Samui: Indian pair face Thai drug smuggling charges

[geriatrickid]

Alcohol is most certainly a poison, ever seen alcohol overdose? Alcohol addicts? Imho, alcohol is nothing else but a legal drug. To keep the masses quiet, you can almost add.

All substances when over consumed can be classified as poisons. Do you know what water poisoning is? This occurs when the body's electrolyte balance is disrupted as a result of over hydration. Alcohol in small doses is not poisonous and can even be argued to have some beneficial effects. Unfortunately, all these chemical concoctions whether it is crystal meth or fancy named chemical potions such as "ecstasy" are toxic and poisonous even at minimal dosing. Yes, some people become alcoholics., and yes alcohol is indeed a drug. That's how it is classified in pharmacology. For every wino you see on the street corner, there are hundreds of people that are able to consume alcohol in moderation without physical damage. Unfortunately with crystal meth, as soon as that toxic crap enters the human body, the physical damage starts. Alcohol can be regulated and the human body has physically adapted to alcohol because of its used for thousands of years. The crap that is cooked up in clandestine labs is inconsistent and would be considered a hazardous waste material if left in your backyard.

The two Indians were for all ntents and purposes transporting toxic chemicals. How would you feel if Monsanto offered to make crystal meth, using the highest quality production standards? Would you accept Monsanto as a crystal meth manufacturer and distributor? I doubt it. So dry up those crocodile tears. The 2 Indians are scum. They knew right from wrong and yet chose to participate in delivering dangerous chemicals to the sick people that are addicted to the chemicals. They were part of the chain of exploitation of mentally ill people.

Here's my suggestion to stop the trafficers. Behead them and put their heads on a pike at the airport. Let everyone see those heads. It worked wonders in Europe and caused those that wished to cause trouble to think twice before considering high treason.

So how many years we need to go back in history for this? Maybe alcohol is not necessary a poison but definitely a legalized drug. Imho there's no need to crash down so hard as suggested here on the puppets/traffickers in the drug trails but to crash down very hard on the main guys in the business. Unfortunately these guys at the top make too much money so they can protect themselves fairly good.

I really don't understand the hatred against two traffickers who are completely at the bottom of the totem pole.

To Say " I hop they get 20 Years " ..Is hardly a comment even Worthy of Reply . The argument for this is that you can control illegal Drugs on the Supply Side , pure and simple this is impossible . What is the Population of India ? and what percentage of this are " Untouchables " ? ..Or from the Bottom two Castes ? ..

There is no shortage of Couriers , Its not a level playing field . Easy to sit in an Ivory Tower and condem those who are in a vastly different financial situation .

How long as basically ALL of Asia had the Death penalty for Drug Runners ? has supply Increased or Deceased ? ..There are you Sums , and it aint rocket Science .

Just a completely ridiculous Argument . A Who gets caught doing the Run from Burma ? ..The Ones that are given up ..to make the system continue .

The War on Drugs ( so called ) , will never ever be won on the Supply side ...Pure Mules , there are many more out there also .

A poison? Please. Toxic? Maybe. Anything, even pure water, and many legitimate medications, in large enough quantities, can be toxic. Alcohol is no exception. Neither are prescription medications. This whole argument is just a tired attempt to rationalize the use of illegal drugs. Sensible people see it for what it is, acknowledge everyone's right to free speech, and afford it the attention it deserves... They also recognize that drug use fuels global drug violence & crime. Go see them on visiting day if you want to, but concern for what befalls people, including these two Indian mules, involved in it isn't going to be real high on many people's list of priorities.

'The dose makes the poison'. Basic toxicology.

All chemicals are toxic if taken or absorbed at a high enough level - even water or oxygen

How can you call these 2 Indian's scum. Is there any proof that they were going to exploit mentally ill people.

Drug addiction has two components consisting of a psychological part and a physical part. Drug addiction and dependency is recognized as a bonafide mental illness. The junkies and addicts that need their fix are weak and when consumed with their need to obtain a "fix" are incapable of rational thought. Would you be so dismissive if this was a case of selling a strong acid or mercury to a person who had a form of mental retardation? Why is it acceptable to exploit people that are physically and mentally ill?

The drug couriers knew that their drugs were going to be sold on to people. These people knew right from wrong and they were part of a network distributing toxic chemicals. They engaged in the courier operation because they wanted to get some quick money. These were middle aged men, not adolescents devoid of life experience or the ability to think in a mature manner. The Indians knew what they were doing.

The assumption hat the couriers are naïve innocents is just that. More often than not these types of couriers have a long history of petty crimes and social malfeasance. It is a rare occurrence when a responsible contributing member of society wakes up and decides, hey I'm going to make some easy luchre and shove a few packages of junk up my rectum and try and smuggle it in to Thailand.

The strategy seems to work in Singapore. Despite the flood of heroin pouring out of Burma, Singapore has managed to contain its heroin problem. Unlike in Thailand, the dealers rely on more sophisticated modes of smuggling. Mind you an honest judiciary and law enforcement structure is required to ensure an effective drug strategy.

My understanding is that most of the drugs entering Thailand come in from Burma and Laos. The drug importers have channeled their profits into paying off the necessary officials. Yaba and the like can easily be manufactured up country or ordered on demand from the manufacturing facilities in Burma. There really is no need to import it from anywhere else. The people trying to bring in the products via the couriers are most likely;

- not part of the established drug network(s)

- opportunistic entrepreneurs

- to be foreign associated criminal gangs.

The Thai illegal drug network is well formed and reaches into the local government, police and military. They really don't need a bunch of middle aged Indians to carry in the product.

[simple1]

I never understand why most countries won't let them get trough and then follow them to the point of delivery and catch the guys behind.

Because the guys behind this world trade are people of immense political, commercial and social influence.

There name's are????

The analysis at the URL below will give you some ideas. e.g. New York Times dated May 14, 2012 reported that corrupt officials in Thai hospitals are selling millions of cold tablets made from pseudoephedrine to Myanmar-based drug gangs to produce methamphetamine. In addition billions of cold tablets were being illegally imported into Thailand from China & South Korea and facilitated by corrupt Thai Customs officials.

As you well know it would be extremly stupid to post details of senior players in Thailand, if known, due to Thai laws governing defamation.

Criminal Defamation

Defamation as a criminal act in Thailand is defined by the Thai Criminal Code as a statement made by a person who imputes anything to another in a manner which is likely to impair the reputation of the latter or to expose him to hatred or contempt. Under the same Code, such person is liable for an imprisonment up to two years or he can be ordered by the court to pay a fine of 200,000 Baht or may be both.

Burden of Proof and Available Defenses

In Thailand, it is not the duty of the victim or the prosecution that the statement made by the defendant is false. Hence, the burden of proof lies on the defendant to prove that his statements are true. The defense that the defendant did not know his statements to be false is not acceptable in Thailand. Regardless of the truthfulness or falsehood of the statement, once it became a source of an injury which caused damage to the victim, the defendant is liable.

ROFL. So when a murder is committed, I should blame the lawmakers that outlawed murder, or who fail to repeal the law against murder, instead of the murderer? The "people" you refer to are in fact elected representatives OF the "people"; so if you're going to blame "the people who keep them illegal", I supposed you're blaming the general population. Good luck with that approach, though I imagine it is somewhere in the drug cartel anthem at the roundtable every year.

Idiots....Asia is the most risky place to do drugs! Why not anywhere else? Latin America has some pretty lenient rules, in comparison i think.

Imagine that there might actually be MORE money in using political office to profit from the drug trade, than in curtailing it... (HInt: the money is in the enabling of the drug trade, and not so much in its prohibition.)

I'd be much more suspicious of politicians who oppose and resist laws punishing traffickers & users than of those who actively & vocally support such laws!

Unfortunately " The War on Illegal drugs " can never be won on the Supply Side .

These Guys , just like those " Caught " running down though Burma , are only ever " Pawns in the Game " , a nice Photo Opp , and the World continues to Turn .

Like the Hanging Death of Van Nuygen in Singapore , it would be a lovely joke if it Weren't so Serious . Certain lives are Expendable , and so long as its the correct " Lives " ..No one Cares .

How many " runners " Could you get out of a Population like India ? ..particularly in the lower Castes . All achieves absolutely Nothing ..

And as Van Said when they took him off to Hang .." Dont Take Drugs " ..Really , what a joke .

[hawker9000]

Even if you regularly take down one of the godfathers, or a few in the next echelon, or several in the next, etc., it STILL wouldn't stop it. There's just too da....ed much money involved. There'll ALWAYS be up & comers waiting to step in. It truly can not be won on the Supply Side.

The difference here is that a person who is murdered didn't request it.

There are no victims in a voluntary exchange of products for money. There is absolutely no moral difference between selling Cocaine and selling Codeine, except that 1 is illegal and 1 is not, for reasons that are mostly arbitrary.

Keeping drugs illegal because of moral panic is the real crime here.

[hawker9000]

'Not sure the many many victims of drug violence around the world are requesting their own murders. ...OR that THEY'RE not victims of these many "voluntary" "exchanges of product for money". If I put out a contract with you on someone, it might be "voluntary" as far as you & I are concerned, but not so for the victim. There might not be that "moral" difference for you, but I'm pretty sure THEY can see one!

Amazing that users just don't see any responsibility for themselves for the killing and brutality their "voluntary exchanges" of money for "product" are financing. The idea that we should subvert democracy, frustrate the will of the majority, and legalize drugs simply for the sake of those who won't or can't say NO is equally amazing. OK - the majority won't agree, but I think we should have a law cancelling my taxes! And if that doesn't happen, and I decide to get violent about it, then it's the government's fault for not legalizing the tax exemption I was demanding!

I know I know - drugs are just like alcohol, yadda yadda.

I know I know - drugs are just like alcohol, yadda yadda.

Actually, most illegal drugs are significantly less harmful than alcohol.

The only reason alcohol is still legal is that trying to ban it failed so spectacularly that it was wisely reversed.

Pity that modern legislators aren't as sensible as those in the 1930's.
