Duterte's promise to get rid of drugs 29 days left

[SugoiSenpai]

I think it will not be eradicated completely within that period of time. But as long as drugs are concerned it has greatly decreased in the Philippines and that is a huge progress within that time period of 3-6 months. Let's just keep on supporting Duterte and eventually, the Philippines drug problem will be solved.

Duterte promise to the solve illegal drugs activity in 3-6 months. Can he fullfill his promise? Can he do it in this short period of time. I hope he will be successful at the end of the day. Life must go on. So live our life to the fullest. Its Philippines time so we can work together to change the Philippines for the better country.

Nobody will ever be able to "solve" drug activity. Unless they literally wipe out all of humanity. And Duterte is a criminal.

I don't like so many people getting killed. But that said, I don't think that Duterte had too many choices. He did what needs to be done. You can't combat the drugs problem with awareness alone, especially in a third world nation such as Philippines. So I'd stick to what I have said. Duterte did the right thing in using force against the drug cartels, although some of the deaths could have been avoided.

It's not getting rid of all drugs, uses and users. He literally destroyed the militarisation and industrialisation of drug dealers.
Now after that period new ways of controlling the drug use can be implemented.

There is no problem with drugs. The problem is the criminalization of drugs. If drugs were legal and strictly supplied by the government, there would be no issues with money laundering or crime. Governments know this, but they can make more money by criminalizing drugs, laundering the money to themselves, and by making even more money off of "drug criminals" who are used as slaves.

The smartest people in the world have taken drugs, and quite a few of them have only made their discoveries because of using drugs. Steve Jobs took LSD, the people who created the concept of DNA as a helical structure took LSD, Erdoes (one of the greatest Mathematicians of all time) took amphetamines, the list is endless.

Drugs being perceived as bad, unethical, immoral and dangerous is the result of immoral and deplorable propaganda driven purely by greed and corruption.

Duterte cannot rid the illegal drugs even if its term end, he can only reduce the users of illegal drugs in the philippines ,in his statement that he can rid the illegal drugs in 3 to 6 months is not achieve and it takes another 6 months to do that , but he fails. From that there are many people killed because of illegal drugs , many of them are users and pushers , but the sources are were not that many of them are killed, . And most government officials from the past administration are involved in illegal drugs , and most of them are killed also.

Oh please provide facts and proof for your claim not just hearsay and conspiracy theory. drugs are addictive that will ruin the body

[galestorm]

As much as i hate to say it but duterte cant possibly eliminate all the drug lords and addicts out there especially when there are a lot of them hiding from his sight. Another thing is that the police are being unjust in doing their jobs , some are even willing to kill those that are innocent.. setting them up for the public to know that they are using drugs, but in truth they arent. Police do this act for them to reach their quota for the day.

As far as the prominent people using drugs go, you can literally run a Google search and immediately find the results yourself, even on Wikipedia.

As far as the dangers of drugs are concerned. It's patently false that drugs in general ruin the body and there are countless studies that prove this. A good number of drugs is actually far less harmful than either of tobacco and alcohol, which both are commonly consumed by almost the entire human population.

Here are the facts: https://www.globaldrugsurvey.com/wp-content/themes/globaldrugsurvey/results/GDS2017_key-findings-report_final.pdf

And here is some info from one of the most prominent universities / academic institutions in the whole world, the Imperial College London, which proposes three (currently illegal schedule I) drugs that could transform mental health care, but so far couldn't because of the propaganda driven war on drugs: http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/newsandeventspggrp/imperialcollege/medicine/newssummary/news_10-10-2016-15-46-32

In short, the most widely spread recreational drugs are safer than alcohol and tobacco and cause less damage for the body, the mind and most importantly cost the tax payer the least amounts of money.


Next time go and educate yourself instead of claiming that people who are pointing out deliberate propaganda as heretics or tinfoil hatters. People like you are the exact reason why governments keep fucking the whole population in the rear. You keep sticking it out to them after all.
If you want to read about the facts concerning the government driven propaganda, go and educate yourself on the U.S. President Nixon and research when and for what reasons exactly he started the war on drugs. It's unbelievable that even decades after his heinous crime people are still blind enough to keep eating the lies of a corrupt asshole of a dead man.

Until there's a Political and Powerful perosns that supporting Illegal drugs it will not finish. but if the government support each other for war on drugs it will be done.

[zedkiel08]

I think he can not rid the illegal drugs activities in the philippines. There are many politicians that supports the illegal drugs activities in the country , until there are who supports the illegal drugs , duterte can not solve this problem , even if he takes another term for predisidency ,. Too many people killed in this war on drugs , mostly users and pushers of illegal drugs. And even politicians who are involved in this activity are killed.

[nelsmining]

Big fan of the Man. Duterte is a rock star. Sure he is a little tough but I think it is probably needed at this time.

[Sithara007]

Even if there are politicians who are supporting illegal drugs, they will remain in a dormant state as long as Duterte is in power. But no one can predict what is going to happen after that. Duterte is trying his best to detain the powerful people behind the drug business. But he is having limited success, partly because some of the guys in his own party are also supporting the drug trade.

I think the guy is doing a great job to the country Philippines getting rid of drugs regardless of what time span has given, it doesn't matter.
