Drug-Related Offenses
With the government listing etomidate ("space oil drugs") and its three analogues (metomidate, propoxate and isopropoxate) as dangerous drugs from February 14, 2025, the legal consequences have become increasingly severe. Under the Dangerous Drugs Ordinance (DDO), trafficking and illicit manufacturing of these substances can lead to life imprisonment and a fine of HK$5 million, while possession and consumption can result in up to seven years' imprisonment and a fine of HK$1 million.
