Not a food, but in my 20's considered it be - Hook Norton Bitter!

Talk about slave labor Pay the termites at least a living wage. They have a big family they have to maintain

They need a Union to fight for them.

If you re read my post, I have explained all this.

It's all about the progression to stronger substances, which can & does lead to addiction.

Some people can regulate their intake, but way too many can't.

What does concern me about legalising or the decriminalisation of Cannabis, is that at some point a stronger version will be produced.

When ingesting a compound - whether it is a pom, or a so callled 'recreational' drug, it's about potency, dose & route of administration.

It is not possible to OD on Cannabis if the person smokes it. But perhaps there could be an immensely concentrated product, that really could do harm.

In Farangistan, there's a synthetic cannabis available called 'Spice' which often triggers a Psychotic Episode, or an overdose event.

Cannabis Oil is very potent I believe; perhaps later, an injectable form will be available, a transdermal preparation, or a Tablet & thus causing MH issues....?

...and you have the same concerns about alcohol, which is a far more potentially damaging drug?

Yes I do, & look how the Brewers have manipulated people into consuming more of that Physically Addictive drug.

But this thread is a discussion about Cannabis, which is why I didn't include my concerns about Alcohol in my post.

But not stronger - I think that looking at marijuana in isolation means you don't actually understand recreational drug-taking and the aims of legalising or at least decriminalising this and / or other drugs and the inherent problems and the effects - your concern about "stronger" versions is at best a red-herring.

I think foar to many people have the wrong end of the stick and consider that the drugs themselves directly bring about the social problems associated with them.....this of course is not the case - strong or weak, a lot of the problems associated with drugs are down to the ways that society - usually ineptly - tries to handle them.

One of the main reasons that it is still illegal is the strength of the alcohol lobby in places like UK and USA. To see any of this is isolation is to ignore the elephant in the room

Nope, my concerns about stronger versions being available are not a 'Red Herring'. As different & more potent strains have been - & continue to be produced.

People like taking drugs & some people want more of a buzz, so look for a substance or a preparation that will get them higher.

I can remember over 20 years ago, some drinks manufacturer commenting on 'Alco-pops' said that they will help make the transition from 'orange juice much easier'.

And it certainly did. When in my 20's I only drank beer, & hardly ever drank spirits. Now, it seems that young people drink all the various spirit concotions regularly.

They want more of a buzz. Whether that's due to the Brewers influencing them I don't know. But I suspect it is, as all to often Alcohol is portrayed as being 'good fun'.

And 'more is fun' - right? Of course we know that's not true.

Ingesting Cannabis alone doesn't seem to make people aggresive or commit indecent assaults.

But as we all know, when these events do occur, it is very often because of Alcohol.

The use of Silver in the treatment of bacterial infections, has been well documented. It is not quackery.

I had Jock Itch for the last 6 weeks, & after trying a few creams, found that Quadriderm Cream & Ketoconozole Tablets cleared everything up in about 7 days.

Ugly

Traffic is allready vely dangerous with loads of accidents. That will only get worse.

There are many drunk drivers, then we also get stoned drivers.

Also it isn't any good for the working mentality.

I don't see any advantage for when it was legal in Thailand.

give me at least one documented example of stoned driver causing an accident

Just because this information is most likely not available,it does not mean this doesn't happen.

Drug testing after an accident is relatively new.

It's a plant that grows naturally out of the ground. I'm agnostic, but how do you tell god that his plants are not welcomed here?

Yes, & so is Coca & the Poppy plant.

How do think your point worthwhile?

Not that Russia or China are any better....

but the us is way too fond of 'helping' ie invading other countries.

My wife says "sugar" is not an an essential part of Thai cooking.

She never uses stuff

In that case her cooking is going to be unbalanced. Crucial to every dish (and to every meal overall) is the balance of sour, sweet, salty, bitter, and spicy. Take away one element in a dish and the food is not going to be "right".

Which can be achieved without the addition of sugar.

Your post implies that sugar must be added to everydish. This is incorrect.

What kind of guy gets down on his knees to piss?

the kind that are too pissed to stand up

Ahh yes, I remember those days as if they were yesterday.....

Omg...it was only last night!!555!

As long as the Pork is cooked well enough you will be OK

more worrying is what you don't see

correct: cooked poo is harmless

Gentlemen, I worry about you both; have you actually tried this?

555!

There is even a third poster who theorize about foreign poo bacteria may cure his overweight.

There are some people who actually have Fecal Transplants...

They take the merde & whack it up the rear shoot.

Don't think I'll be doing that somehow....

I would offer to burn all the forest off all lands of Indonesia in one fell swop. Let this country continue burning for a decade.

Are you a real person, or one of those Spambots thats having a Psychotic Episode?

Coz I find it hard to believe that anyone could make such a dreadful comment like this

What do you use them for?

Anyone that believes in this muck needs help, Next you'll start believing that spirits actually reside in your wife's ghost house and really consumes the offerings put out for them.

"Muck" Somewhat an overly strong word to use,don't you think.

Do you know anything about Symbolism; we are surrounded by it all the time.

It has a significant effect on all our lives....

Think about it a bit more, before making such seditious remarks - ok blud?

Time to get the jacket out.

And the Ice scaper...no...wait a minute. 555!

Glad she's ok, must have been so frightening for her.

I got caught by an undercurrent on hols in Greece when I was about 25.

It just pulled me out to see - not a long way; & only coz of my youth was I able to swim to shore.

There are several vdos on you tube - no doubt the aforementioned "scientist" will be able to give us an explanation using his rational mind.

800 and not a single picture?

I've had to look at my calendar and yes, it's 2015 and people still believe this.

As a science teacher, I've been fighting ignorance since the time i started teaching.

Not as easy as I thought

Would that be Domestic Science?

"Those that can, do. Those that can't, teach"

The internet and smart phones are to blame. Thai women think they are part of the international set and the world is at their feet, hi-so make up, cosmetic work, expensive cars, holidays, they think it's their right to have them all. Taking care of an old farang is bottom of the list.

Yeah, Thai women

striving for independence

and their own money is a

terrible thing.

How else are we meant to

control them & make sure

they stay with us?

Couldn't agree more Si, makes me roll my eyes in despair.,

Unlike the "Good 'Ol Days", women just do not know their place anymore.

They'll be a- telling us they can have an Orgasm next.

555!

Does it matter, is it of such profound importance to you to seemingly denegrate this event - whether real or fake, when it provides fun, entertainment & maybe more to people?

My result:-

Our perception test shows that your eyes "see" more than those of the average person.

Your sight is the same as everyone else, but your brain can analyze more data in a much faster way.

This ability is helping you in all the visual aspects of life, and we wouldn't be surprised if you work in a creative field.

I'm an engineer, does that count as 'creative'?

Yes it does. As you have the ability to mend things.

"If it ain't broke, fix it 'til it is"

That's creative....555!
