Was smoking Pot worth it? Worth prison and losing your family?

There are lots of people that think the law does not apply to them, until they get caught years later.

I would think a wife and kids would be enough deterrent to follow the law but for you I guess not

Moralising on a thread like this is boring, not to mention stating the obvious.

He did the crime, and he did his time.

..and there it is everyone...a contribution to the decay, towards the lowest common denominator.

Throw out the accusation and label of being boring, to try to win an argument. An argument by the way, that is not just dumbing down, but trying to legitimise and support criminals.

Is TV now a place to swap advice for how to survive in jail, is it a criminal support network now?

Is there no value in discussing morals, social-cultural trends of change, or are we dumbing down?

dbrenn: don't bother replying if all you do is hurl insults - you'll just add weight to my points. But please do reply if you have something worth saying that gets the grey matter tingling with constructive and challenging thought.

I'm sure you're quite welcome to start as many thread as you like discussing morals, social-cultural trends of change, or whatever other topics you find interesting or feel important.

...I am sure I am, thanks. But that was not my point.

Fact is, TVF is a place to swap advice about many things Thai-related, whether or not they meet our moral standards, and it seems that many of us are interested in a situation where someone is brave enough to relate their situation of spending what seems a ludicrous amount of time in jail for possessing a demonized plant.

...so there are no boundaries for you? Would you condone convicted criminals giving advise to other criminals on how to carry out their crimes without being caught? You have no limits in this?

..."demonized plant" - you make the plant sound like a victim.

Do you seriously think that using weed is criminal behavior? If so, perhaps that's more a matter of indoctrination rather than logical justice.

...I don't make the law. You should take this up with the Thai judicial system.

Surely you have the right to take as many holidays wherever you like. Argue the case, stand up for your rights.
