It does work, especially if you want to get laid. The last chapter, stolen by him from other books, tells how to keep a woman you found. The gist of it is using many women, taking advantage of them like a player does. His students brag about body counts, and some women actually like him, too dense to see what he really is. It's like those who are Trump worshipers, not understanding just what he really is and what many of his motives are, along with him doing some good things because all presidents have to live up to some promises, especially to get re-elected. He's dark but a hero to some.

I get where you’re coming from, but I don’t really watch his content for the dating or “get laid” stuff. What I’ve found helpful is his material on self-growth, mindset, and bouncing back after setbacks — especially breakups. I’m more into the personal development side of things than the player mentality.

So in your opinion... it is ok to resort to violence when you do not like the words being spoken? '

In the real world, words have consequences. You have to be accountable for what comes out of your mouth. Personally, I wouldn't resort to violence—but a lot of people would.

There are just certain things you don’t say to the wrong person. People have literally lost their lives over saying things like “suck my d*.”**

So it's not about whether it's okay or not. It's about understanding reality and knowing that not everyone plays by the same rules.

How about… just treat people with respect? It blows my mind how some people have zero manners in public.

So the guy threatening the owner acts like he's about that life, but when his sh*t gets pushed back, he runs to the police and snitches? Lol.

Yeah, I don’t think he should go back to Pattaya, to be honest. That’s one of the easiest ways to go missing. His arrogance and lack of self-awareness put him in this position, not the filming.

Do you drink alcohol?
Have you ever been drunk?

Of course you do and of course you have.

Getting stoned on a bit of weed is very similar to being slightly drunk, without the desire to start fights or be an annoying old fart.

And them hangovers!

In the old days when we got thai sticks in the west, the myth abounded that they were laced in heroin. Always struck me as stupid that importers would risk bringing in harder drugs with cannabis or that financially this was a viable practice in Thailand. It's just a nonsense. And why Fentanyl? Wouldn't it be more profitable selling it alone on the blackmarket? Also a weed user is unlikely to get into opiates.

Exactly.

A good drug dealer will not kill his customers. That's nonsense.

They're making money off the customers. Why would they try to get them killed?

They kill their customer, they kill their income.

Probably not, but the Canadian government has more than 2 braincells to rub together, also the comparison between Thailand and Canada as tourist destinations is like chalk and cheese, il bet there isnt a cannabis shop every 50m in Vancouver or Montreal, stinking the streets out and atttacting criminal smuggling gangs is there?

We aint talking about tourist destination -- dont deviate from what we're talking about.

Has Canada done a good job when it comes to weed or no?

I don't know about Vancouver as I've never been there. But I'm born, bred, raised from Montreal. I know a lot from there.

Stick to the topic.

Good, legalising weed was the biggest mistake Thailand has made in the last 10 years, the only reason it was legalised in the first place was because the fat cats in charge at the time had their greasy fingers in the cannabis pie, most Thais were dead against it, but they didnt have a choice, as were all the countries surrounding Thailand ( notice how not one followed Thailands progressive policy of legalisation 🤣 ) the massive downside of the softening of the rules did nothing but attract criminal gangs from all over the world, who took advantage of Thailands pathetic law enforcement to ship huge amounts out of the country to wherever it was needed, Thailand became the new Amsterdam, and anyone who needs a lesson from history should look at what happened there, a criminal, scum infested cesspit of a place , its no suprise that the explosion of cocaine in Thailand directly coincides with the legalisation of cannabis, one drug attracts the other

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

I'd like to opine on the concerns with psychosis from weed. IMO this is only possible because they can make it so much more potent than the stuff from 20 years ago. That and I believe many people are using other drugs and denying it when they freak out. And perhaps some weed is laced with other drugs.

So actually having it open and monitored by govt seems a good idea to prevent fentanyl laced weed out there. I don't know. I use gummies on occasion and smoke rarely and enjoy the buzz and sleep. But then when I was young I also dabbled in real hallucinogenics like LSD and never had a "bad trip". Only time I ever experienced psychosis was when I was suffering in a hospital for 3 months with my belly cut open (sternum to belly button) a tube stuck in me and pain drugs every day plus lack of sleep and food. That was no fun

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, 🍿

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.

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.

peoples aversion to cannabis is due to the refer madness propaganda of 100 years ago, Its actually a testament to the power of propaganda, It is no different than advertising in its ability to affect peoples thinking. Unlike advertising however there is no obligation to stick to the truth. Its only to be expected that a few simpletons will fall for the hype , and even start spreading it themselves. One only has to look at the covid "pandemic" to see examples, eg more small minded idiots screaming at others to mask up etc

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.

Another hippy relying on the 1970s Woodstock era myth of marijuana is harmless. It's not!!!..it's a dangerous mind altering drug that causes abnormal behaviour in it's users...including physcotic episodes which can lead to violence. No wonder there is so many violent outbursts each day in Phuket and Pattaya

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?

About time they got rid of that crap, sick of walkng round the streets stinking of cannabis everyday, hopefully the 24 hour shop opposite my condo will close, sick of the smell and the deadbeats who hang around outside the shop all day and night, good riddance, should never have legalised it in the first place

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?

Jury selection would have been critical. He has excellent lawyers. The best American justice that money can buy.

I suspect he'll walk or at the most get a slap on the wrist for engaging in prostitution and/or assault.

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.

June 26

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.
