This is the disturbing moment a German husband went on 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.

His terrified Thai wife Kan, 33, called the police when he began screaming and hurling items inside their single-storey home. They arrived at the scene, where Kan had fled to the yard and was hiding from her husband behind a tree.

Footage shows the crazed German ranting at the officers and allegedly threatening them that 'he has a lot of money'. He then started shouting at Kan when she tried to convince him to surrender to police.

However, the rampaging husband suddenly shifted his tone upon seeing the cops wielding Y-shaped poles to subdue him.

He is heard speaking to police in the video: 'Don't worry, I'm just happy. I'm not angry, I'm only happy! Peace!'

Claudiu then retreated into the house and re-emerged clothed before surrendering to the police.

Police Sergeant Theerajet Sommut, commander of the investigation unit at the Krabi City Police Station, said: 'The German was hallucinating from a combination of drugs that he had mixed himself. He is a chemical engineer. This was the second time he went crazy like this.

'This time, the damage to property was not extensive. He committed the crime inside the house and did not harm anyone. He agreed to be sent to a hospital for treatment. We did not press charges against him.'

Kan said her husband enjoyed smoking marijuana - now legal in the country - and often mixed it with various other drugs.

She said: '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.
