Those perky Brits once again are hitting the news headlines in Thailand! What a disgrace for the nation. Stricter visa rules are required, including police and criminal record screening.

GammaGlobulin Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Take Xanax, fake or otherwise, at you own risk. I would never do such a thing. Still, it's a real MONEYMAKER for those who produce Xanax, fake or otherwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunpeer Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 On 6/23/2024 at 2:07 AM, Enoon said: Nobody knows......because it's irrelevant. The "story" is only here because AI picked up the word Thailand in connection with a criminal case in the UK and bleeped it at a news "editor" connected with AN. So it gets printed here, with no explanation of the Thai background, because nobody in Thailand had/has a clue what was going on and where they were. Notice there is no mention in the AN article of Thai police involvement and no big show put on by the Thai police themselves. They were not extradited, the British police just waited until the clever couple, who had no clue that the whole operation was under surveillance, popped home. The origin of this notreallymuchtodowithThailand story: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3ggdew76gzo thanks, this made sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If pharma companies would sell their products at reasonable prices, then those private scammers wouldn't exist. Xanax is generally not available for recreational use, regardless of price.

neverere Posted Monday at 11:43 AM Share Posted Monday at 11:43 AM On 6/22/2024 at 9:43 AM, OneMoreFarang said: Sure. But my point is that people wouldn't buy something "cheap" on the streets if they could buy quality products for a decent price in a pharmacy. The same applies to all drugs - legal or illegal. Illegal drugs cannot normally be purchased in a pharmacy regardless of price, or quality. If you are advocating the legalization of drugs in general, much as applies to alcohol in most countries, I am inclined to agree with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanax is only available on prescription in the UK. Recreational users would purchase online or in person from a dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it seems they have profit margins for some products which are just crazy. Private insurance drives a lot of the problems with health care, especially in the US. I'm currently in a clinical trial for tirzepetide (Monjauro). They're trying to show that it reduces the chances of cardiovascular events among older people who've already had some sort of event. I'm not obese, but I have a stent. That, along with other factors, qualified me for the study. Right now insurance companies don't want to pay for the drug, but if Lilly can show that it does that then it will be standard for cardiologists to prescribe it to those patients, and insurance companies will cover it. by charging $1,000+ per month now, when it gets approved for that use they will have a gold mine. Their incremental cost per dose is apparently about $5, so it will be extraordinarily profitable for years. The drug itself is, in my personal experience, amazing. My blood pressure is now excellent, my a1c is very low, and my LDL cholesterol is well down. It's likely that I will remain healthy for longer because of it. fwiw I haven't experienced the side effects that some people do. There are two sides to big Pharma - the researchers, who are generally brilliant and really do want to help humanity, and the corporate side, who want to squeeze and squeeze every last dollar they can.

I was commenting on a post which seemed to suggest they'd need to be found guilty before they could be extradited and that Thailand should wash their hands of the affair. My understanding is that extradition has nothing to do with being found guilty. They could go to jail in Thailand and then be extradited, they'd probably be deported anyway. The article isn't clear about where they are likely to face jail. It doesn't say they would be charged in Thailand or if they would be extradited. My guess is they wouldn't fight extradition anyway.
