Clear message in Thailand, DONT DO DRUGS..........

Yeah the message is very clear. I'm very anti-drug but sometimes the law can just go too far. You are taking away a person's life for making a poor choice for themselves. I've met with people that have hit rock bottom with drugs and figured a way out on their own to reclaim their lives and become quite successful. They are the best advocates for not using drugs. Put them in jail for a couple months maybe and at least give them a chance to see the light. When you take away 6 years of someone's life that's just way too much.

It's a strong message in one sense but it's quite the dichotomy when you know who the drug dealers are and don't prosecute them because of corruption.
