  1. I'd search on the wider internet for options on tropical/equatorial strains. example: https://sensiseeds.com/en/blog/equatorial-cannabis-varieties/ The dual challenges of the daylight cycle and rain/humidity, usually call for Sativa strains which are generally tall, with a loose airy structure, with less dense buds. They grow good cannabis in Jamaica, Columbia, Mexico, Hawaii even Indonesia. So it is possible. You could experiement with techniques like topping/FIM and high/low-stress training (HST/LST). Obviously too late for these but maybe try on future grows? I've seen some amazing photos of local outdoor grows, so it can be done.
  2. I would not recommend metal halide or HPS lights for any home-growers here. These are hot, inefficient and neither have full spectrum. Yes, we used metal halide lights back in the 80's and 90's, because that's all we had. Most people should be using LED lights. Very efficient and these run cool. You can get one single LED light (mostly 3000 or 3500K, with some extra far red for bloom) with nearly full spectrum. Of the hundreds of local indoor grows I've seen documented, 95% use LED. I'm surprised anyone is actually recommending such a thing in this age, unless possibly providing nightime lighting for a street or parking garage? I can't see how you could grow decent cannabis here indoors without using AC, and humidity control, with or without these old generation lights?
  3. Obviously no way to tell from a photo, some aficianodos could probably tell based on smell, taste and efects? Supposed to have that notable diesel smell. And should lay you out. I'm guessing it called Glue becasue it glues you to the couch? Could easily have been grown from GG4 seeds, but... looks like a failed grow, poor trim, questionable curing along with potential bud rot and mold. All my opinion based on the one single photo. Why do you ask? Can you describe to smell, taste and effects? It might be safer to huff this...

  5. How big an operation are you planning? Draft legislation suggests up to 15 plants for home growers. Anything bigger than that requires the formation of a "Community Enterprise" or an "Agricultural Cooperative". Local sub- and district government offices shhould be able to advise you. I've seen this hotline number mentioned in quite a few articles: 1174. Perhaps your wife could do the initial research. Many complain about this process - not personal growing - and the costs/capital required. Obviously you're well behind the initial land rush.
  6. Thanks for this, is that photo something you took? The cannabis on the plastic bag is ground, correct? They have some nice product.
  7. I can't imagine THC helping at all with anxiety, but people do report such success. Seems like it might mask the symptoms rather than address the underlying issue? Have you been diagnosed with GAD? How have you treated this anxiety previously? You can do your own research the internet - I'd recommend that.
  8. How much was the fine? Who collected this fine? Were you charged with any crimes?
  9. Will Prayut return as PM? Yes. The 5-4 vote was "whipped" to cut off (and postpone) public debate. But the court will rule in his favor, like 7-2 or 8-1, based on Meechai's say so.
  10. This is not about insurance, that's just a smoke-screen. Unpaid medical bills will presumably be reimbursed from the MoT&S Slush fund to the MoPH Slush fund, and then maybe, the MoPH will increase their funding for hospitals, based on their claims. This scheme is ripe for corruption. Do not assume this is being implemeted for reasons other than graft, and corruption. Will a few baht trickle down to some politicos province? Maybe.
  11. No. But your credit card company MAY charge you 3% as the fee will processed in THB.
  12. Back in late 2013 and early 2014, Prayut was then the army chief and Yingluck Shinawatra prime minister. Then army chief Prayut kept denying, denying and denying to the press. He reassured them that there won’t be any coup. I lost count as to how many times Prayut had denied but I think 10 times, give or take, would be most reasonable. Then boom came the May 22 coup led by Prayut. https://www.khaosodenglish.com/opinion/2020/09/13/opinion-why-there-may-or-may-not-be-another-coup-soon/ Lips are movin'
  13. I think we can all agree that 300 baht is not the REAL issue, or that it presents a financial burden for tourists, save the zero dollar tours where it will eat into their margin. This isn't really about 300 baht. Or is it about unpaid medical bills. Or is it about maintaining and improving tourist attractions. It's about a 5.4 BILLION Baht (annually, based on 18 m tourists) slush fund for the MoT&T's minister and PERMANENT Secretary, where there will be zero accountability. There's a reason Phipat is pushing this, and pushing it now. An interim government, and a new one longer term will mean his cash grab will be halted. I imagine he needs to share this fund with other to insure passage. If this goes forward you can bet other ministries will jump on the bandwagon. MoE will charge a "Traveler Fuel Surcharge". MoPH will charge a "Traveler Health Fee". Note that they are NOT increasing the PSC from 700 baht to 1,000 baht. Rather they (with Krung Sri Bank) will use an app to insure payment is made prior to boarding. Extortion, Thai style, stealing in plain sight, but with a smile.

  15. Pax 3 available here now. https://www.facebook.com/lztoadofficial
  16. In their depositions for this case, Donald Trump pleaded the fifth over four-hundred times. And, evidently in hopes of gaining his father's aproval (at long last?), Eric took the fifth some five hundred times. Eric, we're often told was "running the company" during Trump's presidency. Taking the fifth in a civil case can be used as an indication of guilt. Maybe Jared can kick in some of that Saudi billions to help cover Ivanka's share of the financial penalty. In his own words... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMyh7ko9L2g Tough couple of days for Trump, legally. Gets slapped by the special master, gets slapped by the 11th Circuit, gets slapped by NYS AG.
  17. If you are comparing Fastbuds Orange Sherbert Auto (Sativa-dominant) and Barney's Farms Orange Sherbert Photo (Indica-dominant), these two are completely different strains, with completely different lineages. They share a name only. They both, under ideal growing conditions, probably display the same orange-colored pistels, hence the name. Autos, a result of Ruderalis' traits, are not higher or lower in THC, broadly speaking.
  18. As if teachers are the only group of government employees swimming in debt as a result of easily-issued loans. They're just the loudest screaming for debt relief. Why do you think there is so much vying for government jobs here?
  19. So the full extent of his efforts are to issue an edict? Classic Thai.
  20. I think you'll find that this will be a mellow event overall, unlike the usual temple/community fair fueled by amphetamines and male aggression. But assuming you live in Buriram you can simply stay home to avoid the "junkies". There was a similar but smaller event back in June in Nakhon Pathom, with music, camping, comraderie and retail business showcase. https://coconuts.co/bangkok/features/smokers-spark-up-openly-at-bangkoks-delayed-but-delightful-420-festival-photos/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFftQw0f_Z8
  21. You might think that with a massive prison population (~ 300,000), with the majority (~80%, 85% for women) incarcerated for drugs (mostly methamphetamine). And with near daily busts of multiple millions of meth tabs, that "drugs" would be an "issue". This was one of the smaller busts recently (yesterday). https://thailand.postsen.com/local/51890/More-than-250000-pills-of-methamphetamine-seized-300-grams-of-ice-worth-more-than-30-million-baht.html But no. Cannabis is the scourge. Because? BTW, with Cannabis ( and Kratom) decriminalization some 3,000 - 4,000 prisoners were released. (So 1% of the prisoners were in for cannabis violations.) If you want to challenge the BJT do so on their performance with MoPH and MoT. The activity this article describes is just theatre. The powers that be here do not want to address the real drugs issue.
  22. Yes, those dates are correct. I think tickets are 700 baht for one day, and 1,700 for three days. But that may be "early-bird" pricing.
  23. I think these units come in two distinct models: Voltage: 220-240 v / 50-60 Hz or 110-120 v / 50-60 Hz. Where do you live, or which version do you have? (Look on the bottom of the unit.) Obviously you'd need the former for it work properly here. I doubt that there is anyone, be it a Thai embassy staff or even a government official, who will be able to answer your question. The "law" here is highly subjective, and open to interpretation. Besides duty, or confiscation, you could face criminal charges as well. I wouldn't bring such a unit, but if you're staying for a long time and cannot function without it, then by all means, pack it in your bag.
  24. This appears to be off the table until the next session begining 1 Nov - Mar 23. This one.
