RA 9165, the Dangerous Drugs Act. It's a law that doesn't allow pleabargaining.

Worse still, the probation law is also not allowed for those who
violate it; so beware! So here's the Dangerous Drugs Act. Let's start with a
definition of significant terms.
1.) Administer
Any act of introducing a dangerous drug into a person's body with or without
his/her knowledge in any way. It doesn't matter if it's by injection, inhalation,
injection or any other method, and it won't matter if it's self-administered or
not. The exception is if it's done by a licensed practitioner (doctor, nurse, etc.)
for medication purposes.
2.) Controlled precursors and essential chemicals
These include the chemicals listed in Tables 1 and 2 of the UN Convention
Against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances. They're
called "controlled" because they have legal uses (like manufacture of medicines)
but subject to regulation because they're addictive.
3.) Dangerous drugs
Those listed in the schedules attached to the 1961 Single Convention on
Narcotic Drugs (and its 1972 amendment.)
4.) Drug dependence
This follows the WHO definition: a cluster of psychological, behavioral and
cognitive phenomena of variable intensity, in which the use of psychoactive
drugs takes on a high priority thereby involving, among others, a strong desire
or a sense of compulsion to take the substance and the difficulties in controlling
substance-taking behavior in terms of its onset, termination or levels of use.
5.) Deliver
Knowingly passing a dangerous drug to another. It may be personally or any
other way and by any means; consideration doesn't matter.
6.) Sell
Any act of giving away any dangerous drug and/or controlled precursor and
essential chemical regardless if it was for money or another consideration.
7.) Drug syndicate

Any group of 2 or more persons formed or joining together in order to commit a


violation of the dangerous drugs act.
8.) Dispense
Any act of giving away, selling or distributing medicine or any dangerous drug
with or without prescription. Dispensing isn't a crime per se. It will depend on
the other circumstances.
9.) Den, dive or resort
A place where any dangerous drug and/or controlled precursor and essential
chemical is administered, delivered, stored for illegal purposes, distributed, sold
or used in any form.
10.) Illegal trafficking
Illegal cultivation, culture, delivery, administration, dispensation, manufacture,
sale, trading, transportation, distribution, importation, export and possession of
any dangerous drug and/or controlled precursor and essential chemical.
11.) Trading
Transactions involving the illegal trafficking of dangerous drugs and/or
controlled precursors and essential chemicals using electronic devices. This
includes e-mail, text messages, cellphones, landline, 2-way radios, the internet,
instant messages and chat rooms or acting as brokers in any way of such
transaction in violation of the dangerous drugs act. It may be for money or any
other consideration.
12.) Employee of a den, dive or resort
A caretaker, helper, watchman, lookout or other persons working at the den,
dive or resort. They're employed by the person who runs the den, dive or resort
with or without compensation in connection with the illegal drugs operation
13.) Financier
Any person who pays for, raises or supplies money for or underwrites any of the
illegal activities under the dangerous drugs act.
14.) Protector/coddler
Any person who knowingly and willfully consents to the violations of
the dangerous drugs act and uses his/her power, influence or position to shield,
harbor, screen or facilitate the escape of any person he/she knows, suspects or

has reason to believe has violated the dangerous drugs act in order to prevent
the violator from being arrested, prosecuted and/or convicted.
15.) Pusher
Any person who sells, trades, administers, dispenses, gives away on whatever
terms, distributes, dispatches in transit, transports dangerous drugs or acts as a
broker in any transaction that violates the dangerous drugs act.
