Is Oxycodone legal in Aceh (Indonesia)?
- Legal status
- Oxycodone is governed in Aceh by national law as a Narkotika Golongan II substance (Law No. 35/2009) — a controlled strong opioid, death-eligible for trafficking above 5 g under Arts. 118(2)/119(2); the sharia Qanun Jinayat has no narcotics provisions.
- Consequences if caught
- National-law penalties apply: unlawful possession draws imprisonment and Golongan II trafficking above 5 g is death-eligible (Arts. 118(2)/119(2), Law No. 35/2009); the Qanun's caning targets alcohol/morality, not oxycodone.
- If prescribed or medical
- Dispensed as a Golongan II narcotic on a controlled prescription (national law).
- Documentation
- Carry a prescription and original packaging and declare controlled medicines.
