Philippine Police Chief Wages War Against Drugs, Ends Up Drugging Everyone By Burning Confiscated Marijuana
Gurmeet Singh Pandher
As a part of Duterte governments ongoing war against illegal drugs, Philippine National Police Chief Ronald Bato Del Rosa led the burning of marijuana plants in Benguet on Friday, September 2. The marijuana stacks were samples of plantations destroyed by the Cordillera police in several operations in upland forests in July.

But what the authorities failed to address was that all that marijuana smoke was likely to get people high. Though the police personnel involved in destroying the large stacks of marijuana were wearing masks it likely they ended up getting high. The anti-drug war hence appeared to fail miserably as police authorities were the one helping people do the drugs.
A LiveScience article backs up the claim of people getting high from breathing in a lot of second hand smoke from marijuana burning. The study published by professor Ryan Vandrey of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore claimed secondhand pot smoke is likely to get make nonsmokers intoxicated enough to even make him/her fail a drug test.
The study found large amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) build up in the human body.THC is likely the chemical behind the high people feel when they smoke weed.
However, Vandrey noted that in order for THC in marijuana burning to get you high, it required smokers to be stuck in hot box situation. Hot box refers to people being in a room with no windows or any other source of ventilation.
Anti-Drug War
The government intensified its efforts to eradicate illegal drugs especially marijuana since last month. The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) in efforts with regional police conducted five marijuana eradication operations during the second quarter of 2016. Several hectares of cultivation sites were found and hemp worth millions of pesos has been uprooted since.Marijuana is illegal in Philippines and anybody caught possessing and using marijuana even for medical purposes is likely to be sentenced to years in jail or life imprisonment.
However, President Duterte said though he is not in favor of marijuana legalization, he supports medical marijuana. Medicinal marijuana yes, because it is really an ingredient of modern medicine now, Duterte told reporters in May.
