Don't breathe in kids! Governor leads the way in massive ganja burning party!

BANGKOK: -- School children were invited to a huge ganja burning party in Bung Karn in the north east of Thailand yesterday as eight tons of dope went up in flames.

Pongsak Preechawit and his deputy invited the school children along with dozens of others to lead the way in setting fire to the ganja that had been collected by the cops in 261 busts over the last two years, reported Thairath.

The bonfire had to take place at a police firing range such was the huge quantity of grass on the grass.

Car tires were intermingled among the blocks of compressed dope and fans were set up to help it burn more easily. The drugs were raised off the ground on a metal frame in a joint operation set up by police and soldiers.

Even so the fire is expected to burn for two days - and a 24 hour guard will be in place just in case the drugs gangs fancy trying to get their wares back.

The governor used the opportunity to remind the public of the illegality and danger of the drug trade.

Khun Pongsak and his friend look pretty happy!

[daoyai]

They could have composted it but hey, that would have been too progressive for these regressives.

[jamesbrock]

7-Elevens better put on extra staff for the next few days...

[tukkytuktuk]

The Governor, his wife and friend are stoned (wasted). Cheech & Chong eat your heart out.

[EvilDrSomkid]

Tommy Chong just passed away.

[tukkytuktuk]

Better pic. I bet they spent a fortune on their lunch break.

[mamypoko]

Could have at least removed the plastic wrap

[jessy88]

"In a joint operation", ?

[Dexlowe]

"Yes, my son, I had such happy memories of school. What I can remember of it."

[Alive]

This is as comical as it gets. They all smile when they should be angry and disgusted in this drug. You know they know they are getting something from it and they want to.

And they threw in some car tyres just for good measure!

[jonclark]

Bet some of the kids robbed a couple of bricks when the cops weren't looking. 

[HiSoLowSoNoSo]

The local cops must been crying when they saw this gone up in smoke, how much money could they have made out of that pile? or are they only interested in Yaba these days?

They should be ashamed of themselves. People are suffering because of cancer when cannabis can cure and relieve pain. Your unhelpful comments only underline their ignorance.

Burning revenue....Obviously science is overlooked.  Consider all the the other high life drugs and beverages.  I'm lost on this one. And once more....bring kids into the game.

What a sad waste. :-(

Actually, I was just taking the piss but if they really do think it is bad maybe that is how they should feel instead of smiling (and laughing?) as they find themselves in a giant ganja cloud. Anyways, I agree what a waste but I bet this experience will make them say yes if ever someone offers them a chance to get a ganja high again.

[williamgeorgeallen]

would seem that burning a pile of yabba would send out a better message about drugs as much of the western world is moving toward legalizing weed.

[BlindMagician]

They do look happy.

 

And the pollution? Burning anything weighing two tons ain't gonna be good for the green. Burning rubber tyres in the mix!? Nice idea. No risk of nasty gases or smoke from that.

 

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

[mesterm]

They should have played this song while doing it.

The kid who is 3rd from the left. Is that a giant pipe stem leading from his mouth to the center of the ganga pile? He should one happy camper for the next few weeks. 

[waldroj]

"... a 24 hour guard will be in place..."

 

 

For how long?

Not all ganga in the world is gonna make that happen. The only Twinkie anyone's going to get will have to be purchased from Seven.

[DoctorG]

Global warming mitigation anyone?

Point taken. I can remember some years ago visiting a Hindu temple in India. On the left was a soup kitchen for truckies and the like. the centre section was for prayer and on the right was an infirmary where the residents were rolling up damp balls of ganja about the size of a tennis ball. When I enquired about them I was told they were stored and later used to help relieve the pain of the sick and dying.

It was pleasing to know that at least one country had the good sense to put the weed to good use. 

[JustNo]

Oh great, a nice dose of burning plastic fumes as well. I am sure burning this weed saved a lot of harm done to society and it was well worth it 

The quality of the weed was probably pish poor anyway 

[Lupatria]

...and for the entire day  Bung Karn became the capital of munchies!
