What about the example of Portugal?
Decriminalazing drugs and letting addicts heal instead of putting them in jail cells

That is never going to work in the Philippines. The public is heavily against any such measure. If Duterte tries to legalize the drugs, then the people will remove him and throw him to prison. Decriminalizing drugs may work in western nations, but not in the Philippines.

Legalizing drugs and decriminalizing them isn't the same

Decriminalization means it's still illegal however with lesser penalites

Quote

Decriminalization or decriminalisation is the lessening of criminal penalties in relation to certain acts, perhaps retroactively, though perhaps regulated permits or fines might still apply (for contrast, see: legalization). The reverse process is criminalization.

Lesser penalties also mean that this could be taking advantage. People just continue to use and sell and kill each other because they arent afraid anymore of the penalties so obviously it becomes useless in the first place

Our president must push through the penalties for those who are drug addicts, criminals, and other who have done wrong things. If our President be like Hitler, criminals will be afraid on doing wrong things, crimes or even drug addicts will stop. We should know what will be the effects on our economy if there is no drug addicts and criminals. This can lead our economy to grow and can compete to the other big countries.
