The stupidity level on this forum is astounding sometimes. She was caught with a tiny amount, so what? Drug laws are a joke anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High mighty sitting behind their computer. It's 0.2grams for personal use. Hardly worth 15 years in prison. A significant fine maybe, community service (which would be good in Thailand) but not jail. While other's drive unlicensed or drunk and kill 1 or multiple people in car accidents walk away with no more than a sorry, it's pathetic really. She's not a dealer, she's not selling. Remember the only difference between Alcohol and other 'hard' drugs is one is illegal the other isn't. The all ruin a heap of lives, cause violence, dependency and so on. Except 'weed', you'd be hard pressed to find the same amount of negative social consequences of that plant. (Note I don't do any 'drugs' and rarely drink, but I also believe in the choice for other people to do and deal with, the consequences of their own choices). Asia and their war on drugs....while running people over in the street is more acceptable. I'll never understand it.... You think taking cocaine is the same as having a bottle of beer?

phitsanulokjohn Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I fully understand the charge,but 15+ years and a 1.5 million baht fine,for what amounts to a quarter of a gram of class 2, just seems so disproportionate.We have 2 Burmese on trial for their lives,not for murder but for a fit up.These justices or injustices,are more than enough to scare the average western tourist off,from wanting to visit.Not exactly the sort of headlines to promote tourism.

Both are classified harddrugs only alcohol is legal, and alcohol is socially accepted but it remains a fact that they are both harddrugs that cause damage. Some can handle it some cant. Weed is actually a softdrug and does less damage than alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a couple of his TV shows and have wondered if maybe he was on drugs. He does things like tormenting snakes until they bite him, stalks tigers on foot in the Sundarban, dives face first into mangrove mud while filming mudskippers and walking in deep snow wearing shorts, socks and Crocs. His dubbed commentary is full of inaccuracies. However, his lady has been stitched up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanBBK Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I presume innocense until proven guilty. To my there was enough doubt to continue innocence assumption. Also interesting the catalog of pubishment mentioned earlier on. If I am reading it right, the her scentence exceeds the maximum punishment for the amount. Strange really, as the amount was very low within the bracket. Usually users get just a penalty for first time offenses and then have to follow up for some time with reporting etc. Anyway. To me this story stinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasset Tak Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Thailand used to use death sentence for drug smuggling and during the War on Drugs when Thaksin were running the country more than 2000 people were killed... maybe 15 years in prison isn't really that bad after all. Try a stunt like that in the Philippines now with Duerte in power and you probably end up in the morgue and if you are famous it's just make it a better warning to others to stay away from that shit...

Yes that is true, problem is many people can handle drugs quite wel, but a minority can't those are the guys that turn into monsters after alcohol or any other drugs. The majority uses drugs has fun and then return to a normal life. Its all about how often you drink and how you handle it. Quite a few people can't even do without alcohol (see the posts when there is a dry day). They are just as addicted as some other drug addicts. Its just that some can handle stuff and others can't Unfortunately for those who can the lawmakers have decided to make use criminal even if they don't do any other crimes, they do so to protect the weaker people who can't handle it.

impulse Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) Here's something to ponder next time you're landing at Swampy: Results demonstrated that "92% of the bills were positive for cocaine with a mean amount of 28.75+/-139.07 micrograms per bill, a median of 1.37 μg per bill, and a range of 0.01-922.72 μg per bill. Heroin was detected in seven bills in amounts ranging from 0.03 to 168.5 μg per bill: 6-AM and morphine were detected in three bills; methamphetamine and amphetamine in three and one bills, respectively, and PCP was detected in two bills in amounts of 0.78 and 1.87 μg per bill. Codeine was not detected in any of the one-dollar bills analyzed". (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contaminated_currency) Any one of us with a few $100 bills in our pocket could be next. She had 200-250 micro-grams on her. Wonder how the members of the "hang-em-high, they know the rules" brigade would feel if it was their loved one?

She had 200-250 micro-grams on her. Wonder how the members of the hang-em-high, they know the rules would feel if it was their loved one? Yep. ================= In a study reported in Forensic Science International, A.J. Jenkins, at the Office of the Cuyahoga County Coroner (Cleveland, OH), the author reports the analysis of ten randomly collected one-dollar bills from five cities, and tested for cocaine, heroin, 6-acetylmorphine (also called "6-AM"), morphine, codeine, methamphetamine, amphetamine and phencyclidine (PCP). Bills were then immersed in acetonitrile for two hours prior to extraction and subjected to Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. Results demonstrated that "92% of the bills were positive for cocaine with a mean amount of 28.75+/-139.07 micrograms per bill, a median of 1.37 μg per bill, and a range of 0.01-922.72 μg per bill. Heroin was detected in seven bills in amounts ranging from 0.03 to 168.5 μg per bill: 6-AM and morphine were detected in three bills; methamphetamine and amphetamine in three and one bills, respectively, and PCP was detected in two bills in amounts of 0.78 and 1.87 μg per bill. Codeine was not detected in any of the one-dollar bills analyzed". The study confirmed that although paper currency was most often contaminated with cocaine, other drugs of abuse may also be detected in bills.[4] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOUTHERNSTAR Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 In most countries she would have walked because of the bungling investigation. The chance of her being framed is greater han 50%.
