This is Thailand, I'm sure getting a doctor's certificate won't be hard especially for the older guys among us who could believably have aches and pains.  

As for it being under very hard control, it's not under very hard control now really.  Loads of people smoke it all the time here and never have any problems with the law.
 

Very stupid conclusion

Thats not so strange, you are either found guilty, resulting in a long penalty, or not guilty.

Judges cannot say they have doubts and therefore you are a bit guilty giving you half a sentence.

Oooh right! Thanks, I didn´t know that.

It would be great for tourism if it was legalized across the board!

Yeah, but that is not the case here.

Because as a recreational drug it has far less deleterious effects than Alcohol, plus when used medicinally there is a wealth of evidence that it has many benefits. 

There are of course huge differences between the recreational use and medicinal use, the products are in fact two completely different classes of item, despite both being derived from the same plant.

Personally I'd rather adults were allowed to take whatever drug they want, but that will take a bit longer to happen.  

Sure, I get it. If it was legalized, it would be something for people that like it to be happy about, but that is not the point. This is only for people that get a cerificate from doctors that can benefit from. As well as very hard control.

If you dont understand that, then i dont understand why your name is happyandrich ,wich you for sure you cannot be if you dont understand this . Or did you get your parrents money for free or by dumb luck win the lottery .

No, I started with empty hands. No lottery win and no free money from parents. Still don´t know why everybody is so  happy about this. My name is Happy and Rich, because that is the two things that define who I am. See, I did know why, but still don´t know. Must mean you were wrong.

But you know, if we are making a talk about different handles. Yeah, then I think Nanaplaza666 says a lot about you. To me it means a boy that still lives in the believe that it´s tough and rough to get a new girl everyday pumped up with enough booze to can handle it.

and I quote'' not the difference of two two that was relevant''  ''what does that even mean????..your English is the issue here sir,...next time re - read your posts before you hit the submit button ..cuase I sir didn't miss anyting in your post....

Yes, right! You just showed the normal instinct and reaction, that a person generally use when they know they lost the discussion. Moving the concentration on an irrelevant and off topic factor. Well Done, Sir!

I make it very simple. Children get hurt and risk brain damage due to that too many are in kickboxing fights at a too early age. You are condoning that with your comments. To me that´s the words of a passive love for hurting children.

Just to help you with the obvious: two two, should have been, the two.

NO..one is a sign of mental a disorder the other is a sport..you choose which is which..have a good one sir

It was not the difference of two two that was relevant, but I somehow knew you would miss that.

It was condoning the result of the circumstance, as you do in the sport, that leads to the same result. Remember? Brain damage.

And condoning that is what you do with your comments. Do not miss the relevance next time, please. You go ahead and have a good one too.

I am not attacking you, far from it, you have had a successful career and you are now enjoying the fruits of your hard work. Having said that I remember a hospice nurse saying once that people on their deathbed never regret having spent too little time in the office. Like you my father was a materialist and died a rich man with a villa and a yacht in Australia. During his second heart attack he had a near death experience, when he recovered he realized that all he had worked hard for was total crap, he spent the rest of his life in introspection and deeply regretted being saved by the paramedics, he had no more interest in his wealth anymore and despite having the best medical insurance he died with his third heart attack. At 83 he died a humble man.

You might be right about everything else, but not about me being a materialist. I of course own a flat in my home country if I ever would feel like moving back. That´s not materialistic. it´s Security and good planning. Over that I do not own one thing in Thailand. It´s all in other names, and I do not need half of it. Just secured that I have the possibilities to live a secure and decent life without any worries.

Sad to see this , these kids are so passionate about this sport they live and breath it,they train hard and are the warriors in the ring, I guess now they will have more free time to get fat and play mindless games on their phones  .like the rest of the lost boys of Thailand...IMHO the use of feet should be banned...just allow tradtitional ''bOXING''..

So, if your child is very passionate about bonking his head in the wall as hard as he can, when he is not happy with you. Then that´s ok? Must be same thing like getting hard kicks and hits on the head at a low age, right?

And you can go back to being someone who continually puts people down.  You sound angry- maybe I touched a spot and when you look in the mirror you see someone who just can't stop being what you are-   you might want to check the negative reactions whenever you post-  oh- I know- they are all peasants.  Please stop the negativity- It's not about you or me...

I have much more positive than negative seen over all. However, that is not important. The important thing is that I do not see myself at all like you are trying to put it. I see myself as a person that built my life from start with two empty hands and a lot of go and motivation. That´s why I can say it´s all possible for everyone to do.

That´s also why I today can look in the mirror and say: "Hi there handsome guy. You made it. You are actually worth this after all your hard work." After that I just feel happy to be one of those that just don´t need to go to a foreign country and complain my arse off, just for the hell of it.

I just simply look at the moon, thank the US population that Trump lost the house, take a whiskey and put on a Youtube comedy about how bad it goes for the sinking ship Sweden. Cheers!

You obviously have no concept of how much  800K really is but it is  alot in America and the UK.  For someone who retired after Age 65- their income level which their pension is based upon was low.  In 1971- I was making $7,000 per  year and the Exchange rate on the Thai Baht was between 20-25 per Dollar. At that time 800,000  Thai Baht was $40,000.   I can tell you both then and right now- not many Americans or UK citizens have that kind of money sitting in a bank-  

When I was drafted into the US Army  I received $90.00 per month and when I was sent to Vietnam  a little over $150.00 per month.  Luckily- I survived and earned University degrees and  was able to  obtain employment in fields which brought greater compensation.

Not everyone has the luck or the means to get an education- Even today- in some US States the minimum wage is $7.25 per hour- hardly livable so the pool of people who could even consider a trip to Thailand low and the number who could get the equivalent of 800,000 to live in Thailand is minuscule compared to the US population.

 

I know many people who came to Thailand throughout the years with stable incomes; worked locally or in Oil/Gas- some  married; some didn't- many people invested millions in homes; cars; send children to University- ate local- sacrificed  for their family. Most have the 40K per month- some have the 65K per month- some have  large bank accounts- most have modest bank accounts.

 

Please don't tell me or others who worked our ass off for 40-50 years 800K is a measly amount and if you feel like that you must have never worked much in your life.

 

As i have said before- most people plan their lives the best they can but things happen- in my own life- a catastrophic illness of a family member cost over 3 million baht. In your view- I suppose I should have had 5 million Baht in the bank. I was lucky- I was able to go back to work and make it all back and more. I'm not looking for sympathy or a pat on the back. So many others  can't make it back but do the best they can. A change in financial requirements for many people in Thailand who live quite nicely on their income can be traumatic.

 

Stop putting people down- Stop making assumptions about their life and what they should have done. Unless you lived it- you don't know the pain or the gain. Get your attitude right and you might actually be able to  put forth something positive instead of your continual negativity.

 

 

No of course it was only you that was lucky to come back. Why are you even stating something that out of touch with reality? You had a goal, belief and your motivation never failed. that´s why you reached your goal and that´s why others fail to reach them. People that continuously speak about their bad luck and hardship in life and complain about small changes in rules, regulations and laws are in my opinion not material for success in life. That also mean they made a bad choice without anything to fall back on to move to another country and create a life, family and build a house. They lived in fear all the time, for what could happen with their  life. That is not a great way to start a beautiful life in another country.

Back to me. You know the man that talks so much and not worked enough according to you. I am today a bit over 50 and I can guarantee that I´ve worked more and harder in my life than you ever had. I owned 3 night clubs and 4 restaurants as well as 3 pubs in my home country. Worked everyday in them from open to close and took care of the paper work at my free time.

So don´t come talk to me about work, planning and experience in life. Now you can go back to live your Thai dream.

Over all that it´s nice to see new beer coming, but it would be better if 7/11 started to zoom in on more of the well know and popular high class brands.
