Drug blackmailers hitting farangs

[bobbyd]

Wonder if the police bust you for buying and using drugs after you report the drug blackmailers? Two foreign tourists who admitted buying narcotics risked going to the coppers to report the incident. The tourists, who were hunting for drug thrills are being warned that the risks go beyond the usual legal and health ramifications. Police are warning they also face extortion by the gangs from whom they buy the narcotics.

Another way of looking at it would be that it might discourage them from buying drugs in the future.

being caught with drugs on your body whether you use it or not is serious offense, no excuse, no mercy.

Dealers are mostly small fish, some may take revenge and have those tourist shot and beat up if they know who reported them. Not worth the trouble reporting the dealers unless you can jump on the next plane home.
