No one is saying cannabis is "harmless", that's just you being unable to form a cogent argument.

Wow. That was a lengthy study.

Khaosod TH is reporting that the results of the drug tests on Mr. Antonio were positive for methamphetamine and he will be prosecuted for use of a Type 1 Narcotic.

Shoot, I spoke too soon. Maybe we'll wait for the results of the drugs tests? Magistrates gone crazy.

Thank you for being reasonable.

And did you throw your appliances out the window? Look, you had a choice, you chose to try cannabis, you had a bad experience and you stopped. Stop the presses.

Sure, if you say so. :rolleyes Are you saying that this Italian man was suffering from THC induced paranoia? I mean in your "expert" opinion?

Yes, but you did not throw your appliances out the window now did you? Sorry, but this sort of take just makes you look silly. The same place it is for methampmhetamine addicts, nowhere, or in prison where 80% of the 300,000+ inmates are in for meth. I'm sorry but cannabis is not physically addictive, nor has anyone died from an overdose. "Some people", really. Feel free to share.

Is this a second-hand or third-hand report? It would be awesome if you could support the claim that cannabis decriminalization has led to increased truancy, you know, with a fact or three. The cannabis that Thai youth have access to is, more often than not, crap ditchweed (leaves, stems, seeds), barely pyschocative, near zero THC which has little actual effects. The anti-cannabis crew needs to refine their arguments and claims. Chuwit with his massive, overly-complicated whiteboard doesn't cut it.

The royally-sanctioned brewers, Boon Rawd and ThaiBev, should support this bill. They can let small brewers make a craftbrew market, then come in and buy them. The local craft brew market is bit like the cannabis market, somewhat unregulated, and the police seem to be keeping hands off, yet offering consumers amazing alternatives. I had a great IPA from Thong Pradit at Hair of the Dog last week. https://www.facebook.com/thebrewingproject/

Hopefully there will be published reports supporting this update on the Italian man's drug use. Going by the initial reports this was clearly a typical response to yaba usage, rather than cannabis. THC induced paranoia seems like a stretch, if it is even a "thing"?

I can't see his lawyers having him testify. Mr. Tacopino seems totally crazy, but not THAT crazy. I'd quit before calling him as a defense witness. He'll channel Humphrey Bogart/Caine Mutiny and Jack Nichlson/A Few Good Men, and end up incriminating himself, by admitting to other frequent misdeeds.

That's the good thing about Songkhran, very easy to relieve oneself roadside. Some of the videos from Songkhran are a hoot as folks get caught in mid-stream.

These anti-BDS state laws seem totally unconstitutional by limiting potential future free speech. A U.S. Appeals court has upheld this Arkansas law, many states have similar laws, and SCOTUS has refused to hear it. ‘Frightening’: US appeals court upholds Arkansas anti-BDS law https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/6/22/frightening-us-appeals-court-upholds-arkansas-anti-bds-law Top US court refuses to review anti-BDS law.

You've got to love America. Where else can you work hard, amass wealth and own a Supreme Court judge? Of course Mr. Crow inherited his fortune/business from his father. I feel like I'm watching a late night TV commercial... "You too can own a Supreme Court judge for as little as $100,000 per month, but wait, there's more, order before noon tomorrow and we'll throw in a Federal judge in a small district who will hear your case without Standing, and rule in your favor."

I thought that he was in Scotland? You can read the text of Trump's deposition in this case here Donald Trump Deposition Unsealed: Lashes Out at Rape Accuser — ‘I Think She’s Sick, Mentally Sick’ https://lawandcrime.com/trump/donald-trump-deposition-unsealed-lashes-out-at-rape-accuser-i-think-shes-sick-mentally-sick/

First off, I guess we're allowed to link to TikTok now? When I click on the OP's posted image I get a bizarre series of videos, a few of which are objectionable. Laslty, it is disappointing to see the sorts of unfounded accusations, and links to marginal sources posted here. 4Chan is more reliable than this dumpster which is about to burst into flames. Maybe ratings are dipping and there is a need to drive more discord among members? #disappointing

Are you able to share your wisdom with us? Folks who say "trust me" are usually compensating, and deserve anything but.

Meh. People have been predicting his demise for decades. And by focusing on cannabis, and not corruption (or the dozen real issues), he is helpful in the election run-up. He used to get a massive gaggle, like 50+ "journos", for his skits. Now he's lucky to get a handful.

I think we need a sub-forum for mass shootings in the U.S. That Oklahoma shooting was pretty horrific. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/oklahoma-sex-offender-jesse-mcfadden-fatally-shot-6-people/

Yes, maybe, but the unknowing part is a stretch. The cannabis water in 7/11 is non-psycoactive, and the cannabis leaves in the soup just makes the soup taste overly bitter. Most cannabis-infused edibles, in addition to being illegal (so nothing to "grapple" with), are labeled as such and given the price, are not unknowingly purchased or consumed. Publishers can measure eyeballs, and these anti-cannabis articles. most poorly written, recur at a very rapid rate. Just us discussing this article means there will be more.

This is easily addressed. Implement no smoking rules for the hotel. Warn guests upon check in about this policy and that they get one warning. After that, the police will be summoned and they will likely be arrested. Cannabis smoking which creates an annoyance is illegal. All that said, I haven't heard a lot of complaints about this "phenomenon" nor is it ever mentioend in the hundreds of anti-cannabis v. tourism articles.

He has a decades-long personal feud with the Chidchob (Buriram/BJT) family. Nothing more, nothing less. Most people know this.

These anti-cannabis articles, targeted at foreigners, must get a lot of clicks. Why that is is curious. Maybe it's all about addressing perceived grievances by a few. It is interesting that the sex trade, which is also unregulated, and illegal, isn't something that Thai tourism's sector "grapples" with. No stories about the "wild west" of prostitution. How odd.

I'm guessing Trump's staff has created an Advent-style calendar for the ex president so he can keep track of his legal developments in an engaging fashion.
