30 Sep 2016 - Can Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte learn anything from Thailand's failed campaign against drugs in the early 2000s?

Indeed, President of the philippines was doing the right things system in His administration.
Actually, since He seated as a President of His country the drug syndicate case, criminality, corruption has been
resolved anyhow. So, everything is now doing good according to His plan.

weed legal prostitution legal ..

Now less girls have babies at a young age why if prostitution is legal?

Weed legal so because weed legal no one will come around with crazy drugs like spice to make them go mental because weed is there and weed as never killed anyone NOT EVER..

And saves police wasting money on locking up people for weed or prostitution ..
So just by legalising those 2 things there jails are empty ..

Now you think they be over run with druggies ..

See if weed available less likely they will try harder drugs because weed and beer gets you smashed so much the room spins ..

When they are ILLEGAL people tend to bring any old shit that gets you high  ..
And then they are hooked on BAD SHIT..instead of GOOD SHIT ..

Antonio Trillanes is the guy who had a disastrous interview with Stephen Sackur of BBC Hardtalk, right? He looks like a buffoon to me. Such people will be present in every country. When someone does something good, these people would like to tarnish him and his work, so that they could gain political mileage out of it.

Well, he is really straightforward with what he wants and tells everyone what he thinks is right, he just doesn't do anything without any consent because he has counsel and I hate the corrupt politicians like Trillanes whose goal is only to destroy his term or to put him away as president. If you think about it, they are only mad because they have under the table deals probably and he's not focusing on the country's problems.

Portugal decriminalised drugs 14 years ago  ...


Portugal decriminalised drugs 14 years ago – and now hardly anyone dies from overdosing
The country has 3 overdose deaths per million citizens, compared to the EU average of 17.3

Among Portuguese adults, there are 3 drug overdose deaths for every 1,000,000 citizens Getty Images
Portugal decriminalised the use of all drugs in 2001. Weed, cocaine, heroin, you name it — Portugal decided to treat possession and use of small quantities of these drugs as a public health issue, not a criminal one. The drugs were still illegal, of course. But now getting caught with them meant a small fine and maybe a referral to a treatment program — not jail time and a criminal record.

Among Portuguese adults, there are 3 drug overdose deaths for every 1,000,000 citizens. Comparable numbers in other countries range from 10.2 per million in the Netherlands to 44.6 per million in the UK, all the way up to 126.8 per million in Estonia. The EU average is 17.3 per million.

Perhaps more significantly, the report notes that the use of "legal highs" – like so-called "synthetic" marijuana, "bath salts" and the like – is lower in Portugal than in any of the other countries for which reliable data exists. This makes a lot of intuitive sense: why bother with fake weed or dangerous designer drugs when you can get the real stuff? This is arguably a positive development for public health in the sense that many of the designer drugs that people develop to skirt existing drug laws have terrible and often deadly side effects.

Drug use and drug deaths are complicated phenomena. They have many underlying causes. Portugal's low death rate can't be attributable solely to decriminalisation. As Dr. Joao Goulao, the architect of the country's decriminalization policy, has said, "it's very difficult to identify a causal link between decriminalisation by itself and the positive tendencies we have seen."

Still, it's very clear that decriminalisation hasn't had the severe consequences that its opponents predicted. As the Transform Drug Policy Institute says in its analysis of Portugal's drug laws, "The reality is that Portugal’s drug situation has improved significantly in several key areas. Most notably, HIV infections and drug-related deaths have decreased, while the dramatic rise in use feared by some has failed to materialise."


THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING ..

No one cares about the language as long as he does the job properly. His popularity ratings are sky high, and only a few corrupt politicians and the drug kingpins are complaining against him. And he should ignore the media. Let them bark.

I think our president is doing a good job on carrying out his duties, however, he's sometimes misunderstood because of the way he talks and how he speaks his mind in public.

It is not possible to achieve good goals by violent means. Duterte sets in the Philippines dictatorship. Now it's too late. Even if Filipinos will open the eyes of the regime simply will not give up power and this will lead to civil strife.

     I don't think that the president had his bad intentions on implementing his rule or law against drugs which is currently being abused in his country, there are too many presidents and terms that had passed and it seems that there is no changes in the case related to illegal drugs, maybe that is his own principle and method to do a game changer which could also open the eyes of the people living in that country.

What you pointing out let the drug rule and do nothing? If you have that mindset you are like a child with less thingking.

I dont know much about kuwait but you cannot compare the Philippines to kuwait. The Philippines is a Christian country and islam is less portion. The terrorists are in those few cities inthe country where large volume of muslims are but not every muslims are terrorist. Real muslims hate terrorism nad follow the law and the beliefs of their religion. Terrorist will never win in this country

the president sure is doing some nice cleaning in his country. He may be misunderstood at time (mostly by media) because of his vulgar way of speaking but his vision for his country is good

Reminds me of Putin. He became the president of Russia, when that country was in deep turmoil. During the last 18 years, Putin has almost singlehandedly restored the super-power status of Russia. Here, Duterte is also singlehandedly eradicating crime and drug addiction in the Philippines, despite the overwhelming odds against him.

Just to take the people circle-jerking to their idol back to reality... It's been more than a month already and they still haven't gotten rid of those terrorists in Marawi. Guys, it's just a year into his term.

I'm not saying he's up to no good but the way his fanatics speak, it's like he's got everything under control, like as if he's capable of solving everything. These must be the most fanatical people I've seen in decades. Guess his propagandists did well splurging most of the campaign money on the social media front.

I know him..
If you know him tell him he will never ever win the drug war..

People can SNIFF PETROL and get high ..

Many many many substances that get you HIGH..

But you tell your president to leave the poor children alone THE ASS HOLE..

The first time I saw this subject, the first thing that comes to my mind is the president of the Philippines and I was correct.  A beautiful disaster for the Philippines is having our very own President Duterte. A beautiful disaster for me is having through hardship but at the end is gaining a wonderful and satisfying result.I know many of the residents in the Philippines voted and still didn't like President Du30 as he reigns the our country now through the Anti-Drugs campaign. Don't get me wrong, I am pro Anti-drugs campaign. I just want to make things clear that President Duterte didn't want to kill. Think of it as preserving Philippines for our future. It is a long way term campaign that gives us what we result we want. It is staying safe in our country. It is not just for Duterte but for all the Filipinos.

correct,now philippines president become my idol,he have a good will to declare with drugs,corruption and criminality,they have no mercy with people wh have bad plan on their country,the law being better and strong,esspesially for drugs crime,it has been major problem for philippines since lonng time ago,i hope other country will follow this process.

As of the current situation right now that is happening in the Philippines i could say that our president duterte wasn't just words and tell people whatever they want to hear but he is really doing what he has told the people that he will eradicate drugs and stop corruption in the Philippines. Other countries should really see this occurrences as an good example to pick a better leader and respect each others borders to not interfere on some countries problem. Like US they should really mind their own business and fix their piece of shit country.

I am from the Philippines and I can say that we feel good changes on our country now compared to previous administration.  Even there are still people who hate him because of saying bad words, war against drug, human rights issue, I still believe in his administration. The reason why I still believe on him is his advocacy and love for my fellow Filipinos. His concerns on the soldiers who killed on war on Marawi is heart warming.  The only people who are not benefited on his administration are those people who commit crime and illegals. The number of people who are killed are just few people compared to the possible numbers to be affected if drugs and corruption will not eliminate.  His program like free tuition in all state universities also show his concern regarding Filipinos future that I appreciate most.  If ever there will be another president like him who will run for the next election, I will surely vote him.
