Gus has also written that amphetamines are the most widely used psychoactive substance in Thailand, but I would have guessed that alcohol is more widely used.
ReplyDeleteDo you have any statistics on this?
Gus said that "Yaa Baa" is the most popular drugs but Paully said that Amphetamine is the most widely used psychoactive substance.
ReplyDeleteYaa Baa and Amphetamines are the same substance but different name?
In order to be used widely, drug must be resonable price, I think.
ReplyDeleteI heard many people in Thailand use drug, even the poor. I wonder whether the poor can afford to buy amphetamines.
