Crack Cocaine

Legal status: Crack is the freebase (base) form of cocaine and has no separate legal identity in Indonesia: it is controlled AS cocaine, a Group I (Golongan I) narcotic with no therapeutic use under Law No. 35 of 2009, whose schedule covers cocaine, its salts and preparations and thus reaches the base/freebase form.

Golongan I trafficking is capital-eligible, but the death thresholds are weight-based, so the capital reach of a pure delta-8 isomer is left to confirmation.

If prescribed / medical: No recognised medical use; Golongan I bars medical use — no lawful prescription route.
Documentation: No lawful personal import; trafficking carries capital exposure.

Methaqualone (Quaaludes)

Legal status: Methaqualone (metakualon) is a Psikotropika Golongan II under Law No. 5 of 1997 on Psychotropics — Indonesia controls it under the psychotropics statute, NOT the Narcotics Law No. 35/2009; this is the named transposition of its 1971 Convention Schedule II status, though methaqualone has no marketed medical use despite the category's 'therapeutic' label.
Consequences if caught: Unlawful production, trafficking or possession is penalised under Law No. 5/1997 with multi-year imprisonment and fines; Indonesia's wider drug enforcement is severe, though the death penalty attaches to Narcotics-Law Golongan I trafficking rather than to psychotropics like methaqualone.
If prescribed / medical: No recognised medical use / withdrawn — methaqualone is not marketed as a medicine in Indonesia.
Documentation: No medical or traveller route; there is no lawful prescription supply.

Methylone

Legal status: Controlled — methylone is a Narkotika Golongan I substance under Law No. 35/2009 (reinforced by Permenkes updates listing synthetic cathinones); originally reached by analogical interpretation as a cathinone/methcathinone derivative, later NAMED via Permenkes NPS additions. Capital-ELIGIBLE.
Consequences if caught: Zero tolerance. Golongan I trafficking/production (arts. 113–114) is death-eligible; Indonesia actively sentences drug traffickers to death; methylone falls within that class.
If prescribed / medical: No recognised medical use; Golongan I bars medical use — no lawful prescription route.
Documentation: No lawful personal import; trafficking carries capital exposure.

Methylphenidate

Legal status: Psikotropika Golongan II ('Metilfenidat') under the Psychotropics Law No. 5/1997 — legally available by prescription; NOT Narkotika Golongan I (that is amphetamine).
Consequences if caught: Illicit dealing is penalised under the Psychotropics Law; no capital exposure (the death penalty applies to Narkotika Golongan I, which methylphenidate is not).
If prescribed / medical: Prescription ADHD/narcolepsy medicine (e.g. Ritalin/Concerta) via controlled channels; carry the original prescription and any required import permit.

Mitragynine

Legal status: Neither mitragynine nor kratom is scheduled as a narcotic in Indonesia: mitragynine, the principal alkaloid of kratom, shares the plant's status as a legal, regulated trade commodity (Permendag 20/2024 and 21/2024, in force 29 Sep 2024) — BNN's 2022 push for Schedule I was not adopted; BPOM bars use only in medicines/supplements.
Consequences if caught: No narcotics penalty attaches to the alkaloid; kratom is a regulated legal commodity, not a scheduled drug.
If prescribed / medical: No BPOM-registered kratom or alkaloid medicine exists; use in medicines/supplements is barred, but the plant may be grown, processed and exported.
Documentation: No narcotics import controls apply; kratom is a lawful trade commodity subject to trade (not drug) regulation.

Modafinil

Legal status: Prescription/hard medicine (obat keras) — NOT scheduled narkotika (Law 35/2009) or psikotropika (Law 5/1997).
Consequences if caught: Import without a permit is an unregistered-medicine/customs offence; no narcotics-trafficking (capital) exposure.
If prescribed / medical: Carry the prescription; import needs a BPOM permit.
Documentation: Original prescription stating your name, the medication, dosage, and purpose; a doctor's letter; original packaging; declare on the customs form. Prescriptions for more than 14 days may not be honoured. Foreign origin or ignorance of the law is not a defence, and the zero-tolerance regime applies equally to foreigners.

Morphine

Oxycodone

Legal status: Oxycodone is a Narkotika Golongan II substance under Narcotics Law No. 35/2009 — a controlled strong opioid that is death-eligible: Golongan II trafficking is capital above 5 g (non-plant weight) under Arts. 118(2)/119(2).
Consequences if caught: Unlawful possession or supply draws multi-year imprisonment; trafficking of a Golongan II narcotic above 5 g is death-eligible under Arts. 118(2)/119(2) of Law No. 35/2009.
If prescribed / medical: Dispensed as a Golongan II narcotic on a controlled prescription; import is tightly regulated by BPOM.
Documentation: Carry a prescription and original packaging and declare controlled medicines; confirm import rules with BPOM before travel.

PCP

Legal status: Prohibited — Group I narcotic, no therapeutic use (Law No. 35 of 2009)
Consequences if caught: Group I narcotics have no therapeutic use and are fully prohibited. Producing, importing, transferring, or selling more than 1 kg of cannabis or 5 g of methamphetamine/heroin can carry the death penalty (Art. 113). Possession of even small amounts of a Group I substance is punishable by 4–12 years' imprisonment.

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 lists MDMA as a Golongan I (Category I) narcotic with no therapeutic use under Narcotics Law No. 35 of 2009 while ketamine is a non-narcotic controlled medicine, and the law reaches any preparation containing a narcotic. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled component, so an MDMA-containing tusi sample carries Golongan I capital exposure.
Consequences if caught: An MDMA-positive mixture is a Category I narcotics offence where large-scale trafficking is death-eligible under Law 35/2009; a ketamine-only mixture is a controlled-medicine offence carrying lesser penalties.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of the mixture; ketamine is a controlled medicine, whereas MDMA is a Golongan 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 is unknowable at purchase.

Pregabalin

Legal status: Pregabalin is a prescription-only 'hard drug' (Obat Keras) in Indonesia and is NOT a narcotic (Law 35/2009) or psychotropic — so it sits outside the golongan lists that carry capital penalties; it is a prescription medicine subject to BPOM monitoring rather than a controlled narcotic.
Consequences if caught: Distribution outside the prescription/BPOM framework is penalised under the medicines regime; pregabalin is not death-eligible.
If prescribed / medical: Dispensed as a prescription-only hard drug (Obat Keras).
Documentation: Bring a personal supply with a prescription and doctor's letter and declare controlled medicines on entry.

Synthetic Cannabinoids (K2 / Spice)

Legal status: Controlled as Narkotika Golongan I. Synthetic cannabinoids (e.g. JWH-018, XLR-11, and a 2020 batch adding MDMB-FUBINACA, 4F-MDMB-BINACA, 5F-MN-24 and others) are listed by name as Golongan I via Ministry of Health regulations under Law 35/2009. They are capital-exposed: under Law 35/2009 arts. 113/114, producing, importing or trafficking non-plant Golongan I narcotics above 5 grams is death-eligible.
Consequences if caught: Illegal as Golongan I; trafficking above 5 grams is death-eligible, with lesser quantities carrying long imprisonment. Do NOT carry.
If prescribed / medical: These synthetic cannabinoids have no recognised medical use and no lawful prescription route in Indonesia (Golongan I bars medical use).
Documentation: No lawful personal-import route for Golongan I synthetic cannabinoids; trafficking is death-eligible, do not carry.

Tramadol

Legal status: Tramadol is regulated as an Obat-Obat Tertentu (OOT) under BPOM Regulation 10/2019 and as a prescription-only 'hard drug' (Obat Keras); it is NOT a narcotic (Law 35/2009) or psychotropic, so it sits outside the golongan lists that carry capital penalties.
Consequences if caught: Distribution outside the OOT/prescription regime is penalised under the BPOM framework; tramadol is not death-eligible.
If prescribed / medical: Dispensed as a prescription-only OOT medicine.
Documentation: Bring a personal supply with a prescription and doctor's letter (unlike narcotics, this is generally allowed) and declare controlled medicines.

Consequences if caught: Unlawful possession without a prescription up to 5 years and/or Rp 100 million (Pasal 62). Indonesia's death penalty applies only to Narkotika Golongan I (heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, cannabis) under Law No. 35/2009 — benzodiazepines are not death-eligible.
If prescribed / medical: Dispensed as a Golongan IV psychotropic prescription medicine.
Documentation: Carry a prescription and original packaging; declare controlled medicines and confirm import rules with BPOM.

Zolpidem

Legal status: Zolpidem is a controlled psychotropic prescription hypnotic in Indonesia (psikotropika), transposing its 1971 Convention Schedule IV status; sleeping medicines of this class are dispensed only on prescription and are tightly controlled.
Consequences if caught: Unauthorised import or supply of this scheduled psychotropic is an offence under Indonesia's psychotropics/narcotics laws, which carry severe penalties; travellers have been caught bringing in sleeping pills without authorisation.
If prescribed / medical: Zolpidem is prescribed short-term for insomnia as a controlled psychotropic hypnotic.
Documentation: A traveller should carry prescribed zolpidem with a prescription/medical certificate and may need import authorisation; unauthorised carriage of prescription sedatives is treated harshly.
