Korat man 'thought he could sell marijuana for sale on YouTube'

By The Nation

 

A man was arrested on Saturday for advertising marijuana for sale on YouTube after he claimed he believed it was now legal to sell cannabis in Thailand.

 

After police were alerted that a man was selling marijuana on a YouTube channel, SamunphirSpp.law 168, officers arrested Rangsan Wisetlinthng, 31, at a house in Moo 2 village in Tambon Pak Kad of Bueng Kan's Muang district.

 

Police found 3 kilograms of dried, compressed marijuana, three bottles of marijuan powder, and 161 marijuana seeds, in the house.

 

Rangsan, who is from Nakhon Ratchasima, said he packed and mailed marijuana to buyers when they made orders on his YouTube channel.

 

He claimed that he read a report that a law has been passed to allow possession of marijuana so he thought he could sell it legally.

 

On Friday, the National Legislative Assembly passed the first reading of the bill to allow the use of marijuana for medical reasons. The bill has yet to be vetted and deliberated in the second and third readings.

There are some people in the world who should be forced to wear a helmet 24/7/365 for their own protection. I bear no malice to this guy, but he is one of them.

 

I don't know what else to say...

 

 

No prizes for guessing what he was on at the time...

Got a problem with spelling or grammar from the original article then take it up with the source but do not post it on here for others to read and for mods to remove, thank you.

They were laughing the whole way to the bust and after seizing two or three kg ganja laughing even more on the way back. 

Well they did say it would be legalised, but just not in leaf form.

What a plonker!

good response - I expect many Thai people don't even know or care what the appointed government does or its policies.

Only in Thailand ! Truth stranger than fiction. Still it is hilarious indeed.
