PHUKET: -- Police last night seized nearly 11 kilogrammes of low-grade bricked marijuana, a smoking device, digital scale, knife, dozens of sealable plastic bags, a home-made gun, bullet, two codien pills, an Iphone 5 smartphone and a Kawasaki Ninja motorbike from a 22-year-old drug dealer in Phuket City Municiaplity's Talad Yai sub district.

Mr Subin-Nimit "Golf" Rakwet, 22, was nabbed at about 7:30pm last night in front of the Kasikorn Bank ATM near Bangkok Hospital Phuket in a sting operation.

Police reported that earlier in the day an unnamed informant contacted the suspect, a suspected major pot dealer, to buy 1 kilogramme of improperly cured dry Thai marijuana for a rate of B16,500.

According to the police report, the informant used a mobile phone and Facebook to communicate with Golf, who told the imformant to meet him at the above location.

Upon positively identifying the suspect, an force of officers presented themselves. The suspect initially claimed innocence. However, police were unconvinced and verified that the suspect's phone log verified communication with their informant.

A subsequent search uncovered a brick of marijuana hidden in a gas can filled with tea.

Police reported that the suspect then volunteered a confession that he had more pot stashed at his residence in Soi Payoon nearby.

The suspect then led police to said room, where they found 10 more bricks of marijuana inside a cabinet. The stash was reported to weigh 9.6 kilogrammes.

Yaba and Ice are an epidemic in LOS. The police waste their time chasing down marijuana and kratom. Prioritize, you idiots.

...'improperly cured Thai marijuana'....

....seems like 'common knowledge'....which can only come from long-standing presence in Thai society....

Lock up and throw away the key ..

For a bit of weed?

A plant which is legal in more and more countries.

A plant with medicinal benefits.

I'd rather see alcohol being more controlled and marijuana more easily available.

Really ? it's still illegal in Thailand last time I checked and 11 kilos is a large amount.

Parking violations are illegal, does someone with a large amount of parking tickets deserve life in prison?

Weed is harmless. If you read on in the article linked in OP:

Despite the status quo of Thailand's outdated, US DEA-backed drug policies, there are no independent, peer-reviewed scientific studies that conclusively prove any of the three species of ganja or cannabis are physicially or chemically addictive, or independently harmful for human consumption.

The Police are now sitting outside enjoying a free tote and at peace with the World

That would certainly explain the dealers sudden 'confession'. Perhaps they offered him a reduced jail sentence if he'd hand over the rest of the stash for, erm, confiscation.

Would that be liquid tea or leaf tea? And, in a gas can?

I thought that the suspect was female judging from the facial features and the hairband.

Really? You are sad...

Why would you say that?

It's an offence and he didn't have 11 grams, but 11 KILOGRAMS!!

That is not an unsubstantial quantity.
