Buying Ecstasy Yangon

When the waiter returns, a group of four men and two women openly cut and snort lines of ketamine, a powerful anaesthetic commonly used on animals, under dazzling laser beams. Before the military coup, this club was just like any other night-time entertainment venue — a place for Yangon residents to drink and dance away stress after a long work week. A doctor and the founder of a Yangon-based organisation helping victims of drug addiction told Frontier that he was dealing with an alarming rise in young patients since the February coup. Security forces responded to mass protests by slaughtering hundreds of civilians, sparking a broadening civil war, while erratic policy decisions collapsed the economy. During the previous administration, petty drug use among young people in Yangon was curbed by a campaign launched in by the military-controlled home affairs ministry that encouraged people to become whistle blowers, with authorities offering informants large cash rewards. In the months immediately preceding the coup, Chinese triad groups operating in the Greater Mekong region began a rampant expansion in the narcotics production. These groups have historically dominated the drug trade in Myanmar with the acquiescence and active participation of certain ethnic armed groups, military-aligned Border Guard Forces and individuals backed by the Tatmadaw. Key among these are precursor chemicals that enter Myanmar from China, either as mislabelled commercial chemicals or smuggled in unmarked containers. The pills are produced in their trillions in jungle labs throughout eastern Myanmar and exported to Asia and beyond. With production both rampant and unconstrained, post-coup conditions provide fertile ground for an upsurge in domestic drug use. Happy water is now so ubiquitous, that a sachet was recently accidentally consumed by a monk and his lay servants in Tachileik. From March, the military intensified its violent crackdowns in Yangon, killing hundreds. Ko Jeffrey told Frontier that, while the open sale narcotics such as methamphetamine used to only be prevalent in mining township gem markets, such as Mogok in Mandalay Region and Hpakant in Kachin State, they are now prominent in black markets in central Yangon. Heroin and crystal meth, known globally as ice, can now also be purchased across Yangon as if it were being sold legally, Ko Jeffrey said. While the cost of fuel and basic goods has risen dramatically since the military takeover, the price of street drugs has slumped — at the time of writing, a can of Coca-Cola K, or US 25 cents is almost twice the average price of a WY pill K, or US 15 cents. Some people arrested for possession of drugs told Frontier that they believed they were only detained so that police or soldiers could extort money from them, and many had been set free after meeting cash demands based on the type and quantity of drugs discovered. They said that security forces at checkpoints where most arrests are made are more concerned with detaining anti-military activists and resistance force members. There was also a pack of 10 WY pills in my bag, as well as some weed. But Frontier knows of at least one other case when a Yangon protester was arrested with demonstration materials and marijuana in his vehicle, and the regime was happy to pile on drugs charges to extend his prison sentence, which he is still serving today. To many users, including Hein Thant, casual drug dealing now represents a low-risk way of making ends meet. He sells cannabis — which he says many dealers now feel comfortable growing in their own homes — but yaba has become his mainstay. Although selling drugs in Yangon is no longer such a risky business, those working with users say that they are seeing more people fall prey to side effects and addiction. He said that nobody had tested the chemical composition of the latest batch of yaba pills being circulated in Yangon, and claimed to have personally experienced serious psychological damage, including hallucinations and bouts of severe depression.

Myanmar’s dank web: Drug trade shifts to Facebook amid pandemic

Buying Ecstasy Yangon

The COVID pandemic has accelerated a trend towards online shopping in Myanmar and many other countries, especially among those affected by lockdown orders. Netizens are turning to the internet for take-away, fresh produce, clothing, gifts, jewellery, toys, video streaming… but also, increasingly, narcotics. Some drug dealers who use Facebook as their marketing vehicle even feature footage of themselves smoking marijuana and sometimes other drugs, such as methamphetamine. Frontier has found at least 23 public and private groups were created in September and October last year to sell drugs, a time when the authorities were putting in place movement restrictions to curb the spread of a second wave of the virus. These pages act as a marketplace rather than a shopfront, with multiple dealers active in each group. In contrast, most Facebook groups focus on the sale of marijuana — five pages are doing so quite openly — and the customers seem to be younger people in major cities, including Yangon, Mandalay, Nay Pyi Taw and Bago. But he cautioned that it was riskier for the buyer. The Frontier investigation found that most online marijuana dealers sell the tha yat or kyauk strains, or compressed marijuana imported from Thailand and probably grown in Laos. The cost per gramme ranges from K20, to K40, Some dealers even sell marijuana plants. According to a post from the admin, the page welcomes more than new visitors a day. Sellers mainly rely on highway buses to deliver orders, but some deliver direct to customers in nearby townships. Sellers say the best domestically grown marijuana is cultivated in Magway and Sagaing regions, which have vast areas of farmland in which it is easy to conceal illicit crops. After COVID restrictions resulted in the suspension of highway bus services, many online drug sellers turned to package delivery services. Most transactions are paid for using Wave Money, according to multiple interviewees as well as posts within the groups. The company requires its 65, agents to ask both the sender and recipient to show a Citizenship Scrutiny Card often referred to as an NRC , but in practice this is not always followed. Although there are dozens of private or public groups dedicated to selling drugs online, it seems they have yet to attract the attention of anti-narcotics task force police. One high-ranking officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that while close to 20, people a year are arrested on drugs charges, arrests for selling drugs online are quite rare. Frontier could find no evidence of an arrest being made as a result of a tip-off, and a spokesperson said that the information centre only acts if the person providing the information gives the name and exact address of the drug dealer. In , when it was less common to sell drugs online, a private Facebook group with more than 1, members was exposed by a weekly newspaper, The Voice Journal , prompting the group admins to immediately close it down to avoid possible legal action. On January 21, shortly before Frontier went to press, the Weed Lovers page also disappeared, although it is unclear why. The caution is understandable. Government figures released in showed that about half of all prisoners in Myanmar, about 45, inmates, were doing time for drug offences. The recreational use of marijuana has been decriminalised in some countries, including Canada, Portugal and South Africa, as well as in several states in the United States. The use of medical marijuana has been legalised in more than 40 countries, including Thailand, and in more than 30 states and the District of Columbia in the US. On December 2, the United Nations Commission on Narcotic Drugs removed cannabis from its schedule IV of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, where it has been classified as one of the most dangerous drugs, with no redeeming medicinal features, along with heroin. Unlike drugs such as opium and heroin, marijuana is not physically addictive, though there is debate over whether it might be psychologically addictive, and there is no known case of a marijuana user ever suffering a fatal overdose. But despite the trend of liberalisation elsewhere in the world, growing and using the cannabis plant in any form remains illegal in Myanmar, and as mentioned above, the penalties are severe. They claimed their company, III M Global Nutraceutical, was growing industrial hemp rather than marijuana, and had permission from the regional government. The American, Mr John Todoroki, later fled the country while on bail. Although the court ordered the release of a year-old girl who was working as an intern at the company, it sentenced a worker, Ko Shein Latt, 38, to 20 years in prison. In August the sentence was reduced to 10 years. Some groups in Myanmar are campaigning for marijuana to be legalised, but the government has never expressed an opinion on the issue. Some of those groups recently began online sales. In some NJ groups, the admins claim that they do not sell marijuana, but in others they advertise that they send drugs through the highway buses to other towns. However, not all dealers and supporters of legalisation are happy to see their drug of choice being sold openly online. Sign up for our Frontier Fridays newsletter.
