Abstract

In recent developments, narcotics crimes constitute a violation of both legal and moral norms. This issue is not new but remains a significant public concern, particularly regarding its impact on the future of the nation's youth. This study employs a normative legal research method with a conceptual and legislative approach. The findings indicate that law enforcement in sentencing drug addicts or users includes not only rehabilitation but also criminal sanctions such as imprisonment. These sanctions aim to deter drug use and mitigate its negative effects on offenders. Furthermore, it is crucial to identify the sources of narcotics distribution, as only through such measures can the circulation of drugs in Indonesia be minimized. The author suggests that in enforcing existing regulations, law enforcement efforts should place greater emphasis on targeting drug dealers. Focusing solely on users will make it challenging to achieve sustainable narcotics eradication in Indonesia.
