In 2009 one could get a multi entry non o even when under 50 although non sure why you are concerned, do you work for immigration?

I think its you who doesn't understand It would be very easy for me to find 2000 or so people who would think completely the opposite of what the people in the dusit survey allegedly said. Would you consider that a representative survey?

The ones going to the UK aren't exactly kicking and screaming

I can assure you neither Thais nor anybody else take any notice of Dusit polls they are renowned for using very small representative samples and being very selective regarding the type of people they ask, normally to further an often political agenda. They obviously did not only legalise cannabis for "medical reasons and health" whatever Anutin or any of them might say. The main reason for any of it was money pure and simple and Anutin and his friends have no doubt done very well out of it so far with much more money to come. Allowing people to grow ten plants in their gardens has nothing to do with medical usage does it ? Mind you I'm certainly not complaining

The Mother in Law is getting on about now and is struggling getting around on her bicycle. the Mrs and her sister are thinking about getting her one of these battery powered trikes, I'm probably going to have to put my hand in my pocket at some point in the proceedings but I don't really know anything about these presumably Chinese manufactured devices, I cant imagine any of them are particularly well made or will last very long with regards to either the rechargeable batteries , electrical system or general moving parts. Has anybody had any experience of these vehicles and could anybody recommend a particular make as being a bit less rubbish than the others. ? Any advice appreciated thanks in advance .

Good job they don't get their (mis) information from this forum they would be terrified with "reefer madness" by the way nobody pays any attention to "dusit polls"

Of course he's whinging and he's getting on my nerves a bit too. I never realised what sheltered lives some people have lead. The level of ignorance on here is actually astounding. I didn't even know such people actually live here. how do some of these people manage to exist here. They wouldn't last long in the "impoverished countryside (not my words) where I live Can you imagine it... " Look TeeRak there's that young tearaway riding his motorcycle with no helmet, I'm going to have a strong word with his father and give him a piece of my mind " "Oh please not again don't cause trouble TeeRak" ... ".No don't try to stop me standards must be maintained and if the father wont control him then I'll be speaking to the PhuYai Ban in the stongest terms " "what do you mean he doesn't speak English, He jolly well has to, and whilst I'm there I'll be mentioning that young strumpet who has just a a child out of holy wedlock, absolutely disgraceful " etc etc hahahahaha !

Some people will not be happy until they have turned this place into a copy of the miserable over-regulated places they used to live For the love of god chill out

Its spot on what the Thais say about us , well some of us Farang think too much"

you" MAY" get it from drinking regularly. would be more accurate

Well for starters nobody is "adulterating" weed to increase its potency, where are the news reports of that ? why on earth would they? as its not what smokers want and would not be tolerated, and as for pesticides they may well be used I guess just like they are undoubtedly used on most of what you eat ! that is something we just have to live with unless you have got a solution , which I doubt, as your sort never have' "Serious nut jobs talking down to people" well you are certainly "serious" and you certainly seem to think its ok for yourself to talk down to people in your little rant, there are many people on this forum who have never been anywhere cannabis and haven't got a clue what they are talking about yet insist on spewing out rubbish, fuelled it would appear, by their fear of the unknown They actually seem to feed off each other, and its almost a pathetic competition to see who can come up with the scariest and / or most ridiculous fear mongering theories born out of pure ignorance As far as road safety is concerned the impact of cannabis will pale into significance compared to the impact of alcohol. two completely different substances which affect people in completely different ways. Speaking from personal experience throughout the last 40 years I've driven 1,000,000s of miles over 3 continents with a spliff in my hand and have never been involved in or caused an accident (guess I'm just lucky eh?) But I haven't noticed any additional cannabis related carnage reported on the news and if there was, the media would be on it in a flash so its obviously not happening And then there's your "predictable concern " for the youth of Thailand and the effects cannabis will have on their development ! somewhere along the way , no doubt due to your simmering outrage you seem to have conveniently overlooked the fact that cannabis is not legally available to people under 20 years old (even though they can drink, marry, procreate, vote and indeed fight for their country when younger than that) Or are you concerned that teachers might suddenly start turning up to work stoned? Finally were are the people who continually castigate and criticise the Thais ? well I wondering that my self , and have come to the conclusion that they are currently too busy castigating innocent and responsible cannabis users who for your information have been lighting up without worrying too much about being arrested And with regards to exam results etc , no it isn't my problem or yours for that matter and anyone who thinks they can change things has delusions of grandeur I find the general tone of your little rant very condescending you seem to think that everybody other than yourself is unable to control themselves and the whole country is about to descend into your self imagined reefer madness scenario, Strangely I don't know one person who has decided to break a lifetimes abstinence and partake of cannabis due to the relaxation of restrictions, how many do you know? I'm not saying there aren't such people but they are in the minority there has not been and will not be the descent into Sodom and Gomorrah that you and your holier than thou buddies predict Another obsession of the prohibitionists seems to be their perception and obsession regarding the strength of cannabis and their unfounded belief that cannabis users will uncontrollably crave stronger and stronger varieties. more absolute rubbish and again very condescending, One said on here that it is now 100 times stronger than "before" you really could not make it up. Presumably you enjoy a beer ? do you continually crave whisky ? are you unavoidably drawn to Absinth or even Lao Khao? Have you found out the hard way....? Peoples concerns are absolutely based on government funded propaganda and reefer madness hysteria as they have heard nothing else for nearly 100 years .Its actually impossible for the prohibitionists to base their fears on anything else People seem to ignore the somewhat unspectacular relaxation of restrictions in the more forward looking countries Holland Canada etc where society has not descended into hell on earth as you are predicting here You really need to stand down off your soap box and give people some credit for common sense and the ability to control themselves Yes there are plenty of things to worry about if indeed you are the worrying sort, the traffic safety concerns you have, will no doubt be addressed as I'm sure will your educational development worries, but it will be done by the Thais in a Thai style which is something you don't seem to appreciate, but unfortunately for you, due to your location, it is something you are going to have to accept

The study you provide the link to in its self admits that the "evidence" is somewhat inconclusive, and that would be clear to a blind man There is no way they can prove that the accidents were directly caused as a result of cannabis usage. It is anecdotal at best, in fact, all it does prove is that people are more likely to admit to cannabis use when it is not illegal. Don't need to be a genius to work that one out

Its pretty clear from your post that you drove so don't try to deny it Yeah and crash rates go up when people start driving at all ! maybe just ban cars then there would be no crashes. And if it saves just one child's life will it have been a positive move (to echo the usual arguments for banning things)

So after 30 minutes of being intoxicated whilst in charge of a motor vehicle, you then decided to drive despite being still intoxicated !!!! Very irresponsible behaviour indeed.!!!! The tell tale signs of cannabis use can remain in the body for weeks after intoxication has long passed so you really should have been more careful. but then again its OK for you just not for others? And then you come on here to give me your "informed advice",,,,,enough said

Samui was not an independent state last time I looked, so I can't see that it is still illegal there However I also wouldn't take to much notice of what they tell you in bars especially ones with a vested interest in lying to you. The police may also try to call your bluff but in reality there is nothing they can do. they will invariably try it on with people they perceive to be naiive and they will back down if you stand your ground on this matter at present. Just make sure you are not guilty of anything else at the time !!

Ah but are they really sold out, or is it a clever marketing ploy ??? Totally agree about beer prices , spot on

I've smoked weed for over 40 years, you obviously don't smoke and therefore are not qualified to advise me or anybody else on matters regarding cannabis.

Possibly the same way that so many non smokers of cannabis seem to think they know so much, yet in reality know so little

Thank you very much, however when I want your advice I will ask for it

Try saying that you jumped into a swimming pool with no water in it, I think that raised a significant amount Im sure market forces will eventually prevail and prices will drop soon I am used to paying over the odds back in the uk but now I resent paying anything more than around 20bt per gram, and I doubt i am the only one

If you click on the picture of the bud it opens in a larger window and the price per 3.5g is written in small letters just above it. As regards to your second question... God only knows, some must have more money than sense! I paid 10b / gram for some excellent "brickweed" from shopee which really hits the spot I guess Its like another poster mentioned ...the same people who pay 5000 bt + for wine

Noticed this morning on the Amarin TV news ( channel 24) They now have a sign on the news desk A black cannabis leaf on a yellow background with words to the effect that Gancha is very dangerous if used incorrectly . Fair enough I thought, although they offer no advice as to how to use it correctly Some of my Thai friends often use the word "yellow" in the same way english speakers use the word "whitey" No doubt that is why they used the yellow background I just watched a report about a gang of youths staging an impromptu road race on a public road right through the middle of a village, at least one was killed, but they didn't feel the need to warn the "vulnerable teenagers " watching that it is dangerous to use a motorcycle "incorrectly" I wonder why

I'll educate you they put Gancha in joints.... there now you know,

Have you never found it strange that without exception websites like the one you provided a link to only ever publish a list of horrendous effects resulting from ingestion. They NEVER list any positive effects for example "pleasant relaxation" as an effect ! Can you not see that the reason they are so selective with the truth is because they have an agenda? If what they wrote was so accurate, its a miracle that anybody anywhere ever bothered with such an unpleasant toxic substance. AS far as I am concerned these websites which often quote the name and "qualifications" of an "expert" in an attempt tp legitimise their scaremongering claims have absolutely ZERO credibility !! I have yet to see one that provided clear information in a non hysterical way and practical advice to those considering usage You w

calm down bert thats actually the price quoted for 3.5g (still well over the top though in my opinion)
