The Arga Makmur District Court in Bengkulu read verdicts in two cannabis cases on 29 October 2026.[1] M. Santri bin Ujang Sarkawi was sentenced to 10 months in prison and three months of rehabilitation in case 143/Pid.Sus/2026/PN Agm.[1] Kiki Juliansyah bin Ali Nulhakim received the same 10-month term and three months of rehabilitation in case 144/Pid.Sus/2026/PN Agm.[1] Santri had obtained two packets of ganja — Indonesian for cannabis — from a man named Widi Herianto, gave one to Kiki and kept the other for himself.[1] Kiki ordered the cannabis through Santri, transferred Rp100,000 to a Dana e-wallet number Santri gave him, and collected it at Santri’s house on 20 April 2026.[1]
When officers arrested and searched Kiki, they found two rolled joints and two small packets of cannabis weighing 2.37 grams net.[1] Both men were convicted of using Category I narcotics for themselves.[1] The panel was led by Carolina Taruli Vienna.[1] The panel had chosen the self-use charge under Article 127(1)(a) of Indonesia’s 2009 narcotics law.[1] It first pursued the restorative-justice mechanism allowed by Article 204 of the 2025 criminal procedure code.[1]
The National Narcotics Agency (BNN) office in Bengkulu city took the role of the victim party.[1] The mediation produced a written peace agreement dated 10 September 2026.[1] The agreement committed the defendants to medical and social rehabilitation.[1] BNN assessments diagnosed hallucinogen-use disorders in both and recommended three months of inpatient rehabilitation.[1]
The court counted the time both had spent in arrest and detention against their sentences and ordered them to stay in custody.[1] It treated the restorative-justice agreement, their lack of prior convictions and their remorse as mitigating factors.[1]
