Kratom, opium and marijuana aren't chemical drugs. All have been widely available in Thailand for centuries.

 

Apart from the Yaba, the only chemical drugs seized were 50g of cocaine, 2g of ketamine and 5 ecstasy tablets. Hardly winning the war on drugs.

Nope, I acknowledged the Yaba in my post.

 

Yaba (ya ba in Thai - translates as crazy medicine) is a mixture of caffeine and methamphetamine and usually sold in tablet form. Was legal in Thailand until 1970 and was usually sold in gas stations and primarily to truckers driving for long hours.

 

Probably the number one drug in Thailand, usually sold in "straws". 200,000 is the tip of the iceberg, several times that sold every day. I could take a 20 minute walk from my house and find at least 10 people selling straws.
