somewhat misleading title, drug smuggling mules are not really tourists

29 - 30k !!!! were on earth do you go ?

Fear is a powerful tool when used by the authorities to control the masses, unfortunately as we have seen some people as so susceptible to it that they start to echo the authorities and do their work for them . An example is one guy on here telling us to obey the law

thinking about it, I guess the way they see it is, that not wearing a helmet may possibly result in a small fine at a certain time / location whereas not masking up will result in dirty looks from their peers ( and possibly endanger their lives and the lives of others according to some lol)

Absolutely correct , a similar thing has happened already in most of the west where people are required to wear Hi-viz vests to denote there working class status The reason for this is ostensibly for "health and safety" reasons which is something that can NEVER be questioned. Many years ago working class people would wear a "working mans" cap which was subtlety different from a country gentleman's cap. Somethings never change

Good point , lol but they weren't doing it before covid were they ? maybe they hadn't figured it out

This website was subjecting posters to suspensions and bans if they posted anything that they considered controversial regarding Covid 19, and yet they feel justified in repeating this kind of rubbish. What purpose does it serve other than to fan the flames of "reefer madness" hysteria ! Is there one journalist or member of mainstream media anywhere with anything positive to say on this subject ? I can't help noticing that the views expressed by the media are completely at odds to the views of the majority of the general public, but seem to echo the views of a very vocal but misinformed minority. Why is that ?

I Have to look on in bemused amazement when I see a family of 5 on a motorbike all wearing masks, but none wearing helmets, It kind of puts things into perspective don't you think ?

I cannot agree that wearing a mask outside will save anybody's life especially at this stage in the "pandemic"

why would you smoke that ? Its all legal now

another attempt at raising hysteria, do these journalists really have nothing better to do

I get your point, but on the other hand, could you imagine an expert marksman who had never fired a gun? Or an expert driver who had never sat in a car ? or an expert cook who had never been in a kitchen? or an expert fisherman who has never held a rod . Sometimes first hand experience is necessary to be considered an expert. The "experts" that will emerge over the coming weeks will mostly be nothing more than sensationalist scaremongers, reading from an old script, on a mission to stop people enjoying cannabis recreationally and to feed the media frenzy. If just one of these so called experts offered some practical advice, for example, to somebody thinking about smoking for the first time, I might change my mind but that's not going to happen Its going to be, as I said in my post, the same old rhetoric. Overdose (lol) blah blah Paranoia blah blah palpitations blah blah gateway drug blah blah with the underlying message being " don't do it" "just say no" (or if your English "just say no thank you") I wish i was wrong but I watched the news this morning and its already started, and have you noticed how many cannabis related threads have been started on this website by "webfact" as opposed to threads started by members. Prohibition can be ended overnight, but the misinformation that has been forced into peoples brains by various governments over the past 50 years will take a lot longer to forget

Oh rest assured there will be lots of them, all of them spewing out the same tired old negative rhetoric "refer madness " etc. Another thing they will have in common is that none of them will actually have any first hand experience of smoking cannabis, so they are not really experts at all are they ? However this doesn't matter as its the media that gives them the platform to express their ignorant outdated views and it suits them fine, because nothing gets the media in a frenzy as much as "drugs"

Presumably due to what they consider would be adverse publicity ? The bad publicity in this case would have been kept to a minimum had they not gone crying to the police and the media hadn't found out. It has now become national news of a salacious nature, ideal for the gutter press to express outrage and a few police and other uniformed individuals to do the same, not to forget the compulsory mention of the possible maximum punishments that may be handed out , presumably as a deterrent Call me cynical if you like, but maybe that's what they wanted, probably not so busy at present, and they do say there's no such thing as bad publicity, especially when its free

Its a common to most nationalities Thais are a perfect example

omg 700 / gram!!! how can they justify that its not that much in the uk and its still illegal there! I can get decent traditional Thai weed for around 50 bt a gram max Those prices will surely drop soon once the market becomes saturated

Won't change anything for me either, I was never very law abiding in respect to that law

Strange morals the Thais have, My mates missis spent a lot of time and effort trying to keep the local lads away from her daughter, but was quite happy when the girl went to "work " in Pattaya ! Apparently it was OK because she was only doing it for money.! Not sure how she would have reacted if she'd posted a video online of herself working, Maybe it would have been ok if it was "pay to view" I'll ask next time I see her

I don't even understand your post ! How have you "dealt with drunk people and yaba users"? Are you one of the Thai Visa armchair vigilantes,? I was watching the news earlier tonight and there still seems to be plenty of "yaba users and drunk people about" so you haven't dealt with them very well have you Action man. I'm sure 5 million drug crazed pot heads are shaking in their boots

Another nonsense post why do you do it,? have you been smoking cannabis now that its legal ?

he seems to like doing that

There's always somebody trying to spoil things, there's quite a few of then who would ban alcohol tomorrow too given the chance

Completely slipped my mind , probably due to the inevitable (alleged) cannabis induced short term memory loss, come to think of it I've not heard either of those tired old mantras for a while,

Who on earth would want to waste their time doing that

OMG couple has sex in resort!!!! were they even married??? this is exactly the breakdown in morals that the Thai Visa stalwarts have warned us about now that the evil devil weed has been legalised
