Philippines ended up with a lot of end users getting killed while doing little to stop suppliers. Which was all the more ironic as a lot of poor philippinos use cheap stimulants to work long hours in low wage jobs.
- bobsuruncle24 4y agoWho says it failed in the Philippines? I have a lot of anecdotes from talking with locals around Bohol and family in Mindanao that it has been very successful.

But I can understand people wanting strong government action, especially in Mindanao which has two different insurgencies (Islamic and Communist) to contend with besides drug gangs. One of my relatives had a work trip (she worked for the national government) to rural Mindanao and they sent her by military helicopter with a squad of soldiers for protection.
