War on drugs becoming regional agenda

chalerm.jpeg

BANGKOK, 31 March 2012 (NNT) - Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yubumrung has declared that the government’s fight on drugs will be promoted from the national level to a regional agenda as it requires international partnership to deal with the issue.

On 29 March, Deputy PM Chalerm, in his capacity as director of the National Center of Illicit Drugs Prevention and Suppression, chaired the meeting on Thailand’s partnership with international associations to find solutions to the problem of narcotics drugs. The meeting was attended by representatives of various domestic and international organizations.

Mr.Chalerm said integration of work and cooperation from all sectors in a systematic manner were integral to successful operations against drugs. Thailand planned cooperation with neighboring countries in suppressing narcotics production, trade and smuggling. The country has also set a target to form a regional anti-drug alliance, he added.

Ya right Thailand is going to send there army in to Burma to stop the growing of poppies and Burma is going to send there army into Thailand to stop the distribution of drugs.

In other words there 80% reduction on drug abuse has failed.

Some of the biggest suppliers of the ingredients here in Thailand claim to have lost the pills.

If they really wanted to cut back on drug abuse they will have to set up many treatment center where people can be treated for the disease of addiction rather than like no body's. They will not only have to be treated for addiction but learn to respect them selves and others.

As long as there is a buyer there will be some one to sell them the drugs. As long as there is untouchable drug barons there will be some one to sell the drugs.

Thailand could make a start on cleaning up Thailand by looking at Portugal. They have had some success in working to a solution to the problem. Instead they look to the states and there war on drugs. A war that they are continually loosing. They did better in Viet Nam and we all know how that worked out for them.

these wars on drugs are not wars on drugs at all but just an attempt at monoplising profits, certainly thats the only effect they have ever had.

Regional can be both interpeted as nationally or internationally.

If Chalerm Rubyourbum-g is proposing that the problem is regionally within Thailand, then that would suggest he will propose the regional areas to be concentrated on. That in return would hide any exposure that people in his immediate domain may possibly have any involvement in drug issues, whether they do or they don't, as those areas would be last on the agenda for investigation whilst all trails are cleared up.

Nice one!

According to medical studies amphetamine addiction is worse than drugs like heroin or cocaine. Withdrawal symptoms are more intense and remission more common.

" Of all drug problems, amphetamine addiction has been found to be one of the most difficult types of addiction to treat.

sorry I cannot remove the black background.

LOL Portugal, is a country teetering on financial collapse and dependent upon EU handouts with a very gloomy future.

Vietnam is a country developing quickly with a relatively stable economy and a bright future.

I'd rather be in a country where there is hope and prosperity then one with a large group of junkies sucking the lifeblood out of society.

Chalerm is a ten times loser. Anyone who declares a war on drugs is a loser anyhow. You cannot win, but Chalerm is the last to care about the ordinary people whose freedom he is about to invade. Chalerm is one of those elitists who buy judges, prosecutors and police. Bet you that his sons were using drugs but of course that is different.

Maybe if hes kids did indeed have a run in with drugs, he knows as a parent what the costs are and is pursuing this agenda because he is trying to spare other families the same hardship.

I'm tired of being told that drugs shuld be legalized or subsidized. The people pushing this agenda are not the ones paying those costs, whether it be the subsidies or cleaning up the mess or in dealing with the cost of a drug community. Just as the war on drugs has not been successful to date, neither has been the stampede to legalization. Communities don't want "safe injection" sites in their midsts, nor do families welcome the ease at which drugs would then be available. If society could do it over again, tobacco would have been regulated as a serious poison.

War on Drugs, I recall Thaksin parading around with a large Thai flag about eight years ago saying that Thailand was now drug free. All governments are on a hiding to nothing when it comes to drug 'eradication' the best you can do is have some form of legalised control along with some policy that tries to reduce the root causes that lead to drug abuse-- whether they be psychological, social or some other undetermined cause; finally bearing in mind that there will always be people who will put their hands in the fire no matter what.

What cost?

Oh, you mean from junkies burglarizing to feed their habits?

I saw an interesting report on BBC the other day, about native settlements in norther Canada, and their huge problems with Oxicoton.

The base of the problems was that one pill goes for USD 20 south of Canada - but flown up to their settlements the price went up to 400-600 USD per pill.

You do the math - with a real price of under USD 2 - how much more junkies have to get together per day [any way possible] to get their fixes. Now imagine if they could merely pay the real price from any pharmacy...and we could take the winnings for society and spend it on treatments for junkies that are abusing - not using - it.

But o-no, some are just too stuck at the first symptom and don't really care about treating the problem.

Which is completely unrelated to any drug-problems, as their overall costs in regards to drug-problems have drastically decreased.

To follow up - governments should take a policy of Harm reduction and addiction managment instead of prohibition. There is no silver bullet to fix the drug problem. But legalization is the best use of our resources - consider how many violent crimes go unsolved. Wasting precious law enforment resources on non violent drug users is the real crme here.

Including the side effects?

Posted

All things have side effects - including prescription drugs. Prescription drugs and the medical establstment kill more people than almost anything.

Why don't you let someone decide for themselves if the side effects of the drugs they take are harmful to them.

What gives you or anyone else to decide what side effect are good or bad for anyone else? Nothing because you don't have the right to do that.

We believe that drug prohibition is the true cause of much of the social and personal damage that has historically been attributed to drug use. It is prohibition that makes these drugs so valuable – while giving criminals a monopoly over their supply. Driven by the huge profits from this monopoly, criminal gangs bribe and kill each other, law enforcers, and children. Their trade is unregulated and they are, therefore, beyond our control.

History has shown that drug prohibition reduces neither use nor abuse. After a rapist is arrested, there are fewer rapes. After a drug dealer is arrested, however, neither the supply nor the demand for drugs is seriously changed. The arrest merely creates a job opening for an endless stream of drug entrepreneurs who will take huge risks for the sake of the enormous profits created by prohibition. Prohibition costs taxpayers tens of billions of dollars every year, yet 40 years and some 40 million arrests later, drugs are cheaper, more potent and far more widely used than at the beginning of this futile crusade.

We believe that by eliminating prohibition of all drugs for adults and establishing appropriate regulation and standards for distribution and use, law enforcement could focus more on crimes of violence, such as rape, aggravated assault, child abuse and murder, making our communities much safer. We believe that sending parents to prison for non-violent personal drug use destroys families. We believe that in a regulated and controlled environment, drugs will be safer for adult use and less accessible to our children. And we believe that by placing drug abuse in the hands of medical professionals instead of the criminal justice system, we will reduce rates of addiction and overdose deaths.

Everything from Gulf of Thailand oil deposits to Drugs to Songkran Festivals has become a "regional agenda" with these folks. Wake up man, there's something bigger going on here.
