This was… a very interesting documentary and not just on Thailand but it also focuses on drug laws in other South Eastern Asian countries. This also touches briefly on the Vietnam War and how the American soldiers often become addicted due to the potent opiates in the area and how it became a staple in America – which in turn has effected Thailand’s culture around the drug.
I had no idea just how vast the drug culture in South East Asia was and this really opened my eyes to a lot. Checking the statistics after viewing they were all correct for the time (2017) and the information they give on medicinal uses was actually really astounding. I had no idea on a lot of the information that this documentary gave beforehand. I’m pretty sure I just learned a lot more watching this than in those “don’t do drugs” science lessons and social lessons and that’s quite alarming, actually.
An extremely interesting and eye-opening piece, curious and intriguing, I definitely recommend giving this documentary just an hour of your time. Whether it’s just to learn more, educate yourself on marijuana, or other reasons, this is definitely 100% worth the watch on an education point of view.
