The Philippines gained a reputation for having one of the strongest drug regulations in the world under the very contentious presidency of Rodrigo Duterte. Cannabis usage and possession are both illegal in the Philippines, according to Filipino law, and violators face incredibly harsh penalties.
Penalties for people found in possession of 500 grams or more of marijuana or 10 grams or more of hashish include:
– A prospective death sentence or life sentence.
– fines ranging from 50,000 to 10,000,000 pesos.
Regardless of the distinctions noted above. It is obvious that being found in possession of weed in Zamboanga is the same as risking your life.
