Yaa Baa : Production, Traffic and Consumption of Methamphetamines in Mainland Southeast Asia Paperback / softback
by Pierre-Arnaud Chouvy, Joel Meissonnier
Paperback / softback
Description
The abuse of methamphetamines in Southeast Asia has become a major problem over the past decade.
Thailand has been particularly hard hit, and methamphetamines abuse now affects all sectors of Thai society.
In the early 1990s, manufacturers set up laboratories across the border in Burma and began large-scale production.
The new and inexpensive product, known in Thailand as yaa baa or ""madness medicine"", flooded the local market, and has also been found in the United States and Europe.
Published in French in 2002 and now made available in an English translation, this book is the first to deal with the rapid spread of methamphetamines in the region and in Thailand in particular, and their impact it has had on local society.
