The circulation of narcotics, also known as drugs and psychotropic substances, is increasingly rampant in Indonesia. This is because many sources are involved in the narcotics trade in the country.

According to a report by the National Narcotics Agency (BNN), the majority of narcotics users in Indonesia in 2021 obtained narcotics from their immediate environment, namely friends. The percentage reached 88.4%.

The next most common source of narcotics was pharmacies, with a percentage of 7.9%. Then, 1.7% of users obtained marijuana and methamphetamine from traffickers, distributors, or couriers (1.7%).

Furthermore, some users obtained narcotics from their partners (0.5%) and parents (0.2%). Then, the source of narcotics also came from boyfriends/girlfriends and siblings (0.1% each).

Meanwhile, 0.9% of users obtained narcotics from other sources. Cases of narcotics abuse and trafficking not only ensnare the general public but also public officials and police officers.

Most recently, last Friday (October 14, 2022), the Jakarta Metro Police named Inspector General of Police Teddy Minahasa as a suspect for allegedly being involved in the circulation of 5 kilograms of methamphetamine.
