A British tourist was arrested in Chiang Mai's Kamphaeng district on Wednesday night for allegedly abusing crystal meth and overstaying his visa.
 

Police arrested Benjamin John Soulsby, 31, at his rented house in a housing estate in Tambon Tonpao following a tip from the house owner that his tenant appeared to be high on drugs.

 

Police found 0.95 grams of crystal meth in the house and a device for using the drug. Police suspected he flushed some drug down the toilet when they arrived.

 

Pol Col Pallop Siriyakul-na-Ayutthaya, deputy commander of the Immigration Police Division 5, said Soulsby entered Thailand on September last year and his visa expired on October 8, last year.

He was abusing ice, what would be the correct way to use it?

These things do have medical uses, when it was invented it was a treatment for narcolepsy & asthma. In WWII it was then used to keep soldiers awake. 

 

Abuse is any abnormal use, i.e. for recreation.

In my home country, Austalia, its the yearly "schoolies celebration" where 1,000's of school leavers either go to the Gold Coast or Bali.They drink less alcohol than they used to as drugs are far cheaper and faster acting.Dozens have been admitted to hospitals some may have died.TV Coverage shows so many off their face.

Saddens me but the pushers are coming up with new varieties all the time and only the mules seem to get caught.

 

This guy should obviously be working. Hope he gets home and gets professional help

So, by your definition, having a social drink with family is alcohol abuse.

 

Epidemiologists define the term drug use as being experimentation or irregular use and define drug abuse as being regular and/or compulsive use.
