    Two Women Captured with 300 Kg of Compressed Marijuana

    Authorities in northeastern Thailand have arrested two women and seized 300 kilograms of compressed marijuana. The women were apprehended after running a police checkpoint in Nong Khai province on Monday.


    Pol Col Apichart Phochan, told a press briefing the arrests came after a tip-off that marijuana would be smuggled from Bung Kan province. It was to be transported along the Mittraphap highway en route for Khon Kaen.


    A checkpoint was set up on Mittraphap highway in Khon Kaen’s Nam Phong district for interception.

    At about half past midnight, a Mitsubishi Pajero was spotted heading in the direction. Before reaching the checkpoint, the Mitsubishi made a sudden U-turn and sped off. Even more ignoring a police order made through a megaphone to stop. The police quickly jumped into their vehicles and gave chase chase.


    The vehicle sped through Udon Thani, until police forced it to a halt by shooting out its tires.

    Two women were apprehended and identified as Suthida Kuapol, 33, and Aporn Klinnoy, 40.

    Eight fertiliser sacks with 300 compressed bricks of marijuana, weighing 300kg, were found in the vehicle.


    Consequently the two women were charged with possession with intent to sell, Thai media reported.

    If this was through intel as claimed, much depends on the informant; if small time a grievance or reward, if big time a decoy for the real shipment.

    If they can't work out how to sell beer only to those over 18, then the chances of them managing the split between medicinal and recreational cannabis are slim, going on non-existent.

    Right now they don't need to legally distinguish between the two, if you have some they can nick you and we know where the burden of proof lies.

    Pay up and lose, or fight it and you've lost regardless of the outcome.

    300kg of compressed marijuana is still 300kg even if it's not compressed, so why mention 'compressed'?

    It seems that CBD oil is now available in LOS. It's a lot cheaper than in Japan too.

    No. Restricted to medical use - not recreational.

    The first website Wally posted ^^^ sells vape pens. I thought they were illegal in Thailand. Maybe just illegal to vape nicotine?

    ^ I think those pens are not the type that are related to lung conditions (as far as I know)

    I am under the impression that the vapors that are the problem are the type that have a water/liquid chamber, similar to a bong.

    I think those pens just have a coil that heats up to burn the product, and are different to the vapors that you see most people with, and are related to health issues.

    Again, I could be wrong.. Ive had a couple of puffs on a friend`s device but never owned one....

    Maybe just illegal to vape nicotine?
    I`m pretty sure that it`s the type used for dope are the type related to health . Also, the type that have the flavours such as cherry, apple, etc.

    Ha! Well I did say I wasn't clued up! - I did, however, own pen type devices about 5 years ago that had a heated coil to make it work. I bought 3 of them and burnt the coil up on all of them and gave up on them

    Yeah, I know, I can be a Wally at times

    Well the ones I owned about 5 years ago did. They were good when they worked - but I kept burning out the coil. I bought 3 of them, but as the coils kept burning out at $50'ish each, I gave up on them.
