Unfortunately, I live in the Philippines and was also raised here. I think it used to be the case that the Philippines was THE number one importer of crystal meth or shabu.
But, during the administration of war crimes- convicted and general tyrant, Rodrigo Duterte's administration, drug addicts were shot en masse and killed indiscriminately — along with opposition critics. (One was even killed near my former home in the capital region, and their body was dumped in a black, plastic garbage bag.)
So, now, everything's regulated. Even benzodiazepines. I had serious problems getting even prescribed benzodiazepines because the consumption schedules did not align and now I have to ration my xanax for benzo OD when I CTB.
But not if you're wealthy as fuck.
Bongbong "Bobo" Marcos, son of former tyrant Ferdinand Marcos Sr. was recently claimed to be using such drugs as opioids (specifically, Fentanyl). This was an accusation levied against him by former ally, funnily enough, Rodrigo Duterte.
If you watch BBM in Facebook and such, often you'll see him in this almost euphoric state. He'll be laughing randomly or look like he's high. I think that confirms that he's likely a drug user. Consider that for one moment, if your president uses drugs and doesn't get persecuted but literal thousands of struggling addicts get killed for no fucking reason.
The systemic issues were not addressed, i.e. WHY there are addicts in the first place. I mean, sure, take away the marijuana but people will then move on to crack. Then onto more dangerous shit. It's a stupid, looney tunes- esque drug arms race. Just let people get high but controlled, like in 1st world nations.
Getting high in the Philippines is fucking difficult. But I heard elsewhere that it's easy to get. Like Thailand has lots of weed shops, I think. Myanmar has a booming drug trade because of the collapse of the civic government and the ongoing conflict. But I don't know what it's like elsewhere, so members of SaSu from the 3rd world, how do you get high? Or what's your experience with drugs/what is the national perception?
