Is 3-MMC legal in Indonesia?
- Legal status
- 3-MMC (3-methylmethcathinone) is controlled as a synthetic cathinone: cathinones (e.g. 4-MMC/mephedrone, methcathinone) sit in Narkotika Golongan I under UU 35/2009 (governed by Permenkes updates), and 3-MMC is reached by that class; the specific 3-MMC Golongan I entry is left to confirmation.
- Consequences if caught
- Golongan I trafficking under UU 35/2009 is DEATH-ELIGIBLE — if 3-MMC is treated as a named Golongan I cathinone, trafficking carries capital exposure. Treat as EXTREME-risk.
- If prescribed or medical
- Golongan I: no recognised medical use and no lawful prescription route.
- Documentation
- No lawful personal-import route; extreme enforcement risk for a Golongan I narcotic.
