House, "Chonnan" is confident in declaring that 5 methamphetamine pills are effective in deterring small traders. Pointing out that if you don't volunteer to receive treatment, just 1 pill will not save you from imprisonment. Explains that the law does not specify how many times drug addicts can be treated. Dr. Chonnan Srikaew, Minister of the MinistryPublic Health gave an interview about the case of name hunting. In order to cancel the announcement of possession of drug quantities. assumed to be an addict Because the quantity of possession of 5 methamphetamine tablets was determined, it was assumed that he was a user. It is inappropriate that we have to go see if What is the reason he gave? Because this announcement is issued according to law. As for us, we must follow the law and clarify what the benefits will be. What are the consequences if this announcement is not made? which since this law came out If no quantity is specified It will be a gap. But if the quantity is specified To separate addicts from traders Then taking it into treatment and returning it to society will solve the problem. 'Currently, there are 1,900,000 people in this group. How will they manage if they don't get them treated? Therefore, it is an important reason for the law to be specified in ministerial regulations in order to bring these people into treatment. Previously, there was a matter of possession of 15 amphetamine pills. Now we have reduced it to an appropriate amount. To return the opportunity to those who are already addicted to not be able to become addicted again,' said Dr. Chonnan. Dr. Chonnan said that sales behavior It is not even necessary to specify 5 tablets. Just holding 1 tablet to sell is considered wrong. Confirm that this law has definitely been effective. 'We are confident that the main measures of the law as written And it is government policy to turn addicts into patients. to extract small traders mostly because Small traders will be born from addicts. Then the determination of 5 tablets was considered by t he committee. and approved by the Cabinet Passing the approval of the decree is considered prudent in every aspect. He didn't leave it himself,' Dr. Chonnan said. While recently it was published through social media that The announcement sparked a flurry of trading. The addict is jolly. Dr. Chonnan said that these are just words. If there is a situation Trading behavior is definitely punishable. The owner of the store in the clip appears to be in jail because he was the seller. The part that says it's jolly Just to cover up As for the people who go to buy We've given you a chance. If you do not voluntarily undergo treatment, you will be punished by law. There must be jail time. But if you volunteer, you must receive treatment. Once the treatment criteria are met, there is no punishment. Deep down, we want to cut off small traders. The small traders will start from taking 1 pill, 3 pills and so on until they have more money to buy so they turn into small traders. So we break the cycle in the first place. Whe n asked how many times the therapy can be completed? Because the police stated that You can receive treatment only 1 time. If you go back to using it again, you will be punished according to the law. Dr. Chonnan said that the law does not specify that How many times can I get treatment? It's at discretion. If he intends to voluntarily undergo treatment once, it should be successful. But various behaviors Sometimes you have to rely on the environment as well. If you return to an environment that has not changed We have to follow up and see what caused it. Should we give that person a chance or not? because according to law If he voluntarily receives treatment Still have that right But if there is an intention to go back and use it again, it is an offense.
