You've been smoking for 40 years is anything clear to you..............lol

 

Ignoring the crash rates spiking as a result of cannabis usage suggests not

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

I suggest you read my post, where did I say I drove at all? However thanks for the advice that it can stay in the body for weeks so people should be more careful.  

Crash rates jump in wake of marijuana legalization, new studies show

 

More evidence is emerging that crash rates go up when states legalize recreational use and retail sales of marijuana.

Crash rates spiked with the legalization of recreational marijuana use and retail sales in California, Colorado, Nevada, Oregon and Washington, a new study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and another by the affiliated Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) show.

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)

Couldn't care less what you've smoked for the last 40 years. No I don't smoke, tried it once many years ago at a friends house, felt terrible, went out to the car and had to put the reclining seat down for 30 mins before even thinking about driving. Never again for me thanks.

 

As for my advice about not driving while on weed, yes its the obvious one that reflects my personal experience and was in response to this portion of your post below:

However its not just my advice is it. Its clearly illegal in most countries to drive under the influence as it is here. Yet most people in Thailand will take no notice of that and accident rates will go up as a result.

 

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

Since the one site has sold out, and since restocked, I'd say more than a few are quite happy to pay 700/gr (-10% promo) delivered to their door for free.

 

Not myself of course, but I also won't pay 100 baht for a beer either, unless it or I, am somewhere special to warrant it.

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

Plenty of sane, logical and non hysterical advice out there. Here's one, don't drive after smoking weed. 

 

Here's the reality, most people in Thailand will take no notice of that and accident rates will go up as a result

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

Sorry, the site is not very clear.

Even though you have informed me that the price is for 3.5g, I cant find any indication of the weight for this price.

However, the 3.5g price would make more sense.

 

Which brings me on to my next question:

700 Baht per gram, Who the hell is paying that?

 

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

No wonder... Go figure what they put in them rolled up joints, they can put and filler they like and you take it to your lungs...

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

Was just looking at geenlabs website all very "professional looking" wonder who's the influential guy behind that ? certainly doesn't look like a temporary thing either and that's possibly something to be optimistic about regarding future availability . It will certainly appeal to the  more "well-heeled" customer 

                   However I hope any future legislation doesn't squeeze out the smaller guy's firstly as I rather prefer the more down to earth experience  (and prices) of shopee   or getting it off a local guy, met some good friends that way over the years too. And secondly because its not fair if the economic benefits that were touted  for all are monopolised for the usual suspects, especially if legislation is used to achieve that aim  That would be bad for users too  But allowing people to grow 10 plants is also a positive sign and I doubt that will change

                    Also if chintzy shops start popping upon the highstreet it might just help to dispell the "dirty pothead" image that the prohibitionists like to project

We have to remember this is how the country has always been, regardless of which type of government. You must first have common sense, leaders who think about consequences and what responsibility is needed. This country takes no action on underage drinking, smoking, riding motorcycles and wearing helmets, so why would they have any laws about underage smoking of weed? Then after making the laws, nobody will do anything, not the police, only waiting for bribes to let there child go after being caught smoking.

 

"Young people held up placards asking for tough penalties for law breakers and protection for the nation's youth. One in a white face mask had a big marijuana leaf."  I think his mom was in front of him making him do that in the photo.

 

This will be interesting now, what will happen to the youth? 55555  

hahaaha that absolutely looks like busted teenager forced to attend by his mother...Brilliant Observation

Hey, I don't mind sharing the spoils.

However, ground rule # 1:

 

 

Now there's a thing, years ago when i was younger back in the 70's  we always used to pass  spliffs round, sometimes it got a bit ridiculous with maybe 5 people and six spliffs going around,  then one day  it just kind of stopped, don't remember when, but all of a sudden we just smoked our own, and anybody who did pass a spliff round was considered a bit weird. Not a bad thing really as some people had really sloppy mouths and there was nothing worse than a saliva soaked spliff

May I suggest a half glass straight lemon juice, that should loosen up your tongue enough to cure 'speechlessnes'

 

Guess you don't know me at all, a lot of my quotes are in jest, tongue in cheek, and well, I wasn't replying to you.

 

Peace

If it was really a lounge in cheek then maybe I should retract my remarks. But I still think that considering the level of ignorance and what almost boils down to bigotry regarding the matter in question the use of such clichés is not very helpful

Bumping up the potency of cheap weed of low THC with synthetic cannabinoids from China is a problem in some European countries already. The industry need some regulation, for the customers’ sake. Whether the army has the apparatus to test for such chemicals, I don’t know.

You are talking about "spice" , it does not provide the effects that cannabis users desire and would be avoided like the plague so there is no future for that either .  "Spice" itself only exists as a direct consequence of prohibition

If people were just allowed to grow their own there would be no black market, no "mafia" involvement. no profits to be made, and no need for any regulation.  It would in effect be exactly the same as growing your own tomatoes

It would be a waste of time and money adding "normal" cocaine, as cocaine in its standard form cannot be smoked (well you could smoke it theoretically but it wouldn't have much effect) it needs to be crack cocaine and seeing as its not grown in Burma it would be prohibitively expensive.  Certain kind's of heroine can be smoked but the effects would not be what users of cannabis are looking for so another waste of time and money That allegation is therefore discredited

The under statement of the year... does anybody here or even in the whole of Thailand, knows exactly what you can or can't do with the weed, or what are the precise laws regarding growing, keeping using and selling Marijuana i'd like to now... 

You obviously don't smoke it so why are you so eager to know? thinking of reporting somebody?? Or are you considering dealing ?

you can look on shopee  but bear in mind the progeny from seeds are not identical, once you have grown one that you like , cuttings are the way forward
