Abstract
Narcotics abuse is still a serious threat in Indonesia and is still a serious threat and is considered a dangerous crime, detrimental to the character and physique of the younger generation and society. This crime is also related to several other crimes, such as stealing, robbing, and money laundering. Narcotics crimes increase every year. Therefore, punishment for narcotics users is considered ineffective and requires other legal measures. This journal explains that prison sanctions do not have a deterrent effect, therefore the sanctions must include medical treatment and social rehabilitation. This means a double-track system of equality between criminal sanctions and treatment sanctions stipulated by the Indonesian Law on Narcotics, while the Judge has the right to decide.
