A well-meaning phrase that seldom actually improves anything overall, but instead merely results in a lot of emotional discomfort and sexual-harassment accusations.
"Hugs not drugs" usually doesn't solve anything, anymore than dry-drunks are actually helped by being given sweets as a reward for not imbibing, which of course merely gets them hooked on sugar instead or alcohol --- it just trades one serious addiction for another. So all that "hugs not drugs" does is to cause people who would ordinarily crave drugs to instead begin invading others' personal boundaries by demanding affectionate gestures many times per day --- again, nothing is really "solved" or "improved"; it merely shifts the abuse from one destructive habit to another comparably-damaging-to-society activity.

A sad step below "Netflix and Chill", it's what you would do with some "bitch ass punk" you don't want to actually hang out with, let alone have sex with.

A campaign that is designed to make people happy and see them smile. It is based upon the concept of giving a stranger a hug and led by a person called Juan Mann. Most people actively involved in the Free Hugs Campaign find busy urban areas and hold up signs reading "Free Hugs", and allow strangers to hug them. Refunds are offered if the person is unsatisfied.
