Abstract

The goal wants to be achieved in criminal law policy through the Law of Indonesian Republic number 35 year 2009 about narcotics is to place the narcotic users as the victims who must be rehabilitated both medical and social, not placed as the criminal and give the punishment and entered in jail or prison, so the narcotic law judge that is given absolute authority to punish the rehabilitation to narcotics abuse case. With the provision of Article 54 of the Law of the Indonesian Republic Number 35 Year 2009 concerning narcotics, apparently in its implementation there is no guarantee of rehabilitation of abusers, addicts and victims of Narcotics abuse, in other words there are still many abusers, addicts, and victims of narcotics abuse who still get criminal sentences in the form of prison. Based on this fact, Article 127 paragraph (1) of the law of Indonesian Republic No. 35/2009 concerning narcotics needs to be reformulated through depinalization in order to create legal certainty and social justice as mandated in the narcotics law.
