I'm just wondering if anyone out there reading these comments looks at this common, everyday, photo-op "drug dealer/s busted" media "headline" and realizes that a drug bust really has little if anything to do with the bigger picture here?

You look at the photos of smiling officials in other non-drug arrests, and you don't realize that there is something going on that has nothing to do with drugs whatsoever?

Wow. 

"Drugs kills" huh? Well apparently you need to put yours down then. It's killing you!

I would have thought that these two knew exactly what they were doing and the consequences..Yes they gambled with stuff and lost...To me they look like a couple of junkies making money to feed their habit..

 

Junkies feeding their habit, yes perhaps so. Which implies they were "addicts", and by extension, therefore probably NOT thinking very clearly! As such, rehabilitation should be the first thing to focus on, whether incarceration or not. You make the point exactly, though perhaps without realizing it. So that comment is much more well thought-out than many others here.?

As for sympathy, do you know what kind of lives these people were made to live through? Abuse during childhood? Parents who were dealers and they were themselves "pushed" into the business? Mental disorders?

I will say to you and everyone else rushing to judgement: 

If you had all of the life circumstances happen to you as might have happened to these two whom you despise, it might be YOU facing prison bars without sympathy.

"End of."

1. To determine whether these two deserve sympathy, one would need to know much more than was said/published. But what makes them "criminals" is determined by "law." NOT by right vs. wrong. 

2. "Drug pushers are criminals, end of." Yet did you see them pushing? No. Did someone actually ASK? Much more likely. But again, being a "criminal" has nothing to do with right vs. wrong. So that statement is meaningless.

3. Nonsensical to you and like-minded. Yet the (Thai government) itself has recently admitted that incarceration is not the solution and is working to change at least some things.

But your mind is made up despite any and all facts about this. So be it.

In the West, however, people are beginning to realize how complicated these issues really are, and simply throwing people in jail does nothing but destroy more lives, and the drug selling/using continues.

The point some here we're making is that mere criminalization/incarceration misses the point. Entirely.

Thanks.

What about Sulbutiamine?

The pharmacist I asked had no clue.

Also Theacrine.

Thanks,

Where can one find this near Bangkok?
