Thanks for watching! Here, I visit a 'voluntary rehabilitation center' in the Philippines. In what would become a very conflicting afternoon, I found out it's drug rehabilitation for people who probably don't really need it.

The Philippines just suffered through a senseless drug war by the former president in which thousands got killed for a claimed involvement with drugs. In this video, I meet the people who got so scared, that they turned themselves in.

I do Youtube with no sponsors or ad revenue - because apparently, I talk about things that give strange feels? Please consider supporting my work on Patreon: patreon.com/thysroes 💜

$The biggest misconception about drugs Not every drug user is a patient that needs help. The biggest misconception about drugs is that the majority of its users develop a dependence. In reality, its only a fraction. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thysroes ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Store your Bitcoin against 6% interest on BlockFI 🤩 https://blockfi.com/?ref=691c325c ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ►► WATCH MORE DOCUMENTARIES: ►► Morocco: A Hash Superpower https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qs4vHEdjvNA A Drugged up Dinner Ends Up in a Mess https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5dGY8rzLCE Weed Prohibition in California 2012 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtW6A4qBCnw ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ MY FAVORITE BOOKS ABOUT THE DRUG WAR Patrick Winn - Hello, Shadowlands - https://amzn.to/36t7Dal Johann Hari - Chasing the Scream - https://amzn.to/3klsfGI Jay Stevens - Storming Heaven; LSD and the American Dream - https://amzn.to/3plx6eE Listen to these on Audible Plus, and get one title for free per month: https://amzn.to/3knUNzg ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ►► Follow Thys on Instagram: https://instagram.com/thysroes/ ►► Produced by Spark.sx: https://spark.sx/ Subscribe to Sparks other channels 🌎 Controlled Substance: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqHAXRpV8paPh3FFwXo7-Fw?sub_confirmation=1 🦠 Little Universe: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmwe8lNH1Ik462rMfpZk5xQ?sub_confirmation=1 📙 New Netherland Now: https://www.youtube.com/channel/NNqywm-33j6ej26xfAKdgA?sub_confirmation=1 GEAR ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Or check out some of the gear that was used to shoot this video Panasonic GH5 - https://amzn.to/2DaS7TJ Leica 15mm - https://amzn.to/2DaOwVK Rode NT2A - https://amzn.to/2JN3bYi Canon 600d - https://amzn.to/2DsWoCN$
