BOGOR, KOMPAS – Narcotics abuse eradication in Indonesia has become more difficult with the incoming of new types of drugs. Eradicating old types of narcotics is already difficult because of varying forms and modes of distribution of drugs. This means added pressure for the country’s drug law enforcement officials.

Data from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) shows that 739 new psychoactive substances (NPS) were found in circulation between 2009 and 2016. The National Narcotics Agency (BNN) had found 68 of these substances in circulation in Indonesia by late 2017.
