Can you bring cannabis or CBD to Indonesia?

Short answer
Prohibited

  • Cannabis

    prohibited

    Indonesian Customs' own passenger-baggage guidance names 'narkotika' (narcotics) — alongside psychotropics, precursors, and medicines — as a category that triggers mandatory red-lane physical inspection; cannabis (ganja) is classified as a Golongan I (Schedule I, the strictest category) narcotic under Indonesia's Narcotics Law (UU No. 35 Tahun 2009), covering personal possession and import with no traveler exception found on this source. CBD/cannabidiol products are not separately addressed on the pages fetched in this pass and should be treated as covered by the same narcotics prohibition given Indonesia's strict, no-carve-out approach to cannabis-derived products. Indonesia is widely known to impose severe penalties for narcotics offences, up to and including capital punishment for trafficking-level quantities — travelers should not assume any personal-use exception exists.
