Thai PM says he opposes the recreational use of cannabis
JBChiangRai replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Does your licence specify THC percentage? According to the law you can grow and sell flower with less than 0.2% THC. Equally, if Srettha says the licences are being interpreted incorrectly, they don’t need to change the law, only change how you interpret it. -
Electric Vehicles in Thailand

My last EV had NMC batteries, if possible I would try and avoid them, but if I had my heart set on a particular car and it had them, I would probably accept it. In Thailand, it’s definitely something you want to consider. I would definitely sleep better with LFP batteries. -

I have. My friend has a huge cannabis farm in Chiang Rai, the infographic released by THE THAI GOVERNMENT is correct, but it’s being overlooked, currently. -

This is where the ambiguity comes in. The infographic and US Government define the law, how it is being interpreted is different. This can be a bad thing for stoners, because the government can argue that THC greater than 0.2% in flower is already banned and then it’s game over. -

LFP last twice as many charge/discharge cycles compared to NMC. NMC is more likely to catch fire but performs better in cold temperature climates. NMC doesn’t like being fully charged, the battery degrades, so shouldn’t be left at 100%. LFP is safer in hot climates and can be charged to 100% NMC has a higher energy density so can pack more power in the same size. NMC uses nickel, manganese and cobalt. Cobalt is controversial because children mine it in Africa. There are probably other reasons, but these are the ones that come off the top of my head. -

The infographic IS correct. It’s also the same advice given by US Government to it’s citizens visiting Thailand. -

Deflection. Alcohol is worse, let’s solve that first. Tobacco is worse, let’s solve that first. Washing Machines break, let’s solve that first. -

C40 is not cheap. EX30 is reasonable. Made in China is a big plus. NMC batteries, not ideal but I suspect is par for the course with most “Performance” variants. It needs considering carefully. -

Source: US CDC Addiction Some people who use marijuana will develop marijuana use disorder, meaning that they are unable to stop using marijuana even though it’s causing health and social problems in their lives. One study estimated that approximately 3 in 10 people who use marijuana have marijuana use disorder.1 Another study estimated that people who use cannabis have about a 10% likelihood of becoming addicted.2 The risk of developing marijuana use disorder is greater in people who start using marijuana during youth or adolescence and who use marijuana more frequently.3 -

It is only legal if THC content is below 0.2% I don’t think anyone can use that recreationally. This graphic from the Thai Government PR Dept. -
It all depends whether your balcony is yours or common area. If it’s yours then you are responsible for anything that goes down it and causes a blockage. Whether through action, or inaction (ie not removing leaves). Think about it this way, let’s assume the balcony is yours and it’s blocked with cigarette butts, of course you’re responsible, now what’s the difference if it’s blocked with leaves because you never cleared them out every time they got there, it’s still your responsibility.

Amazing Thailand, where the populous overwhelmingly vote to get rid of the old guard like Anutin & Thammanat, only to have them reappear as Deputy PM and as minister. -

What you say is true in what the law says can be sold and those clauses are silent on flower, however, the law also says it is a narcotic, and if it’s a narcotic, then it is illegal to take for recreational purposes, that is the law. -
Ruined girls as you describe don’t warrant sinsod. It’s only stupid westerners who pay it. A girl working in a bar would be considered ruined, but maybe her parents don’t know that she works in the bar, she probably told them she works in a restaurant and I can see an issue then. You are right, I do prefer the Thai system of grooms paying for the wedding. My 2 daughters are privately educated and go to university, I told the eldest one’s boyfriend that I wanted 10M baht sinsod, I was joking and surprised a few months later when he said it might take a few years of him saving up. My daughter that it was funny and put him straight. Her sinsod is agreed at 1M baht and the married couple will be given it after the wedding, but that won’t be happening any time soon.
