I have been informed that it is exactly 18 pills (of X, no Ketamine was found). The problem falls with the law in Thailand; 15 or under is considered personal use - however, anything over that - it could be 16 pills or 16,000 pills - holds the same penalty - which could be either life imprisonment or even as unbelievable as this may sound - the death penalty! We just all need to hope that somehow this thing can be worked out so that DJ is brought back to the States and settle it here.
