Is Methylone legal in Aceh (Indonesia)?
- Legal status
- Controlled — methylone is a Narkotika Golongan I substance under national Law No. 35/2009; narcotics are prosecuted under national law, NOT the Aceh Qanun Jinayat (which covers alcohol/gambling/khalwat, not narcotics). Same mechanism as Indonesia. Capital-ELIGIBLE under national law.
- Consequences if caught
- Zero tolerance; the national Golongan I trafficking death penalty (arts. 113–114) applies. The Sharia qanun does not add a separate drug-death track.
- If prescribed or medical
- No recognised medical use; no lawful prescription route.
- Documentation
- No lawful personal import; national drug-trafficking death penalty applies.
