They say marijuana dependents attended the gathering to share their experiences about the ill effects of drugs. Did they really?


PDEA torches P1.9M worth of marijuana

The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency destroyed marijuana bricks amounting to P1.9 million on Tuesday in Baguio City, ABS-CBN Regional Network Group reported.

“We aim to launch more operations,” said Superintendent Oliver Enmodias, chief of the PDEA-Cordillera Administrative Region.

PDEA officers burned 77 kilos of marijuana bricks to show their stringent campaign against the proliferation of illegal drugs in the region.

Former drug dependents also attended the gathering to share their experiences about the ill effects of drugs.

“Minsan akala ko ako si Superman. Muntik akong tumalon sa flyover ng Shaw Boulevard (Once I thought I was Superman. I nearly jumped off the Shaw Boulevard flyover),” said Francis Paner, a former drug dependent.

PDEA said a total of P198 million worth of confiscated drugs were recorded from January to June of this year.

The agency said that some of its operations were conducted in Baguio.

“We have to admit that it is one of our pressing problems in the city,” said Mayor Reinaldo Bautista Jr.

Judge Antonio Reyes of the city's special drugs court, meanwhile said that around 70 percent to 80 percent of arrested drug suspects are acquitted of charges.

The Cordillera region's provinces are known sources of marijuana. Drugs are usually smuggled to the lowlands and past police and military checkpoints by secret vehicle compartments and stashing them inside vegetables bound for the markets in Metro Manila and other areas nearby.

How does one know when these marijuana torching events happen beforehand? These former drug dependents seem to have had no trouble knowing.

they used to announce it when i was in high school. especially on december, usually the city holds a poster making contest against drug abuse where we always volunteer. after the contest and judging of posters (never mind if we dont win). after all those papogi speeches they burn the marijuana. and yes we were always at the frontline whistling so the wind would blow our way  ^-^

Marijuana dependence is not something physiological but rather psychological.

We need someone to come up with a research proposal for this so as not to waste all those potentially medicinal herbs.

i never heard of anyone overdosing on marijuana.

the effects are, you get lazy, you get hungry, you get sleepy.
