webfact Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 17 Students Hospitalized After Taking Hypnotic DrugBy Khaosod EnglishBANGKOK — Seventeen students at a secondary school in Bangkok were rushed to the hospital after they reportedly took hypnotic drugs at school.Doctors say their conditions are "gradually improving," though some are still the under influence of the drug, which has been identified as Nimetazepam, a powerful sleeping pill.Ratchapol, the director of the school in Samaedam district, said a number of students have told him that a ninth-grade student distributed the pills during a school sporting event on 7 January."Some students then started to act intoxicated, and they couldn't go home, so we sent them to hospital because we were afraid they might be in danger," Ratchapol said. "The doctors told me they consumed severe type of hypnotic drug that could kill them if they overdosed."Several students were at already home when their parents noticed their strange behavior. One 13-year-old eighth-grader refused to talk to his family and went straight to his room, prompting his father to suspect that something was amiss."I tried to ask him what the matter was, but he didn't make sense at all," said Praphat, the boy’s father, who eventually decided to send his son to the hospital.Full story: http://www.khaosodenglish.com/detail.php?newsid=1420794681 -- Khaosod English 2015-01-09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcisco Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I wouldnt be surprised if for many this was their first experience with narcotics, booze included. And that entire family of drugs they took could be quite a surprise for a few since they would of never felt or expecting to feel any of those effects. I'd imagine extreme sedatives would be a whole less fun to do than the illicit ones, they are way less fun than booze.... but thats me. Think now my gf is abusing these now, always sleepy, lethargic doesn't make sense.... come to think of it a few other girls i know are like this.

The pretty harsh thing on the part of the head master was he told his parents that he was excluded from school whilst he was there in a coma haha...

PEAP Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Not as harmless as some of you may think? Let us see what the penalty handed out here in Thailand is? In Hong Kong, nimetazepam is regulated under Schedule 1 of Hong Kong's Chapter 134 Dangerous Drugs Ordinance. Nimetazepam can only be used legally by health professionals and for university research purposes. The substance can be given by pharmacists under a prescription. Anyone who supplies the substance without prescription can be fined $10000 (HKD). The penalty for trafficking or manufacturing the substance is a $5,000,000 (HKD) fine and life imprisonment. Possession of the substance for consumption without license from the Department of Health is illegal with a $1,000,000 (HKD) fine and/or 7 years of jail time. (Ref.

Its part of how you learn to be a responsible person in adulthood . If you go down the "Drugs , bad , death and destruction road, they won't believe you or anything you say. Many people do drugs and don't die or become addicts and enjoy it and then grow out of it. 17 of them taking a heavy duty sleeping pill in school just shows you their naivety. Yes its bad yes its wrong , but they just learned a lesson I doubt they will forget 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
