Ebumbu

I vaporized every day in the US. And I moved to Thailand and quit cold turkey. Zero symptoms. But I would get buzzed, not wasted. I did not like being "too high." Just a light buzz to help me work, exercise, do chores. And I dropped it with no physical or mental side effects except missing it.

But if caught, your life is over. If it's not absolute financial desperation, why bet your life on a crap shoot? When I was young, I was offered a very well-paid job as a white-powder bike courier in San Francisco. I mean, I was broke, but never considered it for a minute. I don't regret it.

Do you mean this part? "a platform facilitating the illegal sale of narcotics through encrypted private chat rooms" Or this part? "A Swedish man wanted by INTERPOL for his involvement in a major drug trafficking network" Or this part? "Swedish authorities have labelled him a major figure in a sophisticated international trafficking network." Maybe he had no knowledge of illegal drug deals. Maybe the thought never crossed his mind but he decided to go "into hiding" anyway. May his trial be fair and impartial.

How does someone come up with the idea to sell drugs in Thailand? Have any of these people thought it through? I guess they figure, "I'm so smart I can't be caught."

He didn't mention the man-eating ladyboys. You better watch your step, son!

No, I am not. But GPT said: if you want to travel with it, keep it under 10 grams and have a prescription. You don't want to get caught on the road with 50 grams. The prescription and low amount makes you cop proof.

At any rate, I feel much less alarmed about the changes than I was last week. It may all be mostly BS, unless you are flaunting and being reckless. No arrests of buyers reported, as far as I know.

Chat GPT reporting from many online-discussion sources from last week, including discussions with shop owners and insiders. What I can tell you with my own eyes is shops are open as normal in Phuket. I could walk out with half a pound and they wouldn't care. But, the cost is through the roof. 500 baht for 1 gram of mid-tier.

In Phuket, shops are open. Nothing has changed. No prescription needed. No enforcement reported. Zero arrests of buyers reported. Buy whatever you want, including hash. Prices have gone up. Right now, this is looking like BS and a way to get more manilla envelopes. There have been reports that enforcement will not change unless someone is making trouble, a store is not paying graft, or a buyer is storing dealer levels (100+ grams).

They did an end-run around parliament and it's already published in the Royal Gazette. Cannabis is again considered a class 2 narcotic. Not how a democracy operates, but I'm in no position to air my grievances.

New rules also put stricter controls on growers and farmers, ban commercial advertising and prohibit cannabis from being sold in vending machines or online. More than 18,000 licensed cannabis shops across the country will have to adapt or risk closing. https://edition.cnn.com/2025/06/28/travel/thailand-cannabis-laws-tourism-intl-hnk#:~:text=New rules also put stricter,to adapt or risk closing.

So buy elsewhere. like the rest of us Kindly DM me some resources. I understand that online sales are illegal now. Just trying to stay out of jail. Too old for that.

The licensed dispensaries have inflated the prices beyond reason compared to pre-prohibition.

Cannabis prices just rose 5000% since last month. I was getting 50 grams of good mids for 999 baht. Multiply that by 50 now. A ratchet to ensure the right people are getting richer.
