging, the prescription and a doctor's letter, and confirm with the embassy before travel [Likely].

Psilocybin

Legal status: Controlled in Uzbekistan. Psilocybin is named in its own row of the quantity annexes to Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 330 of 12 November 2015. The dossier quotes that row in the Russian official version as «Псилоцибин» (psilocybin), with three threshold cells: «0,01 g»; «0,01 to 0,05 g»; «>0,05 g». The row was checked on 18 September 2026. The dossier does not record which of the resolution's controlled Lists I to IV carries the substance, so this cell names none of them.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. The dossier quotes article 25 of the Constitution: «В Республике Узбекистан смертная казнь запрещается» (the death penalty is prohibited in the Republic of Uzbekistan). It gives the statutory ceiling for drug offences as twenty years, quoting Criminal Code article 273(5): «наказывается лишением свободы от десяти до двадцати лет» (punishable by deprivation of liberty for ten to twenty years). For psilocybin the quantity annex prints the threshold cells «0,01 g», «0,01 to 0,05 g» and «>0,05 g». The dossier's preamble says the resolution prints small, exceeding small and large quantities, but the row does not label its three cells, so this cell does not say which category or offence band each figure opens. The row quotes no article for possession, supply, sale, import, export, manufacture or cultivation of psilocybin other than the twenty year ceiling in article 273(5). The previous version of this page, citing a secondary source, the UNODC legal library copy of Criminal Code articles 270 to 276, stated the bands for illegal handling of narcotics as up to 5 years, 5 to 10 years for aggravated forms committed by a group or involving large amounts, and 10 to 20 years for an organised group, and named the Law on Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances alongside the Code. It tied each band to the Code as a whole rather than to a sub-article. The dossier quotes only article 273(5), ten to twenty years, and does not contradict the other bands; they are carried forward from the previous cell and were not re-read in this pass.
If prescribed / medical: The dossier row this cell rests on does not state a prescription or medical route for psilocybin, and this cell states none.
Documentation: The dossier row this cell rests on does not state an import permit, a traveller allowance or any other documentation rule for psilocybin. The dossier row records one URL, https://lex.uz/docs/2815342. The dossier's source and access record gives https://lex.uz/docs/111453 as its penal source, cited here for the Criminal Code. It gives no URL for the Constitution, which is cited by name.

Synthetic Cannabinoids (K2 / Spice)

Legal status: Controlled in Uzbekistan compound by compound, not as a whole class.

A compound not named in the block is reached only through the isomer, ester or salt clauses of the List I note, or as an analogue under article 3 of Law No. 813-I, which defines analogues as substances «кимёвий тузилиши ва хоссаларига кўра гиёҳвандлик воситалари ва психотроп моддаларга ўхшаш» (similar in chemical structure and properties to narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances), and article 5 prohibits their circulation [Certain]. Whether a given product is an analogue is decided case by case [Likely].
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Article 25 of the Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan of 30 April 2023 provides «Ўзбекистон Республикасида ўлим жазоси тақиқланади», in the Russian text «В Республике Узбекистан смертная казнь запрещается» (the death penalty is prohibited in the Republic of Uzbekistan), read in both texts on lex.uz on 3 October 2026 [Certain]. Every named synthetic cannabinoid row in List I prints «0,1», a range from 0,1 to 0,5 and «0,5» grams [Certain]. The List I note sets the amounts of an analogue «такие же, как для наркотических средств, аналогом которых они являются» (the same as for the drug of which it is an analogue) [Certain]. The drug offences sit in articles 270 to 276 and 276-1 to 276-8 of the Criminal Code, several of them restated by Law ZRU-1151 of 11 June 2026, published on 12 June 2026, and the Code was read in that version [Certain]. Article 276 punishes making, keeping, acquiring, carrying or sending narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances or their analogues without intent to sell with a fine of up to fifty times the base calculation amount, up to three hundred and sixty hours of compulsory community work, up to three years of correctional labour, one to three years of restricted liberty or up to three years of deprivation of liberty, and with three to five years where it is done «кўп миқдорда» (in a large amount) or by a repeat offender [Certain].

Twenty years is the highest term in articles 270 to 276 as read [Certain]. Below the criminal level, Administrative Code article 56, restated by the same law, punishes the same conduct without intent to sell in a small amount («оз миқдорда») with confiscation and a fine of one to two times the base calculation amount or administrative arrest of up to fifteen days, and article 187-1 punishes use in a public place with a fine of twenty to forty times the base calculation amount or arrest of up to fifteen days, except use on prescription for medical purposes [Certain]. Resolution 330 is repealed from 12 January 2027 by Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 359 of 2 July 2026, published on 11 July 2026, whose paragraph 7 brings it into force six months after official publication and whose annex 10 lists Resolution 330 among the repealed acts; lex.uz records the entry into force as 12.01.2027 [Certain]. Resolution 359 extends the block, adding named compounds such as MDMB-4en-PINACA at row 316, ADB-BUTINACA at row 317 and 4F-MDMB-BUTINACA at row 311 [Certain].
If prescribed / medical: No medical use route exists for List I synthetic cannabinoids [Certain].
Documentation: No traveller route exists. A product sold abroad as herbal incense or a vape may contain a listed compound, and the List I note brings all mixtures containing a listed drug under control whatever the quantity [Certain].

Tobacco

Legal status: Legal for adults in Uzbekistan, with an age limit of twenty one and a ban on some forms. Tobacco is not a controlled drug: it is not named in Lists I to IV of Resolution 330 or in the potent substance list of Resolution No. 818, read on 3 October 2026, and that does not rule out a later amendment [Certain]. Article 21 of Law ZRU-844 of 24 May 2023 forbids selling tobacco products «йигирма бир ёшга тўлмаган шахсларга» (to persons under twenty one) [Certain]. Since 1 March 2026 article 37 bans non smoked tobacco such as tobacco snus, and every e-cigarette, from import and possession, with an exception for nasvay inside the country [Certain].
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none.

It gives the statutory ceiling for drug offences as twenty years, quoting Criminal Code article 273(5): «наказывается лишением свободы от десяти до двадцати лет» (punishable by deprivation of liberty for ten to twenty years). For alprazolam the quantity annex prints the threshold cells «0,003 g», «0,003 to 0,03 g» and «>0,03 g». The dossier's preamble says the resolution prints small, exceeding small and large quantities, but the row does not label its three cells, so this cell does not say which category or offence band each figure opens. The row quotes no article for possession, supply, sale, import, export, manufacture or cultivation of alprazolam other than the twenty year ceiling in article 273(5).
If prescribed / medical: The dossier row this cell rests on does not state a prescription or medical route for alprazolam, and this cell states none.
Documentation: The dossier row this cell rests on does not state an import permit, a traveller allowance or any other documentation rule for alprazolam. The dossier row records one URL, https://lex.uz/docs/2815342. The dossier's source and access record gives https://lex.uz/docs/111453 as its penal source, cited here for the Criminal Code. It gives no URL for the Constitution, which is cited by name.

Zolpidem

Legal status: Controlled in Uzbekistan. Zolpidem is named in its own row of the quantity annexes to Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 330 of 12 November 2015. The dossier quotes that row in the Russian official version as «Золпидем (INN)» (zolpidem (INN)), with three threshold cells: «0,06 g»; «0,06 to 0,6 g»; «>0,6 g». The row was checked on 18 September 2026. The dossier does not record which of the resolution's controlled Lists I to IV carries the substance, so this cell names none of them.
