It would be more correct to say that village doctors have been treating people with just plain cannabis oil for hundreds of years. That has been the case in most, if not all,civilisations across the world. Mankind has enjoyed a long and beneficial relationship with cannabis for possibly thousands of years, Its eventual vilification and prohibition, which effectively ended medicinal use and indeed actually banned any research into its medicinal properties is a relatively recent issue which started just after the end of the prohibition of alcohol in America Local witch doctors had no idea about "CBD" hundreds of years ago, and even if they did, they certainly lacked the technology to either identify it or isolate it. So its a certainty that any oil used medicinally would have been a "full spectrum" type oil. And why not? "CBD" oil is hardly a natural, homeopathic product, its about as natural as decaffeinated coffee, it only actually exists, as a direct result of the prohibition, firstly because any trace of THC would render the oil illegal and therefore unsaleable in many countries. Secondly because of the hysteria, promoted for various reasons, primarily by mainstream media, surrounding the "evil" THC and "being high" So, as an example, in the UK for example its perfectly OK to use a bit of "processed" CBD cannabis oil from Tesco's to help with ones backache, BUT... if you use the natural unprocessed stuff and end up feeling a bit happier than normal then you have committed a serious drug related crime and would be prosecuted if caught in possession of oil containing any THC Many medicinal drugs have what might be described as pleasant side effects, morphine for example, but I have not heard of any attempts by scientists to remove the side effects nor have I ever heard of anybody refusing a morphine shot for fear of feeling happy Only cannabis generates such concerns and even to this day continues to receive so much negative attention. Is this a testament to the power of propaganda, or a damning criticism of peoples inability to think for themselves? Probably a bit of both. There was never any medical or scientific reason behind the prohibition of cannabis, it was all as a result of politics and racism, we even know the names of those responsible, but it is additionally shameful and perverse , that the faceless medical establishment , in the form of "big Pharma" have been allowed to play a major role in continuing to prevent mankind from enjoying the benefits of this plant, purely to enable them to continue selling us their nasty chemical based pills and potions

Some might point to the concept of "face" when trying to explain Thainess but "face" is a common thing in asia and not unique to Thailand , A fundamental part of Thainess is being extremely patriotic, slightly xenophobic and a sharing of a common bond, akin to being part of one large family, it's them against the world in their eyes. Personally I am a jealous of them, It used to be like that everywhere once, before the removal of any sense of national identity in western countries by globalism and the "diversity" agenda.

Absolutely. and I believe the charges for excess baggage are extortionate too, A total weight allowance is obviously the way to go based on an average weight, lets say 80kilos for guys and 60 kilos for women (and that's being generous) go over it and pay more, stay under and pay less, and all the fat people should be seated next to each other As you might expect fat people are now classed as victims in the UK and mentioning their condition is almost classed as a "hate crime" However as is often the case , it is perfectly acceptable to criticise thin people, no problem at all to refer to them as stick insects

"Horrific" jesus you must have lead a very sheltered life we are not talking about Crack Smack and Meth on this thread. Did you know there are different kinds of recreational drugs ? Or does the "magistrates for dummies" hand book not bother to explain the differences? Then again why would they, for those only be dealing with minor cases of "drugs" possession However I understand that the graphic recounts of shoplifting must have been very traumatic

What a load of rubbish, Have you actually read what you copied and pasted ? "one study estimated approximately" what sort of "evidence" is that ??? "Another study estimated,,,,," "around a 10%" likelihood " absolutely meaningless. And then there's "Marijuana use disorder" when was that invented ? What is the difference between the "orderly" and "disorderly" use of "Marijuana" and what is the difference between "use disorder" and the imaginary addiction The risks of "harm" from doing absolutely anything at all increases with frequency and when adolescents are involved so the final sentence is also totally meaningless That entire article is completely made up , just the usual rubbish quoted by those who for whatever reason have an anti cannabis agenda, when they wish to give the impression that their aversions are science based, Totally fictional statistics that can neither be proved or disproved. Are you aware of the origin of the use of the word "marijuana" Why do you think they used that word in the article instead of cannabis? And you were a magistrate ..... oh dear

"addicted" !!! what on earth are you talking about?? You really should refrain from commenting on matters about which you know nothing

Could adopt one "in theory"

but not all of them are excessive consumers of alcohol or vociferous opponents of cannabis, As far as I am concerned no drinker of alcohol has the right to claim the moral high ground over the consumer of any drug. If one had to give an example of hypocrisy its pretty much perfect

Its not just a feeling, its a fact. I guarantee that 99% of the most vocal opponents of cannabis are vociferous consumers of alcohol. Once they have accepted their dependance, as they all inevitably must, their self esteem hits rock bottom, they consider themselves the lowest of the low, until they get themselves nicely misinformed about cannabis via the usual official channels. Then, believing all the rubbish they have been told , about "drugs" they start to imagine that they have stumbled upon a group of people a step or two below themselves in society. Their constant attacks on cannabis users and the vilification of cannabis its self are only an attempt to deflect attention from and sanitise their own issues. Not unlike some of the the very, very unsavory prisoners who picki on paedophiles in prison

So basically, just to clarify, you are up for casual homosexual encounters with effeminate looking men who dress up as women.? Does that make you a member of the LGBGT etc etc community?

What on earth are you talking about,it had nothing to do with him

Pretty much nailed it, apparently according to "experts" their vocal disdain for cannabis and its users is their way of dealing with their own actual addiction to alcohol, A kind of coping mechanism, its a way of them convincing themselves that they are in someway superior because its just beer and not "drugs" they are in denial and its very complicated. Its also hilarious watching them panic on here before a "dry" day with often some smugly posting that they have stocked up, often with ridiculous amounts.

Well said, a successful, wealthy businessman, who moved into politics and has earned himself a seat near the head of the top table again, no mean achievement, esp considering the outcome of the election. it's quite obvious he's neither a clown or a fool, I would also bet that those who, irrationally, get their panties wedged up their a$$ over Anutin are the same people who start wetting the bed at the mention of cannabis

the bottom line would be that you don't have a clue what you are talking about.

And he can't even find a stupid one

What do you expect, he appears to have regressed to the age of looking up naughty words in the dictionary

Oh I think most people, who are genuinely concerned about respecting Thai law and indeed Thai women manage perfectly well without any specialist legal knowledge of the laws relating to underage prostitution. or indeed the penalties for breaking them.

Most people, including regular users of bargirls, have never even heard of "the 1996 suppression of prostitution act" . The few amongst us with any knowledge of this legislation, will have their own, probably private, reasons for being so well informed, and in my opinion are to be treated with deep suspicion and kept at arms length. The only people who would feel the need to educate themselves regarding these laws are those who have already broken or are considering breaking them, and are wondering what penalties they might be subject to, if caught and convicted.

what is one of those?

surprised he was considered fit to fly

along with the prosecution of people helping out in the emergency, for visa offences

You sound scared, pull yourself together man for gods sake, were you like this before covid?? no of course you weren't. There are always seasonal viruses floating around, people catch them, a small percentage will die, that is normal. Stop worrying and stop trying to scare others

And you wish it to become Land of Stupid ideas?

And do you think that advice has served you well during your 15 years.?

most peoples 1st class insurance does exactly that
