TBH, the way you’ve got that bagged up there looks a bit dodgy. The whole point of vacuum sealing is to get all the air out so that when you put it in the fridge it doesn’t get damp from condensation caused by temperature and humidity fluctuations when opening and closing the fridge door. Bagged loosely like that, it leaves space for moisture to build up. If you’re serious about preserving weed long term, it’s gotta be in airtight bags with all air removed. Also, there are two thicknesses of those vacuum bags: 190 micron and 220 micron. You’re using the thinner ones. In my experience, those thinner bags eventually start leaking air after a while in the fridge. Don’t know why that happens, but that’s never happened with the 220 micron ones. When the high quality weed I normally use was more expensive, I used to buy larger quantities to get a discount, then vacuum seal it, and store it in the fridge for months. Even buying over 100 grams back then, it was still about 100 Baht per gram, so I wanted to keep it fresh for as long as possible. I’d double bag it with the thicker 220 micron bags, seal each one tightly, and it would stay fresh with no air leaks or condensation. I sucked out all the air with the bagging machine and the packaging way very tight to the touch. Even after six to eight months in the fridge, it was still in great shape. What I always did was take it out of the fridge and let it sit for 24 hours before opening, just to let it come back to room temperature before exposing it again to hot air. That said, I don’t store it in the fridge anymore. Weed that used to cost a lot is now about a quarter of the price, so I don’t worry about keeping it so long term anymore. Now I prefer jars so the buds stay fluffy and don’t get compressed by the vacuum seal and I can easily open the jars and get a whiff whenever I like. Much more convenient. I buy the large 32 oz Ball Mason jars on Lazada for around 100 Baht each and put two Boost humidity control packs in each jar. You can store 50-70 grams of weed comfortably in one of those sized jars. The Boost packs also hold the humidity at 62 percent, which prevents mold without over drying the weed, and the jars are airtight, keeping the weed fresh for months. That’s what most of the cannabis shops use to store their weed for display too. Using the jars and humidity packs, it should easily stay fresh for about six months, or longer if you don’t keep opening the jars. Heat and light will degrade it over time, so I keep the jars in a cabinet. Heat’s hard to control in Thailand, but at the prices I’m paying now, if some of it dries out too much after six months, I’ll just dump it and buy more. No point in messing around with vacuum sealing only to end up with hard, compressed buds. Long term preservation just isn’t that important anymore. What I might do, though, is pick up an extra 100 to 150 grams soon, separate it into 25 gram bags, and keep that in the freezer. Not for regular use, just as a backup in case there’s ever a shortage or a price spike. If anyone wants links to the mason jars, humidity packs, or the thicker vacuum bags I use, let me know and I can post the Lazada links to the sources.

Yeah, I don’t really like dealing with it when I’m out. So most of my use is at home. But I can pretty easily carry one of my vaporizers and use it discreetly if needed. The best thing for me is just take some of my edible oil before heading out. Then I’m good for many hours and don’t need to think about it at all.

You must be joking. You’re completely lost. There was an article a few months ago from one of the Thai government agencies stating that cannabis use in Thailand jumped from around 1 million users to about 7 million after it was decriminalized. If those numbers are accurate, that means roughly 10 percent of the population is using it. Again, what are you basing any of this on? The alcohol industry in Thailand has taken a big hit since weed was decriminalized. It seems like you’re drawing all your unfounded conclusions just by walking past those high-end tourist-trap weed shops in Sukhumvit with their expensive fit-outs and no customers. That’s not where the 7 million cannabis users in Thailand are getting their weed. Most people either grow it themselves, buy it from someone in their village who’s growing it, or get it online from local vendors selling at much lower prices.

Ok, different thing. Sorry, I'm not familiar with those.

Anyone who downplays the importance of getting at least 30 grams a day of both soluble and insoluble fiber isn’t just uninformed, they’re willfully ignorant. Don’t waste your breath talking digestion or constipation with people like that. They’re not serious. They’re the same type who stagger through life spouting half-baked anecdotes, whining about how awful they feel, while refusing to make a single meaningful change.

The average adult should be consuming about 30 grams per day. Very few adults ever achieve that amount, no matter how much fruit they eat.

The "Isan Diet" isn't the problem. It's the lack of water, possible lack of exercise, lack of fiber and the possible inclusion of other things in the diet that lead to poor digestion. Also, if somebody is not drinking enough water to begin with, and if they drink coffee regularly throughout the day, then coffee can also decrease the level of water in the bowels as coffee is a diuretic known to dehydrate the body even further. Alcohol can also have the same unwanted effect.

If that’s the case, then unfortunately this whole discussion could just end up being some new knowledge for you, but with nothing actually changing for her in a positive way. It sounds quite possible that she’ll continue dealing with the same chronic problems for the foreseeable future without any improvement. One thing people often don’t grasp as they get older is that staying healthy usually requires making real lifestyle changes, especially with diet and habits and could also require adding in health some supplements too. It’s tough for a lot of people to accept. They’ve spent so much of their life doing whatever they want, carefree, that the idea of putting in extra effort feels like too much. The result is that many go through their later years unnecessarily suffering, never feeling as good or as strong as they could, or dealing with chronic ailments, simply because they refuse to make some small, health-benefiting changes that would help them.

As a follow up to my previous response, just bear in mind any of these supplements that have any kind of laxative effect (including senokot), whether they are natural forms or chemical forms like Forlax (though this does not include natural fiber supplements like psyllium), can cause the bowels to become "lazy" over time. Which is something you don't want. These things can be helpful as short-term aids, but shouldn't be used long term or in place of making dietary changes to fix the problem longer term. Lazy bowels means after a while they may not want to move on their own without the use of laxative supplements. So this should be something to watch out for.

What kind of suppositories? Steroid based to reduce inflammation from hemorrhoids? You can get the ones on the following links in just about any Thai pharmacy. The brand is Doproct. About 80 Baht a box for 10: http://www.pharmbma.com/drug-list/b/40-benzocaine-hydrocortisone-zinc-suppository https://www.yaatoyou.com/product/1132186

Not enough water in a day will certainly exasserbate the problem. That is such an easy thing fix. I easily drink 3-4 liters a day, but I am quite active. WIthout water the bowels often don't get the urge to move. So it can be critical for some people. Also, another thing she can try is senna seeds. It it made into various products for anti-constipation. I used to use one called Agilolax, which is a German-made product. Used it for years, but then found out long term use is not healthy for the kidneys. So I stopped. Also, too much of it can cause stomach spasms and discomfort. But if someone is really plugged up there is a product called Senokot, which is sold in Thailand (link below). Not expensive and comes in strips of 20 small tablets. If you take 2-3 in a day then the next day you should have the urge to go. What I don't like about it is the urge can be really strong and cause you to push a bit too hard during a BM because it causes mild stomach spasms. If she already has hemorrhoids then pushing is something she wants to avoid. But she can try just taking one tablet as an experiment and see what happens the next day. https://senokot.com/ https://medthai.com/เซนโนไซด์/

It seems like they are saying they have implemented the face scan system for foreigners now too. The email was sent in English, to foreign SCB account holders, so it is not aimed at Thai people. I don't use any of the three functions indicated in the email that it says a face scan will now be required for, so, no, I haven't gone to the branch to do it, as I have no need for it at this time. I never transfer 50K Baht out of the account in one transfer, nor do I ever transfer out more than 200K Baht total in a day. Unless you require either of these 2 main functions from the app, then there is no need to do the face scan at all it seems and one can just forget about it. So it all depends on what your needs are with the app.

That was an actual email. I got the notification in the app around 3-4 days ago and then got that email yesterday. No, I am not Thai.

Two quick suggestions. If she eats any fresh dairy products at all, try cutting them out entirely for a week and see if that helps improve the situation. People who are very sensitive to constipation, often have problems digesting fresh dairy. So, no milk (not even in coffee or other drinks), no yogurt, and no fresh cheese. Usually aged cheese eaten occasionally is not a problem though. The other thing is that if she adds 5 grams per day of raw psyllium husk to her diet, first thing in the morning, that would probably help to get things moving for her on a regular basis. It's natural and not habit forming. It's just a natural fiber supplement, but normally takes a few days of daily use for it to start having a pronounced effect on the system. You can get it on Lazada. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/psyllium-husk-1-i4347844968-s17326961117.html Also, you want to consume at least two or three glasses of water within 15 minutes of when you take any psyllium husk or powder or there is a risk that it could solidify in your intestines and worsen the situation instead of helping. A lot of people try this fiber supplement, but don't take enough water with it and then don't get the intended results. Also, does she drink at least 2 to 3 L of water daily on a regular basis?

The item below sells for about ฿170-฿200 per bottle in Thailand. you can get it at just about any Thai pharmacy. It's a 10 ML bottle and if you use it twice a day, a bottle lasts about six weeks. One of the best things I've found for dry eyes. https://systane.myalcon.com/products/systane-ultra/

If you do a Google search for "Bangkok Post Cannabis" or just a search for "Cannabis Thailand" and click on the news tab in Google, nothing new turns up. Usually if there's any breaking news, it will turn up under one of those searches. I also checked https://www.thaiexaminer.com/ and most recent article they have on the topic is March 28th.

You’re welcome. I’m not sure what you ordered from Lazada though. When you say cannabis oil, do you mean you ordered some form of cannabis CBD oil being sold on Lazada? If that’s the case, I’m sorry, but that’s not what I had in mind. I would first be cautious about its authenticity. You mentioned before that you were using real cannabis, cooking it into food, and eating it as a sleep aid and that's what I thought you more interested in doing, creating an edible form of cannabis oil. Now you’re talking about using a CBD product for osteoarthritis. Well, I hope whatever you decide to use works out for you, but I still think you’d be better off making your own edible cannabis oil from high-quality cannabis flowers. That way, you know exactly what’s going into it.

The 5th has come and gone. Meanwhile, nothing in the news anywhere so far about any new changes to the cannabis laws.

Your welcome. I get them from the link below. Good quality. They offer various sizes, but I prefer the 20ml and 30ml sized bottles. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/glass-dropper-bottles-10ml20ml30ml50ml100ml-i4490353520-s18169662376.html For making the cannabis infused oil, the link below may also be useful. https://emilykylenutrition.com/cannabis-infused-mct-oil/ You can't get the MCT oil, mason jars, strainers, coffee presses and cooking thermometers on Lazada too.

Good that you found a solution that works for you. But also a lot of effort everyday to make up your bedtime formula. Why not just make up a batch of edible cannabis oil using about an ounce of quality weed? Won't cost you much and you can make enough in half a day's time to last you a full year. Then just keep it in the fridge and put a few drops on a teaspoon every night an hour before bed and your done.

More on Health Minister, Somsak: https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/politics/3039752/minister-takes-flak-for-veto-decision

Below are excerpts from the 2 links below. --- The new rules are likely to be temporary as Thailand is still working on a full-fledged cannabis bill to regulate the wider uses, sales, exports and production of the plant. The draft bill was unveiled in September but has not been approved by the cabinet or reached parliament for deliberation. "The cannabis bill will go on its own track, but it cannot be rushed. We are looking at two more years before it is ready," Mr Somsak told reporters. "If people are still unhappy, we’ll re-criminalise it." The public and industry stakeholders have until June 5 to submit feedback on the proposed ministry regulation, which will then be submitted to the cabinet for approval. https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/3033366/surge-in-cannabis-smuggling-prompts-thailand-to-tighten-rules --- Mr Somsak said he wanted to see the regulation issued by the Ministry of Public Health within 40 days. https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/3033197/thumbs-down-for-cannabis-certificate-plan. --- https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2798237/cannabis-permit-system-in-pipeline
