  1. They grew hemp for making products made of hemp 😀 not drugs. They where outnumbered and made illegal by cotton producers. Interesting history, also the more conspiracy part behind it. Cocaine was also legal for a brief moment in tge history
  2. Isnt that strange, all these uneducated lower class people, have the right to carry gun as much as you do? And the more legal guns, the more illegal stolen guns will become available. Strange how this endless circle of violence is created, isn't?
  3. Obviously, nanny state working better than no state caring for most peoples health and security! A good example is world richest and most powerful country being ripped apart by to many individual egoistic selfish needed people. There is no common ground left to oppose all these conflicting forces. Read someone state 50% of germans between 18-40 smoke ganja? Well, that sounds promising for a healthy productive country with free individuals. Back in the days, either you where productice and produced, or you where left behind. Today, you can float through life doing nothing in the western countries and live ok, but for how long? You understand there is a crossing point? Between To much nanny and to little? I really do not care, but most people are stupid, and stupid people need guidance, simple as that. Average iq in the world is around 82-85, and in Germany 100, usa 97
  4. I had it all when I was younger and grew up. Easy girls and party Im done, Whats the fun with it? Makes it hard to have an healthy relationship and keep your health, have a stable and and a good life involves all of that, not endless restless partiea, and the same happens over and over again and again.
  5. You talking about those who is on a inner journey to find and seek their consciousness, and develop themselves with help of drugs. Im sure you know that can be done without drugs to? No, there is no cure for abuse of stimuli, but we can limit the abuse to a minimum, giving those who need help the help they need. Not making every possible stimulants available for everyone at anytime. Do you understand the difference? This is just a politicsl bait same as the other side screaming for harder actions agsinst drugs destruction and use without solving the core of the problem first
  6. This is a response to a society who gives up and give in the get the popular vote among their voters. It is not especially long sighted constructive building a healthy society
  7. You are talking about a very limited percentage of population, most people just want to have fun, get wasted, intoxicated or and treat their personal problems, physically or and mental sick and do not get the help they need.
  8. Im not debating legal controlled use, thats the opposite of how Thailand opened up for cannabis use. We got 3 plants on our door, because we have a registered farm, we did not even sign up for it.
  9. I had this qoute in my mind when writing my rant above, and even it is a popular social phenomenon qoute now, it is spot on! “Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.” The quote, from a postapocalyptic novel by the author G. Michael Hopf, sums up a stunningly pervasive cyclical vision of history.
  10. No country have ever been built on weakness, and this is a sign of weakness. A illness spread out all over the world together with social media and bitcoins! Future built on illusions and no hard work, neither mentally or physically. Thats why the west finely will brake down because we let it happen, and we brake it down ourself thinking we do good. No doubt drug politics have failed, but why do people do drugs in the first place? That is the question, There is no solution on the cause of the abuse, they just open the gates to destruction. A rant, and I expect great response
  11. Have any of those countries opened up for cannabis the same chaotic way as Thailand? We got 3 plants at our door from the ampur! We didnt even ask for it. No control or regulation at all, the same way you can buy dirty contaminated kratom drinks everywhere you go as well. No control no regulation is the way to success.
  12. When flagging rainbow colours becomes a problem or a matter of larger public opinion, where it should be allowed or not! Before all the politics, Rainbow colours represented hope, freedom and happiness with no ties or ownership, and no problem with any gender or sexuality who want to use the rainbow colours or sumbol, it is the activism it have turned in to.
  13. An rednecks wet dream?
  14. Straight people used to be 88-90% of the population, so obviously there is more who identify as straight, but Im not sure how that comes out when young boys is abused by boys/men? Can we with certainty say 100% of male abusers who abuse boys is gay? This rainbow 🌈 capture is sad to see used politically. 80'ies was so bright and colorful, now politically abused and dirty. We had all skydiving rigs and canopies with rainbow colours back then, represented hope and freedom.
  15. I checked 2 years ago, and believe up to 60k baht transfer wise was better compared to my bank to BKK bank, but from 100k and up, bank to bank was responsible cheaper. Currency differences included
  16. Is it better terms from wise to bank, or bank to bank?
  17. I had no issues with retirment visa so far, except as you say, a new paper once and awhile Im making a new or renewal. After all they are a country with 🍌 We know it will not be cheaper to stay in Asia for the future, and there is many unsure issues coming, especially world stability. Still it is 800k for retirement and 400k for marrige visa. Im staying out of thailand this year 6 months until the rules is more clear. No way Im paying tax to my home country who provide me social security and Thailand. Thailand have to give something in return before I do.
  18. If you have marriage, retirement, work or elite, you have quite good long term certainty. A little bit tax issues, and other details will come along, but thats quite normal in a constantly changing world. Thats why we should never cut ties, and also have a large enough buffer when SH
  19. The best tip you can get today, is to get in shape and loose weight, Shave or wax your body, and move to a beach or island. There is no excuse to have an 46" waist except being to lazy to get the job done! Living in tropic and being obese is a slow suicide
  20. Take some visdom to realize the importance of never cut ties, and also to realize retirement is not all about fun (what you think is fun, or what was fun before), umbrella drinks (or chang) and young ladies.
  21. When you walk in to a room asked for blue colour items, and then when you walk out for then be asked how many red items did you see? The same when reading forums, you only focus on leftish insults, and realky do not notice insults from your biased viewed fellow's
  22. Good luck, may I ask, do you have any experience with former eastern block countrie, and Georgia? Good timing by the way. Slovakia is decent thow and beautiful
  23. So a gun make you safer? The mentality of everyone have a gun, doesnt that mean the criminals have easier to use their gun? An evil circle.
  24. Grew up on a farm where we had alot rifles and guns, and available for me since 12 years old, and could go out and shoot whenever I wanted, but never owned a gun myself. If you feel the need for a gun to protect yourself, you living the wrong place! Most people have no need for a gun!
  25. Moving to asia without a safety line, is not recommended! I have met so many expats who do not have any insurance, and many of them is from Uk.
