I think you will find that most of those "nutters" are yaba and ice users. Pot smokers tend to be a laid back, mellow bunch. There's already talk of Thailand legalising marijuana for medical use.

They would have been better off transferring those plants and the farmers to the new military pot farm planned in Issan. Then the military could show how fast and efficient they are at getting the ball rolling.
