IT RUINS OUR PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

• Alcohol consumption can damage the brain and
most body organs, including the heart, liver, and
pancreas.

Prohibition
In 1919 the 18th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States banned the
sale or manufacture of alcohol. This period in US history was known as Prohibition;
it ended in 1933. Here, government agents
dump illegally made alcohol that they have confiscated.

Amphetamines/
Methamphetamine
•Amphetamines, including
methamphetamine, are powerful stimulants that
can produce feelings of euphoria and alertness.

•Anabolic steroids refer to
synthetic variants of the male
sex hormone testosterone.

Bath Salts

family of drugs containing one or more
synthetic chemicals related to
cathinone, an amphetamine-like
stimulant found naturally in the khat
plant.

• Cocaine is a
short-acting
stimulant, which
can lead users
to “binge”—take
the drug many
times in a single
session.

Cocaine has long been known as a
drug of abuse, but it came into
particular prominence in the late 1970s
and the 1980s. Cocaine
hydrochloride, a water-soluble salt, is
a dry, white powder that is usually
inhaled through a thin tube inserted
into the nostril. More rarely, cocaine
is injected into a vein. The drug may
also be smoked in a purified form through
a water pipe (“freebasing”) or in a
concentrated form (“crack”) shaped into
pellets and placed in special smoking gear.

• The effects
of hallucinogens—
perception-altering
drugs—are highly
variable and
unreliable,
producing different
effects in different
people at different
times.

• Heroin is a
powerful opioid
drug that
produces
euphoria and
feelings of
relaxation.

Inhalants
• Inhalants are volatile
substances found in many
household products (such
as oven cleaners, gasoline,
spray paints, and other
aerosols) that induce mind-altering
effects.

•Ketamine, Rohypnol®, and GHB have
come to be known as “date rape”
drugs because they can cause
someone to lose their memory of an
assault.

•Nicotine is an
addictive
stimulant found in
cigarettes and
other forms of
tobacco.

marijuana, amphetamines, and

in the
Philippines remains difficult to bring
to a halt due to new modus
operandi and the involvement of
persons of authority.

(shabu) remain the
preferred drugs by the drug users,
thus making it still the most
available drugs in the country.

According to the Philippine Drug
Enforcement Agency (PDEA), some
areas of the country are conducive
for marijuana cultivation, especially
in mountainous areas of Northern
Luzon, Eastern Visayas and
Mindanao.

Since 2010, drug syndicates
established small-scale
laboratories and kitchen-type
clandestine laboratories to lower
the risk of detection of shabu
production.

Marijuana Production

Enforcement Agency
identified that the
mountainous parts of
Northern Luzon, Eastern
Visayas and Mindanao are
viable for marijuana
cultivation.

Methamphetamine Production
Drug syndicates have been
producing methamphetamine in
small-scale and
kitchen-type laboratories to avoid
detection by the Philippine
authorities
since 2010.

Transnational Drug Trade
International drug
syndicates use the
Philippines as a
transit hub for the
illegal drug trade.

Drug Trafficking &
Controlled Substances
When a state or federal
government classifies a
substance as "controlled," it
generally means that the use
and distribution of the
substance is governed by law.

The Dangerous Drugs Board was created by virtue of
Republic Act 6425 subsequently repealed by RA 9165,
otherwise known as the Comprehensive Dangerous

the DDB to be the National policy-making and strategy
formulating body on all matters pertaining to drug abuse
