Bday Prang

Ok I see what you mean , however I was in the UK when the vaccines were handed out, and there was no smartphone use required , good job really as I don't own one.

you've lost me with that, and I would normally ask you to elaborate a little but every time I go "off topic" my posts disappear so I guess its one for another day ,however I pretty much agree with you on what you have posted

Absolutely correct

Myself and the Thais that I know do not need to see a uniform in order to show due respect, I'm well aware of my place in the scheme of things as are they regarding their status amongst their own, I have no time or respect for uniforms

You may have a point , and I kind of agree, but its not yet a legal requirement

Are you Chewing ?

As do many if not all government employees, many, if not all, of whom display a very impressive collection of medals, I'm no expert but I'm thinking that the purpose of these uniforms is multi faceted. It designates the wearer as being a member of an authoritarian organization and as such (and for no other reason) isuperior to those who are not "entitled" to wear one, and therefore worthy and deserving of their respect, furthermore the trimmings and medals Identify the wearers "rank" within the organization that the uniform represents and denotes where respect or deference is due from other members of the same group Probably quite useful in the case of the police force or the military but a bit pointless and really just plain weird when it extends to the likes of "teachers" who should be able to earn respect by virtue of their words and actions, and "town hall" employees who are not really due anymore respect than anybody else I doubt very much if the kid in question is going to suffer "long term trauma or any other distress" they and the other kids will either be laughing about it or have forgotten about it already . "long term trauma or any other distress" is a relatively modern concept dreamed up by members of the woke west, as is the "counselling" required to address it

Well, ti be honest there are plenty of kids being raised by elderly grandparents who, despite it being 2022 and "theoretically" having access to the internet / social media have absolutely no idea how to use it, and no inclination to learn at their time of life, and I fully understand and agree with that. This is also not unique to "up-country" locations in Thailand it is a generational thing

As is seen on the news regularly "inter school" fighting is not unheard of, I doubt uniforms are particularly effective at controlling this behaviour as they give people a sense of group identity whilst clearly identifying the opposition. Can anybody else think of other "situations" were uniforms are inflammatory ?

your response being... Utter chaos, another fine example of just why this whole thing on June 9th should not have been rushed through before appropriate laws and regulations were in place. "officials jumped the gun by insisting on licenses that don’t actually exist nor were required by law." “That’s exactly the point,” he said. “Welcome to Thailand.” There is no "chaos" you are being melodramatic . The only thing this is a "fine example of" is " lily livered politicians " who having made a brave and forward thinking decision have now lost the courage of their convictions when faced with opposition from a very vocal minority, who's voice has been amplified as usual by mainstream media, This has been exacerbated by opposition MP's who , naturally, think they have spotted an opportunity to discredit the current administration, and have jumped on the bandwagon regardless of their personal feelings towards the legalisation. You and your fellow prohibitionists are well outnumbered on this forum and this reflects the current views of society in general. As usual the politicians are well out of touch with how people really feel, mainly due to them forming their opinions on matters like this by listening to the aforementioned vocal minorities and mainstream media, If they bothered to actually meet, talk to and listen to all the members of their constituencies they would see things as they really are. That applies to all matters. not only cannabis.

Oh dear ! you seem to have fired off a little "prematurely!" (cannabis can help with that, along with may other problems, lol) and before you ask here is your link... https://coconuts.co/bangkok/news/weed-whiplash-arrest-order-for-dispensary-operators-revoked-after-spreading-confusion-fear/

you don't understand sarcasm, do you?

not easy to find one of those in our village ......anyway what exactly did you mean by "again" has somebody been talking

And if I was in his position I'd do exactly the same, as would anybody else, if only they were honest enough to admit it

I have 5555555

Seriously , Who is Anutin? and what if any is his connection to the cannabis industry ? What is the main reason that the current government is in power? Is it not due to the results of the election?

I guess that could be true, but once my own grow is ready the only chemicals involved were a good dose of traditional N . P and K with a modest dose of secondary nutrients and trace elements. come to think of it I could have made use of the huge amount of b/s available on here then it would be truly organic

priceless absolutely priceless 5555

might be the way forward

Lets be honest none of it is healthy to smoke, but its a choice we make

Nobody should be lobbying anybody to ban anything, If you don't want to smoke then don't, but please keep your nose out of other peoples business Although in all honesty a ban on muslims would not bother me at all

I'm guessing they were Thai marines and more than likely conscripts, in which case even without being intoxicated they are incapable of even tying their own shoe laces

I'm not doubting your expertise, but I have never concerned myself as to % of THC and have managed fine for the last 40 odd years. Checking of THC % to all intents and purposes is not an option for anybody, bit like checking the % alcohol in ones beer. Even if it was possible I don't think you would become very popular. Setting up all the equipment required prior to paying 100bt for 10g of weed would soon get on peoples nerves

I was going to disagree, but i couldn't find the motivation

Everybody?? except those who would see users criminalised as before,
