    [REPUBLIC ACT NO.

    9165]

    AN ACT INSTITUTING THE COMPREHENSIVE DANGEROUS DRUGS ACT OF 2002,


    REPEALING REPUBLIC ACT NO. 6425, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE
    DANGEROUS DRUGS ACT OF 1972, AS AMENDED, PROVIDING FUNDS
    THEREFOR, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES

    Be it enacted by the Senate and the House of Representatives of the Philippines in


    Congress assembled.

    SECTION 1. Short Title. — This Act shall be known and cited as the “Comprehensive
    Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002”.

    SEC. 2. Declaration of Policy. — It is the policy of the State to safeguard the integrity of
    its territory and the well-being of its citizenry particularly the youth, from the harmful
    effects of dangerous drugs on their physical and mental well-being, and to defend the
    same against acts or omissions detrimental to their development and preservation. In
    view of the foregoing, the State needs to enhance further the efficacy of the law against
    dangerous drugs, it being one of today’s more serious social ills.

    Toward this end, the government shall pursue an intensive and unrelenting campaign
    against the trafficking and use of dangerous drugs and other similar substances through
    an integrated system of planning, implementation and enforcement of anti-drug abuse
    policies, programs, and projects. The government shall however aim to achieve a
    balance in the national drug control program so that people with legitimate medical
    needs are not prevented from being treated with adequate amounts of appropriate
    medications, which include the use of dangerous drugs.

    It is further declared the policy of the State to provide effective mechanisms or


    measures to re-integrate into society individuals who have fallen victims to drug abuse
    or dangerous drug dependence through sustainable programs of treatment and
    rehabilitation.
