sunny6301 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I know a few potsmokers in the UK who are like wine-experts, they don't take other drugs at all except cannabis. A lot of them are now increasingly turning away from indoor-grown plants, and from brain-frying super-strains. Outdoor-grown plants from traditonally pot-growing regions are becoming more popular once again among some of the purists. "Under the sun, where plants belong" is a phrase I heard recently. I don't smoke though so idk. My angle on all this is that I'm just 24/7 disgusted that police globally are ordered to use their working days to round-up naturally growing shrubs, when theres rapists and paedophiles etc.etc. running around free. The strongest drugs are legal in bars, & even harder drugs are available in hospitals & in prescription drugs, stuff from the hospital is way stronger than anything you'll get on the streets. I've been on 'Depakine' for twenty years & that is legal & they even give it to kids, but it makes you walk in slow-motion like the Stay-Puft man in ghostbusters. That looked like compressed brick weed, the harshest shittest tasting low grade crap. If you think 'purists' are turning to that dirt weed...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisboyo Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 The police could have allowed the delivery of decoy packages to the address in the UK after confiscating the real stuff and liasing with the Brittish police, then the recipient could have been nabbed as well. Posted with Thaivisa App http://apps.thaivisa.com The Thai police could have done that, but that would have meant, thinking outside the box and using some police initiative. Na, lets just parade boxes of marijuana and say we stopped the shipment, but do not know who the delivery was for. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MEL1 Posted April 28, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2012 I think an important point of relevance, disregarding the main topic, are the words in the post: "Meanwhile, Corrections Department director-general Suchat Wong-ananchai announced that his department had found nearly 60,000 methamphetamine tablets, 9,513 cell phones, and 5,834 SIM cards in prisons across the country during the past six months. "We have dismissed 28 prison officials for allowing these banned items in the correctional facilities," Suchat said." In essence, the officials were simply dismissed after their good and impressive financial take. That is an importnat point, and it STINKS. Dismissed? Anywhere else they'd be in court and serving time after a trial. Nothing else to add....... -mel. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsaanUSA Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Surprised no-one noticed it being grown. At a rough guess 3.5 tonnes of dope would be a plantation area of 2 or more hectares (more than 12 Rai), which with all the associated irrigation etc. is a little hard not to notice. Including all the pickers, sorters, guards, paid of locals & officials; there must literally be 100's in on the deal. Sure, many are in on this one. Not a single man operation. This is a quote from CKR website. They seem to be able to handle the goods.: "When importing or exporting consingments to/from the UK, it is imperative that the correct procedures are followed and that all documents are presented to H.M.Revenue & Customs, completed in accordance with their regulations - Failure to do so may result in prosecution. CKR Services are pleased to advise that we are able to take the headache out of this aspect of your business by offering you our port agency and Customs brokerage services. I'm assuming you're being sarcastic with your comment, so in light of that, have you ever shipped anything overseas? That's how FedEx, UPS, DHL, all of them operate. They have their own customs brokerage services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsailor35 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Thai police seize 3,000kg of marijuana packed up in boxes and marked for delivery to UK haulage company Dartford firm CKR Services denies all knowledge of the packages 'We are nothing to do with the illegal drug trade' By DAILY MAIL REPORTER Thai police have seized more than 3,000kg of marijuana which was packed up in hundreds of boxes destined for the UK. The packages - worth a total of £1million - were ready to be sent to haulage firm CKR Services' warehouse address in Galleon Boulevard, Dartford, Kent. The firm told MailOnline it had 'nothing to do with the illegal drug trade and was appalled that the stickers were addressed to its warehouse'. Full story/pictures: http://www.dailymail...ge-company.html -- Daily Mail Online 2012-04-28 But did'nt this guy say that he had done it before, if so, how can the UK company say with truth that they are appalled that the stickers are addressed to their warehouse. I hope the UK customs look a little further than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of this planet has been forced to follow the US's religiously motivated drug policy for the past 90 years. The alcohol and tobacco lobbyists love guys like you buddy. This is weed for Christs sake, nobody should be murdered by the state for dealing in it. This whole phoney drug war would go away if we decriminilised a medicinal issue and regulated it.

The law is the law but it doesn't seem nearly as harmful as other class A drugs. not really tbf, it's a category v drug... so they do differentiate it, for example you can't get the death penalty for it if caught for possession or with intent to sell, though i'm not sure about smuggling in or out. also the maximum for possession is 5 years whereas heroin and yaba is ten. but get this, you can have as much as ten kilo's of marijuana for it to be classified as personal use! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the most inteligent thing I've heard in the thread so far, to be dismissed would mean they had either suspicion or proof, that said of course there would be charged brought against them anywhere else. It stinks and like you said Mel. I too hate how the police in Thailand are ABOVE the law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcrumpet Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 One of the concerns I have about moving to NE Thailand in a couple of years is that I don't drink , but I do occasionally like to smoke marijuana.I imagine that is a no no if you are a farang in Thailand-instant 'shakedown' potential? One would have to be very subtle. My wife told me you go 'into the bush' to smoke in Thailand, al fresco-and strangely enough I have seen in portrayed twice that way in Thai comedy/soapies- partaking of the herb with a long bamboo bong in the scrub..Any Isaan readers like to share experiences of NE Thai stoners? Thai stick was famous here in Australia in the 70s/early 80s, apparently originating in Khonkaen district? Production booming in the vietnam war years? True?

Slavery, public executions, religious wars and opium smoking have all been morally acceptable at various times. In the future, damaging your lungs by inhaling toxic products of combustion way well be seen as reprehensible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vijer Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Hmm, why would you have that much stuff delivered to where you live? Hey just put it in the corner over there nobody will notice the smell. And he had bank accounts? What the hell! If you're going to do something illegal you don't put the cash in the bank where the government can confiscate it, or question why a someone of limited means has 10 million baht in the bank. Wasn't there a politician a few months back that had 5 or 10 million in cash stolen from his house and the robber said there was substantially more cash in the house then what he stole but the politician said nope the robber got all of it. That's how you do it if your going to do something shady. 5555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
