I heard from a friend in Thailand, that the Thai Government has approved marijuana for certain medical conditions. l came back to the States about 4 years ago to have some major health problems taken care of. Unfortunately, modern medicine still has many medical conditions that cannot be cured. That is where I am; constant, severe, pain from a variety of illnesses, surgeries and nerve damage.
I am married to a Thai and dearly want to come back to Thailand, but I will never be able to do that without some effective pain management. To make this as short as possible, have I been misinformed, or has the Thai Government actually approved the use of medicinal marijuana?
Thanks in advance and Sawasdee Pi Mai and a Happy New Year

I have a Thai step son who has been in prison in Nong Khai for quite awhile. I recently heard from my best friend there that the Thai government is now requiring family members to pay for all their family member's food each month. Is this true?

No, that's no good, C . . . Thai drivers would break this ban like they break ALL bans. Better that the Transport and Environment ministries club together and repair/resurface every road that is currently showing signs of cracking. That would ensure safe travel!
Same propaganda for road safety, just a different year. Listen up people. There is NO substance to any of Thailand's road safety campaigns.

If there were underlying medical conditions, it won't be an easy case to prosecute. The estate can probably squeeze some money and a few wais from the bully though.
Thanks for telling us what we already know, Barrister whatsyourname? Are you getting this information while sitting in your office at work, or sitting in a recliner in your bungalow??

Just another annual statement of lies for controlling activities during the festival. It is all so predictable, knowing their plans will be a dismal failure. Why bother with all this posturing other than to try and look like the BIB are really doing something useful.

Although most likely from the thong, I have seen cases of parasitic worms causing itching. The worms can be ejected or suctioned out for lack of a better term, because of vigorous anal intercourse. The multiple thrusts accompanied by musculature contraction and increased mucous flow causes the delivery. I also note that practitioners of anal intercourse often lose control of their sphincters and are prone to leakage as they can no longer keep their contents inside. This is often indicated by a telltale odour of feces, wetspots and the staining of garments.
Thanks so much for the detailed, disgusting info on anal sex, Dr. Feel Good.......

1 hour ago, Get Real said:I assumed I corrected right, sorry if you ment something else. However, that is not the point. What I want to know is what a "1st world expat" is. Is that some kind of expression that shall provide us with a stance above other people that according to you do not own the same class as you appearently assume you do?
What ever a first world expat is, it sounds ridiculous as it is used in this context. First world is from which countries: USA, Great Britain, Germany, or where exactly. All of you seem to want to blame the driver, the owner when blame falls directly on all those Transportation Ministers, sub ministers, and road safety experts for allowing these buses to operate while knowing these horrific tragedies are predictable and inevitable. Lets send the driver to prison, fine his boss 10,00 Baht and all the minions I mentioned above can say, we did a proper investigation, which leaves them with a clear conscience while in reality they are more guilty of failure to carry out their transportation and safety responsibilities and they should be first on a court Docket, which will probably never take place.
Shame on all of them for their complacency and inaction on a problem that has been evident for many years.

Tourists should learn and adapt to the fact that there aren’t any traffic road rules and relgulations in Thailand, which means pedestrians are just mobile pawns at risk of being run over whether on the side walk or on the pedestrian’s zebra crossing, you are at risk of being injured at any given moment especially in Bangkok !
In this instance, the fat lump who tried to impose himself on the Thai guy miserably failed, although needless to say the police aren’t there to prevent this clash from escalating as it did considering that in the end the Thai guy would have got away with it in spite of the fact that he’s not supposed to ride on the pavement..Sadly, a foreigner is always a target in Thailand, I very much doubt he would’ve won a court cause in an orderly manner ?
Win a court case? Words almost escape me. This is not your hometown legal system here in the L.O.S.

If you want to assign fault for this tragedy you can blame every driver who fails to maintain enough distance between his vehicle and the one in front of him. I taught traffic safety for a few years and the rule of the road was, and probably is still, two second interval between your vehicle and the one in front of you, and that time doubles for every roughly 15 KPH higher speed. 50 kph = six seconds following distance and that doubles on wet roads. I will be the first to admit it, I don't follow the rules on Thailand's Hells highway and I doubt anyone else does either, but the fact remains, if you want to stop safely you need to be far enough behind the other vehicle in case a BIB suddenly appears in the road 100 meters away.

I would think that $$ prevented her arrest, not surgery or the car.
My thought is that there were too many BIB cell phones calling to warn the suspects of the pending raid. A 25% seizure rate at suspected locations sounds like someone knew the BIB were on their way.

He’s rich and banging a porn star - who’s laughing at him ?
Due diligence for a marriage. That seems the sort of thing one business would do when considering merging with another business. Next, someone will be asking if he needs the little blue pill before doing business with the Missus. This just reinforces my opinion that almost anything is news worthy. Maybe her specialty was where Monica got her cigar talent for Slick Willie. Now that is a different kind of Humidor.....We are probably just jealous of him....Crows feet around the eyes; now that is getting really critical. LOL

Why on Earth the west gives so much foreign aid to a country that has enough money to develop nuclear weapons has always been a mystery to me.
I agree completely. Why would we keep giving hundreds of billions in aid to countries that hate us and are driven by their Ideology and fanatical leaders to kill us? I have been quite Pi%#ed over this since I started hating all Washington politicians. We give them aid, they buy weapons, support terrorism, kill us, and we still Kow Tow to them while millions here are homeless and hungry. America has lost sight of who they should be taking care of, and it need look no further than any American inner city slum or Ghetto. Shame on us as a Nation.

Thank you Doctor for your extreme medical/cultural insight. Please expand on your diagnosis and suggested treatment plan for this lady's full recovery.

What is the foulest of names one can call a prostitute? I mean curiosity and all since my bad Thai word dictionary is pretty empty? This way I will know the next time my sister in law prostitute is called it.

In the full report, one of the drivers admits that the incident took place after a 'late new year's party'.
So I guess that had the police been on the ball at the time they could also have had them all up for drunk driving as well.
Objection, your honor! Speculation about drunk driving. Judge. Sustained.

The police could not subdue a 66 year old woman ? Ever heard of tear gas or even smoke bombs to confuse her ?
What kind of Micky Mouse cops were they ?
Confuse her, use smoke bombs, tear gas, you say. Please. This is not CSI and do not confuse logical decisions in this instance. Remember. We are in Thailand where many people hold positions they paid for instead of being trained for.

You have to laugh at the hypocrisy here. Just got to Pattaya and other night spots and everyone is naked. Oh I forgot people here come to see the temples. Yeah right!
Yes. This is at the top of my favorite BIB crime fighting stories for 2018, so far, then, tomorrow is not here yet.....

Only if they are not getting married in a third world country. By the way, did Trump tweet a list of those countries he was ranting about?

Just my opinion, based on 1 year, is gold or cash. Based on time frame not too big the bigger the bigger the expectation since one year isn't much to based a relationship since you aren't here full time? To Thais gold is the same as cash, anything brand name is just that today popular tomorrow not!
Use some imagination!!! I always opted for the hand made 4 meter cast net since we live on the bank of the Mekong River. I bought the net from her granny who always gave me a good discount, so I got out pretty cheap for 1,000 baht. Gold is a waste because as soon as the little lady needs some quick cash, off to the local pawn shop. As a sign of even greater love I gave her two well seasoned cane poles to use when her arms tired of casting the net. She loves me too much, sure.

Normally it's the farang who falls from the balcony !
Is this a news story or an excerpt from a cheap porn novel? As they were about to climax, she fell over the balcony. What a new low in journalistic reporting. I feel dirty reading the article and disgusted with what has been said. How about life w/o parole in the Bangkok Hilton. He's likely to have some weird times there I wager.

That makes perfect sense because we do not hear to many stories of Thai men taking Thai bar girls to local tourist hotels.

I don't claim to be a 747 expert, jet mechanic or even a commercial pilot, but I will wager anything left in my bank account by Jan 12th, that this plane is not a 747, It is way too small. Maybe the shape of the cockpit would give it away if anyone would take a close look at the 747 which has been sitting at the Udon Thani airport for years. This looks more like a military transport. Business must be booming there noting the size of the outdoor restaurant...

Same story occurs daily in Thailand. Young kids driving small motorcycles recklessly. Not enough people seem to care about this issue to do anything to fix it.
Sad but true, Has anyone seen anything the Transportation/ police/ PM, having contributed to a safety campaign for these young teens> Sit them in a class and show them a day full of road carnage at about age 12 and make the parents attend to. That might make a lasting impression. Life is so cheap here and nobody seems to care how many are killed in accidents like this.
Medicinal marijuana
in Health and Medicine
Posted
Lots of information to sort through and wait, probably for several years before any Expat living in Thailand may be able to get Medical Marijuana. I will probably be better off moving to a state that has legalized recreational marijuana instead of waiting on the medical wheels of Thailand to put forth a clear policy. I have used it for pain relief a few times and I would gladly give up all opiates I have taken the past four years for marijuana. For those of you there who suffer terrible pain from injuries or other conditions, I feel for you too. I have been away from my family there for 4 years and I cannot come back to stay unless this medical marijuana issue has proven to be available for expats. Happy New Year!
