The Dumbest American In Pattaya

An American was arrested in Pattaya for selling meth to feed his own drug habit.

If you are a drug addict, looking to enter in to the drug-dealing profession, then why — out of all the countries on the planet you could choose live in — why would you come to Thailand? Why not stay in America, where drug enforcement isn't as harsh? Why not go to Australia or England, where penalties aren't as stiff? Why not go to Europe, where addiction treatment options are more available? Why not at least go to Japan or Korea, where the prisons are better?

Thailand is not Malaysia or Indonesia, so this guy isn't facing the death penalty. Nonetheless, he's now looking at spending the next 10 years in one of the scariest places on earth: a Thai prison. Well, that will probably cure him of his addiction.

I know that drug addiction is a terrible thing that leaves a person with few choices in life; but to choose to pick up one's addiction and move to a country where the police dissappear the drug dealers and addicts they catch into a hellhole for periods of time measured in decades is the worst choice of all... almost a worse choice then getting addicted in the first place.

Whelll: The guy was busted selling crystal methamphetamine while out on bail following a previous Class 1 drug arrest.

There aren't too many ways to deep fry your turkey better than that, don't you think, Mr. Anon?

maybe we sould have Thai prisons here and then we may not have such aproblem with Meth in the US. Unfortunatly it is everywhere including where I am we are in the rural area for Minnesota.

Many addicts simply have a death wish - that's why they choose drugs in the first place, as the most anti-social and selfish way to commit suicide.
