Abstract

Drug abuse in Indonesia continues to increase, especially among adolescents and young adults in medium-sized urban areas. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of distribution and evaluate the role of strategic intelligence in handling it. The method used is a qualitative literature study from scientific journals, policy reports, and secondary data. The main factors of abuse include socio-economic pressures, weak pharmaceutical supervision, and misuse of digital technology by illegal networks. Regions such as West Java, East Kalimantan, and South Sulawesi recorded a significant spike in cases. The impacts include health problems, increased crime, and economic burdens. Government policies have been directed at strengthening regulations and cross-agency cooperation, but still face obstacles such as limited technology and sector coordination. This study recommends the use of strategic intelligence based on big data and geospatial data to detect distribution patterns and support prevention and rehabilitation. The conclusion emphasizes the need for a cross-sectoral and evidence-based approach to formulate more adaptive and sustainable policies.
