Two Iranians nabbed on drug charges

BANGKOK: -- Two Iranian men were arrested in Bangkok over the weekend for possession with intent to sell Bt1.2 million worth of the drug crack.

Police said Dadgostar Patris Jamshid, 38, and Davood Mohammadi, 26, admitted selling the drug in areas frequented by Arab tourists for between Bt2,500 and Bt3,000 a gram.

"We will investigate further to make sure this drug does not gain popularity in Thailand," Metropolitan Police superintendent Colonel Sombat Milinjinda said.

He said the men told police the drug was popular among Arabs and started entering Thailand about a year ago.

Metropolitan Police commander MajGeneral Apichart Chuates said local customers made up just 10 per cent of the men's sales.

So in addition to nuclear reactors, Iran can apparently produce some potent drugs. Sure hope the gov't doesn't break the patent on it!

According to Iranian law, anyone carrying more than 30 grams of heroin would face the death penalty.

i hope Thailand gives then the same...

Well all you have to do to produce crack cocaine is mix some normal coke with some baking soda and cook it, not rocket science - even for these two foolish chaps

And judging from some well dodgy areas I've seen deep in those BKK - Pratunam / Silom areas I woulod say some of those guys are definitely smoking something !!!!

Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: People think it's all about misery and desperation and death and all that shit which is not to be ignored, but what they forget is the pleasure of it. Otherwise we wouldn't do it. After all, we're not ######ing stupid. At least, we're not that ######ing stupid.

30 grams?

In Singapore its 2 grams - you have to prove you are not dealing or its the rope - the onus is on the defendant to prove he is not dealing not on the prosecuters as its assumend 2 grams and you are dealing.

It's like pissing in the wind, but at least another 2 scumbags are off the streets (for many hard years)

Drugs to support terrorism?

Nope, surely they would be better off smoking a fat one. Leave the line for the long distance bus drivers.

ONCB says heroine possessed by arrested Iranian is not a new type of drug

The Secretary-General of the Office of the Narcotics Control Board, Mr. Kitti Limchaikit, affirms that the heroine carried by an Iranian on May 19th is not a new type of drug as it was brought to Thailand about 30 years ago.

Mr. Kitti says the drug is known as Heroine No. 3, and it is not a new type of narcotics. He believes it will not become common for the Thai drug abusers in the Thai society even though it is popular in the Middle East and South Asia. Another reason is that Thailand is situated near the Heroine No. 4 production base, and this type of drug is more concentrated and lasts longer.

Mr. Kitti also says most parts of Thailand are not the main route for the heroine dealers to deliver their drugs.

So was it crack or heroin? Either way they have had it.

"ONCB says heroine possessed by arrested Iranian is not a new type of drug"

Heroine?

Shurely hic hic the Thai Public Relations people know the difference - they could have looked it up on wikipedia where it says on the heroin page, "Not to be confused with female hero"

Saw them on tv, handcuffed and sitting at a table where all the evidence was displayed.

Even handcuffed, one grab a smoke and his lighter from the evidence and tried to light it up. Maybe a last hit before going to jail. The boys put a quick stop to that.

shouldnt people have the right to do with their bodies what they want? drugs are harmful but so are hamburgers. what about alcohol? there are tons of alcoholics. cars also dangerous, lets go back to horseback.
