Ireland - List of controlled drugs in Rep of Ireland

[Stiney]

I'm guessing I'm not the only Irish user of this website so I thought I'd post this up here in case anyone is curious about the legality of a particular substance, might be of interest to non-irish people looking to compare the laws in different countries also. Actually if people from other countries can track down their relative schedules and post them in this thread, I'll rename it and it might make a good reference point for people.

[Stiney]

List is slightly out of date, one ammendment I'm aware of since then introduced concerning magic mushrooms as follows:

"The effect of this Regulation is to include any substance product or preparation including fungi of any kind or description, containing psilocin or an ester of psilocin (which are commonly described as ‘‘magic mushrooms’’) within the strict regime of control that applies to those drugs in Schedule 1 of the Regulations."

[podge]

Cheers for the info. Oh and with regard to fungus.....magic mushroom spores and normal mushroom grow kits are both legal here .....but it would be illegal to mix the two.....

[malsat]

That's crazy, selegiline is schedule 2? And why don't we have otc dihydrocodeine? I hate our laws.

Are you sure about that, I thought I might have seen OTC DHC/paracetamol tabs before @ 7.46mg DHC per tab. I could be mistaken though..

Thanks very much for this OP, I hadn't noticed it before.

[malsat]

Perhaps we do, but I've never seen any OTC products on the shelves, and using the name Paramol tends to leave pharmacists with confused looks on their faces. Oh, to be back in London...

[podge]

Swims never seen OTC Dihydrocodeine here either, only seen codeine in Nurefon plus.

They are still controlled drugs despite being available from a pharmacy.

This is the case for all of the drugs listed except for Schedule 1. If you were caught with a Schedule 2 drug (for example) without a valid prescription you would be prosecuted.

i get u mate,i was thinkin they were prescription only but then codeine threw me because you can buy it over the counter but yes you cant get it anywhere,it has to be a registered chemists.

thanks for helpin me get that clear in my head.
