2C-B

Legal status: Controlled as a Category I narcotic under Indonesia's national Narcotics Law No. the precise article and threshold are left to confirmation against the current law.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: not established for this substance. Aceh (Indonesia) retains 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, and that much is established here. What is not established is this substance's own position under it: the source read here gives neither the article that would carry it nor any quantity at which it would apply. No threshold is stated in this cell because none was established. Do not read the absence of a figure as a safe amount. The country level position is the one to act on, and the substance specific position has to be settled against the current instrument.
If prescribed / medical: Not a prescribed traveller medicine in this form.
Documentation: In Aceh, drugs fall under Indonesia's national Narcotics Law No. 35 of 2009 (Articles 111-127), which applies in the province; Aceh ADDITIONALLY applies the qanun jinayat (Islamic criminal bylaws) imposing caning for certain offences as a corporal-punishment overlay distinct from the national penal regime. Possession and lower-level offences carry imprisonment from 4 years or court-ordered rehabilitation; the precise article and threshold are left to confirmation against the current law.

3-MMC

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 / medical: Golongan I: no recognised medical use and no lawful prescription route.
Documentation: No lawful personal-import route; national narcotics law governs in Aceh.

7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH)

Legal status: Neither 7-hydroxymitragynine nor kratom is scheduled as a narcotic in Aceh: 7-OH, a kratom alkaloid, follows the national Indonesian position (legal regulated commodity), no Aceh-specific provision applies, and the Qanun Jinayat does not reach kratom or its alkaloids.
Consequences if caught: No narcotics penalty attaches to the alkaloid; the Qanun's caning provisions do not cover kratom, and national law treats it as a legal commodity.
If prescribed / medical: No registered kratom or alkaloid medicine exists; use in medicines/supplements is barred nationally, but the plant remains a lawful commodity.
Documentation: No narcotics import controls apply; the national commodity regime governs kratom.

Documentation: In Aceh, drugs fall under Indonesia's national Narcotics Law No. 35 of 2009 (Articles 111-127), which applies in the province; Aceh ADDITIONALLY applies the qanun jinayat (Islamic criminal bylaws) imposing caning for certain offences as a corporal-punishment overlay distinct from the national penal regime.

Alcohol

Legal status: Prohibited (diverges from national Indonesia), under the Qanun Jinayat (Qanun Aceh No. 6 of 2014), alcohol (khamr/ethanol) is a criminalised offence in Sharia law, unlike the rest of Indonesia where it is licensed and regulated.
Consequences if caught: Consuming, producing or selling alcohol is punished by public CANING (a hudud corporal penalty), alongside fines and imprisonment; a Christian woman was caned 28 times in 2016 for selling alcohol, the punishment is corporal, not capital.
If prescribed / medical: n/a, a beverage, not a medicine.
Documentation: No legal retail sale; possession or drinking of alcohol exposes residents and visitors alike to Sharia prosecution and caning. Aceh is the one province where the Qanun overrides national alcohol regulation.

Legal status: Controlled, cathinone (katinona; khat's natural principal alkaloid) is a 1971 Convention SCHEDULE I psychotropic and is a Golongan I narcotic under the NATIONAL Law 35/2009, which governs narcotics in Aceh.

Consequences if caught: National health/pharmacy penalties (imprisonment/fines) apply; neither the national narcotics law (ketamine is non-narcotic) nor the Aceh qanun (which does not reach drugs and has no death penalty) creates capital exposure for ketamine.
If prescribed / medical: Available as a controlled medicine through licensed medical channels.
Documentation: In Aceh, drugs fall under Indonesia's national Narcotics Law No. 35 of 2009 (Articles 111-127), which applies in the province; Aceh ADDITIONALLY applies the qanun jinayat (Islamic criminal bylaws) imposing caning for certain offences as a corporal-punishment overlay distinct from the national penal regime.

Pink Cocaine / Tusi

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents, Indonesia's national Narcotics Law No. 35 of 2009 applies in Aceh, listing MDMA as a Category I narcotic and ketamine as a non-narcotic controlled medicine, while Aceh's Qanun Jinayat does not cover narcotics. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled component, so an MDMA-containing tusi sample carries Category I capital exposure under the national law.
Consequences if caught: An MDMA-positive mixture is a Category I narcotics offence under Articles 111-127 of Law 35/2009, where organized or large-scale trafficking is death-eligible; a ketamine-only mixture is a lesser controlled-medicine offence.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of the mixture; ketamine is a controlled medicine, whereas MDMA is a Category I narcotic with no therapeutic use.
Documentation: Sold as a party powder of unknown makeup; because the blend varies batch to batch, buyers cannot know whether death-eligible MDMA is present, so capital-level legal exposure under the national narcotics law is unknowable at purchase.
