Wow, yes I've heard about how strict the drug laws are there. And about your president who is very violent, but we are told he has support of the population. I think many people there must be brainwashed (conditioned to believe) that drugs are dangerous to individuals and to society. And that drug use is a sin, or a personal weakness.
Canada legalized cannabis recently, but only for themselves to sell. People can't grow the plants and make cannabis themselves. Even patients are being put in prison for 14 years because of cannabis plants, and they call it "legal"?
So about a year ago I made this:

Portugal decriminalized all drugs in 2001. Addictions, health problems, overdose, and crime went down!

I wish Canada would be more like Portugal and less like Philippines (no personal offense meant).
