Sounds like very wishful thinking. Wouldn't hold my breath on that one.

Probably the weed brownies you had didn’t contain much THC. They need at least 10 mg of THC per brownie to have a noticeable effect. A lot of people making homemade edibles have no idea how much THC they’re actually putting in. With my homemade cannabis oil, I have a good handle on the potency because I’ve tested different numbers of drops several times and now have dialed it in perfectly. That’s much harder with solid foods like brownies, since each piece can end up with varying amounts of THC. With edible oil, the THC per drop stays consistent throughout the entire batch, so after trying different doses of drops a few different times, you get a clear idea of exactly how much you need and how potent it is. Also, I use a dry herb vaporizer in my apartment daily and blow the vapor out the window. There’s no smell at all and nobody in the building is bothered by it or notices anything.

Usually for things to be liver toxic, they have to be consumed constantly and in very potent doses. I don't think that really applies to THC edibles. 10mg at most on average. Nah. No worries.

Sure, but there is corruption and abuse in every industry, black markets, etc. Lots of counterfeits in the cigarette industry too. Anyway, not sure how government regulation really stops any of this. There is probably a larger flow of illegal drugs moving through Thailand now than there ever was. So much for regulation and criminalization. Seems to me illegal flow of cannabis is the least of their worries.

Not known to be heavy on the liver though. Acetaminophen and Paracetamol are much more liver toxic, and people take that every day. Also, milk thistle, one of the most amazing herb on the planet (discovered by the Greeks), does wonders for the liver, but also requires strong daily doses. I use it continuously. Everyone who drinks should be taking it.

I think the market found its own level through supply and demand rather than any kind of abuse. You also have to remember that around 90% of cannabis consumption in Thailand is local, so price is a huge factor. As more people entered the business and production increased, sellers had to cut prices to stay competitive and keep products affordable for local buyers. Over-regulating and bringing in heavy government involvement just adds fees and costs that push prices up and slow the market down, which helps no one. Sure, you could argue about the benefits of health regulations and regulation use of pesticides, but look at the reality: go to any salad bar in a high-end Bangkok supermarket, fill up a box of vegetables, and send it to a lab. There’s a good chance you’ll find dangerous levels of pesticides. There’s very little enforcement in Thai agriculture overall. Adding more cannabis regulations and saying it’s under government control doesn’t guarantee clean, pesticide-free weed, just like it doesn’t guarantee clean fruits and vegetables here either.

Fully agreed. That’s also why I like to mix the two, since I enjoy both effects. The edible oil feels much more powerful than vaping, and it gives me more of a body high. I do have to be careful though, because if I take too much oil, I can get a bit of vertigo or feel nauseous. That never happens with vaping, but I also never find vaping to be as strong as the oil. You make a good point: if his goal really is medical use, then he shouldn’t be so focused on smoking. If it’s for medical reasons, it’s usually because you want a physical effect, and in that case, edibles would be the better choice.

The issue here is that the original poster lives in a condo where he’s not even allowed to bring cannabis into the building because of building restrictions. This has been a problem for him for at least six months now. Basically, he wants to be able to smoke in his condo, not go to some remote beach. So he’s looking for legal ways to challenge or get around the building’s rules. Personally, I think it’s a waste of time. Either adapt to the rules or find somewhere else to live that fits your needs. Trying to apply legal methods doesn't seem like the right solution.

You were right before when you said it’s really just one person, or maybe a handful of conservatives, driving all of this. What they’re trying to do doesn’t make sense on any level, not economically, politically, socially, or civilly. So you start to wonder, why even push it when it's going to harm the livelihood of tens of thousands of people. Is it all just about political rivalries and personal vendettas? Or is it about serving personal interests, either of those in government or connected to the alcohol industry? If it’s the government itself, then everything could end quickly if the current administration collapses soon. But if it’s the alcohol cartels behind it, this could remain a source of conflict for a long time.

You posted a topic about this six months ago saying the juristic person wanted to ban weed possession in the building. So isn’t this just a rehash of the same discussion? The legalities of condos imposing restrictions and everything else were already covered in detail in your last thread. Are you expecting some new response now that will magically change everything?

I know, I was being sarcastic. But you've come to a pro-cannabis discussion and now you're dropping anti-cannabis tropes. Wrong place. But what's actually nasty to you about using cannabis? The consumption of THC?

I agree. I live in a condo and consume as much cannabis as I want without anyone knowing. It doesn’t break any rules or bother anyone. You’ve got to adapt to how you consume cannabis when living in a condo, and anyone who can’t figure out a solution to simple problems like this is just being an amateur. Plus, actually smoking anything is unhealthy. So a non-smoking solution would be a healthier method too.

Probably only removes 50%. Same as blowing your smoke into a pillow. But the weed burning emits smoke too. So smell can't really be avoided.

Nobody mentioned drinking. Wrong topic.
