 L E S S ON

In the year 2004, an estimate of 6.7 million drug users in the

Philippines was recorded by the Dangerous Drugs Board (DDB). The
“2008 National Household Survey on the Nature and Extent of Drug
Abuse in the Philippines” conducted by the same agency revealed
that there is a downward trend in the number of drug users down to 1.7
million users. The decline may be associated with the government’s
intense efforts in combating drugs. The following are the reasons for the
successful decline of drug abuse in the country:

Operations conducted by different law enforcing agencies like the

Philippine National Police (PNP), National Bureau of Investigation
(NBI), Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA), Bureau of
Customs and other law enforcers have helped arrest local and
international drug syndicate members, traffickers, and destroy
secret laboratories and warehouses.
Strict implementation of policies under the “Dangerous Drugs Act of
2002” like the compulsory drug test for application of driver’s license,
entrance to military service, application for firearms licensing, and
others.
Actualization of the Dangerous Drugs Board’s programs and
projects in partnership with other agencies like the Department of
Education (DepEd), Department of Social Welfare and
Development (DSWD) and other local government units (LGU) and
non-government organizations (NGO).
These are positive efforts bearing fruits and achievements; however
the government does not rest on its laurels but rather creates more
productive programs and projects to make in the country a drug-
resistant society.

Common Concepts in Drug Education

The following are the usual words you will encounter in studying
substance use and abuse:

Drugs are any substances or chemicals which when taken into the
body either though nasal, oral, transdermal or intravenous way
have psychological, emotional and behavioral effects on a person.
Drugs of abuse are drugs commonly abused by users. In the
Philippines the three drugs of abuse are shabu, marijuana and
inhalants.
Drug dependence is a cluster of physiological, behavioral and
cognitive phenomena of variable intensity in which the use of a
drug takes on a high priority thereby creating a strong desire to take
the substance.
Drug misuse is the use of a substance incoherent or inconsistent with
the prescribed dosage or frequency of use.
Drug Abuse is the use of a substance for non-medicinal purposes.
Abuse leads to organ damage like brain damage and liver
damage, addiction and troubled behavioral patterns.
Drug tolerance is the condition of the body to adapt to the effects
of substances to the body thus requiring an even larger amount of
the substance to experience the same physiological and mental
effect experienced when taking the smaller dosage.
