That's because their own government might not make it to November.

What about Canada? what happened there? Is it a criminal, scum infested cesspit of a place?

Thanks for sharing your experience, really thoughtful post. I agree with you on a few things: today's weed is definitely stronger than it was 20+ years ago, and potency can absolutely play a role in triggering issues for some people, especially those who may already be predisposed to things like anxiety or psychosis (I am hence why it's important to pick the right strain). That said, I think it's important to be careful with the idea of weed being “laced”, especially with something like fentanyl. While it's often repeated in the media or by law enforcement, there’s actually very little to no evidence of dealers intentionally lacing weed with fentanyl. It doesn’t make financial or pharmacological sense, and would be a terrible business move. If anything, the rare cases that do come up are likely cross-contamination or misreported toxicology results.

I really hope that amidst all this political chaos, they still manage to guarantee that every single weed shop in Thailand has at least one licensed doctor or dentist on site to protect Thailand from these criminals! Gotta love the timing, government in freefall, but let’s make sure we’re cracking down on people buying a plant without a note from their local orthodontist. I can see the train coming full speed from miles away and I’ve got my popcorn ready, 🍿

"Revolutionise" ... more like "Confusionalise".

He did a tremendous job at coming back making the United States of America great again. They said he couldn’t done it, but he did it. Now he's signing amazing deals all over the world, isn't that a beautiful thing? Don't believe the fake news, it's time to make this country great again with the help of amazing wonderful people all around the nation. And don't forget he has such power over Canada like you wouldn't believe it. Big beautiful bills is what he's about. In less than 2 years his administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of the USA. *Donald Trump Jr voice*

Verdict should come right before July 4th next week. I'm guessing Wednesday or Thursday. Diddy's done.

Pretty sure the mom & pop shops across the country will keep selling all day long, so yeah — nothing to see here. Thailand’s obsession with trying to control absolutely everything is something I’ve rarely seen anywhere else. I think it has a lot to do with the old guard still clinging to power in the government. Honestly, I really don’t think we’d be seeing stuff like this if someone like Pita were Prime Minister. He seems far more in touch with current global realities, unlike the people in charge right now who, frankly, often seem completely disconnected from how the world actually works.

Totally agree. Some people, you just can’t have a real conversation with, they’re not interested in facts or nuance. They just want to shout the loudest and push whatever fear-based narrative they’ve absorbed. Lately, I keep seeing these bizarre, exaggerated stories floating around, like “someone mutilated their feet on weed” or “they smoked and started stabbing people.” It’s laughable. Most of the time, the people spreading this stuff have never even touched cannabis, let alone taken the time to understand it. It’s wild how deep propaganda can run, you plant a seed of fear, water it with a few headlines, and next thing you know, people are convinced cannabis is turning cities into warzones. Meanwhile, they’ll down five whiskeys a night without blinking. Honestly, the most dangerous thing about weed for some people is that it might make them question what else they’ve been lied to about.

Hey, I get that there’s a lot of myths about weed out there, but let’s talk facts. Cannabis is not some harmless party relic from the ‘70s — it’s a medicine and a recreational substance used responsibly worldwide. Yes, cannabis is psychoactive, but the vast majority of users do NOT experience psychotic episodes. Scientific studies show that psychosis linked to cannabis is extremely rare and usually associated with pre-existing conditions or heavy, prolonged use of very high THC products. Violence is NOT a typical effect of cannabis. In fact, many studies find cannabis tends to reduce aggression and anxiety in most users. You are 100% wrong on this one. Phuket and Pattaya have their own complex social issues, but blaming cannabis for violent outbursts is misleading and ignores bigger factors like alcohol abuse, economic stresses, and other social problems. Countries that have legalized cannabis, like Canada and parts of the US, track these stats closely — no spike in violence has been linked to cannabis legalization. So let me get this straight: you're blaming cannabis for violence… But alcohol, the legal, socially accepted drug that’s directly linked to: ✅ Drunk driving deaths ✅ Domestic violence ✅ Bar fights and street brawls ✅ Liver disease and long-term health damage ✅ Blackouts and reckless behavior …gets a free pass? Meanwhile, cannabis users are mostly at home eating snacks, watching Netflix, and forgetting where they left their phone, not starting fights in Bangla Road at 2 a.m. The data doesn’t lie: Alcohol is involved in 40%+ of violent crimes globally Cannabis? Almost none. In fact, it’s often used to treat anxiety and aggression. You’re worried about someone giggling at a tree or ordering too many snacks?

I hate how there's so many bars, it's so in your face all the time! Ban alcohol! /s People don't like it cause stigma, you can't apply this logic to anything else hamburgers, massages, etc. Stop trying to pretend it's anything else. So what if there are lots of cannabis stores? Did the cannabis store touch you?

I don't. I see a bunch of drunk morons everyday though at the local bars yelling and smoking cigarettes.

The SDNY (Southern District of New York) is straight-up the toughest federal corruptions office in the U.S. Their conviction rate is around 98%. If they bring charges, they’re confident they can win. The lead prosecutor on this case, Christy Slavik, is one of the very best in the country when it comes to closing arguments. She’s known for her powerful courtroom presence and precision in sealing convictions. In other words, when she steps up for closings, it's usually game over. She’s the one delivering the final statement later today. So no, this isn’t a slap-on-the-wrist scenario against a mega-celebrity. They’ve brought the top-tier team and have cut charges to focus on what they’re certain they can prove. This is as serious and as strategic as federal prosecutions get. While I don't think Diddy will do life, I do think he's looking at significant time. 10-20 years would be my guess.

Closing arguments start in around 3 hours or so. Most important day of the trial. Jurors might have a verdict tommorow though I think they gonna need more than a day.

Honestly, this will just push the market underground again. It’s almost guaranteed that black market activity will spike — and I wouldn’t be surprised at all if some police officers start charging “protection fees” to turn a blind eye. That kind of thing already happens with plenty of other establishments here. I’ve heard from the wife that two Thai shop owners near our house are already preparing to move on through other channels if it comes to that. To be frank, it really doesn’t seem like they know what they’re doing. Implementing something this drastic just three years after legalizing cannabis feels incredibly short-sighted and rushed. On top of that, we don’t even know if this government will still be in charge by the time November rolls around. They’re facing major issues right now, and a lot could change between now and then. But let’s be real — I don’t see how they plan to enforce this. Zero chance. The infrastructure isn’t there, the demand isn’t going away, and the black market knows how to adapt way faster than the government can regulate.

Find something more productive to do in your free time. You sound angry and miserable.

He's richer than that. Even Musk laughed at an interviewer asking him the question and said he's nowhere close to Putin in term of finance.

If we’re talking about Thailand’s image and “high-spending” foreigners, are we really going to pretend that the guys who sit at the bar every morning with a beer in hand are somehow more respectable or desirable than someone walking into a cannabis shop? If anything, the daily bar crowd does far more to damage the “classy tourist” vibe than a weed shop ever has. But because alcohol is socially accepted, no one bats an eye. At the end of the day, it’s not about weed vs. tourism, it’s about how things are managed. You can have regulations without turning everything back into a black market overnight. That’s what common sense should actually look like. But common sense is a rare thing here.

My popcorn’s ready. Good luck enforcing that. The only thing this move is going to do is push everything online. Just today, I’ve already received messages from three shops on LINE offering delivery—business as usual. I’m telling you, and anyone with common sense can see it from a mile away: this is going to get messy. You can’t just flip a switch and expect the entire industry to do a 180 overnight. This isn’t a crackdown—it’s a chaos invitation.

I highly suggest you don't go to the gas station around midnight then. I've had at least 3-4 different occassions where people tried to have sex with me in a cabin and in one of them the guy actually recorded me while I was peeing and I had to grab his phone from him and delete the video and told him to GTFO asap. Who knows, maybe 700 years stadium has became a place to hookup? I have no idea lol. But tbh I'm not surprised. It also happen often at the toilets of plenty of gas stations. Very weird indeed.
