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

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.
