A major drug bust occurred yesterday, when a joint task force of Thai military and law enforcement officials seized over 1.2 million methamphetamine pills, with a new formula containing cannabis, from a transit point along the Mekong River, Nakhon Phanom.

 

Some of this haul was contained in sophisticated dehumidifying packaging featuring unique stamps. Sources speculate the drugs were intended for the entertainment market.

 

Yesterday, the enforcement agencies team led by Rear Admiral Kasidi Klinsrisuk, commander of Nakhon Phanom’s Mekong Peacekeeping Naval Area, inspected the drug stash, first found by Lieutenant Thanapong Sudrak, Head of Tha Uthen Navy Station, and other key officials. In collaboration with the Surasak Montri Task Force, 120 packaged bundles amounting to over three bags were uncovered.

 

Forty of these bundles contained a new formula of methamphetamine encapsulated in dehumidifying plastic packages, imprinted with a Marijuana leaf and stamped with the English phrase DON’T WORRY BE HAPPY. This product, unseen in previous seizures, features orange pills embossed with the character WY. The authorities believe these pills, which include cannabis ingredients, were bound for recreational use predominantly in entertainment venues and younger audiences.

who on earth writes this rubbish?

 

"The authorities believe these pills, which include cannabis ingredients, "

"Further analysis and investigations are underway to trace the manufacturing sources and discern the preliminary ingredients used"

 

Why bother with analysis when they have already decided what's in the pills?

It won't be long before the authorities suspect the involvement of a certain swiss watch company, once they have identified the crown,  they are certainly "on the ball"

 

I assume they suspect "cannabis ingredients" as there was a picture of a leaf on the packaging,
