LNV Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 It would be good to know if there was a similar watt up north for rehabilitation. Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisinth Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 70% success rate (if true) is impressive. It is all too easy to say that these people addicted to drugs such as Yaba have only themselves to blame. If only it was as simple as that. The documentary was well presented as it showed the range of people that can/are affected from the 14 yo to the middle aged married man. I have empathy with every one of them. Yaba is not a recreational drug, no matter who tells you it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanhull Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Very interesting and thanks for posting, I have seen alot of crazy folk on the streets of bangkok which probably ended up in such a position through Yabba, evil drug and obviously ruins so many lives here... I would have liked to seen a tiny bit about the farangs who have problems with this in Thailand, I have heard a few stories from tourists/farangs loosing there minds on this stuff and I know alot of prisons have westerners inmates inside due to this terrible drug, good documentary all the same and what a great place the temple is probably the only hope for alot, I did notice some westerners in the temple getting treatment but they was not interviewed I guess, Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannot Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 "detox" nonsense from the temple i see. Id love to see the register of the non re offenders that they surely keep to prove their 70% success rate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daoyai Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 "detox" nonsense from the temple i see. Id love to see the register of the non re offenders that they surely keep to prove their 70% success rate Also lots of mumbo jumbo however if the the user believes the m. j. then it may strengthen their resolve to stay "clean"... I don't believe the 70% cure rate though, meth is quite addictive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sickwaterbuffalo2 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Once upon a time Thai police and military where fighting heroin warlords in the golden triangle not to stop the heroin trade but because every body wanted a piece of the proceeds as 70 procent of the heroin sold in the states and europe back in the day came from north thailand.
