Flashermac Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 The Office of the Narcotics Control Board (ONCB) yesterday warned people of a new type of 'yaba' is laced with dimethyl-amphetamine - which could get a person addicted to it after taking only two pills. ONCB secretary-general Pol General Pongsapat Pongcharoen said the new formula was so strong that a drug abuser could be extremely agitated and hallucinate. If the drug was injected, a person could fatally overdose, he said. The tablet is embossed with a crown shape and "SU" logo. Pongsapat said it was stronger than the heroin-laced yaba formula that officials discovered in April. The new pills were reportedly produced in Myanmar, police would contact their Myanmar counterparts and ask them to investigate, he said. The discovery of the pill stemmed from the arrest of a Nan man, Natthapol Arin, 35, in Chiang Rai's Pahn district in early May. He was allegedly smuggling 600,000 yaba pills in crates that were to be delivered to a market in Pathum Thani for distribution. http://www.nationmul...a-30235144.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Scare mongering dimethyl-amphetamine is an impurity in methamphetamine and makes the dose weaker. Usually an accidental product when methamphetamine is synthesised by methylation of amphetamine if the reaction temperature is too high or an excess of methylating agent is used. For the record I don't condone the use of synthetic narcotics, this is just basic organic chemistry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YimSiam Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Not so, I think. Methamphetamine is still champion, there's nothing similar but more addictive (read: works better). Myanmar yaba-style pills are usually very adulterated with income-generating filler like forms of caffeine or MSM, so they are not very pure and thus not as dangerous. At least the change in administrations has not reduced the English language press capacity for BS... Would be interesting to know what motivated the cops to come up with this warning - they need to check Google. The Nation, too. YimSiam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
