Is 3-MMC legal in Aceh (Indonesia)?
Also known as: metaphedrone
- Legal status
- 3-MMC (3-methylmethcathinone) is controlled in Aceh under national narcotics law (UU 35/2009), Aceh's Islamic qanun covers khamr and gambling, not synthetic narcotics, so 3-MMC's status matches Indonesia federal (synthetic cathinone reached by Narkotika Golongan I); the specific listing is left to confirmation.
- Consequences if caught
- Capital exposure: not established for this substance. Aceh (Indonesia) does retain the death penalty for drug offences, under Indonesia's national Narcotics Law No. 35 of 2009, articles 111 to 127, for organised or large scale trafficking of Category I narcotics. What this cell cannot establish is whether that provision reaches this substance: the source read here does not enumerate it and does not supply the entry that would place it. No quantity is stated here because none is established, and a figure carried over from another substance would be an invention. Treat the absence of a stated exposure as an open question rather than as a finding that none exists, and settle it against the current instrument before travelling.
- If prescribed or medical
- Golongan I: no recognised medical use and no lawful prescription route.
- Documentation
- No lawful personal-import route; national narcotics law governs in Aceh.
