A foreigner can own a barbershop but cannot act as a barber.  

Especially so if he's cutting Coke and not hair.

Why do I need to elaborate on something that was clearly reported in the OP?...

"...investigations revealed his real trade was in supplying cocaine to foreign nationals"   so it's not very likely that he was set up by a Thai purchaser, is it?

So the Thai police who arranged the sting utilised the service of a non Thai to facilitate the purchase? 

 

You stated that he didn't sell to Thais. But he could have been selling to a Thai as part of this sting? And may have well done so in the past as to not find it strange that he suddenly had a Thai customer?

Definately a good thing to get rid for all the westerner criminals who are giving a bad image to all the others who are regular decent people.

Not a very good business man buys it for 2,500 to 3000 baht per gram but sells 2 grams for 5,000

All the math in this article is drug dealer math.  Nothing adds up.

i have known so many drug dealers named mike.

uthorities arranged for an undercover agent to purchase 2 grammes of cocaine for 5,000 baht.



As an aside, while I no longer dabble in cocaine, it is very common in Bangkok and around Thailand. 2500 per gram is very much pre, pre-covid pricing. 3000 baht (up to 4000 for quality is much more the norm, and price breaks really don't happen until you purchase 3,5 or more grams.    

the numbers are also ridiculous. 424 grams at 2.5k a gram certainly adds up to more than half a million baht.

Methinks time to legalize coke as well.

What about legalizing theft, murder, rape etc. also?

How many children have thousands of baht to buy a tiny packet of a gram of coke?

 

Not what I'm talking of.

 

The kids' lives are affected when their mothers, fathers, siblings or whoever get addicted to these damned drugs.

 

So in some way they are 'killed' because their lives are destroyed by proximity to addiction.

I know, and what I said stands in both cases.

 

If not direct kills then indirect.

 

Marihuana is a gateway drug.

 

Hundreds of thousands of kids in Canada are so fxxcked up on it. Lots of psychotic breaks causes by it.

 

Pot ain't a harmless drug.

 

Gov't doesn't care because they are raking in tax revenue.

 

Ppl should stick to clean drugs -  like alcohol, tea, coffee and dark chocolate.

OK, then now its in practically sold over the counter in every second shop in Thailand why havent all the kids become 'hooked' on it and now moved on to be meth heads?

Pot is harmless, i'd question  your claim of 100000+s having psychotic breaks.

I'd hazard a guess you have never touched drugs in you life, nobody that has would say such nonsense, especially about cannabis

We agree to disagree?

 

Pot is certainly not harmless in my observation.

 

I never said hundreds of thousands had psychotic breaks.  I said hundreds of thousands are messed up on pot  - addicted to it, but not necessarily psychotic because of it.

 

One needs to find only 1 white crow to disprove the idea that only black crows exist.

 

Only 1 needs to have graduated to crystal meth to prove my point.

because alcohol isn't a gateway drug or destroyer of lives at all.

at 2.5k bat per gram, he is certainly cutting the coke, and hard.

What's the mark up that seems quite expensive already. Hello bang Kwan this is Mike calling.....you got my spot on the floor ready.

 

You don't seem to be familiar with how it works for Germans. He will wake up at 6 AM, and make sure that he has placed his rag on a prime spot on the floor reserving his new bed space.

No I did not miss it. My example draws upon the extensive anthropological research done into German behaviour when they are  in a foreign land.  Behaviour anthropologists have called this Pon Farr. The loose translation is that they lose their emotional control as they search for a safe space. One must take great care as they can demonstrate superhuman strength when they seek out their space.

My friend, a LOT more children worldwide are affected by alcoholic parents, than those addicted to drugs!

 

Alcoholic addiction is rampant everywhere, whereas drug addiction amounts to a small percentage of the population in almost all countries.

 

You, or any politician, wanting to help children of addicted parents, should try to do something about alcohol first, before setting your sights on mainly recreational drugs like coke, which is restricted to wealthy individuals.

Of course we have, if you got the right money, we've got the right spot for you, just look at Tony but he had the right amount of dough for his visit I doubt you've got it, so it'll be the standard accommodation with 50 or so fellow inmates,  enjoy your stay.

I am not a big fan of deflection wrt these problems. Pointing elsewhere is not going to resolve anything. I am not sure legalizing would benefit either, perhaps in some cases. Heroin and fentanyl are producing a lot of deaths. A liberal approach in Philadelphia hardly seems beneficial. They need to be kept away from people, especially the young who are of a more addictive and experimental nature.

Totally agree, but there is a world of difference between fentanyl/heroin and cocaine!

 

If you try heroin, I believe you are hooked immediately, and almost invariably become an addict (no personal experience, but from what I've read, and from people who have done it).

 

From personal experience, I spent a good 15 days with some friends in South America, doing coke daily, and sometimes copious amounts!

 

Got on the flight home, and apart from some slight depression over the next few days, there was NO overwhelming urge to go and find some, and get high again, when back home and back to normal life!

 

I know that coke is a recreational drug, and you don't NEED to do it daily.  Not so with heroin.  They need to be treated differently by authorities, IMHO.

We dropped anchor at Pattaya  1980, china white found it's way onboard. Was mostly snorted and smoked mixed with thai stick. We had a few hard core sailors who were needle veterans from before. Now this was pure heroin and not mixed with dangerous additives. 

 

You're not immediately addicted with heroin but certainly requires self discipline to stop.

Thank you for the info.  I've personally been way too scared to ever try it, especially after seeing friends get addicted and basically ruin their lives on that garbage:  heroin.

 

I think instead of trying to stop it, gov'ts should realize the impossibility of it, (making it even more worthwhile for dealers because of increased prices), EDUCATION is key, especially to youth.

 

IF there was a fraction of the amount spent in trying to stop the movement of these dangerous drugs, spent in educating the youth, possibly using their "heroes" like pop-stars, movie actors, etc., and telling the truth, which is, heroin/fentanyl will destroy your lives, but ganja, etc., does NOT kill you, nor does it even affect you that badly, the youth would be able to make an INFORMED decision, which they are not provided with, until now, because gov'ts treat ALL drugs equally, catch/jail/etc. without showing ANY difference to their VERY different consequences on kid's lives.
