Abstract

This research showed that Law of the Republic of Indonesia on Narcotics has not been able to actualize its legal objectives, particularly for narcotics users, considering that they are only ideally given rehabilitation sanctions, both medically and socially. On the other hand, they are not subject to criminal sanctions, in which it becomes the main legal sanctions. Besides, they get sentenced by the judges who use articles for narcotics traffickers in handling the crimes. Therefore, it is necessary to reformulate the right policies to manage the crimes in narcotics by providing legal certainty between the users and the traffickers, so they have a positive correlation with the way the judges decide cases based on legal certainty.
