    Thanks to all the diligent research being done. I have a question for all or any here. My biggest concern, is the use of pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers. I know that Thai farmers like the stuff.

    So a test of purity for me is the ash. Can you folks tell me when giving a critique on a certain product, if the ash you get is black and chunky or white to light gray. I like to know what I'm ingesting.

    Thanks in advance.

    There was one...  he got run out of the country and lives alone in Australia.  Luckily so far it seems his family here is still alive.

    Documentary worth watching for those that haven't seen it.  Nearly a tear-jerker at times.  Buddha help this goodness-forsaken corruption-hole:

     

    I was impressed by this man also...until I found out he was in charge of the infamous Koh Tao cover-up.

    A touch of reality.

    I recently check out five dosed-up reefer smokers from a villa.

    When I arrived at the villa, all five were comatose in their beds. They had to be out of the villa within 45 minutes - next guests were due and we needed to clean and disinfect the villa.

    It took 90 minutes to get them dressed, packed and out.

    It took one guest 10 minutes of 'wobbling' trying to put his feet in the legs of his pants.

    They then proceeded to get on their rental scooters (not an easy task) to return them to the rental company.

    One guest fell off before he got to the end of the road.

    Yes, an extreme case of 'too much wacky baccy' but they were a danger on the roads.

    I am 100% sure that this is not the only case of idiocy here in Thailand, but the majority of them will never make the newspapers.

    Something more than cannabis going on in this story. Why do people make up these stories anyway?

    Root canal specialist?  It's a pretty standard procedure for any dentist with more that 2 years experience. I agree with @scubascuba3, Dr Warin is my go-to guy, but his popularity means a long wait time, maybe stop by and see if he can fit you in. 

    8 days will be a tight fit/rushing it.  My last root canal was done over several weeks.

    Endodontists are specialists in saving teeth and doing root canals.

    Now we'll be deluged with posts about the potential negative effects of marijuana by every member who has never tried it or have only tried in once with mix results.  For those who are simply doing a copy and paste from an anti-cannabis Internet resource, please be kind enough to attribute your information.  Those of us who have been around this culture for fifty or sixty years actually understand the effects.  So when I hear that there has been a "marijuana overdose leading to death" the first thought I had was "there's a first" and my second thought was, "I wonder when they'll release a Thai version of Reefer Madness."
    Good to see they actually performed an autopsy.
    Then we start hearing that Thais are being admitted to hospitals for ingesting leaves that have no psychotropic active substance.  At best you'll get a little fibre in your diet.
    Can someone be allergic?  I imagine so, but without taking a test by a doctor who specializes in allergies, claiming you're "allergic to cannabis leaves" after eating a cannabis leaf in some soup is unproven supposition.  Maybe the soup had not been stored well and they had a reaction to bacteria? 

    I'm sure there will be plenty of misinformation and hyperbole over the next few months to keep the us all entertained.

    I agree with most of what you say except for your info about leaves. I have been baking for years with just leaves and I guarantee that they can get you extremely high. All you really need to do is look at a healthy flowering plant in the sun and you can see the trichome laced leaves all over it. Drop by and I'll give you a cookie or two.

    Sounds like the same argument people make about Covid deaths.

    In this case, if he would not have been on weed which causes increased heart rate, he would probably still be alive.

     

    Written by Natalie Saunders, B.A., LicAc:

     

    marijuana is not completely free of adverse effects. It can cause dry mouth and eyes, drowsiness, dizziness, and increased anxiety and paranoia in susceptible people. Cannabis can also cause your heart to race, a distressing side effect if it catches you by surprise. Furthermore, some people even claim that weed can increase your risk of heart attacks.
