webfact Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Long holiday drug bustNAKHON PANOM, 15 July 2014, (NNT) - About 500 kilograms of marijuana have been seized in Nakhonpanom Province as offenders took advantage of the long holidays in Thailand smuggling the cannabis from a neighboring country.Officials yesterday discovered 478 bars of marijuana worth approximately 10 million baht hidden in the forest near the Mekong River in Tah-Utain District, Nakhonpanom, suspecting the weeds had been smuggled in to Thailand by an international smuggling ring.According to the authorities, police acted on a tip-off about the drugs and, upon arriving at the scene, found the cannabis stashed away in the forest but could not find any culprits. Further investigation will be launched to find the smugglers.The provincial authorities have vowed to step up the anti-drug measures. According to them, this month is the final period for harvesting marijuana, which tends to lead to more smuggling attempts given the enormous amount of weeds harvested. The officials seized 2 tons of the drugs last month. -- NNT 2014-07-15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seabass69 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 "Bars of marijuana"? Maybe they were smuggling gold and disguised it as pot to throw off the scent? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez, legalize it already. Alcoholics and now potheads...is that what you want? Oh well, not like there is any turning back from the abyss that almost engulfs us all. Overwhelming evidence (look it up) clearly shows that potheads are preferable to alcoholics. Death statistics alone confirm that. Hang in there sir, you are clearly waiting for the death of us all. It will come, but likely not all at the same time contrary to your implied pessimism. I must say however that the pessimism of most pessimists is generally well founded. I am optimistic about that. Seriously, sir, have a nice day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antsrule Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 And Thai kids hoover up the Shisha in horrendous quantities. It must be ok, it's legal! I heard it is not tobacco then I heard it is tobacco but the herbs neutralize the bad effects. REALLY!! Better check it out on your iPhone kids.

Emster23 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Do I have decimal point in right place, does this mean each kilo worth 20,000? Seems a bit "high" but I am not familiar with that market..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
