It's a whopping great hole in the new law - you do now need to register on the Plook Ganja app but any Thai can do it and there are no inspections or similar.

Then you can grow however much you want pretty much, it's not possible for anybody to check if you sell it or not.

 

So you now have commercial farms having to get some serious paperwork together for their commercial licenses, but everybody else growing unlimited amounts without any restrictions and in reality able to sell it without any problems.

 

What could possibly go wrong?

What could possibly go wrong?         Nothing , the past three years is evidence of that

I just want people to come on holiday , enjoy themselves, and not get involved in criminal activities, like cannabis smuggling.Whats wrong with that?

Why concern yourself about what others do.      I could not care less , as long as they leave me alone

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 has always produced huge quantities of cannabis, thousands of tons every year grown out doors in huge fields. Dwarfing any amounts grown more recently in tents and warehouses and other controlled environments. What do you think happened to all that weed before?  It obviously wasn't all for domestic consumption, so guess what , huge amounts have always been exported , and the rules regarding that have never been softened. large scale international drug smugglers surprisingly do not concern themselves with legalities

If you’re going to allow cannabis (with the proper restrictions) I would prefer to see 7-11’s selling it.

indeed why on earth not ?  they are currently allowed to sell 40% alcoholic spirits in quantities that would be lethal if consumed in their entirety,  A small amount of weed is really neither here or there really

Discussion is the raison d'être of a discussion forum. If everyone agreed with everyone else, there would be no more discussion, and no more forum.

 

All you do is accuse people who disagree with you of being drunkards, which is a really daft way to conduct a conversation. 

Discussion is fine , but to come on a thread which was intended to inform cannabis users regarding current legislation and to  continually berate and insult  others with the usual filthy "pot head,"  "psychotic stoners " type remarks clearly indicates that some have no intention of discussing anything, they are simply here to troll , Many of the anti cannabis types are heavy drinkers and therefore hypocrites, nothing wrong with calling them out in my opinion

I just don't get it if it isn't political...

 

The "problems" are easy to fix :

 

1. About the smell : There are already rules that say smoking in public is prohibited thus, they aren't enforced. WHY ?

2. About smuggling : It would be easy to make more controls at the airports, with some sniffer dogs and enhanced x ray machines . Anyway those brainless smugglers idiots will always continue to do that regardless of the status of the plant.

3. About the youngsters, the breastfeeding and pregnant women, again there are rules, enforced ??

4. All the shops that are near schools must relocate or close.

 

I don't understand how anybody could even consider smuggling cannabis in there luggage, 51kilos one was caught with no sniffer dog required to detect that, 

I don't really agree with point 4     as long as kids are not allowed to purchase I don't think it matters where the shops are   The shop could be 800 meters away the kids will still see it when walking home,

She is a better choice than an Army General or a Police General.

In what way  exactly ? I think she is just exactly the same

  She is just another member of the "elite" filling a position she is obviously not qualified to hold,but is probably considered her birthright. Thailand has many like her, the current (suspended) prime minister with her degree in hotel management or catering or whatever is another example. 

In this case tellingly there is no mention of her qualifications for the job or her past experience I think "DR" in this case is the female equivalent to "general"

Oh wow, look at you, the fearless lone wolf who avoids tourists and idiots like it’s your life’s mission. Such a hard man, pounding your chest online while trembling at a harmless comment. Tell us more about your heroic crusade.

No need to be a hard man or a lone wolf to avoid tourists,  What are you talking about , pounding chests and trembling?   have you been drinking?   Who wouldn't avoid tourists and to be honest people like you

It's because he's so full of horse manure and then refuses to admit it. 

Example: ' I will stop the Ukraine war within 24 hours of taking office.'

Six months later Putin still ignores him.

But rather than admitting defeat, he blames Biden for Russia invading Ukraine.

That's irrelevant, he said he would stop the war 

Come on Trump, admit you talk nonsense, be a man, take personal responsibility for the nonsense you spout.

Well he's deporting plenty of illegals he's pretty much disabled Iran the Us economy is doing ok , he's saved millions with his DOGE scheme, etc etc etc  and his popularity increases by the day . just accept it

Don't micro analyse everything he says, he is not a career politician reading from a manicured script  he is a businessman he operates a bit differently than the others but rest assured he is streets ahead of any opposition and will get results 

  Most importantly  of all , never forget what the alternative could have been

It’s illegal isn’t it?

 

Are one of those farang who believe that Thai laws don’t need to be followed? Because that’s the type of thing that gets farang a bad name in Thailand.

Steady on grandad its not illegal yet, 30 to 60 days grace as far as I am aware.   You can file your tax return while you are waiting ,wouldn't want to  get a bad name would we?

I lived in kap choeng for 6 years before.Near koktakien School.Name of the village is Baan hinkoun.I used to go to karaoke in baan Parat.

I know it well, the karaoke disappeared but there is another one just opened up right in the middle of that  village. I am only a couple of km from there

Personally I wouldn't want to live anywhere else,  not far from surin , not far from the border, I could be in Angkor Wat in 3 hours and the added bonus of the quietest friendliest immigration one could hope for,and if driving anywhere like Huahin for example  its 4 lanes all the way

My recollection is that it was for recreational usage, but only in situations where an innocent parties were not affected by its use?

 

Might have dreamt that up?

 

Edit (Reuters)

 

Anutin Charnvirakul has said that cannabis use is acceptable “in one’s own household, as long as it doesn’t bother others.” He emphasized that personal or therapeutic use at home isn’t problematic, provided it’s not impacting anyone else

I seem to remember there was a maximum  20,000 baht fine for public nuisance,  never enforced that I know of , police are not bothered anymore

I've been outspoken this issue in the past. 

 

Most of these guys came to Thailand when they were getting around 70 baht to the sterling. 

 

These guys are now hurting because the baht is so high. 

 

Sadly, it's why some here are so miserable, always moaning, whinging and whining. 

 

 

every thing in the shops costs the same as anywhere else  I'm  perfectly happy here and would not live anywhere else, I avoid tourists like the plague and have not seen one for years

If they care to stroll around the myriad of cannabis shops in my area, they will find many shops with outside seating areas provided, with music playing. All designed so that patrons can smoke their weed on the premises in a conducive atmosphere.

Is there really any harm in that?
