28. Why prohibited drugs is rampant in the country? 🔍 1. Poverty and Unemployment Many individuals, especially in urban poor areas, turn to drugs either to cope with hardship or to earn money through drug selling. Lack of job opportunities pushes some into illegal drug trades as a quick income source. 🧠 2. Peer Pressure and Social Influence Young people are often influenced by friends or social circles. Curiosity and the desire to “fit in” can lead to experimentation and eventually, addiction.

29. 🏙️ 3. Urbanization and Overcrowded Communities In densely populated slum areas, law enforcement is harder , and illegal activities can thrive. Limited access to education and youth engagement programs also contribute to vulnerability. 🧩 4. Weak Implementation of Laws While the country has strong anti-drug laws (e.g., RA 9165), corruption , lack of coordination, and inadequate resources can weaken enforcement. Some drug personalities may evade accountability through influence or bribery.

International and domestic syndicates continuously operate and evolve, finding new ways to distribute illegal substances. 🧑‍⚕️ 6.

There’s a shortage of affordable rehabilitation centers and mental health services to support those in need.
