The Dangerous
Drugs Board was created by virtue of Republic Act 6425 subsequently
repealed by RA 9165, otherwise known as the Comprehensive
Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002. The new and stiffer law mandates
the DDB to be the National policy-making and strategy formulating
body on all matters pertaining to drug abuse prevention
and control. As such, it issues implementing rules and programs,
for compliance by all operating drug law enforcement bodies
and other government agencies. It is, however, not limited
to policy formulation as can be gleaned from its functions
enumerated under Section 81 of the Drug Law. |
