Coca plants are grown in the Andes highlands by small farmers. They sell the cash crop to drug dealers who process the leaves into cocaine for shipment to demand centers such as the USA and Europe. Their smugglers run a gauntlet of thieves, government agents, police, and military, however more gets through than gets caught.
Thailand has a death penalty for drug dealing. Those convicted routinely are executed by lethal injection. This ultimate penalty has done nothing to stop the flow on drugs and it is obvious to anyone other than the government that the war on drugs has been lost a long time ago.
This defeat is despite the recent raids in Koh Samui netting a Thai-farang cocaine ring selling their product to revellers at the classic Full Moon Parties on nearby Koh Phangan.
"It was quick, secret, well-planned and no lives were lost." The head of the raids declared to the Press. The arrests came after the detention of Nigerian traffickers, who confessed 'freely' to NSB agents the full details of the operation from South America to Africa to Europe to Singapore and finally Thailand.
The Full Moon gang's leader was an Iranian exile targeted by the DEA. He did not resist the search of his house. You don't say no to Thai police. The investigators claim to have found money, cocaine, and bank books.
When asked why the NSB officer picked 8/1 for the raids, he smiled, saying, "My fortune-teller said it was a good date."
5 suspects are under custody awaiting charges.
A day later you could still buy cocaine on Koh Samui.
Good work.
