He's killing drug users? What a sub-human degenerate. It'd be infinitely easier, more profitable, and humane to simply legalize drugs and tax it.

Drugs are much worse than Duterte.

Why? Why shouldn't people be allowed to do what they want as long as it doesn't affect others? Why not focus on drug rehabilitation for those that couldn't handle it rather than killing drug dealers who are merely sellers? Who is a government to decide what you can and can't use, especially when it comes to something like drugs which can enhance many sensations and even give people new outlooks on life at times.

Dead serious, I still don't understand a single thing about this obsession with making drugs illegal. Am I missing something critical or what, legalizing and taxing sounds in each and every way like a much better solution, but it's like the elites are hell-bent on doing it caveman style.

It's one thing to legalize a drug like weed, but hardcore drugs like heroin, cocaine, and meth, shouldn't EVER be legalized.

Looks like the purge is starting early in the Philippines. Filipinos better fall in line quick because Duterte isn't playing around.

Man, it's crazy how fast the world is changing. When we now have an American leader, who's pretty much on the same side as Duterte.

It affect others since you have to pay taxes to fix other people's poor life choices (rehabilitation, education programs, jail and so on). That's theft on responsible people and should not be like that.

I'm all for do whatever you want, but "fix my life because I cannot take responsibility for my choices" is not the kind of free will I have in mind.

Perhaps killing people for drug related things is utterly brutal and regressive, but if you think deeply about it, most of today's society problems have a root in people being addicted to stuff and not being responsible of their behaviors and decisions at all, and worse of all, blaming others for their poor self mastery.
Maybe all this inhumanity could set a precedent in straightening up this carpe diem, hedonistic and rotten to the core generation into seeing the easy life they have, the seek of only pleasure and no effort whatsoever, it's what is making the global society a big chunk of crap

Use the money from the legal drug trade to fund rehabilitation programs. With more knowledge etc there'd probably be less need for that than there is already. Also let people who have fucked up to fuck up, that's their problem. Other people shouldn't have to suffer because someone who couldn't handle a drug still did it.

Look at when alcohol was illegal back in the day in the US, far more alcohol related deaths and risks since it wasn't a regulated legal market. With legalization the costs of alcohol abuse on society actually became lower and risks were reduced for everyone involved since you don't need shady dealers. The same exact thing would happen with drugs and we both know that.

Seeking of pleasure in different ways is what life is about in its very basic form, all else is just what we tell ourselves to give it some meaning. Life is what you make it so if people want to do drugs they should be able to without having to go underground or risk prison time/death.
