The operation's immediate impact includes the cessation of unlicensed cannabis production, addressing community complaints about odors and noise. Get today's headlines by email The Narcotics Suppression Bureau (NSB), along with health officials, raided the two-storey facility on Bang Bon 5 Road following local grievances regarding persistent smells and disruptions. The warehouse was found to be producing cannabis bars from buds purchased from farms, an operation that reportedly began three months ago. Three men and a woman, aged 39 to 51, were detained at the scene. The NSB commissioner, Pol Lt Gen Achayon Kraithong, revealed that the products sold for 22,000 baht per kilogram domestically, while fetching up to 100,000 baht per kilogram in Europe. A fifth suspect, believed to lead the scheme, was absent, as he was reportedly in Morocco to meet buyers. The Department of Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine disclosed that officials seized 442 kg of cannabis buds, valued at approximately 13.3 million baht, during the raid. The suspects face charges for making cannabis products without a licence, which carry a maximum penalty of a one-year jail term and/or a fine of up to 20,000 baht. Looking forward, authorities may further investigate the network to dismantle the broader operation. The unidentified suspect at large could be pivotal in uncovering international connections. Continued monitoring of similar illegal activities may prevent further incidents and enhance community safety. Join the discussion? Already a member?
