Cannabis / THC in Yemen, full detail →

Cathinone

Legal status: Split status — cathinone (khat's natural principal alkaloid) is a 1971 Convention SCHEDULE I psychotropic, and as a 1971 party Yemen's psychotropics control extends to the isolated alkaloid. This is the sharpest illustration of the parent/plant distinction: the khat PLANT (Catha edulis leaf) is a LICIT, mainstream, government-taxed commodity chewed daily, whereas pure cathinone extracted from it is a treaty-scheduled Sch-I psychotropic, not a licit article of trade. It is also DISTINCT from the synthetic cathinones (mephedrone etc.) derived from it; cathine, khat's milder degradation product, sits in the lesser 1971 Schedule III.
Consequences if caught: No offence attaches to chewing or trading the khat leaf domestically; the isolated alkaloid, by contrast, is a scheduled psychotropic with no lawful commerce. No realistic capital exposure.
If prescribed / medical: Isolated cathinone is a 1971 Schedule I substance with no accepted medical use and no prescription route; the leaf itself is chewed as a licit stimulant with no medical framework.
Documentation: The leaf is legal and ubiquitous inside Yemen, but never carry any khat or cathinone OUT — the alkaloid is a Schedule-I psychotropic and the leaf is a controlled narcotic in every neighbouring state.

CBD

Legal status: CBD (cannabidiol) is controlled as cannabis under the Law on Control of Narcotics and Psychotropic Substances — all forms of cannabis are illegal, including medical use, with no hemp/CBD carve-out or THC threshold.
Consequences if caught: Fines and lengthy imprisonment apply with strict enforcement; Article 34 imposes death or 25 years for trafficking-intent possession/transport/sale, so a personal CBD item is charged as possession and CBD-specific capital exposure is left to confirmation.
If prescribed / medical: There is none.
Documentation: No documentation legalises CBD — controlled as cannabis, with no prescription route.

If prescribed / medical: Dispensed as a scheduled psychotropic prescription medicine.
Documentation: Carry a prescription and original packaging; confirm import rules where possible before travel.

Documentation: Import authorisation is nominally required but wartime breakdown leaves no reliable channel - carry full documentation.

Crack Cocaine

Legal status: Crack is the freebase (base) form of cocaine and has no separate legal identity in Yemen: it is controlled AS cocaine under Law No. 3 of 1993, whose schedule covers cocaine, its salts and preparations and thus reaches the base/freebase form. The capital trafficking regime (Art 34) carries over to crack whether powder or base.
Consequences if caught: Trafficking or cultivation with intent involving crack (as cocaine) is punishable by death or 25 years (Art 34); possession not for trafficking draws a lesser penalty.
If prescribed / medical: Cocaine has no recognised therapeutic use in Yemen; the crack/freebase base has no medicinal preparation and cannot be prescribed.
Documentation: No prescription documentation exists for crack/freebase cocaine.

Distinct from cannabis, prohibited (death or 25 years for trafficking/cultivation with intent, Art. 34). The capital reach of a pure delta-8 isomer is left to confirmation.
Consequences if caught: Zero tolerance; trafficking/cultivation with intent is death-eligible or 25 years; lesser possession a lower penalty.
If prescribed / medical: No recognised medical use; delta-8-THC is not a prescribable medicine.
Documentation: No lawful personal import of a controlled tetrahydrocannabinol.

Ephedrine

Legal status: Regulated as a chemical PRECURSOR (1988 UN Convention Table I — a methamphetamine precursor), NOT as a scheduled narcotic; a Schedule III precursor under the Law on Control of Narcotics and Psychotropic Substances.
Consequences if caught: No capital exposure — Schedule III precursor offences carry a maximum of ~1 year (not death); the death penalty is reserved for trafficking narcotic substances. (Wartime divided jurisdiction adds practical uncertainty.)

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 — Yemen prohibits MDMA under Law No. 3 of 1993 on the Control of Illicit Trafficking in and Abuse of Narcotics and Psychotropics, 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. 3 of 1993 where trafficking or cultivation with intent is punishable by death or 25 years (Art 34); possession not for trafficking 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.
