Indonesia has experienced a significant political shift, described as a 'eucatastrophe,' where student protests have led to the postponement of controversial bills and potential reconsideration of new laws. Despite ongoing challenges and arrests of activists, the protests have temporarily halted the rollback of democratic freedoms, showcasing the power of collective action in the face of political adversity.

In Indonesia, synthetic marijuana known as 'super tobacco' is easily accessible through social media and text messages, despite the country's stringent drug laws. The drug, which contains the compound AB-CHMINACA, has severe effects and has been linked to erratic behavior, including an incident involving a pilot. The National Narcotics Agency and the Ministry of Health are working to regulate the substance, but challenges remain due to the evolving nature of synthetic drugs and the ease of online transactions. Users like Jay and Dwi continue to use super tobacco due to its convenience, despite preferring marijuana.
