A German engineer is set to be deported over a cannabis-fuelled rampage at his home in Thailand.

Claudiu Schuster, 37, a chemical engineer from Bavaria, reportedly smoke his homemade concoction of Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and marijuana before going berserk at his house in Krabi province, on February 17.

Police arrived at the single-storey home after his terrified Thai wife Kan, 33, reported that he was screaming and hurling items in a drug-induced outburst.

The German reportedly threatened officers that he 'he has a lot of money', but later surrendered upon seeing them converge on his home wielding hook sticks and Y-shaped poles. He was taken to a hospital for treatment.

Following his outburst, provincial immigration authorities have on Friday, February 21, ordered that the German husband be deported. They described him as a 'threat to society' and a 'danger to public peace'.

Footage shows police taking him away from his house to be detained.

Police Lieutenant General Panumas Boonyalak, commissioner of the Immigration Bureau, said, 'The Krabi Immigration Bureau has informed the German man of the order to revoke his permission to stay in the Kingdom. He was detained him to await deportation.

'Since there are a large number of tourists in Krabi Province, the Krabi Immigration Bureau has implemented measures to secure the province, ensure the safety of tourists and the public, and build confidence among visitors. If any members of the public see any wrongdoing, please notify the Krabi Immigration Bureau.'

Claudiu's wife Kan said her husband enjoyed smoking marijuana - now legal in the country - and often mixed it with various drugs to create custom brews.

She said on the day of his arrest: 'His latest experiment involved combining DMT and marijuana. But when he smoked it, he became delirious and was not himself. He had hallucinations. Sometimes he thought that the Buddha was with him. Sometimes he tried to climb out of the window.

'Today, he had hallucinations that someone was going to hurt him, so he kept screaming. He began smoking the DMT mix two weeks ago. He must have smoked at most 10 times, but he has completely lost himself. He is no longer the man I know, but a completely different person.'

Cannabis with under 0.2 per cent of THC was decriminalised in Thailand in June 2022, as a potential cash crop for impoverished farmers. Cannabis smoking is allowed for personal use in private areas but remains prohibited in public spaces.

However, bungling officials are now seeking to outlaw recreational cannabis, blaming poorly regulated use for allegedly fuelling drug abuse and a rise in the the number of cases of tourists over-indulging in the drug.

Tourist destinations such as Bangkok, Phuket and Pattaya have seen the negative consequences of legalising the drug, with tourists regularly arrested for misbehaving while under the influence of cannabis.

Earlier in January, Russian father Artem Bugorskiy, 45, allegedly threw his son overboard on a ferry while he was high on cannabis in Phuket. The teenager was killed by the boat's propeller.
