I grew my own in an unused bathroom before it went legal.Problem was the LED light put out too much heat and I had to run ac to cool the room down. After it went legal it was cheaper for me to just but it retail.Anyone want a free LED/Tent set up..555

It's crazy cheap now. The whole setup would be under 5000 baht. Lights, tent, fans, nutes, timer. Biggest cost would be the genetics. I'd look for landrace master kush! So, if that's the route I must go, I'll reignite a nice hobby. If you use 150w LED, it's not going to get very hot. Just move very close to the plant. It won't burn. I checked prices on Lazada. Quite cheap for everything.

That would entail a prohibitively expensive end product. Despite the tighter regs, it would still be infinitely better than the likes of the UK, controlled as it is by impossibly dull fuddy-duddies where something as benign as weed will never be made accessible to the masses. It is 2025 f,fs; mushrooms should already be legal. MMM — magic mushrooms matter. 🙂

They are going to include traditional Thai medical practitioners." So, herbalists. There is no licensing for that, or if there is, it's a short course and a low-paid job. They will also include pharmacists, I have heard. Maybe astrologists, chiropractors, and certified (by whomever) life coaches! 

Quote

Home growers for personal use can continue without certification; however, selling any homegrown cannabis is illegal. Once the new regulations are in place, consumers without a medical certificate could face arrest, confiscation of their stash, and penalties of up to one year in prison and a 20,000 baht fine.

So I grow my own and avoid all this bull<deleted> or not? Happy to do so. Everything is quite cheap and practical now: grow tent, LED lights (avoid excess heat and energy), feminized seeds. Simple. Water once a day after checking PH. Add your nutes. Buy a fan. 

How would BIB know if I grew my own stash or bought it? If home grown is legal, then how much? Can I throw it all in a giant bucket and say I grew it and be legal? So much is unclear, and just ignored. 

This plant is legal. Does this article claim that making this plant illegal again does not require approval of the Thai parliament? Is Thailand a democracy or not? If it is, then parliament must vote on this before it can be submitted to the Royal Gazette. Is this guy trying to do an end run around Parliament? How does he get away with being a one-man lawmaker? 

I am reading now that this is just a proposal, like a bill. It must be passed by two houses of parliament before it can be passed on to the Royal Gazette and become law. So, this is still a proposal ... not a law. It's not a done deal. A lot of Thai merchants are going to be desperate and furious. They will make their voices heard. The amount of revenue to be lost is staggering. 

I just bought many ounces online while the gettin's good. The proposal has not been submitted to parliament yet. It could take weeks or months to be reviewed. But, taking no chances. This plant is absolutely medicine. So is love, sunlight, exercise, and good diet. Preventive medicine is still looked upon with derision by corporate medicine. Corporate medicine is controlled by corporate pharma. There's no profit to be made from broccoli. No patent. Shareholders not happy.

Legal cannabis was a top-10 perk of living here, as I see it. It's simply civilized. Look at Canada. They are not going crazy with "weed fiends." Quite the opposite. Ganja helps make tough times easier and it enhances good times. Cannabis has been my plant ally since childhood. Precious and sacred plant.

It's not reversed, it was always supposed to be medical use only.

All use is medical use. Our bodies and minds need relaxation and recreation for optimal health. We lead stressful lives. Anything that can help us to relax and reduce stress promotes health. It activates our parasympathetic nervous system, which is when healing happens. Recreational use is medical use. To reduce health to an absence of 10-12 diseases is ridiculous, arbitrary, and out of step with modern medicine.

The 15 eligible conditions include chronic pain, muscle spasms, joint pain, cancer, nausea, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, asthma, insomnia, anxiety, depression, and Alzheimer’s disease.

When are they going to set up this licensing bull<deleted>? When will they publish to the Royal Gazette? I assume they are closing down all dispensaries and it will take them like a year to figure out how to get a licensing scheme in place. I'm stocking up, to put it mildly. 

Chronic pain, muscle spasms, joint pain, nausea, insomnia, anxiety. If I report this, does my insurance company see this? Do I get dropped potentially by insurance? I doubt it. But god know. Are there going to be monthly limits? What are they? Can I pick my strain?

This is so backward thinking. Alcohol is fine. Bars everywhere. But this is somehow more dangerous. Oh, and I can get kratom, which is basically an opiate. I can buy that online. But cannabis is somehow worse. Oh, and they dusted off the old "cannabis addiction" mythology. We're back in the bad old days of Anslinger. Thais don't know the American history of cannabis prohibition. Same propaganda, different language. 

Anyway, where do I get the stupid license? /rant

i would imagine back ache would get you nowhere,,  Cancer and epilepsy have been mentioned, but the easiest on the list if I remember correctly would be insomnia 

My back ache triggers my insomnia. Anyway, it will be pure bull<deleted>. You can say you can't get a boner and they'll give it to you (it does help with that, actually). They are going to have "traditional Thai healers" dispensing prescriptions. So, they will read your chakras or past lives and provide the medicine. It's about control, but mostly about revenue for those who have been missing out. 

In California, before recreational use became legal, you could say anything and you'd walk out with a 1 year prescription. You pay, the doctors talks to you 5 minutes. And you leave. And lo and behold, there are cannabis shops all around the medical office.
