You are correct in your facts to a point.

 

The big problem is that just like having a glass of wine, beer or drinks a day will not hurt you

the odd cigar after a meal

Will not hurt you .

 

BUT

We all know that people will go to excess and that is where the trouble lies.

 

I have no issue with cannabis BUT I have an issue with the fact that anyone can sell it buy it or use it even kids.

 

An example is walking around NANA you can buy as much as you want more people are selling it and not really caring who they sell it to 

 

The problem with the legalization is that there are no rules no laws to regulate who and where it can be sold.

 

If you look at any country that has legalized it there are rules that go with it.  

 

Selling it online is no way to sell who knows who is buying it.

So could you please point out the difference between alcohol & cannabis? Alcohol is freely available & everyone knows teens can purchase it easily, add to this the fact that items like white spirits some of which maybe illicit with little or no regulation on sales. I do agree that there does need to be regulations regarding sale to underage children purchasing cannabis the same as cigarettes, & alcohol but as we all know in Thailand these regulations are not always adhered to.

You might think that with a massive prison population (~ 300,000), with the majority  (~80%, 85% for women) incarcerated for drugs (mostly methamphetamine). And with near daily busts of multiple millions of meth tabs, that "drugs" would be an "issue".

 

This was one of the smaller busts recently (yesterday).  https://thailand.postsen.com/local/51890/More-than-250000-pills-of-methamphetamine-seized-300-grams-of-ice-worth-more-than-30-million-baht.html

 

But no. Cannabis is the scourge. Because?

 

BTW, with Cannabis ( and Kratom) decriminalization some 3,000 - 4,000 prisoners were released. (So 1% of the prisoners were in for cannabis violations.)

 

If you want to challenge the BJT do so on their performance with MoPH and MoT.

 

The activity this article describes is just theatre.

 

The powers that be here do not want to address the real drugs issue.

 

 

 

 

Quite correct, Methamphetamines' are the problem because they do appear to be addictive. plus the main reason they are a problem is they are relatively easy to produce, you don't need a large plot of land or space to manufacture them and they are easy to transport.

At least they don't chase people. Harmless IMO.

No they don't, but they can still carry & transmit rabies in addition to damaging peoples property like motorcycle seats and ruin outdoor furniture, they also defecate on other peoples property which stinks to high heaven, cats should be kept enclosed and not allowed to free roam.

When does the campaign to contain the spread of dengue fever commence in Pattaya ...........LOL

The number of elephants in the wild should not be considered as too many, but their numbers may outgrow some of their habitats and feeding grounds, he added.

In other words there will soon be too many wild elephants .............

But this is a valuable part of the education. 

As stated above by tomazbodner, until the RTP start Enforcing strict penalties nothing will change because the general public know the police are lazy and will not act unless they have to.

Why don't you like cats ? They are naturally very cautious, and it takes time, effort and intelligence to earn their trust, but once you have done so you will have a very loyal and loving friend.

Not a cat person other than the big ones ????, my main complaint really is with the owners as they allow their pets to roam around damaging other peoples property and defecating where ever they want other than their own property.

Hmm ... no comment .

The ugly dog haters are out again ... 

You think you are nice people ? You are not !

Just spreading hatred ...

Get what you deserve .

This is where you people who think you are dog lovers are wrong, I myself like dogs (Not Cats) and am against people who own a dog while it suits them then turn them out on the street when it doesn't. This is exactly why ALL Dogs & Cats should be correctly registered and licensed and the people that turn them out on the street to annoy others prosecuted.

What about the People !!!! As usual thinking in the wrong direction.  Where are all the Emojis, especially one that doesn't agree with this action.

The remaining 20% involved dealing with certain venue owners who Passakorn said may have encroached on the walkways, which thereby moved the completion date to the end of September 2022.

I wonder what the odds are for the true date of completion ........................LOL

Nah they are both in cahoots & hedging their bets, probably got one of those funny handshakes ...............LOL
