The Dangerous Drugs Board and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency told a Senate committee they supported reclassifying marijuana as a less dangerous drug, but said RA 9165 must first be amended because cannabis is annexed to the statute. No reclassification followed, and recreational cannabis remained illegal.[1]
Listed for context. No score change is recorded for Philippines here.
