Poppers are legal or a drug? Does it fall under the Narcotics Act or the Medicines Act? Or can it be sold freely? These questions are not only unsettling for gays. As a gay shop, we want to clear things up here.
Firstly: Yes, poppers are legal. They consist of nitrites, which have no potential for abuse or addiction and do not fall under the Medicines Act. Here you can find out from what age the sale and possession of poppers as room fragrances is permitted and much more.
Poppers legal: these are the active ingredients
Poppers traditionally consist of nitrites, such as isopropyl nitrite, as well as fragrances and flavourings. As poppers are mixed with flavourings, they are therefore ideal for use as a room fragrance. These are the reasons why poppers are legal:
- there is no risk of addiction!
- it is freely available for sale, as it does not fall under the Medicines Act.
- it has no hallucinogenic effect!
Due to its physiological effect, “poppers” were in the past categorised by the Federal Ministry of Health (BMG) as a functional drug. A later decision by the European Court of Justice (ECJ, see below) in 2014 cancelled the classification of “poppers” as functional medicinal products. It is now no longer applicable.
The consumption of poppers is legal here
Since poppers are legal, you can buy, store and use it as a room fragrance with impunity. Even though there are no legal restrictions, you should make sure that you use them safely.
Please pay attention to the information on the packaging. Never use poppers if you have problems with your cardiovascular system or suffer from cardiac arrhythmia. Never take it together with Viagra or other sexual enhancers. If you have accidentally drunk it, drink plenty of water immediately and call an ambulance. Important: Do not vomit! This will burn your oesophagus and throat.
