Again, such a stupid number.

Will the drug lords now miss 29 billion in their bank accounts?

Is that the wholesale price for tons of drugs? Or did someone take the street price for a gram and multiply that amount by a lot?

The drugs listed are all produced in the 'golden triangle', and then transported through and exported from Thailand. Just saying.

All of them - except the ones that aren't produced in the Golden Triangle and those that aren't exported.

Just saying.

Hence them being caught in Thailand, and then burnt in Thailand.  You haven't discovered something new.  Just saying.

Waste of time. The war on drugs is a war on the people that corrupts the police and discredits the army all over the world.

The BIB and the army are the biggest mafia organizations in Thailand.  They would never let an opportunity like this to profit pass them by.  Who checked that the actual drugs were incinerated?  The BIB and the army of course.

I never even tried drugs for a simple reason: What would happen if I really like them?
