gemguy Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Someone didnt like any opposition on their turf. I concur..... The governor, in the white shirt ( I assume that is him ) is looking at the perp. like he is putting on a good publicity show and looking very angry and all..... But in reality he is really angry about other matters while he is going to let it be known who controls the recreational drug trade in his area and will not tolerate outsiders coming into his realm of authority thinking they can sell their drugs without consequences. I mean the audacity of some of these disrespectful Punks.........ya know what I am talking??...lol Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gemguy Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 THB 3,500/gram? I assumed this crap was inexpensive. Apparently not. Relatively inexpensive to make....but the street prices and the profits involved are very lucrative indeed and the main factor that prompts people to be so stupid as to be an illicit recreational drug pusher...for the money that is. For some, they may actually aspire to be another Kuhn Sa and retire as a multi millionaire with an air of notoriety. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
