Heartbroken Irish mum honours ‘special son’ lost on Koh Tao
shocky2012 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
First, let me clarify a few things, since you seem genuinely misinformed about how situations like this work. As someone experienced in digital marketing and crowdfunding platforms like GoFundMe, I can assure you that the cost of repatriating a body isn’t the only expense involved. For a starter, they havent received 37 000 Euro. Gofundme takes 2.9% + $0.30 per donation. When a tragedy like this happens, there are often substantial additional costs such as: Funeral arrangements Legal fees or administrative costs related to the death. Travel expenses for family members to handle affairs, both abroad and locally. Potential debt or financial hardship caused by the sudden loss of a loved one. GoFundMe campaigns are designed to offer support beyond just the immediate costs. The platform doesn’t automatically cut off donations once a goal is reached. People choose to continue donating out of compassion, and it’s up to the family how they use the funds. This isn’t about ‘asking for more money’, it’s about people showing kindness during a devastating time. Your fixation on the numbers while ignoring the context shows a lack of understanding and empathy. Instead of questioning the generosity of others, maybe take a moment to reflect on why this bothers you so much. If you don’t want to donate, that’s fine, but shaming a grieving family is neither productive nor kind. -

The irony of telling me to write something worthwhile after you wrote that festering pile of word vomit. It’s fascinating how you’ve twisted an act of compassion and generosity into something to criticize. The family has no control over how much people choose to donate, nor should they be expected to stop others from showing their support just because a goal was surpassed. If anything, it’s a testament to how much this young man was loved and respected. Perhaps instead of projecting jealousy or envy, you could focus your energy on something constructive (like painting a wall) or better yet, extend some empathy to a grieving family (not sure youre capable of that though based on your posts here). -

You really spent all that energy writing that nonsense? Try harder. Go outside paint a house or something. -

It seems you're having trouble understanding a simple sentence, so let me clarify for you: They have received 30,000 euros in donations from various supporters. What they choose to do with those funds is neither your concern nor mine. The cost of the funeral is entirely irrelevant to this discussion. -
I just pasted my thoughts regarding cannabis in general on ChatGPT since English isnt my first language but youll get a good idea of how to approach cannabis next time. Cannabis often gets unfairly lumped into a single category as "just a drug," but the reality is far more nuanced. There are different strains of cannabis—Sativa, Indica, and Hybrids—and each can have profoundly different effects on the body and mind. Understanding these differences is key to finding what works best for you, especially if you're using cannabis for therapeutic purposes or just to relax. Start Slow and Test Your Strain If you're new to cannabis or trying a new strain, don't go overboard. Even a modest amount, like 0.5g, can be overwhelming if you don’t know how it will affect you. Instead, take 3-4 small puffs, then give yourself some time to relax and analyze how you feel. This approach will help you gauge the strain's effects on your body and mind before diving in deeper. The Basics of Sativa, Indica, and Hybrid Strains Sativa: Known for its uplifting and energizing effects, Sativa strains are often associated with increased creativity, focus, and euphoria. They’re a popular choice for daytime use, but they’re not for everyone. Indica: These strains are typically relaxing and calming, often used to relieve stress, anxiety, insomnia, and pain. Indica is great for unwinding after a long day or for soothing the mind and body. Hybrids: A mix of Sativa and Indica genetics, hybrids can provide a balanced experience, offering the best of both worlds depending on the strain's dominant traits. My Personal Experience As someone who struggles with PTSD, OCD, and social anxiety, I’ve found that Sativa strains can be overwhelming for me. While they’re supposed to boost energy and creativity, they often leave me feeling paranoid and overstimulated due to my introverted nature. On the other hand, Indica strains are my go-to. They calm my entire body and mind, helping me focus on constructive thoughts without feeling weighed down by anxiety. Indica is like a warm blanket for my nerves. I’ve also had great experiences with hybrid strains, like the Ed Rosenthal strain. This hybrid gives me a perfect balance: I feel the Sativa’s head effects—energy and creativity—while my body remains completely chilled out, creating an incredibly enjoyable and productive high. Why You Should Experiment Thoughtfully Every strain is different. Not all Sativas or Indicas will affect you in the same way, which is why it’s crucial to test and learn what your body and mind respond to best. Some Sativas might surprise you with their subtlety, and some Indicas might be too sedating. Experimentation is key, but always start slow and stay mindful of how you feel. Cannabis is a personal journey, and finding the right strain can transform the experience from "just getting high" to genuinely enhancing your well-being. Stay curious, stay cautious, and enjoy the ride!

Manhunt Launched for Fugitive Brit Thought to be Hiding in Thailand

It depends on what kind of arrhythmia. There are so many different kinds and most of them aren't dangerous. I myself have non-sustained extrasystoles (pvcs-pacs -- I'm 36), but they're actually harmless since I have a normally structured heart. Not dangerous but extremely annoying, and they can take a toll on mental health. However, I do suggest to anyone who hasn't been checked to undergo an ECG to ensure that their heart is structurally normal because it can be potentially dangerous with an unhealthy heart. (That's actually how young football players die—they had congenital heart issues that they weren't aware of because they never tested for it).

I HIGHLY suggest you check-out ''Let's Get High'' in Chiang Mai.They are in Chiang Mai but they deliver everywhere in Thailand. Here's their link: https://weed.th/shop/90b4cfa8-e274-41b1-873d-43da4a30544e/chiang-mai/lets-get-high-cnx I'm not living there at the moment but everytime I'm there I buy from them (no -- I'm not affiliated in any way shape or form with them I just like their bud). They have promotion for both 3A-5A weed (2A have no promotion but at 150b/g it's understandable). 2A - 150b/g 3A - 240b/g (5g - 1000b) 4A - 400b/g (3g - 1000b) 5g - 450b/g (3g - 1200b) Much better than these crazy over-priced shops in BKK that are selling at 600-900b/g wtf..

RFK Jr. argues that Biden is a bigger threat to democracy than Trump

Have you noticed the one thing that all these old politicians (politicians in general, to be honest) have in common? They're literally out of touch with reality. They don't even understand how their own people live. They're living a life away FAR from the same people who are funding their salary. It's as if they're not even aware of what's happening in the world at all. And of course they're doing all that while robbing their own.

PM Blasted For Saying Cannabis Policy Yielded Bad Results
shocky2012 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
As I'm growing older (I recently turned 36), I realize that the worst kind of people are those who have an opinion about everything and anything without really knowing what they're talking about. You know, those who always try to insert their opinion without anyone asking. Politicians are exactly these kinds of people. They try to tell others how they should live, speak, breathe, etc. These are truly the worst kind of people. Just look at COVID... they kept telling people to stay inside while, themselves, having parties with other people. I honestly can't stand them at all. They're exploiting their own people and are the LAST kind of people you should trust. They truly couldn't care less about you. I 100% would trust a made men in the mob before I trust a politician. -

Man quits weed after 20 years and shares the benefits
shocky2012 replied to george's topic in Thailand Cannabis Forum
You do make some good points, especially regarding the high heart rate shortly after consuming cannabis. Actually, part of my PTSD involves cardiophobia, which I developed 20 years ago. I've always had some form of health anxiety, but cardiophobia has always been the most prominent. Then, in 2014, I developed heart arrhythmia (benign - just random ectopics, skipped heart beats), which increased my anxiety significantly. After undergoing tests and discovering that there's nothing wrong with my heart and it's all in the mind, that's when I started making serious efforts to understand this condition and how it can truly impact someone's way of thinking. For that reason, I definitely notice a difference in how I feel depending on the strains. For some unknown reason, certain strains make my heart race, while others don't affect it at all. -
Reason why cannabis is going to be banned again
shocky2012 replied to Jayaroi's topic in Thailand Cannabis Forum
Man, did you have your lunch stolen by a pothead when you were in primary school or something? You're spouting so much nonsense; it's actually a skill. You're out here comparing methamphetamine to weed and talking about 'potheads' murdering their grandparents... like what?!? Are you ok? I sincerely worry.
