neverdie Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 there use to be a girl posting here until she was recently banned.....I'm wondering two things; was she one of the pub-goers & secondly, no doubt she would see that these people have been targetted unfairly. As for me, I think anyone thats doing drugs here or anywhere is a fool! 1 more to the boyz in brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilHarries Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 T2 owner: Didn't pay extortion money to the scum= go to jailSantika owner: Did pay extortion money to the scum = free man A sad indictment of the Thai system of "justice" and the rule of "law" but so true. As for the tw@ts caught doing drugs, well whatever you think of the law it is the law and if you break it prepare to take the consequences. Unless, that is, daddy is well connected then refer to jj's rule #1 above. Thai law : An oxymoron if ever there was one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colibra Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Yah like prohibition worked in the 30s. Like the war on drugs is working now. I have noticed a lot of self rightous people on this forum. Why is that. All the war on drugs is doing is making certain people rich like it did in the 30s in the USA and stregthen crime organization and corruption in our police and politicians. Give it a rest.

hazz Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) Given that the Bangkok metro want to take over the granting and enforcement of these licenses on the grounds that the police are not doing a effective job; I suppose that this is the start of the police trying to demonstrate that they can do the job. I can imagine that the loss of this source of tea money could be quite painful. More to come I expect. There are no simple answers to drugs. Prohibition does not rid society of drugs, however there are historical examples of what happens when there are a free for all. in the 80's 90's alcohol abuse caused a massive drop in the average life expectancy of Russian men and the collapse of china in the late 19th-early 20th centuries is connected to the 25%+ rates of addition to opium in the general population. Prohibition does seem to be the least worse thing to do. Edited February 18, 2009 by hazz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londonthai Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Lets just hope the convicted drug takers go to jail,and they round up the sellers.Lets get the scum away from society in the civilised world drug users are left alone or asked to do detox - it's pushers and smugglers who eventually should be jailed. arresting almost half of the pub goers on a most probably trumped up charges is just plain stupid and the only purpose of it was to terrorise the pub owners in bangkok to get more extortion money - arresting the manager is not enough punishement, we will arrest all your customers as well. it's a known fact, that it's the police who pushes a lot of drugs in thailand, I have a first hand sad experience of it from my family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can people not have the odd puff on a joint in this day and age without being labelled scum? many a pensioner has a joint to relieve the arthritis in their - joints. Are they also scum?

londonthai Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 cops used this pub as scapegoat to show off their power - they did not find dealers, drugs or any paraphenalia on the premises. Drugs in the blood show weeks after being used, some medicines will as well show up on police tests as recreational drugs. Arresting and charging punters on such weak grunt is just poinless. There are thousands of heavy drug users laying half alive on the streets of bangkok and nobody bothers about them, even ambulances just pass by Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
