Nothing to be confused about. Re-criminalizing cannabis will increase the market price. This will benefit the methamphetamine and alcohol industries. Great for certain cartels. Bad and more danger for individual people living in civil society.

Those 1 million plants from 2 years ago could now be 10 million or more plants from all the clippings and cuttings. Anyway, the point was Anutin was on cooking shows in flashy print cannabis shirts and at upcountry events showing locals how to cook with it too. It seemed like a surreal rodeo. Anyway, yes, the ones trying to dismantle it now are not the same ones who legalized it two years ago. That is a big part of the issue. But still, even in the land of flip-flops and U-turns, this seems like something logistically impossible to reverse given how far it's blossomed into a large and sustainable industry. It will become both a judicial and law enforcement nightmare trying to turn the clock back. Everything will return to the black market. They really should be careful what they wish for.

Seems perfectly fine just the way it is. It got rid of much of the black market, prices came down a lot, created a very profitable industry, created a business opportunity for many young people, alcohol consumption is down, everyone is happy. I don't see any problem. Nothing needs to change.

Phrase it however you want, I was referring to foods we grew up eating a certain way in the West.

I really like the natural taste of the oil I made. But if the taste or smell bothers you then put the oil on a spoon first, then add a drop of sweet syrup to it before you put it in your mouth. A drop of natural vanilla bean extract for flavor works good too. Cinnamon or ginger could also be nice.

Yes, I had forgotten that you used to be able to use all the money up during the year and then top it up again just for renewal. Now I think many feel it's better to just leave the full amount there and not touch it because of a possible mistake on withdrawal and deposit dates. I've read of people making those mistakes and then having to fly out and start the whole visa process all over. Interest rates on fixed deposits in Thailand are slightly better, but still less than half of what you can earn at the moment on dollars.

If you want the plastic eye dropper bottles, you can also get them in 10 ML. 10 for 35 Baht: https://s.lazada.co.th/s.oc3zW

So what are all the recipients (of the one million free plants handed out by Anutin in 2002) supposed to do now? Presumably, a lot of the people now have flourishing plants in their possession. If Anutin wasn't giving them out for recreational use, then what was it intended for? Medical use when none of these people receiving the plants were examined for medical conditions? You give people free plants, tell them to grow them at home, and then accuse them of using it for recreational use? How does that work?

That's a good point. I think many also just leave the full amount there and never take any out during the year. The money is just kind of like a performance bond.

That's good too. I use the glass dropper bottles on the following link. I like these particular ones because the glass dropper inside the cap is also marked with measurements on the dropper. The 10 ML bottles for 29 Baht work great: https://s.lazada.co.th/s.ocXAk

Your welcome. A sliver of an old, nicely-worn cotton t-shirt, then folded over a couple of times under the jar works perfect. Prevents that direct heat between the metal and glass. Only problem is can make the jar a bit wobbly though and the boiling bubbles might cause the jar to tip over. So I also put a small 500 gram metal weight on top of the jar too to keep it sturdy.

Also, MCT oil, mason jars, strainers, cheap food processors, pots, cooking thermometers, and glass dropper bottles are all available inexpensively on Lazada. You can also use plastic eye dropper bottles to store your oil in. Also available on Lazada. With a glass dropper bottle you can take out a measured amount of oil each time (like 1/4 cc). But with plastic eye dropper bottles you can do it by drops. Just depends on what you prefer. The glass bottles are probably better though for long term storage.

There are many retirees in Thailand (on a retirement visa extension) who aren't married to a Thai too. Many who are married have the family visa and aren't on a retirement visa. If they increase the required amount again soon, now that it's already been 25 years since the last increase, it would make sense. Cost of living and inflation. Consider the cost of food and rent in Thailand now versus 25 years ago.

You will need to decarb the weed first. A good method on the link below where the cannabis doesn't get too dried out or burnt as it might do when using an oven to decarb. Can also use a regular boiling pot if you don't have an instant pot. Just monitor the water temperature at all times with a cooking thermometer: https://emilykylenutrition.com/decarb-in-instant-pot/ Then here is how to infuse the oil after you decarb the cannabis: https://emilykylenutrition.com/cannabis-infused-mct-oil/ Use about 40-50 grams of weed with about 200-250 ML of oil. Grind the weed lightly first with a food processor. Don't powderize it. Just break it down to very small pieces. Always monitor your water temperature while infusing and keep the water level in the pot at about half way up the side of the mason jar. More water will need to be added to the pot around every 35-45 minutes. If the water gets too hot it can ruin the flavor of the cannabis and the oil might taste burnt. My oil has a nice pine flavor since I kept the temperature well regulated. Also, put a piece of cotton fabric inside the pot underneath the jar to prevent the jar cracking from direct heat.

I too rather not elaborate on what I saw, but let's just say it didn't look like it was made with the best quality ingredients. I didn't try it myself, but my friend who was using it didn't sound very enthusiastic about it.

he must be referring to that drunken carpet muncher you were having problems with the other day.

I think you meant "has giblets".

bob, meal delivery service for now, then send her off to wife obedience school, and soon you should be right as rain.

I smelled one of those govt hospital oils once. Smelled like a mixture of coconut and brick weed. Oil was light brown in color if I recall correctly.

Heard the same. That's why I tried it. But in practice and in reality seem to be different for me.

Last time I came home and my wife didn't have supper ready I caught her sliding up and down on our stairway bannister. When I asked what she was doing she said "warming up dinner honey".

does she at least know her way around the Klingon forest?

That's the amazing thing about Thailand. The men get older, but the women always stay the same age.

Well, I'd still consider bob's lightly used wife if she's available without her Thai husband.

lightly used?
