cup-O-coffee Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Well, I suppose one will find a lot of drugs in a place known as the Golden Triangle. I'll bet one could also find a lot of oil in the Middle East as well... or a lot of corn in Ohio as well. What's all the fuss about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post uptheos Posted June 14, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted June 14, 2013 (edited) The irony (of all governments) is that much of the drugs that are seized, from marijuana to heroin could in fact be processed and turned into medicines to alleviate the pain and stress of terminal and various other illnesses. There is no better pain medication than diamorphine, it's only called heroin when it's being discussed illegally. Burning and destroying it all, is a wicked, despicable crime.

Popular Post Wavefloater Posted June 14, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted June 14, 2013 better make cannabis oil out of it will save allot of people from cancer Wow -- how very well informed. Can I assume that you've seen the documentary "Run From The Cure"? I'm afraid that this thread will be closed, and I would only appeal to those people who make such decisions to let it run and allow relevant discussion by responsible adults about a substance that is a fact of life and has been unjustly demonized by the powers that be (for insincere reasons). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outlaw11wa Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 They say Nahkon Ratchasima well when I am in Thailand I live at home with my wife in Loeng Nok Tha, top end of Yasothorn 40 minutes south of Mukdahan. That's a long way past Korat before you even get close to the Maikong. Possibly a Bangkok journalist polite way of saying Issan without using the word?
