President Rodrigo Duterte believes that individuals who are severely intoxicated with methamphetamine hydrochloride, a.k.a. shabu may already be beyond redemption.
The president said that there was little chance that those addicted to the drug could be rehabilitated and saved to lead a productive life.
"Regarding shabu [use], how can we rehabilitate? During the visit of some Americans… they say that the brain of a human being, [due to] constant [drug] use, [after] more than a dozen times, it begins to shrink," Duterte explained in a dinner he hosted for fellow San Beda College of Law graduates in Malacañang.
"According to them, on the largest scale, rehabilitation is no longer a viable option. So what will I do with [them] who are now ruined? How about their families?" he said.
Duterte shed some light on the chemical composition of shabu which according to him is 'deadly.'
"Shabu [is] a deadly mix of chemicals. Do you know what of kind water is used to produce it? It’s water for car batteries," he stressed.
