Yea the current policy being: "Importantly, it must be noted that smoking of cannabis in public is forbidden. The penalty for this is a potential three-month jail sentence and 25,000 Baht fine. The new cannabis policies permit production and consumption solely for medical or health-related reasons; not recreational purposes." I personally think that the likelihood of the new actual laws which should have obviously been implemented before this whole saga, will head for an explicit ban on recreational use, especially in light that this is currently in draft and todays announcement from the doctors: "Hundreds of doctors and alumni of the Faculty of Medicine at Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, have issued a statement demanding an immediate end to the recreational use of cannabis" That said, I'll go along with you and reserve the right to change my mind as frequently as necessary.

No there were some press reports but no science to back it up: Global cooling was a conjecture, especially during the 1970s, of imminent cooling of the Earth culminating in a period of extensive glaciation, due to the cooling effects of aerosols or orbital forcing. Some press reports in the 1970s speculated about continued cooling; these did not accurately reflect the scientific literature of the time

Assault on Kiev: Russian helicopters swoop above Ukraine's capital
Bkk Brian replied to Chris.B's topic in The War in Ukraine
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky says his forces are advancing "step by step" into the occupied southern region of Kherson. Earlier this month, Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minster Iryna Vereshchuk urged Kherson residents to evacuate the city as soon as possible to avoid becoming trapped in the city during a counteroffensive in southern Ukraine. Meanwhile, a senior defence adviser to Mr Zelensky claimed that around 1,000 Russian troops in the region have been encircled by Ukrainian forces. Oleksiy Arestovych said the Russians had been caught in a "tactical encirclement" near the village of Vysokopillya in Kherson oblast. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-62283196 -

You claim the article contains several mistakes, can you point me to a link that substantiates that claim that the deaths were due to the causes you mentioned? The article says: "Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission has reported that more than 4,000 Indigenous children died either from neglect or abuse in residential schools" Full report here: https://nctr.ca/records/reports/

Sergei Lavrov, pathological liar. From the BBC article link above: Sergei Lavrov is trying to convince African countries that they are better off siding with Russia than the West - using phrases like "we'll help you complete the process of decolonisation" The reality of what Russia is really doing in Africa, murdering and raping, the same playbook as in Ukraine: Mercenaries from the Russia-linked Wagner group have been accused of raping moms in a maternity ward in the Central African Republic: report Mercenaries with the Wagner group have been accused of raping mothers who had just given birth at a maternity ward in the Central African Republic (CAR), the Daily Beast reported. Teenagers Say They Were Kidnapped and Raped by Putin’s Private Army It was Jan. 16, the day of an infamous massacre—first reported by The Daily Beast—when Putin’s private army slaughtered more than 70 people in eastern CAR CAR: Russian Wagner Group harassing and intimidating civilians – UN experts Earlier this month, a Special Commission of Inquiry set up by the CAR government to shed light on violence in the country determined that human rights and international humanitarian law violations have been committed, including by "Russian instructors." The experts also received reports that Wagner Group officers have committed rape and sexual violence against women, men, and young girls in the many parts of the country. -
I'm not a cannabis user but from what I read, the most popular method to take it is smoking, so this will be a a setback for the recreational users that rolled spliffs with tobacco. Of course its also possible to smoke it without tobacco, a traditional joint does not need to have tobacco inside, bongs etc. However below is the takeaway I'm getting from this law, recreational use remains illegal so the users are back to how they were previously. I totally agree by the way with medical use under doctors prescriptions/guidance.

You're right there are no words left to describe the despicable acts being carried out by Putin and his forces. There is one thing to say about him though, he's consistent, I'll give him that, any deal or international agreement signed he soon flies his middle finger into the air. -
Says a lot when you try to compare two opposing teams of supporters in an English football match with a screaming mob of extremist rioters armed and out for Pence's head for a lynching. At least their leader Enrique Tarrio has been charged with seditious conspiracy and New Zealand have been sensible to classify them as a terror group.

Captured nuclear plant doubles as launch pad for relentless Russian rocket attacks Town of Nikopol is being targeted by missiles fired from the site of the giant Zaporizhia atomic power facility “Imagine how cynical and immoral the Russians are,” said Poperechnyuk, a businessman and activist who is a member of Ukraine’s territorial defence forces. “They’re putting their artillery just behind the reactors so Ukrainian armed forces cannot respond.” Over two nights this week, the Russians fired 100 rockets at Nikopol and at one point air raid warnings sounded for 19 hours straight. https://www.ft.com/content/857ee467-c920-4ba0-b915-684e0afbf594
