rooster59 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Over 220kg of marijuana seized in Bangkok following sting operation By THE NATION Police officers seized bricks of dried marijuana weighing 221 kilograms at a house in Lam Toi Ting subdistrict in Bangkok’s Nongjok district on Friday (May 15). According to Lam Phak She Police Station officers, the raid was a follow-up on a sting operation that ended in the arrest of Manop Buakareem, 46, who had delivered one kilogram of marijuana to undercover police earlier that day on Suwintawong Road. Manop reportedly confessed that he stored the drugs for another person named Naf (last name unknown), who will later come to collect them as well as pay him the storing fee. Manop was charged with possessing a type-5 narcotic substance (marijuana) with the intention to sell and was taken into police custody.

Yes it does, single bricks look bigger than usual it seems but probably still +/- a kilo each, just not pressed as hard ... the unwrapped portion in the center (2nd pic) would represent about 10% then. Nice stash for sure, what a pity ... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dap Posted May 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 16, 2020 (edited) How very sad that this pointless vendetta continues while so many criminally corrupt officials steal from the very folk that pay their way every day.

Cannabis doesn't weigh much, it'd probably take me all year to smoke an ounce (2 jam jars full).

I am still of the opinion that they are only waiting for the Thai Tobacco monopoly to get all it's ducks in a row to completely control production, and distribution. Then, after making sure certain organisations that wear uniforms are taken care of, it will be legalized. Of course, I may be way off track, and it has nothing to do with billions of Baht, but more out of caring for the health and well being of the average farmer Jo.
