The recent approval of a cannabis product for compassionate use does not necessarily increase the chances of the government's legalization of medical marijuana

The recent approval of a cannabis product for compassionate use does not necessarily increase the chances of the government's legalization of medical marijuana, the Dangerous Drugs Board clarified Monday.

Tetrahydrocannabinol is the main psychoactive compound which gives off the"high sensation" in marijuana. "Matagal nang pinag-usapan yan dahil for compassionate use na nga lang 'yan para pagbigyan yung mga pasyente, mga loved ones. Pero according to DOH, meron din naman kasing ibang medicine na makapagprovide ng same relief,"[Translation: It has long been tackled that this is only intended for compassionate use as a way of responding to the pleas of patients and their loved ones. But according to DOH, other medicine alternatives are capable of providing relief.

Sections 2 and 3 of Republic Act 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 allows for the reclassification, addition, and removal of any drug from the list of dangerous drugs, Cuy said.

Gordon backs bill creating Philippine High School for SportsSenator Richard J. Gordon on Saturday threw his support behind the proposed creation of a Philippine High School for Sports, saying this should be part of a national program for sports which would inculcate the value of teamwork and discipline among athletes at a very young age to produce a community of people who are inspired and motivated to excel and to compete. Another wasted taxpayers money paid to incoherent politician. Sport skill is first tried in “community playgrounds“ (madami ba nito sa Pilipinas?) at young age with their parents or friends. Sa proposed bill you have to be educated in able to use the sports complex. WTF. Along with proposal, there should also be a plantilla position for sports coaches, trainors, supervisors & adminstrators under DepEd or why not create a Sports Department? Along with this, why not create a Department of Sports?
