The principle of legality is key to maintaining legal certainty and guaranteeing the rights of citizens. This study uses a normative legal method with a legislative approach and case studies, specifically the Blue Safir case. In this study, the application of the principle of legality can be ignored by referring to expert testimony that equates the effects of Blue Safir with cathinone, a compound regulated in Minister of Health Regulation No. 13 of 2014. Therefore, responsive legal reform is needed to address the development of NPS, given the technological advances that have led to a legal vacuum. In conclusion, the principle of legality can be disregarded with far-reaching consequences, and legal reform is necessary. Therefore, a new, broad regulation on narcotics is needed, given that developments will continue to occur, in order to address this legal vacuum.
