Upvoted. Sige nga, if other countries are doing it, a lot of people worldwide are using it...
Do the Philippines have plans to legalize it? I know for a fact that the President advocates medical marijuana..how far is it to its' fruition?

We all know that Davao City is pro-Medical Marijuana. That time Duterte was its vice mayor. As for now, the President of the Republic of the Philippines and its Congress is quite busy on amending the 1987 Constitution for a Federal form of Government. God Willing, if Federalism will succeed hopefully President Duterte will not step down from power as what he is blabbering in the media that if Federalism will in effect he will step down. If ever he step down, maybe Marijuana legalization will be just a dream. Moreover the President is strongly against crystal methamphetamine hydrochloride (tokhang) not really to marijuana. For now I think, Marijuanas fruition is blurry. They have plans for same sex union, salary increases, universal access to education, Build build build, but for marijuana ahmmm still not clear. The president just do what he wants that he thinks is for the welfare of the people. Maybe marijuana will visit him in a dream and he will come into a realization.

So I guess the bill is now in the House of the Representatives. Also, the World Health Organization announced last month that use of marijuana could benefit humans and animals without the risk of addiction. Read the full article HERE.
But unfortunately it is not one of the priority bills at the moment. It will have to be read 3 times in house of representatives and after that another scrutiny at Senate. It will take about years or decades. Hopefully it will succeed God Willing :) Also hopefully the 4 months maternity leave will be approve soon hahaha
