The Deputy Prime Minister of Thailand, Anutin Charnvirakul, was greeted with news of a major anti-drug sting operation i

Well Mr anutin, you can tell your sidekiks, the Pm and the puppetmaster that this strategy wont work. It doesn't work in most countries as the army is controlling the drugs.

Wouldn't it be better (for Thailand) if you could tax this billions of thb instead?

Thailand's Public Health Minister, Somsak Thepsuthin, plans to decrease the number of amphetamine tablets that constitute illegal possession. In his first executive board meeting since assuming office, he shared his commitment to combating the narcotics issue.

 

His proposal seeks to align the drug possession law with the National Narcotics Act, which classifies small amounts for personal use as non-criminal.

 

The current law treats possession of less than five tablets as a medical issue rather than a criminal one, allowing users the opportunity for rehabilitation. This approach has helped prevent prisons from becoming overcrowded.

 

Even with the proposed reduction, the law will retain its emphasis on rehabilitation and medical treatment, and law enforcement will continue to work closely with drug control agencies.

 

Additionally, any patient escaping rehab will face legal action. This addresses the problem of one in five patients in drug-related cases absconding before completing state-issued treatment.

 

Regarding the legality of cannabis, Somsak felt more public opinion is needed before deciding on reclassifying it as a narcotic, although exceptions for medical use would be considered.

 

Future requirements for a doctor's prescription for cannabis use were not confirmed but will be discussed further.

The driver, Churapat Pramaso, was entrapped in the steering wheel and was declared dead at the scene despite emergency workers' efforts to free him using hand tools.

Sounds awfull, perhaps using a seatbelt would have helped him?

What if he gets hit by a stray bullet, then what about his grandchildren?  No stay safe at your home....

My my they certainly moved quickly on this.  What about the sellers of fireworks?  Remove the source then you automatically remove the problem. 

Yes, but, that would require forward thinking which isn't normal in this country.
