Law and Human Rights Ministry is mulling issuing a regulation in which people caught in the possession of less than 1 gram of narcotics will not be sent to prison.
“But if they are drug traffickers ... no mercy,” Minister Patrialis Akbar said on Thursday as quoted by kompas.com.
The new ruling will be included in a planned 2011 government regulation that will oblige drug users to report to the police.
The ministry and the National Narcotics Agency (BNN) are currently in talks regarding the planned regulation.
Both institutions have agreed to not criminalize drug users found to have less than 1 gram of narcotics in their possession. They will instead be sent to rehabilitation centers.
Patrialis said he hoped the regulation could be enacted this year.
