Is that the best they could come up with? A bust of 0.9g. That is embarrassing not only to the poor sap who got caught but also to the police. Weed is so readily available in Phuket that I cant believe this is the best they could come up with. There is more to this story than meets the eye.

Thailand's finest volunteer police force.  Does anybody have any idea where the old farlang’s coming from? I guess they’ll have to make a background check for this guy, I’m serious. #53

Umm 0.9 grams..? Thats about half a teenth..! Must be the smallest bust ever.. Why didnt he just give the coppers 10,000 and be done with it..? Hey, have you ever tried to bribe a farang?  Hahaha....this old Geezer, Assistant Sheriff, is just funny. Where did they pull him out from? A Swed? Oh my god, normally they’re hiding behind trees because they can’t stay with other people. Source from a swedish guy !) Well, now everybody knows him. Time for a Whiskey man………………. #56

When the Tsunami hit south Thailand, specialists from the BKA Germany came over to indentify the victims. Officials came and told them that they’d have to leave, working without a permit. Please tell me if this guy is having a work permit. If not a reason to get kicked out, even as a volunteer you need to have a permit. Or is one law not the same law for everybody? #57

That's pure speculation on my part but, believe me, there's no more to add to the story, other than the Phuket Gazette have got his nationality completely wrong. #58

I'm always amazed that pot heads think that ganga is not a drug and that they don't realize when they are addicted to it. I speak from personal experience as many friends of mine (mostly Americans) smoke it .As a non user I can tell you Ganga smokers are boring company and I am glad the drug is illegal. I don't think these pot heads realize that it is serious for them if they are caught in possesion of it in Thailand. There must be better ways to enjoy yourself in Thailand than turning yourself into a half wit by getting "stoned." Addicted? i suggest your learn a little about the substance before making such a stupid post! Whenever I read posts like this, I picture the poster sitting in an internet cafe in Pattaya with a large Chang next to the keyboard and 3 empties under the desk #60

Problem is no one ever thinks they will be caught or banged up for even a small quantity. I quite imagine the lad that sold it to him, probably is working for the BIB. Easy Mark - drug dealer gets paid, and BIB gets an arrest.

The fact is that possession of ganja or small quantities of yaba does not automically equal deportation and immigration blacklist. Depending on how much "bail" you can pay, you can have your case expeditiously closed in about 7-10 days with no record outside of the local district you were prosecuted in. Thank you, come again!
If you doubt this, I suggest you take a peek at the Samui district court house which has clearly been subsidized by Full Moon Party busts. This is so I've heard anyway

Why was he stopped? was he smoking down the street or was he set up?
people who are stoned are more docile than people on the sangsom, ive seen so many accidents and fights all due to drinking in the heat than smoking weed. crazy draconian laws over there for a plant that they grow on them little islands you see scatterd about, lol, we were shot at and warned to get our boat further away from one of these islands, the fisherman said it was because they were preserving wildlife, never laughed so much, in a country that eats anything that moves what were they preserving. #66

The Plastic Cop looks so proud, what a loser.
Has to be drug arrest of the year to be able to find such a small amount.

Any of you claiming that weed is bad, I seriously hope you don't do other drugs -- like alcohol.

0.9 grams is nothing.... How did they find it??? Using a microscope?
 Maybe he got it from the cop next to him, as it is generally known that you get the best weed from.... yes indeed the police! I feel sorry for the guy

If police in Holland find 0.9 grams of herb in your pocket they will laugh and ask you if you need some more then at least then you can roll a decent joint... Nothing wrong with pot especially the Thai one  but This Is Thailand and Herbal Beaver is not very clever to walk around with a even a useless crumb of the holy herb in his pocket.However Herbal Beaver should be send home with a warning: 'we truly apologize for the caused inconvenience, but this is Thailand and, like America and many other countries we believe that councious people are a possible threat to the government, so we kindly request you to leave the country, thank you for your understanding' Taking this as a crime is rediculous ofcourse and boss in own brain ! I'm always amazed that pot heads think that ganga is not a drug and that they don't realize when they are addicted to it. I speak from personal experience as many friends of mine (mostly Americans) smoke it .As a non user I can tell you Ganga smokers are boring company and I am glad the drug is illegal.

If he only had 0.9 of a gram, I think it's a reasonable assumption that he smoked the rest of the deal... I think 500 Baht buys more weed than 0.9 of a gram, even in Phuket ...

The fact that being in possession of small amounts of ganga is a criminal offence i find totaly stupid but then to imagine they caught him with 0.9 gram and to talk about fines or even the death sentence! ...what planet are they from? Alas we have to accept that the laws here are often nonsense but the thai police and the courts take them seriously, In the end i guess its all about money and nothing more in such a case but this police volenteer character looks very suspicious!
