The short answer
Last reviewed: August 6, 2026
CBD in Indonesia is illegal and treated as a Group I narcotic alongside cannabis under Law No. 35 of 2009 and its narcotics schedules, most recently updated by Minister of Health Regulation No. 7 of 2025, which keep cannabis-derived substances in Group I. The Badan Pengawas Obat dan Makanan (BPOM, Food and Drug Authority) does not authorise CBD products for consumer or pharmaceutical use, and there is no compassionate-use pathway in operation.
Constitutional Court Decision No. 106/PUU-XVIII/2020, issued in July 2022, rejected a petition by parents of children with cerebral palsy seeking access to medical cannabis, directing the government to conduct further research instead; a renewed petition was likewise rejected in Decision No. 13/PUU-XXII/2024 (March 2024). As of 2026, no medical cannabis or CBD framework has been enacted. Travellers and importers carrying CBD products — including products lawfully purchased abroad — face criminal prosecution and lengthy custodial sentences.
