How a visit to a friend in prison can land you in trouble.

01-08_3_3.jpg

At Pattaya Police Station, Khun Wasanna came to the Prison Cells located on the First Floor to visit her friend and bring her some much needed provisions. Policy dictates that any items brought in for prisoners must be searched. This is done to prevent visitors from passing illegal items into the cells. In this case, Khun Wasanna had apparently hidden a 0.5g packet of the popular recreational drug known as Ice inside a packet of potato chips for her friend Khun Sasitorn aged 18 who was behind bars. Khun Wasanna was charged with minor class 1 drugs offences and the friends have now been reunited and now both share the same prison cell.

Hate being naive but what is "Ice"? The charge was for "minor class 1 drugs offences" which suggests it is not a hard drug.

Must be a new product line "Potato ice chips" :o

Ice is crystal meth. "Minor" means she wasn't selling it, just in possession of it.

i.e., She's not gonna spend her life in prison or get injected with potassium chloride.

But this is one of the problems in Pattaya - the young kids who come from the villages t earn a living in the towns cannot distinguish between what is legal and what is not - they are encouraged to work in illegal businesses, they are exploited by bar owners, Thai boy-friends, bar-hopping farangs, so on. They are offered cheap drugs so that they are brighter-looking, more talkative, work longer hours, don't get sickened by the constant demands on their bodies. Then the drugs take hold, they are hooked, psychologically, if not chemically.

And what part of their limited education helps them to avoid this? Bloody nothing.

A far more responsible attitude from the government of the country towards it's citizens would do a lot to eradicate the drug menace - by educating the six-year-olds and upwards.

I hate drugs.
