There are places I've been where opium was legal and alcohol illegal. Alcohol should be illegal, of ganja and other drugs are. Have you ever driven a car after drinking alcohol?

I'm assuming opium is a drug, yes, there may be drugs that are not harmful, but look at the stash that was found in his car. I may have been a little harsh, but if there is any way he was not dealing in addictive drugs, then I will be the first to come on here on Thaivisa and apologise.

Anyone care to admit that they would never knowingly break any law no matter how stupid it is? Another thing, the country is not my host, they put me to the inconvenience and expense of doing a 90 day report. Yep, even after 16 years of constantly living here, you 'd have thought that there'd be an easier visa extension process or any other "goodies." But nope, we're treated like all the newbies. Have a good one, Farang! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FritsSikkink Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 2 hours ago, MrPatrickThai said: You are missing the point Neernam was making. A drug addict does not choose to take drugs. He has lost the power of choice. I had a friend(an alcoholic in recovery - alcoholism is a disease by the way) who was given a highly addictive drug called tramadol by a friendly pharmacist. Before long, the craving of addiction kicked in and he was hooked, needing to buy more and more until it wasn't enough. He then was forced, due to tolerance, to buy some stronger opiates and ending up dying. These dugs take over your life, and you can't make logical, rational decisions. Neernam is right, this could happen to any one of us, through becoming depressed for example and being put on medication etc. Condolences to friends and family. He chooses to take the drugs the first time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odysseus123 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 (edited) The guy appears to have been dealing drugs-does anyone disagree with that statement? When he was accosted by police he fled,crashed and died. A pretty stuffed up thing to do especially if you have a wife and a small child. I listened to all the excuses peddled by members of this forum in my profession and basically it still came down to "It's up to you..and accept the consequences of your actions" Drug addiction/dealing/alcoholism or any other form of addictive behaviour does not give you a free pass to anything.

Those tablets on the white A4 sheet in the police pic sure look like Yaba to me. And the police have already confirmed his possession of Methamphetamine. Highly addictive both, I understand..... "Methamphetamine - meth for short - is a very addictive stimulant drug." Can post a bunch of links if you don't believe it. The Yaba tablets are a mix of Meth and caffeine, which I assume is for the extra buzz......normally crushed smoked and inhaled through a flavored liquid such as vanilla.

Even when I'd appreciate that drugs would be handled as alcohol, I've got to disagree with you on that one. How is it the free will of a heroine, speed, or cocaine junkie to shoot powder into his/ her veins? Even if the sellers basically don't force the addicts to buy their drugs, the drugs do. And they do it well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
