The only thing that making it legal did was to bring more scrutiny upon drivers when stopped. The same would hold true here in Thailand. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An announcement to the effect was published in the Royal Gazette website on Monday. Category II comprises 102 ordinary narcotics, such as morphine, cocaine, codeine, medicinal opium, and fresh opium. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropicalevo Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Thailand has intercepted a lot of drug shipments recently. But no one is looking at what they do with them after they 'confiscate' them. So they find 30 billion baht worth of drugs. Sell them back to the dealers and 'hey presto'. Another submarine or mega project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLock Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Thailand is like an insecure dog. Every time is fetches a ball or shakes hands, it needs the affirmation of the its sometime US Master giving it a pat on the head an a biscuit. ...and this is something I would have expected 20 years ago, not just because Thailand fetched a new stick. 15 hours ago, snoop1130 said: saying the United States is ready to work with Thailand on drug suppression and other crime related issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eeworldwide Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 But yesterday : A new Public Health Ministry regulation allows the sale and possession of category II narcotics under the Narcotic Act BE 2522 (1979). An announcement to the effect was published in the Royal Gazette website on Monday. Category II comprises 102 ordinary narcotics, such as morphine, cocaine, codeine, medicinal opium, and fresh opium. I don't understand what the flip is going on in Thailand right now. And today they just endorse an abortion bill allowing termination up to 12 weeks of pregnancy... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
