Various types of narcotics circulate in Indonesia, both organic and synthetic.

This is evident from drug trafficking cases successfully uncovered by the authorities.

According to data from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), during the 2018-2022 period, the volume of narcotics seized in Indonesia reached 597,000 kilograms.

Approximately 538,000 kilograms, or 90%, of this was cannabis, including cannabis plants and seeds, dried cannabis, cannabis resin/hashish, and cannabis oil.

Other narcotics frequently uncovered in Indonesia are amphetamines and their derivatives, such as methamphetamine.

During the 2018-2022 period, seizures of amphetamines and methamphetamine reached 54,000 kilograms.

Next are ecstasy pills and powder, synthetic cannabinoids, and new psychoactive substances (NPS), which are new psychoactive substances not yet regulated under international drug conventions.

There have also been seizures of trafficked tranquilizers, such as benzodiazepines, alprazolam, xanax, and others.

This is followed by opioids, such as heroin and others; cocaine and its derivatives, such as crack; and hallucinogenic narcotics like Dimethyltryptamine (DMT), with seizure volumes as shown in the graph.

According to the National Narcotics Agency (BNN), DMT can produce very strong hallucinations even when consumed in low doses.
