Drugs are not common in Indonesia when you compare addiction rates in many other countries, but the police take dealing very seriously, seeing it as a massive problem that needs to be hammered as hard and as quickly as possible.
Even small quantities can see you in prison for a very long time, and importers sometimes watch a firing squad from the dangerous end.
Once again, we see dealers aiming at the tourists.

Thousand Islands Police chief Adj. Sr. Comr. John Weynard Hutagalung said on Friday that both suspects were arrested in their rented house on Jl. Raya Cilincing in North Jakarta, together with 3.22 grams of crystal methamphetamine. John said that the police had not concluded whether the two men were users or dealers.
You are warned (again) - having anything to do with illegal drugs in Indonesia is seriously dangerous.
This was a meth factory in BSD, Tangerang.
I asked a police officer how many years the owner would spend in prison, being told he would get out in a box when he eventually died, with no hope of release before then.
The massive profits he made from the factory were less than useful for him.
