Indonesia

Possession, use or trafficking of illegal drugs in Indonesia is severely punished, even for small amounts.

Heavy fines, long jail sentences, or the death penalty.

Marijuana, cannabis, hash, edibles and products containing CBD or THC are illegal in Indonesia, even with a medical prescription.

Possession can lead to arrest, imprisonment, fines, deportation, or the death penalty.

Some prescription medications legal in the US, including those for ADHD, are illegal in Indonesia, and any drug may be treated as an illegal narcotic.

Detention or arrest; only hand-carry medication in original packaging with a copy of the prescription.

Serious illnesses and deaths have been reported from drink-spiking and methanol-contaminated alcohol, especially in clubs and nightspots in Bali, Lombok, the Gili Islands, and Sumatra.

Health hazard — methanol poisoning can be fatal; watch drinks being poured and never leave them unattended.

LGB conduct is not illegal nationally, but some local governments criminalize it, and a revised criminal code effective January 2026 penalizes cohabitation and sex outside marriage, with unclear implementation.

No national penalty, but local laws and the 2026 code create legal risk
