The majority of the arrested drug suspects in the Philippines were carrying shabu, accounting for about 95 percent of the total drug suspects in 2022. In comparison, about five percent of arrests involved the seizure of marijuana in that year.
Shabu is a slang term for methamphetamine, which is also called the "poor man's cocaine".
