    You seem like the type that loses it over small altercations. Chill dude - I simply disagree. There were at least 4 bouncers and two Farangs. Should have they separated and chose two bouncers to confront the Farangs? Have you ever been in the middle of a violent brawl? This was not that bad. When you have extra limbs to throw they are much more likely to connect with the faces of the disadvantage party. From what I see it ended OK and the Farangs are probably out drinking already. Maybe they moved on to another bar the same night.

    I really am missing what other posters are seeing in this vid. Seems like a routine brawl and the head kick was too much but come on. It is a brawl and the chubby Thai dude was too amped to think rationally. He shouldn't be a bouncer but that could be said in any country about some bouncers that aren't equipped mentally to handle the extreme stress of violence.

    Very few facts??? Maybe you know something I don't which is prob the case.
  4. Had a couple similar remarks lately about the dose. I equate the high of decarbed weed to to smoking a gram of the same batch of weed. Is .1 gram really that small? That equates to over 25mg THC which is not a small dose?
  5. Yes, but you not so much. Chill, the sun will rise tomorrow and for thousands upon thousands of years. If you're truly concerned about global warming, being empathetic is always a soothing route to make a point. Doubt insults will get you anywhere but a confrontation which is what probably floats your boat. Does your body temp increase when you get angry? Might want to do your part and stop heating up. I'm going to go for a run and the temps are under 30 for the first time in months! Life is not all that bad.
  6. It rained last night!!!!!!! I'm already over global warming this year. Another year like the last and I might be screaming like Greta and spewing hate wrapped in a thin wrapper of concern.
  7. Using cash is overly complicated if you have your phone with you. A 100 baht electronic payment is clean and simple. The local vendors seem to like it. In many cases they beg you to to avoid dirty cash and locating change for your bills. Simplicity is king but I get why some enjoy swapping dirty bills. They are comfortable with what they have always done. Bet that British man that slapped the taxi driver over a 100 baht bill and was taken into custody wishes he would have gone the simple electronic route.
  8. That is interesting. I need to get out of my cave in the sticks and see what electronic transactions are available here. I opened a another KTB account and keep less than 20k in it for online purchases. BTW - this internet thing is also cool.
  9. Didn't this happen back in England and wasn't that even worse. Some just seem to always mate lousy women.
  10. Interactive Brokers and it might depend on the amount in your account. They also only allow one free wire a month.
  11. I hope not - now you are scaring me. Off for a run in 40c weather - no fun.
  12. Thanks and I'll try making some soon. The high sounds similar to my decarbed weed and peanut butter but I won't know until I try 🙂
  13. I agree but this last batch was a rare exception. Maybe it is the pesticides and not the THC 🙂 It is too strong! So many variables when it comes to purchasing weed in Thailand which I rarely do because friends drop off more than I could ever use and honestly throw large quantities in the trash after 6 months. Probably not going to be buying brick weed again but only because I have too much free organic ( claimed) weed laying around.
  14. Thanks - guess I'll try the direct transfer to Thailand next time and see what happens. Also it will speed up the process. Wired money to NY on the 29th and still not here in Thailand. Thanks for the info.
  15. I submit dollars. I didn't know there was difference in the exchange rate. I wrongfully thought the telegraphic transfer rate was static.
  16. Cool, missed this post. Just sent yesterday so have to remember to use Swift ( BKKBTHBK) in 6 months and save the $10 NY fee 🙂 Probably be posting this same question in six months 🙂
  17. Yes, I agree but why not avoid the $10 New York branch fee? Aren't the exchange rate the same regardless if you use the New York branch or send directly to Thailand using Swift?
  18. I have forgiving taste buds that aren't too nuanced. In teaspoon of peanut butter, I can't taste the weed at all and rarely even notice the texture. I have to look into concentrates. As for the buzz I get from edibles, it is much more powerful than smoking and I take a small dose. Below is a more than I usually take and weighs about .1 gram ~25 THC. I could smoke a gram of the same stuff and not be close to as high as eating it. I'm am a newbie of sorts and find this interesting and sorry if I'm boring everyone.
  19. I think you understood me correctly. Issue I have is that Bangkok in Thailand still charges the .25% or 500 baht max transfer fee. $10 NY Branch + 500 baht in Bangkok Bank fee in Thailand. The benefit of the NY branch is to avoid international transfer fees but my bank doesn't charge any fees hence no reason for the extra step of using the NY branch. Confusing 🙂 Blessed that I have the time to worry about a $10 fee I pay twice a year...
  20. I hear that often but why is it difficult to eat decarbed weed? Maybe I'm just a brute 🙂
  21. And I never suggested eating raw weed. But if I did, it would have mild affects compared to decarbed weed. You ever eat a large dose of raw weed? I haven't but curious...
  22. Interesting and I will do some more digging. Thanks for taking the time to explain. Weird, I have been told by many people and web sites that mixing decarbed weed with a fatty food improves the high substantially. If I could just take a pinch and swallow that would simplify the process and I like simplicity. Off to do some research. Cheers
  23. I'm not charged for international wires from my US bank and have been using Bangkok Bank's New York branch for wires the last 15 years. Why not send the money directly to Thailand to avoid the $10 Bangkok Bank's New York branch charges? I think the same "telegraphic transfer buying rate" would be used regardless. Am I missing something?
  24. It do get very high off .1 gram edible(25% THC ). It hits me "MUCH" harder than if I had smoked a gram. Smoking rarely gets me really stoned. I assume many are like me but not sure. My friend ( not a weed user) also had less than .1 gram and he told me he was a mess. As for infused oils speeding up the digestion vs peanut butter (high fat content), I didn't know there was much of difference. Sure you're right but I think most enjoy the process which I get. The simplicity of peanut better and a pinch of weed is my preference.
  25. I don't smoke it as of 3 months ago because my lungs couldn't handle it (vaping didn't help). Switched to potent brickweed and cook it in the oven for 30 minutes. Every night .1 gram with a spoon full of peanut butter. Get too high most nights and need to cut the dose 🙂 My question - does weed quality matter much if you plan on de-carbing it? Also, why do people infuse it in oil or whatever when you can just throw it anything with fat? My fridge is full of items that I can mix it with and in a bind, vegetable oil works. easy to control the dose also.
