Woo! Now let's see some drugs become legalized here in the states. Roll Eyes

Fake News Network aside, this is finally a subject I agree with you on. The drug war is a failure. We need legalization, standardization, and medical treatment of addiction, not criminal treatment.

In all my life, there has been only one instance where the war on drugs actually worked and it was the President of the Philippines Dueterte who was able to make it work. And I say if we really want to win the war on drugs that's the only way to.

Well, to begin with there are still a lot of lapses in this War on Drugs campaign set by the Duterte administration. It's actually not a success nor a failure hence a work in progress. Duterte's campaign is indeed a great plan although this campaign has also been re-directed by false information and some of the corrupt authorities did took advantage on some of the lapses of this campaign.

*OPLAN TOKHANG - Is it really successful? Well, It somehow lessen the crime related incident but the count of deaths did rose. Why? Our authorities did took advantage of it, Even though a lot of the killings were legitimate there are still numbers of incident in which the cops cannot provide concrete evidences to support their claim, in which they come to the point the cops do plant evidences (It has been a norm here in the Philippines, it has been a practice) to avoid the possible violations.

Also, Please note that even President Duterte did say that the Drug industry in the Philippines is Big as he could have imagined. So saying that, We already won the War on Drugs, Nah, We are still so far from winning.

In addition, The drug industry here in the Philippines is held by some of our Politicians. So, technically, when President Duterte's term ends, No wonder that this Hoodlums would literally take over and continue on with their businesses.

The campaign is only making them less productive not to end them. (As much I and a lot of Filipinos want to but it's the sad reality, This drug industry can't be stopped.)

PS: I'm not against nor pro Duterte, hence I'm just an ordinary citizen, enjoying a can of tuna with rice while watching "Ang probinsyano" (Local primetime TV show) Cheesy
