The Sattahip sheriff led a team of officers from The National Command Centre for Combating Drugs (NCCD) to raid a school dormitory in Na Jomtien after reports from local residents had come in alleging that the young students were unsupervised and that they were growing and consuming marijuana.
At the scene they raided rooms on the second, third and fourth floor where a plethora of drugs and drug paraphernalia was discovered and seized including 3 marijuana hookahs, 3 chopping blocks and 5 kitchen knives.
14 students aged between 14 and 17 still in school uniform were arrested and given a free educational trip to the local police station where they will be instructed on the dangers of the wrong path that they had chosen and no doubt will be taught another lesson when they appear in front of a local judge for drugs possession.
It is not known if any of the students were agriculture majors but they were certainly getting plenty of green fingered experience as a number of pot pot plants were also removed from the dormitory premises.
One of the students said that they had turned to growing and smoking marijuana because of the high price of other drugs like Yaa Baa (methamphetamines) was far too high for their paltry student allowances.
Mrs. Suphaporn Thapthimhin, aged 42, who is the owner of this dormitory and was responsible for supervising the student's activities was conveniently not available for interview maybe she was laid up stoned somewhere.
