Former DMP Chalerm says he sees weed as a narcotic - tells nation SIX things that must be done

[webfact]

Picture: INN

 

Former deputy prime minister and one time political titan Chalerm Yubamrung told the nation via Facebook that he's old school.

 

He was a crime suppression captain so he said he sees marijuana as a narcotic.

 

He apologized to his fan club that he'd gone AWOL for a while but said he had few things to say.

 

He said he missed everyone.

 

He then had a very mini rant about weed and his "suppression" days. Saying that regarding marijuana he considered it illegal and ASEAN nations agree with him, reported INN.

 

Period.

 

He said the political system at the moment was being run "nork rabob" - outside the lines, a term usually reserved for loan sharkers' areas of operation.

 

Hinting at a personal run for more political glory he said he had a six point plan should he get the chance:

 

Fight drugs, tackle poverty and inequality, address the problem of corruption in government, guard against further pandemics, address problems among youth and restore the economy to its former glory.

 

And on the seventh day he rested, notes ASEAN NOW.

ladies and gentleman you are now witnessing the last of this species in the wild. acting like a rabid animal flailing about in desperation while being devoured.

[worgeordie]

It's well known  Alcohol or "ear medicine"  as he calls it , is his drug of choice ,

which causes many more problems than weed..

[JustThisOnePostOnly]

If weed is a narcotic then alcohol is doubly so.

Didn't his son murder a policeman during an armed robbery......ran away to Cambodia........ and then came back to join the police force????????

[OneMoreFarang]

Did he mention his sons and what they think about drugs? 

[curtklay]

I thought dinosaurs were extinct.

[SoilSpoil]

This man, and his family, represent everything that is wrong in this beautiful country. 

[ukrules]

These idiots should seriously consider their priorities.

 

There's many junkies running around the country off their head on yabba/ice, some of them so paranoid that they're fully armed up and ready to attack those imaginary demons who they're running from.

 

It is amazing that they would attempt to choose to use whatever resources that they have to 'fight weed' instead of yabba.

 

[goloeilmanz]

Oh, absolutely. It's definitely on par with heroin and fentanyl. I mean, have you ever seen someone fall into a weed-induced coma? It's a real epidemic. ????

[TingTonger]

Not a Word about The Yabba Explosion, at 2 to 3 baht a pill <deleted> 

[phantom51red]

address the problem of corruption in government

Here is Chalerm addressing corruption:

Dear Corruption, did you miss me?

[ALLSEEINGEYE]

Corrupt old dinosaur is just <deleted> because he didn't belly up to the trough quick enough and is missing out on his cut. 

[ThaiFelix]

You know thats funny Mr Chalerm,  You see weed as a narcotic and I see Thai politicians as being kindergarten children.  Greedy little children with their hands full of cookies but still screaming and stamping for more.

I love it thanks!  ????

[sansaihashbars]

Does he even know what a narcotic is?  Are video games a narcotic?

[JimboB4]

Well it’s not and no one really cares what he thinks. He’s not even in the government anymore there’s no point to this article it’s just more false anti cannabis propaganda. 

[Purdey]

People missed the thought bubbles that appeared over his head as he spoke:

"Cannabis is a narcotic" (that I should be controlling...)

"Tackle poverty and inequality" (by ensuring I get richer...)

"Address the problem of corruption in government" (by creating a new center of corruption... me)

"Guard against further pandemics" (by letting me act as the middleman for vaccine distribution...)

"Address problems among youth" (by letting my sons be an example of how to get away with anything)

and "restore the economy to its former glory." (Where I benefited greatly)

Good Afternoon,

 

As I said before Dinosaurs ????Whining about weed , Get out of the way !! Times change !!

I don’t see you and your fellow whiners making a stink about alcohol ???? ???? Not to mention stopping people from forming  Micro Breweries startups because your getting stuffed brown envelopes and I see underage kids buying alcohol in the village for adults.

Nor enforcing motorcycle safety with helmets and more then 2 people on a motorcycle that includes infants and children. Nor enforcing multiple people in the back of open pickup trucks !! 
GO BACK TO SLEEP GRANDPA !!

NOT during an armed robbery, he shot an undercover drug agent, who was probably just staring at him for a little too long."What are you looking at? Do you know who I am?, kind of scenario. One of the most unsavory families in Thai politics, which is full of the dregs of Thai society. 

[Train]

I'm not even going to start.  Let me go and compose an email on my Windows 95 machine as a rebuttal to his comments.

This passage reveals a person who is self-serving and manipulative. They claim to be addressing various issues, such as poverty, corruption, and pandemics, but their true intentions are to benefit themselves and gain more power and control. They are also shown to be hypocritical, as they speak about the dangers of narcotics but are secretly thinking about how to control the cannabis market. Additionally, they show a lack of concern for the well-being of others, particularly the youth, and only seek to restore the economy to its former glory for their own gain. Overall, this person is depicted as corrupt and selfish

Talking with a BiB some years ago, he said he and his fellow officers wished weed would become legal. Those imbibing did things like order pizza delivery while the yabba/ice creeps made their lives a misery for all.
