Now that booze is more available than ever perhaps they should focus all their attention on boozers, bar fights and road deaths. But this has never had anything to do with weed itself. Its all revenge nothing more.

Yes correct. The question the game is over for who. Someone is going to have to take responsibility for this mess as all the licenses are valid. (Sai Na) Saving Face is not going to save them this time. Personally I hate the term more often misused as a Get Out Of Jail Card for taking responsibility for your actions. The country as a whole the Thais are going to be the most hurt and they won,t forget it . Every time a certain somebody shows up things go to <deleted>e.

The government currently seems in a state of total limbo and am starting to think something is seriously up.

Anyone notice how quiet things have been over the last week ? The anti-weed nutcase Dr. Doom has suddenly gone quiet with any new announcements. (Not legal rules or laws.)

Has been this bad for years now news coverage is finally showing many obnoxious foreign tourists and expats. Was barely here three days in 2001 first time on Samui and was so disgusted how many foreigners treated the Thais badly, that I decided to teach myself enough Thai to avoid the far to common freak shows. I prefer peace and quiet in Nakhon Nowhere.

Mendicino by the sea miss that place would often hitch-hike up and down the coast from Washington and spend a few nights there camping out. Uncommon Good Cafe where all the hippies would hang out.

I have a friend in the states that has been a pot flusher for years even when it was legal. He buys some smokes it could be days hours or minutes and he has the urge to flush before he changes his mind. Of course by the next day regrets it and buys some more. Told him numerous times to give it to a friend and he makes a run for the toilet just can,t control the urge. Likely has flushed pounds over the years ! Next time take a deep breath before you flush.

And then I would ask the police officer to please show me the regulations as I have often done in the states. 99.9% of the time I was correct and they walked away pissed they could not touch me. The first person that gets grabbed will make national headlines I sure. Always good to have a boogie man for a good distraction.

I understand your point of view and why you purchased the card. Here is a different opinion. A quote from Ben the lawyer in Bangkok. When cannabis was legalized the doctrine of codification kicked back in to protect Thai liberties thereby requiring a LAW BE PASSED to allow for curtailment of said liberty and/or regulation thereof. Politicians approximately 18 months ago acknowledged that fact and said they were going to pass a law through Parliament. They never did and now this Public Health Ministry want us all to believe they can dictate the terms of cannabis usage through arbitrary and capricious "announcements". I expect there will be serious challenges to all of this in the Administrative courts at the very least. --BWH

Agree, more Reefer Madness. The government and the media seem desperate to create more drama and much to do about nothing to back up their (Announcements aka so called laws) . Remember when they were seizing land and boats in America if they caught you with a joint? People getting raided at home and shot dead with a tv remote in hand? Former C.I.A clown Bushes grand ideas. Now that I have taken a hit to calm down I am having ideas of running outside naked.

Does anyone remember a old American Wendy's commercial "Where's the beef?" Until then..........

Cannabis Is Not Cash and Announcements Are Not Laws?

Hua Hin is the only city near me at the moment that has foreigners. In the north far far from any big foreigner towns. Going to be a pain if a person has to make a monthly trip of hundreds of miles.

It would be so nice and handy if the government would provide a list of shops they consider legal. Maybe a nice monthly news letter on current rules up to date by the hour as they seem unable to make up their minds. Making everyone a criminal over night.

I would not worry to much about it right now. Things are changing by the day or hour at times. Everyone both foreign and Thai notices the government is famous for flip/flop creating their own problems. They create the problems not the general public.
