  1. I am not familiar with Thai procedures but perhaps a cursory examination by the relevant medical authority is needed in order to issue a death certificate? I'm not sure this will ever be answered. Either way, under the influence or in the throes of withdrawal or fully recovered, it may not matter? The deceased remain so, and their families grief will not be ameliorated by such a determination?
  2. Short, succinct and accurate. The problem is way past bad apples, bad barrels or bad trees. The entire orchard is rotten to the core after having been corrupted for decades. And there is no will in the country to address this. Drugs move into, and through, the country with the knowledge of the authorities. To suggest that they don't, or that all drugs are siezed, borders on the ridiculous. The security apparatus here is MASSIVE. They could shut down most of the volume meth drug trade if they wanted to.
  3. There is some risk, no doubt, but that's off-set by the availability of goods. The address thing is fairly common, especially with low-priced, high-volume items. I've even seen full addresses posted. All of my experiences result in one single direct message re: shipping details/tracking number. On the bank front, it depends. The recipient doesn't receive your bank account number - just your name and amount. AFAIK. But sometimes they ask for a confirmation slip, which may show all but 4 digits of your account. I usually black that out before sending it, only takes a minute.
  4. This should go well.
  5. Mission accomplished.
  6. He was said to be a drug dealer too. So yeah, a bit surprised. But not too much. The RTP facilitate the drugs trade, so you're right. We shouldn't be surprised. They should just re-org into the Thai FDA. And be called Pharmacists. Whataboutism, a lazy defense.
  7. D'oh. The 150 photograpers might be hint. It was 5% sincerity and caring and 95% photo-op. That's the way the real world works, get used to it. The PM bears full and direct repsonsiblity for this incident. The RTP report directly to the PM, a HUGE mistake made in 2002. Previously it was the MoI. He needs to take responsibility. He won't. He needs to make changes ASAP, and not just shuffling the pawns around the board. And having him in the dual role as Minister of Defense should NOT be allowed. Will a civilian PM - assuming there ever is one, be allowed to be MoD too? Uhm, no.
  8. Hopefully the odds of getting an engine are a bit higher.
  9. CPALL legal department. There were, admittedly spurious, reports early on about reactions to sub-0.2% food products. The under-20/pregnant restriction was quickly issued. Hence the warnings. I don't think we'll ever see cannabis flower in 7/11's. CPALL, assuming they want to get into the business, will just launch a new brand for that market.
  10. Edited the headline... Thailand has the highest number of privately owned guns in ASEAN that we know about
  11. Sorry, I don't believe a thing the police "report" on this incident. Police cannot investigate themselves. Police reform has never, ever come from within. And I'm not sure if this "report" is a good thing or a bad thing? They seem to want to move this from drug-related to mental-illness related.
  12. The police should NOT be allowed to investigate this incident. The conflict of interest is just overwhelming. The new national police chief should consider resigning as he has failed at his job. And the government overseer of the police should also resign in shame. That overseer is the PM. The King should consider appointing a small panel, five at most, of the most uncorrupted people available (assuming that many can be located in Thailand), to investigate this matter and report to the public within 14 days with actionable items: recommended indictments, sackings, re-organization. Longer term they might stay on as an independent police commission. The police have lost the respect and confidence of the people.
  13. Gruesome crime-scene and accident photos are not unusual here. They are normally masked in the name-brand publications. I can't make a judgement on these photos, nor would I want to even see them. That said, the Police have better things to do than warn off citizen's exercising their rights. If they're breaking a law, and it's pretty easy to whip one up, Internet Crime for example, then start arresting them.
  14. Interesting to watch, for example, Doctor's groups rail on about the horrors of cannabis, while this country rots away from the methamphetamine plague.
  15. The Police have a lot of questions to answer. But they won't of course. Will be portrayed as just another "bad apple" with "mental illness", who was allowed to hang around for three years.
  16. Saw 6,500 mentioned in one article. He can only affect Federal prisoners, hence he made a request to governors. Most possession cases are at the state level. As with a lot of law "enforcement" in the U.S. there is a racial bias component, African Americans are arrested for violating marijuana possession laws at nearly four times the rates of whites, yet both ethnicities consume marijuana at roughly the same rates. This is polling quite high...68% Recreational/90% Medical. So this puts republican candidates in the Senate, House on the defensive leading up to the mid-terms. In the House they pretty much voted 100% (all but two or three I think) against this HR. Now their opponents may force them to take a stand.
  17. Asking the tough questions can certainly be put off, but not for too long. Unfortunately, police corruption and the methamphetamine scourge are part of the Thai fabric, and unthreading them from the overall garment is impossible.
  18. Interesting turn given Biden was the ONLY Democratic pesidential candidate opposed to legalization. But we still need legislation, not proclamation, so H.R. 3617 (the M.O.R.E Act, passed the House 4/1/22) needs to progress. But that may not happen. So we get this proclamation. https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/3617
  19. Yes, of course, that's why I said... But a photo is more objective. I appreciate the time you took to compile your review, and all of the additional detail. And thanks for adding the photos.
  20. Valid opinion, but not really a reason for NOT sharing photos. Much can be gleaned from photos. Most of the other attributes you highlight are subjective.
  21. Thanks. IMO photos are the most important detail...jars, labels, Boveda packs, THC content, not so much. Not sure what this means? I don't think posting photos is somehow against the rules here?
  22. Thanks for the review. And the photo of the jar tops/labels. Can you post photos of the contents of the jars?
  23. What strain is this? I don't see anything that looks quite like that on their website. That black color seems strange.
  24. It's usually money or love here, time to add Meth to that list. Very, very sad news.
  25. Saw references to these on FB yesterday, imported, not cheap. 100 Euros for 8 tests. https://www.alpha-cat.org/product/cannabinoid-test-kit-thc-potency-mini/
