Duterte on Callamard: She should go on a honeymoon with ‘that black guy’

President Rodrigo Duterte on Wednesday went on a tirade against United Nations special rapporteur Agnes Callamard and the American doctor, who supposedly cast doubt on shabu's ill effects on a person's brains.

Duterte said Callamard and "that black guy" should go on a trip to discuss the effects of shabu, or methamphethamine hydrochloride,  on people.

"She should go to a honeymoon with that black guy, the American... I will pay for their travel. They should be together and discuss between... silang dalawa," Duterte replied when asked about Callamard's tweet.

Duterte didn't mention the name of the American but was apparently referring to Dr. Carl Hart, who Callamard quoted in her tweet over the weekend.

Duterte said that if shabu had no adverse effects, he would readily make it available for Filipinos.

“Kasi kung ang shabu mabuti, ma’am, kung ang shabu is really in consonance with their pronouncement, masiguro mo beginning tomorrow maglagay ako ng mga ano diyan, puno ng shabu ‘yan, diyan sa kanto. Kuha ka lang,” Duterte said. 

“You know, kung makapabuti ‘yan sa Pilipino, maam, ibinigay ko na ‘yan sa totoo lang. Ako na mismo ang magpaluto ng --- instead of pulbura sa Bulacan. Kung isabay ko sa pulbura, sa firecrackers, ipaluto ko shabu. Ako na ang maglagay diyan sa sari-sari, free,” he added. 

Duterte even said that there was also no scientific evidence that shabu was not virulent.

“They have prejudged shabu and announced --- ewan ko kung scientific na it is not … It is not a virulent chemical. ‘Pag ka ganon, wala na tayong pag-usapan. Bakit mo ako idemanda diyan sa ICC kung kayo mismo anak ng p—ina, sinasabi na ninyo na ‘yung shabu hindi nakakasira ng tao,” he said.

“You have prejudged everything and you are referring to the core of the complaint against me. Why would I go there and hang myself?” he added. —NB, GMA News
