Following their new revelation in Chiang Rai, police are looking into the origin of ecstasy pills that have been imprinted with a Labubu personality.
After a karaoke bar was operating after the permitted hours on Thursday night, police officers raided it on Sanambin Road in Chiang Rai’s Muang area.
Six men and four teen girls under the age of 18 were spotted by the soldiers hanging out with them. Two of the men were possessed of numerous illegal drugs, including five ecstasy pills emblazoned with a number from the well-known toy Labubu that resembled chocolates.
The suspects claimed they paid 800 baht per medication, noting that it was the first day they’d seen a Labubu-shaped joy medication.
The origin of these pills is currently being worked out by the police.
Apikit Chrojprasert, the chairman of Narcotics Control Office Region 5, said the Lububu-shaped joy supplements were created to get fresh, trend-savvy medicine people.
According to deputy police chief Pol Gen Kitrat Phanphet, cartoon-shaped supplements may appeal to younger people, but they are just as risky as other meth medications and must be sucked up like other opioids.
In addition, Pol Gen Kitrat also disclosed the results of a new assault carried out in a number of Bangkok areas and areas as part of a fresh anti-narcotic task, confirming that 1, 700 substance users and dealers were detained during the procedure.
