DRUG EDUCATION AND VICE

CONTROL

Compiled by:
Kelvin P. Saludo
I. An Overview
No community in our country is said to be free on the problems on illicit drug use.
Despite years of drug suppression efforts by all levels of government and by numerous-
drug organizations, the cycle of drug use continues. In answer to the globally challenging
problem of illicit trafficking and proliferation of dangerous drugs and to strengthen the
anti-drug abuse program of the government, Republic Act 9165, otherwise known as the
Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 was passed, which in July 4, 2002,
effectively repealed and replaced the existing drug law, R.A 6425 otherwise known as the
Dangerous Drugs Act of 1972.
With the end in view of pursuing a more intensive and sustained campaign against the
trafficking of dangerous drugs, R.A 9165 reconstituted and revitalized the Dangerous Drug
Board (DDB) which already existed under R.A 6425, and vested it with increased powers
and duties to pursue its mandate as the policy making and strategy planning body in the
drafting and formulations of policies and programs on drug abuse prevention and control.
Continuation…..
Entrenched in this drug law, however, are provisions aiming at achieving a
balance in the national; drug control program so that the people with legitimate
needs are not prevented from being treated with adequate amounts of required
medications which may include the use of dangerous drugs.
Unfortunately, no community in the Philippines can escape problems surrounding
illicit drugs.
VICE DEFINED
Vice maybe defined as any immoral conduct or habit, the indulgence of which
leads to depravity, wickedness or corruption.
DRUG EDUCATION, DEFINED
Drug Education is a learning process that influences an individual emotionally,
intellectually, psychologically, and socially and may result in the modification of
attitudes that influence behavior. It involves the formal mechanism of presenting
information, and includes a series of experiences and influences that help shape
the learning environment, the atmosphere of the school, the life-style present at
home, the attitude of parents, the pressures within peer group, the popular
culture, the personal experience with or without drugs, and the availability of
alternative mechanisms employed to carry out certain kinds of behavior.
HISTORY OF DRUG ABUSE
The use of chemical substance that alter physiological functioning dates back to the Old Stone
Age. Egyptian relics from 3500 B.C. depict the use of opium in religious rituals. By 1600 B.C. an
Egyptian reference work listed opium as analgesic, or painkiller. The Incas of South America were
known to have used cocaine at least 5000 years ago. Cannabis, the hemp plant (Cannabis Sativa)
from which marijuana and hashis are derived, also has a 5000-year history.
During World Wars I and II, the use of injectable morphine to ease pain of the battle casualties
was so extensive that morphine addiction among veterans came to be known as the “soldier’s
disease”. By that time, the medical professional and the public recognized how addictive morphine
was, its use had reached epidemic proportions. Then 1898, the Bayer Drug Company in Germany
introduced a new opiate, supposedly a non-addictive substitute for morphine and codeine. It came
out under the trade name heroine, yet it proved to be even more addictive than morphine.
When cocaine, which was isolated from the coca leaf in 1869, appeared on the international drug
scene, it too was used for medicinal purposes. Its popularity spread and soon it was used in other
products, a variety of gin tonics, and the most famous of all, Coca-Cola, which was made until 1903.
THE GLOBAL DRUG SITUATION
DRUG TRAFFICKING
It is noteworthy that drug abuse has become not only a national issue or a
problem of just a few countries but it is clear and present global danger. Today,
well-organized drug syndicates are behind this menace. They employ the most
advanced and most sophisticated technology coupled with unlimited financial
resources at their command and disposal. Police agencies around the world,
pooling their resources are more often than not, the losers in a game of hide and
seek with the international drug syndicates.
DRUG TRAFFIC ROUTE
On the side of the globe is the second major traffic route, which is composed of
the popular “Golden Triangle” which is composed of three countries namely: (1)
Burma/Myanmar, (2) Laos and (3) Thailand; and “Golden Crescent” which is
composed of : (1) Iran, (2) Afghanistan, (3) Pakistan, and (4) India.
Southeast Asia
The “Golden Triangle” approximately produce 60% of opium in the world, and
90% opium in the eastern part of Asia. It is officially acknowledge source of Asian
“Heroin”.
A heroin is produced in the “Golden Triangle” and passes nearby countries in
relatively small quantities through air transport while in transit to the United States
and European countries.
Southwest Asia
The “Golden Crescent” is the major supplier of opium poppy,
marijuana and heroin products in the western part of Asia. It produced
at least 85% to 90% of all illicit heroin channel in the drug underworld
market.
 THE WORLD’s DRUG SCENE
Middle East
The Becka Valley of Lebanon is considered to be the biggest producer of cannabis
in the Middle East. Lebanon has also become the transit country for cocaine from
South America to European illicit drug markets.
Spain
Spain is the major transshipment point for international drug traffickers in
Europe, and became the “Paradise of drug users” in Europe.
South America
Columbia, Peru, Uruguay, and Panama are the principal sources of all cocaine
supply in thee world due to the robust production of the “coca plants”.
Mexico
Mexico is known in the world to be the number one producer of “marijuana”.
 THE WORLD’s DRUG SCENE
Philippines
The Philippines is second to Mexico as the to the production of Marijuana. It also
became the major transshipment point for the worldwide distribution of illegal drugs
particularly “shabu” and “Cocaine” from Taiwan and South America. It is noted that
Philippines today is known as the drug paradise of drug abusers in Asia.
India
India is known as the center of the world’s drug map, leading to the rapid drug
addiction among its people.
Indonesia
North Sumatra has traditionally been the main cannabis growing area in Indonesia. Bali
Indonesia is an important transit point for drugs in route to Australia and New Zealand.
 THE WORLD’s DRUG SCENE
Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand
These countries are known to be the most favorable sites of drug distribution
from the “Golden Triangle” and other parts of Asia.
China
China is the transit route for heroin from the “Golden Triangle” to Hong Kong. It
is also the country where the “ephedra plant "cultivated-source of drug
“Ephedrine” which is the Principal chemical for producing Methyl amphetamine
Hydrochloride (shabu)
Hong Kong
Hong Kong is known as the world’s transshipment point of all forms of “heroin”
Japan
Japan has become the major consumer of cocaine point of all forms of “heroin”
 THE ORGANIZED CRIME GROUPS BEHIND THE
GLOBAL DRUG SCENE
The Columbian Medellin Cartel
Founded during the 1980’s by Columbian drug lords in the name of Pablo Escobar
Gaviria and drug bosses: Jose Gonzalo Rodriguez Gacha and the top aid cocaine
barons Juan David Ochoa Brothers.
The Medellin Cartel is reputedly responsible for organizing world’s drug trafficking
network. The Columbian government succeeded in containing the Medellin Cartel,
which resulted in the death, surrender, and arrest of the people behind the
organization. This further resulted to the disbandment of the Cartel that led to its
downfall.
 THE ORGANIZED CRIME GROUPS
BEHIND THE GLOBAL DRUG SCENE
The Cali Cartel
The downfall of the Columbian Medellin Cartel is the rise of the Cali Cartel-the
newly emerged cocaine monopoly.
Gilberto Rodriguez Orajuela-better known as “Don Chepe” –”the Chinese player”
heads the syndicated organization. Under him, the Cali Cartel was considered the
most powerful criminal organization in the world. The cartel produces over 90% of
cocaine in the world. Due to its huge production, it was called the best and
brightest of the modern underworld. They are professionals of the highest order,
intelligent, efficient, imaginative and nearly impenetrable.
THE ORGANIZED CRIME GROUPS BEHIND THE
GLOBAL DRUG SCENE
The Chinese Triad
The Chinese Triad, also called Chinese “Mafia” is the oldest and biggest criminal
organization in the world. It is believed to be the controller of the “Golden triangle”
with international connection on drug trafficking. The Chinese Triad is also referred
to as the “black societies”. Called themselves triads because of their highly
ritualistic use of numerology-a belief in magical significance of numbers. The 3 and
multiplies of 3 were accorded major importance by this group. The symbol triad
societies is depicted by an equilateral triangle with 3 sides representing the 3
Chinese concepts heaven, earth, and man.
II. Vice Defined
Vice refers to any immoral conduct or habit, the indulgence of which
leads to depravity, wickedness or corruption.
It is worthy to note that vices are generally thought of as habits or
behaviors that are, at best, unacceptable, and at their worst.. Immoral.
Yet there are those vices that have become so commonplace that we’ve
ceased to recognize them as such, depending on the culture you live in.
Importance of the Study of Vice
The importance of studying vice are as follows:
1. It is important because its evil effects are more disastrous, morally and
physically that of other crimes;
2. It is important because vice affects the daily lives of many people.
3. It is important because its existence causes a serious problem in law
enforcement
4. It is important because commercialized vice disrupts the social make-up of the
community.
Smoking
Take for example, smoking. Half a century ago it wasn’t at all unusual for
Americans to smoke everywhere- in and out of doors, on airplanes, at the dinner
table, etc.. Today, our culture has changed due primarily to our understanding of its
effects on our health thus, we no longer see the kind of smoking that was once very
common.
Yet it seems that the history of smoking and the presence of tobacco in the West
go back a few centuries. Apparently, men and women have enjoyed smoking as
long as there’s something to smoke.
Its been celebrated in song.
Coffee
Coffee first arrived in Europe via Italy. More specifically, it came to Venice from
the Middle East and quickly spread throughout Europe. It got a huge promotional
boost in 1600 when the Pope decreed coffee to be drink of Christians. By the end
of the 17th Century, coffee houses has spread like wild fire, including in places such
as Leipzig Germany where they were also popular venues for musical performance.
It was this very setting that inspired Johann Sebastian Bach to compose his
satirical cantata “Sweight stille, plaudert nicht” better known as the “Coffee
Cantata” which tells of a daughter’s addiction to coffee and of her father’s
frustration in trying to get her to stop drinking it. In the end, he doesn’t really
succeed in spite of his best efforts.
Gambling
Gambling is another one of those vices that is, depending on who you talk,
variously seen as recreation, an outright sin, or a distraction falling somewhere in
between the two.

the game is incapable of calculation by human reason, foresight, capacity or design.
Drinking
Wine and spirits have been libations of choice for many reveler, and drinking to
excess, par for the cause. Countless numbers of songs and dramas have marked
such excess from the middle ages through the present day.
Alcohol, defined
Alcohol is one of the oldest intoxicants known to man. It is created when grains,
fruits , or vegetables are fermented. Ever since, there has been a continuous effect,
everywhere, to control its consumption because of its devastating effects on

III. Drugs: Their sources, Classifications and Effects
Drug Defined
Drug is a chemical substance that brings about physical, physiological,
behavioral and or psychological change in a person taking it.
Are all Drugs Harmful?
Any drug maybe harmful when abused. The that many drugs will produce
beneficial results has led some people to feel that drugs solve all problems. Drugs
that affect the mind can have subtle or obvious side effects which can be
immediate or may only become evident after continuous use. There are drugs that
are taken as medicines. But certain drugs are taken not as medicines but to satisfy
craving or a strong desire and taking them becomes an ingrained habit. These
habit-forming drugs have brought misery to millions of people in every part of the
globe.
SEVEN CATEGORIES OF DRUGS
The following are the categories of drugs namely:
1. Herbal Drugs
Herbal drugs are plant substance that have drug effects whose use not generally
regulated by the law. These substances require little processing after the plants are
gathered. These drugs may be grown locally.
2. Over-the-counter drugs
Over-the-counter drugs are commercially produced drugs that may be purchased
legally without prescription. These drugs are also known as “propriety drugs”
3.Prescription Drugs
Prescription drugs are commercially produced drugs that can be legally sold or
dispensed only by a physician or on a physician’s order. They are like the over-the-
counter drugs in that they are manufactured by pharmaceutical companies, but they
differ in that the decision to use drugs is legally vested in a licensed physician not in
the user.
4. Unrecognized Drugs
Unrecognized drugs are commercial products that have a psychoactive drug
effects but are not usually considered drugs .These substances are not generally
regulated by a law except in so far as standards of sanitation and purity is required.
5. Illicit Drugs
Illicit drugs are drugs whose sale, purchase or use is generally prohibited by law.
Criminal penalties usually apply to violators of these laws .
6. Tobacco
Tobacco is not generally a drug , thus, may be classified as an unrecognized drug.
However, tobacco hold such a distinct position in terms of usage patterns,
economic importance and health consequences that it merits a category to itself.
7. Alcohol
Although alcohol may be included in the unrecognized drugs, alcohol in forms of
beer wine, and distilled liquor is one of the most widely used drugs in our society. It
is regarded by many experts as the most commonly abused drugs in our society.
Medicines vs. Drugs
All medicines are drugs, but not all drugs are medicinal drug.
Medicinal Drugs
A substance which when taken into the human body cures illness and /or relieves
signs/symptoms of disease.
Dangerous Drugs
A dangerous drugs is a substance affecting the central nervous system which

changes in a person taking it.
Drug abuse
Drug abuse may refer to any non-medical use of drugs that cause physical,
psychological, legal, economic, or social damage to the user or to people affected by
the user’s behavior.
Abuse usually refers to illegal drugs but may also be applicable to drugs that are
available legally, such as prescribed medications and certain over-the-counter
medications.
Classification of Drugs

Drugs maybe classified into:

A. According to origin:
a. Natural Drugs- are active ingredients , secondary metabolic products of plants and
other living systems that may be isolated by extraction.
Examples:
Raw opium
Marijuana
Coca bush

the illicit market , which are almost wholly manufactured from chemical compounds in illicit
laboratories.
Examples: Methamphetamine
Barbiturates
