As for a paper for conflict issues, I've thought of making an article about the Reproduction Health Bill which I think would be main stream. So I am writing an article about the conflict of using illegal drugs and that of officials who cannot handle the release of drugs in the Philippines.

Cocaine, marijuana, LSD, and other illegal drugs, though prohibited are still being attained or "take" by some people. And while these people are having the time of their lives getting high and flying and soaring and seeing unicorns, government officials are stating that "Thou shall not take drugs. You'll die early. You'll be in prison for a long time if you don't have money to free yourself."

Maybe the government just can’t really help these drug users if they want to die early or if taking these drugs makes them happy, less depressed, less stressed, and to see unicorns and butterflies allover. But these users cannot blame the government either for making drugs illegal because, I don’t know, maybe drugs are made to be illegal. Maybe it is the drugs’ fate to be illegal.

Problem is, there are really people who don't care if they will die from drugs. At the same time, these government officials may somehow are not doing their jobs well for letting these prohibited "goods" be taken by users. Bigger problem, some of the known people in our country are using them, or selling them, or pushing them.

As some Filipinos puts it, "Ang magnanakaw ay galit sa kapwa magnanakaw." Maybe in this case, users (government people users) are angry with their co-users (drug users). #
