Nanaplaza666 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 He must have long arms patting himself on the back so many times and for so many thing on 1 celebration and all of that in just 1 year , what will happen if he stays on for a few more years ? Maybe new notebooks and markers and guard costumes for every prisoner so they can walk out without being noticed . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the minister should be focused on the overriding philosophical areas/aspects of correction and detention, and officers way under the minister focused on things like beds. But guess what, the minister is no where near capable of philosophical thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just the tip of the iceberg and suggests that either Thai police are getting better (ahem) or more drugs are flooding the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drug misuse is a symptom of deprevation, poverty and lack of opportunitiy. Its is a condition driven by socio-economic factors primarily. I disagree, alcohol is a harddrug and people use it no matter what status. The same goes for other drugs its just an escape a way to relax. There will always be drug use best to decriminalize it and make sure there are not many bad side effects from the use. Like operating a car when drunk or high, violence and so fort. Punish the crimes stemming from drugs not the drug use itself. If you see how much drugs are being intercepted you got an idea how much is being used. The amount is huge, but its not like every drug user steals or gets violent. Its even cheaper to take certain drugs then to go a night drinking alcohol. So most users are not criminals, don't get violent just live their own life. Let them be unless they get violent, steal or operate cars and other stuff under the influence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianthainess Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Is my memory stuffed or did i dream that more than a year ago, they were going to get the prisoners to make the bunk beds, i think it was after they suggested the prisoners could use their skills to make guns for the army/police.

I am sure,that what you wright is true in many cases,but far from all.In my village,most of the young people,who are users,are from wealthy families,given good education,money and often some business of their own to take care of.But they use all that to drugmisuse.They are helped over and over again,but they just don`t care .

You should take care to qualify what drugs you are referring too. Some recreational drugs have nothing whatsoever to do with poverty, deprivation, or opportunity. Remember what the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers famously said: "Dope will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no dope". Of course they were referring specifically to call to pot. Also, I personally know several people in the States that stopped smoking pot because they were tested so often on their jobs. The hair test can detect use from months past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
