Re: What do you think to the president of the Philippines?

Mr. President Rodrigo Duterte does he really do his job to stop drugs within 3 to 6 months?.What do you think?

Rodrigo Duterte is just another retarded politician. He simply doesn't understand that it is impossible to ban drugs. Even in countries such as Saudi Arabia and Singapore, where there is death penalty for drug usage, various types of narcotics such as heroin and LSD are easily available. The best solution is to legalize the drugs and to regulate their trade.

Although I agree that legalization, regulation and decriminalization are good solutions to the illegal drugs epidemic all over he world, but only up to a point. I think Cannabis should definitely be legalized, but not the hard drugs like meth or heroin. Especially in a country like the Philippines where even the poor take these drugs.

I mean, how can you really regulate the hard drugs when an underground market is always there to have these drugs available? And who will be allowed to sell the harder drugs under regulation?

For Cannabis, sure... It's medicinal and beneficial to society, IMO. But I think regulation and legalization of harder drugs needs further study. The Netherlands is not like the Philippines.

Portugal legalized all drugs a few years back. That would be a good model to study for complete world decriminalization.

This is not true!!! In accordance with the Portuguese plan, penalties for the distribution and transportation of drugs remains the same: the dealers are imprisoned and fined, depending on the severity of the crime. And ordinary addicts, caught in the use and possession of small amounts of drugs defined as the ten-day dose of a drug addict now appear before the so-called "Commissions of Rubidine", state commissions, created by law of 2001.
