re: "Govt frets over Rohypnol sales" (BP, August 21, 2022)
Dear editor,
Although I'm not sure that the 25-year-old man cited quite fits the shocking claims, it is nonetheless disturbing to learn that the drug Rohypnol is all the rage among fashionable Thai teens. I thought Rohypnol just made people pass out, especially when mixed with alcohol, and that it prevents the formation of memories.
It's all very well and expected that Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has asked the Royal Thai Police to perform as usual. We have, however, to wonder which aspects of the existing Thai nation that the prime minister of almost eight years, along with colluding parents and grandparents, have made for them that young Thais are so desperate to blot out from consciousness.
