Abstract

Drug abuse is still a major threat, even during the Covid-19 pandemic. Drug abuse does not show a decrease amid mobility restrictions. This research seeks to see how drug abuse is carried out during the Covid-19 pandemic in the jurisdiction of Polda Metro Jaya. By using descriptive qualitative research, the results showed that drug abuse during the pandemic was the most common crime committed. The response to the spread of Covid-19 in the form of restrictions on community mobility has had an impact on disrupting the supply chain of the drug market. Drug dealers during the Covid-19 pandemic tried to use other ways to overcome mobility restrictions by diverting transportation to routes they considered less risky, such as black ports. Cannabis is produced locally and distributed via land routes, indications show that this supply chain has not been disrupted by Covid-19. In addition, drug users also show changes in consumption patterns by looking for drugs that are easy to obtain and use, such as liquid vape.
