Fgis Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Especially when it seems that even do drug test at croad checkpoints in DAY TIME !

Not sure what your point is about morning testing, that all the druggies are sleeping it off? Or maybe you think the test only comes up positive when you're actually under the influence like alcohol? Actually you'll show up positive weeks later, and the biggest drug problem here is amphetamines which abusers don't tend to sleep that much. . .

Trembly Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 (edited) @ BigJohnnyBKK This is my opinion and I stand by it. I have every right to express my view as you do. And I will say it again, "drug users and pushers are losers and low-lives whatever their colour or "status". Okay ? Do you drink alcohol? Smoke cigarettes?

jacktrip Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 going into a private cubicle is not blatant use. you probably wont find cops listening or peeking into cubicles looking for drug use. i guess you heard a snort here and there but the chances of getting caught doing a quick snort in a cubicle are nill to none. did he have a boner?

Well, three people going into a "private" cubicle in a nightclub leaves no one in any doubt as to what they are doing so, to other patrons and toilet attendants, it's blatant. If, on the other hand, you go in alone, then it's not blatant since, as far as others are concerned, you could be going to take a dump. As for cops or security taking a peek over the top or under the bottom of the cubicle is concerned, I'll assume you're far too advanced in years to have been to a house or hip hop club in the last 30 years and, consequently, excuse your ignorance.

smokie36 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Young people take risks....seek buzzes....get high. I used to do it....but thankfully that part of my life is mostly over. I wouldn't take such risks in Thailand now....but I could be persuaded to try E or weed in the right circumstances in the Dam for instance. Maybe.

tfc Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Doing illegal drugs in Thailand is nuts. Sure many may get away with it but those that don't, it's really not a good time from then on. In Australia people usually just get a slap on the wrist the first time for personal use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLock Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 With all the associated risks, why not just do "Bath Salts". They are perfectly legal.

To these people they are an unknown and misunderstood commodity, and therefore the root of all evil. They simply cannot understand that. to a very significant number of people, the occasional bump, joint or pill is simply part of a night out, or in for that matter. interestingly many of these same people think nothing of getting legless most evenings on cheap beer or thai whiskey, but can see no parallels in their behavior with that of the people they so strongly disapprove.

kawaiimomo Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) I actually saw a more blatant usage tan The OP describes in a club in RCA. Not a big club but around 70% of the people were high on ecstasy. There was a group of 7 people extremely high andhandling and taking the pills in plain sight. Not sure if it's OK to say the name but it's a kind of light televisions are made of these days. On another club there with a road name there were 2 guys so high on coke or methamphetamine that were so obvious. I think it's a big risk here. I only smoke some weed at my apartment and it's been 1 time in the last year (I used to smoke the whole day back home).

robblok Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Farangs who mess with illegal drugs in LOS are a sandwich short of a picnic. I would say they are taking risks that I would not take. But that is their choice its not like they risk anyone but themselves. Unless they start driving and doing drugs. IMHO is drunk driving much worse then doing some drugs at home or at a club if you don't harm anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'd be the ones who consistently ask to get caught by the law and eventually do . . . bait. The drug users who are more or less invisible to most people are switched on enough to be, well, invisible to most people whilst having a good time and not bothering anyone.
