I totally agree, my father smokes his homegrown, and my brothers and my son on occasion. if someone can be trusted with alcohol, then they should already be trusted with weed. but Thais have shown how irresponsible they are with multiple substances so the gov is having a knee-jerk reaction and taking cannabis back off the table, even though meth and alcohol (separately, or worse, together) are the actual villains. I expect many Thais new to cannabis are putting it in the mix of their normal drug routine of meth/yaba, alcohol, tramadol/kratom with M-150 to keep the ember alive. it's no wonder the headlines read like a freakshow horror script. if anything, adding the weed to the mix would take some spin off the ball, but go figure, politics is as politics does
