Half a tonne of marijuana powder seized in Udon
The Nation

BANGKOK: -- A combined security team seized over half a tonne of powdered marijuana in Udon Thani's Ban Dung district, it was announced yesterday.

Police said the smugglers shifted to powdered marijuana because it was more convenient to transport in a large batch.

Udon Thani police chief Maj-General Chaiyat Saithin said police set up a checkpoint in tambon Ban Chan following a tip-off and spotted a suspicious-looking pickup truck on Saturday, which then sped off.

The truck plunged into a roadside ditch and the driver fled.

Police found the marijuana in 519 plastic sachets. The seizure was the third of its kind, following previous busts in Nakhon Phanom and Sakhon Nakhon.

[NongKhaiKid]

[EvilDrSomkid]

powder ? whats that used for?

I think in this case that it is just dried MJ ground to powder so it is even more compact. They usually just press the harvest into blocks.

No way this is just THC crystals for hash pressing.

No mention of chasing him.

[dansan]

Powdered? That's a new one on me.

Only the third time they have made such a bust as well.

Looks to me like something either for export or maybe something new coming to the market.

Don't say you need a calculator to know how much 519 sachets of 1kg each weigh.

He's no expert.

He doesn't have a clue as to how the stuff is really made.

[gpdjohn]

Powder?

Kief maybe...

Thailand should get away from it's current shit status and be the first country to legalize weed over here. why don't you ever hear of any stories from places like Amsterdam?

I'm still amazed how society plays by last generations rules. Too bad that this country is full of mindless zombies who actually think weed is the same as yaba. So much stupidity here.

Thank god. The constant pounding over the past 3 months of those old woman pounding with their mortars and pestles kept me awake all night. I knew I couldn't believe the owner of the building who told me he was running the biggest curry paste factory in Thailand

Depends if you use the Moroccan or Indian method... not that I would know anything about that kind of thing.

a sachet is a small bag, certainly not 1kg. They probably guessed the powder was taken from half a tonne of plants - more propaganda to show Prayuth cleaning u the country.

What do you mean "so much stupidity here"?

I think you'll find mindless zombies in countries like the US and UK who think weed is more harmful than alcohol.

[lust]

Actually, the U.S. has started to legalize it. Also, you won't get locked up with murdering tittyfucking rapists in the UK for smoking a joint or will you be a convicted criminal for even possessing any traces in your urine regardless to where it was consumed. Some people use medical marijuana in their home countries and are not allowed to visit Thailand.

Any further argument?

[thequietman]

Ban Dung !........................... that's the shit right there.

Why did it take them so long? They decided that alcohol was perfectly safe back in the early 1900's. Mindless idiots is the reason, biased because they probably like a drink themselves but are too close-minded to try something new.

People don't get locked up here for small amounts of marijuana.

Marijuana is non habit forming so these tourist can easily come here for a couple of weeks.

Yes, but many states in US now have a better understanding and have now legalized it.

Is that a bad thing? It's legal in more advanced countries.

Yet alcohol companies are allowed to promote sporting events. You miss my point about weed being totally harmless compared to alcohol.

Isn't it ironic when the only reason its illegal in Thailand is because of the so called American war on drugs.

Pathetic is a more suitable word.

That's the word I was looking for, but I think it very unlikely it is/was kief.

Go tell that BS in front of the grave of my brother-in-law from former times whose life was so stuffed up with the crap that he ended up hanging himself.

It pisses me off when I see those who would use the stuff going on about how great it is and how it should be legal when I have seen first hand the damage it can do to people their lives and their families.

Bad enough having tobacco readily available for the young to get addicted to without adding anything else.

Mindless idiots are the ones who would allow the stuff so those whose lives are so pitiful that they need a drug can get themselves doped up.

I think you'd find that he had other issues not caused by the weed.

If weed were socially acceptable, I wonder how many people would be saved from diseases such as alcoholism.

If someones life is pitiful, there are many things to get addicted to that are perfectly legal - booze, gambling ,sex, food etc.
