Who alerted the party goers?

1 less drug dealer

No great loss to the world

Good!

...but they got The Frenchman .....

What the hell is a "drug party"? A bunch of people gather together and take a yaba pill or two and wander around twitchy for 12-24 and then take another pill ?

 

Are they smoking crack?

 

I've gotten around a bit but other than some swinger parties in the 70's where there's a bowl of quaaludes or something on the table, or parties with coke on the table in the 80's , most parties are just parties and while alcohol is consumed by many people there, there's no group drug taking. 

Even in the highly social atmosphere of sharing when pot-smokers get together, the point is the party, not the pot. 

 

Are there also cigarette parties? Coffee parties?

 

Is this "drug party" some unique Thailand thing?

Car chase shooting on the Friendship Highway. Gr8 stuff.
