Wow! This is amazing news. Freedom instead of repression. Talk about kicking the Prayuth regime in groin.

Funny how Yingluck took the heat for the rice support program, and any/all graft, but very little scrutiny has been applied to the Prayuth's eight-years of agricultural subsidy programs.

"Honest, it was here a minute ago." Poof.

Today, based on a leak. And the party leader is under extra scrutiny. And twenty (20) for PTP. Maybe. Could explain the Thaksin deal? How ironic.

Yes, that's the way it works today. DTAM, part of the MoPH, oversees cannabis treatments. I can't see DTAM giving up that authority?

This "sounds" like good news, but it isn't. They'll just cut, cut, cut for a year. This will ham-string any government as this axe will be hovering above their heads. Then MPs will be picked off, and entire parties dissolved. Party leaders will go to prison, or be forced to leave the country. < Assuming Pita can coax ~ 45 Senators to vote for him. I don't think any Senators, other than the 18 who've said to be backing him, will vote for him unless he SWEARS not to pursue "reforms" of the Institution. > It will be very, very ugly.

You mean alcohol addiction? Gambling Addiction? Methamphetamine addiction? For Methamphetamine, if caught one one pill there is a diversion program. If two or more the support system is called "prison".

Puhleez. It's the '47 or he's not getting out of bed.

Edibles are ILLEGAL. On-line sales and advertising are ILLEGAL. Physical shops MUST be licensed. The issuing authority, DTAM I think, needs to bolster their requirements for issuing licenses. These are ENFORCEMENT issues. Why was your 9 YO daughter paying the mailman 900 baht for a COD order? That sounds irresponsible. The Cannabis Control Act passed a first reading in Parliament last year (June 2022) 373 MPs voted in support of the bill, with 7 against. 23 MPs abstained. https://www.thaipbsworld.com/thailands-cannabis-and-hemp-bill-sails-through-1st-reading-in-lower-house/ It got derailed on a second reading in November. Cannabis normalization really isn't a top 10 or even top 20 issue. Much, much bigger issues facing Thailand and a new government. Even the anti-Cannabis rhetoric has died down to a whimper.

Try this meth. I'm surprised these idiots didn't lose a kidney or two.

Wonderland is part of OG Canna Company which is part of Panthera Group, and they have five-ish big brand name shops incl. Kush House. https://ogcannacompany.com/ OG Canna CEO Ben Baskins has talked up the possible pivot to medical in several interviews. I do not believe that the medical sales channel will be as loosely controlled as it is in the U.S. DTAM/MoPH would likely control medical cannabis, and right now it is only approved as treatment for ~ six diagnoses. And foreigners would probably be excluded unless they are on Thai social services. Arthritis and glaucoma are not approved for cannabis treatment.

Good read... Thailand’s moment of truth: Pita’s struggle for new regime continues Move Forward pressured to scrap proposed royal reforms as it seeks to govern https://www.ft.com/content/fff53142-f594-4fe2-bc75-cd518fc295d0 IMO, the Powers that Be will NEVER allow Pita to form a government/assume the PM role UNLESS he swears an oath to NOT pursue any reforms, and promises to stick to Prayuth's 20 year plan. Prayuth is flexing today. And if the dirt/law attacks don't work he will be proclaiming that "There will not be a coup" soon.

I know it's hard to keep up with ALL the police corruption cases, but I do not believe this extortion case is related to the case in the OP.

Yuck. Not a good look. FM Don should stand down. "Re-engaging" is not something a government with a very limited shelf-life (six-ish weeks) should be doing. What really precipitated the urgent nature of this meeting? Why claim this is transparent, while hiding the previous two meetings? My guess: Myanmar is worried about the transition from the Prayuth regime to a more democratic government, and wants some "guarantees" from the Myanmar-junta friendly Thai "government".

Eight individuals "netted" in a province-wide effort over two weeks. Impressive. Get the vinyl poster prepared.

Not sure but I think this is just the latest keystone cop (RTP) saga of the KMITL/SCB embezzlement case (1.5 billion baht) circa 2016? Something valuable goes missing, RTP officers jump on the case, see all that dosh, shake down the criminals for a cut. This one seems more convoluted than the Saudi Gem fiasco, and that's saying something. Big Joke is earning his "unusual wealth" cleaning up all these corruption cases.

Not sure which case you're referring to, the "upcountry" part is not really definitive? If you're referring to Chop Doc, Wisut Boonkasemsanti, then he briefly avoided suspicion in his wife's death, but was charged, convicted and served ~ ten years, after getting two Royal pardons. https://www.nationthailand.com/in-focus/30240179

Now he tells us. Seems like he's trying to saniitze his reputation as trump's lawyer.

Someone on James Comer's staff should advise him to stop talking. He sounds like an idiot, with idiotic claims and no proof to back up his claims. He apears unprepared for even the most basic questions. From the Oversight Committee tweet pasted above: The record didn't originate with Rudy Giuliani. It's based on a trusted informant's conversations with the foreign national who claimed to have bribed then-VP Biden. So is this second-hand or third-hand "information"? Did the "trusted informant" file the 1023? Or did he speak directly to the FBI agent who completed that form? Is this the "trusted informant" who appears to have gone missing? At this point the unredacted 1023 should be released and the trusted informant and foreign national doing the alleged bribing should be identified.

I have full confidence in thainexusman. He/they have been in business for at least 10 years, with a bevy of satisfied customers and no issues whatsoever. I almost pulled the trigger on a 7A. Will continue to buy from them going forward. Yes, this is why I recommend OEM products for folks like you.

This is for the general election in 17 months? Swing voters, who will make the difference in MI (and a few other states) won't decide who they're voting for until after Halloween (in 2024). Who paid for this poll? And why?

As this is Thailand, Mr. Clean is a relative concept.

Or, he's like some of us older folks who remember Renee Richards, and maybe it's just not that big a deal? I mean the World didn't end in 1977 now did it? Repubs feel like they "lost" on civil rights, and gay rights/marriage, so their last stand is trans people, I guess. No one left after that to attack, marginalize and disenfranchise. OK, Immigrants, for sure.
