Evening all
Have been here in the land of smiles for 25 years now... Smoked Meth for 8 years... Here's some facts on Yaba....
-Comes in different colours and flavours, including purple, green, pink and varying shades of red.. White is another one
- Can be smoked, snorted, swallowed but not Injected unless you wanna die really quick..
-Was made originally by the Thai gov. and distributed at Gasoline stations and local shops to aid long distance truck drivers to stay awake and work harder. In the beggining it was sold for between 5 and 10 baht per pill and use of it quickly spiralled out of control. It was then classified and villified by the thai gov. but still to this day is unofficially produced and policed by the P.M....
-It is nowadays given out mainly by Big construction bosses to any worker who needs one, fact.... I know of a few people in authority who would not dream of stopping serving it to his labour force. It's brutal, the people come to work, get charged up, then work tirelessly before crashing and repeating the next day. It serves as a productivity booster and at the same time, forms an intangible chain from the boss to the worker which can be relied upon (reliability and Thailand do not go hand in hand) so a chemical 'bond' is often sought.
-Some Bosses charge, some simply dish out a daily quota free, most simply charge a very small price..
-It was coloured and flavoured to make it attractive to school kids, vanilla being the original.
-Different Pill colours have different smoke tastes.
-The best route of admin. is definitely smoking... I know literally hundreds of Thais that echo this statement.
Anything else anyone?
